hello everyone! i am a beginner at taking care of plants. I have aloe vera and a snake plant in my room which are very low maintenance and I got this peacock plant to challenge myself and to take care of it. for context, I live in Southern California and it is near a west facing window, but not right in front of the window because I read that it doesn’t like direct sunlight. Humidity, I have always struggled with maintaining and providing humidity to plants. I previously owned a polkadot begonia, and it didn’t work out. For this peacock plant, I wanted to post and get feedback or advice on how to maintain the healthy. Should I place it in the bathroom overnight to increase humidity. We all shower here in the morning, so it can receive a lot more humidity in the morning.

I inherited a Calathea Freddie about 6 months ago, it was looking ROUGH. There was absolutely no new growth in those last 6 months either! Decided to give it the BIG chop…. Look at all this new growth in only 2 weeks 🤩

I really think that people who love plants should be cautious of where their pots are coming from. I’ve seen so many people shopping for pots on SHEIN and temu or just using a lot of plastic pots, which are so bad for the environment. I just want to encourage y’all to think outside the box. Below are a couple plants and my current propagation projects. Instead of buying new glass wear for this I used thrifted salt and pepper shakers, used glass skincare bottles, an empty mason jar, and a used bath and body works candle. My point is you can help save our planet while saving money, and it’s a lot easier than you might think🫶 lots of love

I repotted my raspberry plant and there was this small one. I separated it and put it in its own pot but it started to die because it has no roots. I have dipped the roots in aloe Vera gel and put it in water. Do you think it will recover?

Anyone knows some good songs to listen to while doing plants things?

Tell me a plant that you struggle with and one that you absolutely love that is doing wonders for you!

Hellooo! So odd question but was wondering, have any of you BOP lovers overwintered them outside in semi tropical conditions? I live in zone 8b/9a and was wondering if I could do that

Hi y’all I’m new here but not new to plants. A friend of mine gave me this cute little baby rubber plant. It’s my first one and I know nothing about them. But I think the poor thing need to be in an actual pot. Needing some advice from actual people not google lol.

Can someone please advise what I do to revive my spider plant? I grew it from propagating roots in water to planting it in tropical soil (the roots were about 1-2 inches when planted). But it seems it’s not doing well. I thought it was getting too much light so I put it in a corner of partial sun. Thought I wasn’t watering enough so I watered it but now I feel the soil might be retaining too much water? I was going to repot the soil with more perlite but wondering if I should put it back in water to let roots grow more since that’s how it seemed happiest?

So I’ve been able to keep a pothos alive for 6 months now, which is a success for me - I would say it’s even thriving since I’ve seen several new leaves during this time. All plants around me tend to die for some reason, no matter how carefully I try to tend them. (I killed mint and I heard that’s nearly impossible!) I want to add a new plant to my home, What are other simple plants to care for, for beginners? Bonus if they are not toxic for cats.
