So need some plant experts on this one (I’m somewhere on the intermediate level as far as plants are concerned - I have around 50+ plants and have several in self watering pots that are doing phenomenal).
However, I know self watering pots are controversial in the plant community LOL - but wondering if in this case putting a Aglaonema in one was a bad idea & if it’s causing rot?🤔
it’s a very contradicting situation cause:
1. I cut off about a dozen “yellowing leaves” (photo below) today.
2.it also has a ton of new growth which makes me think it’s fine but might need to be watered less? (Note: I water it every 12 days instead of every week to account for the extra water at the bottom it’s soaking up).

I have a spot where the closest window (which is HUGE) is probably around 5 meters away, any plant suggestions for that spot? Mostly hanging plants please because I have two little kitty monsters

Anyone have a good amount of experience with scindapsus’s?
This is my 3rd attempt at having one & I’m having issues with the leaves curling & the plant eventually dying or to the point where it just looks awful - does that mean it needs more water or is it perhaps another issue?
I got the one in the pic 6+ months ago & it’s doing okay since I repotted a few months ago in a chunkier tropical soil mix, but not as good as I’d like - still noticing some curling leaves & really small new growth! (note: have it on a 6 day watering schedz about 1ft away from an east facing window so it should be getting a good amount of morning light).

Quick question! I’m looking for something to buy to create more space on my windowsill for my plants. I have pretty narrow windowsills all throughout my house, and sadly my dad is the one that lucked out with all the south windows in his room, leaving me with one little south windowsill to work with on the first floor. Does anyone have anything they’ve used to extend a windowsill, or any shelving item that they’ve bought to stick to a window? TIA! I have a fast growing Jade plant that’s quickly outgrowing its spot, but I don’t wanna move her from the “succulent corner” I have that I use as a nice display of my plants that everyone can see through the window of the front of our house when people come in.

I am starting to branch out into some more unusual plants. I got my philodendron Florida ghost in the mail today and I couldn’t be more excited!! Any tips on how to care for this beauty would be much appreciated. My plan for now is to basically treat it like my pink princess.

A grasshopper got into the house and ate my plant. Is there anything I can use indoors to protect my plants?

Does anyone know why this is happening? 😭😭

I repotted a Rex begonia & it is really REALLY wilty going on 2 days now. Will it bounce back? Is this a dramatic plant like fittonias? Does anyone have any tips with this plant? I can’t find hardly any specific info on its characteristics. It was so pretty before paranoid me thought it could’ve been suffering from overwatering/rot.

Help! I was looking at my monstera propagation and I noticed a cloudy like substance near the end. I change the water weekly. But I don’t want it to be mold or something that will harm it. What is it? And should I remove it? Any other tips appreciated! Thank you!! 😊

How do I care for Romain lettuce? Can I put this in soil and keep growing it forever? Or how does this work

Do any of you make your own African violet soil mix? I have a ton of amendments for my aroids, but I only have one tiny violet, so I don’t really want to buy a whole bag of specialty soil. I have a some fine peat that I decided ages ago I hated as a mix-in lol, but the violets might actually like it! I also have perlite, sphagnum, worm castings, and all that jazz
Gotchya day pic for tax 😉 I recently learned that variegated African violets actually go all green during the hot months. Who knew?? So even though mine has become green and plain looking since this pic was taken, it should go pink and white again in the fall 🤗

Attention Amaryllis Bulb People!
Ok. It is mid August. Last year I let my Amaryllis bulbs remain outdoors until end of October due to the nice weather. Needless to say I had Easter Blooms and not Christmas Blooms.
Pictured here are my three bulbs with their massive green plumage. The past 4 weeks the bulbs themselves have seemed to even begun to store all that energy as they are harder to the touch.
Should I:
A) Let them stay outside and have Easter Blooms in 2025
B) Put them in the basement to die back for Holiday 2024
p.s. I can’t believe that Basil plant is still kicking too.

So I’m going off to college in less than two weeks, but I’m trying to pack all five of my plants to travel to my dorm. It’s about a three hour drive, and I’m worried about how to properly store them in order for them to stay in a healthy condition. I can easily carry my Haworthia in my lap, but my the other four are quite flimsy. How would I go about properly storing and transporting them?

I was just curious if you all prefer to make your own potting mix or buy? I am running into issues with aeration in my soil, which leads to my soils not drying out properly and all the issues that come along with it. The room I have the majority of my plants in is fairly high in humidity (south side sunroom). I have been using a store bought potting mix for most of my plants but I just don’t feel there is enough aeration in it. Any suggestions of potting mix you all use? I didn’t know if I could add pumice stones to the soil of all my plants or not? Thanks for any advice you have, I’m a fairly new plant mom! :)

Hi! I have a question about the app itself lol. I had three prickly pear babies propagating. They grew enough to be planted, so I combined them. Is there a way to combine three plants into one plant in the app without loosing the plant progress??
