Hi everyone! I have noticed recently that with the warmer weather, stupid bugs are starting to come around again. You can’t see any in this picture, I just added it for fun since this is one of my favorite plants I own, but does anyone know how to get rid of little gnats and stuff being in my plants and the dirt they are in? I was going to just spray everything down with really strong bug spray, but I read online that bug spray can kill plants. I am willing to try anything once! TIA!!

I have a south facing balcony and I’m looking for any plant suggestions that would thrive in direct sunlight for long periods. (the second picture I included was taken at 10am for reference and there is now furniture lol this pic is from september) Also any tips / things to know about outdoor plants, I’ve only had indoor plants so far! :)

Good morning all🙂, So, fungus gnats... I have a dragon plant infested with them! I have the mosquito bits, but I am considering repotting because I don't think the soil is one that is chunky enough. It takes forever to dry out. My question is with this type of plant, is it OK to completely wash all the existing soil off the roots to repot in some fresh soil? TIA.😁

I’m gonna need someone to hold my hand when I say this… I have no idea what I’m doing… I just listen to the app🫣 but I’m trying very hard to become more knowledgeable about plants and taking care of them and I’m trying my best😌

Is there any way to have an avocado tree grow outdoors in the Northern USA in a large pot, like using burlap or a large greenhouse? It gets down to -10°F some winters.

Alongside our series on plant myths, we're also launching a new series featuring our employees’ favorite plants. First up is Anton: "This is one of my favorite plants in my collection. It’s an unusual epiphytic plant native to the Atlantic forests of Brazil and doesn’t have an English common name. Its scientific name is Nematanthus fissus, originally collected in Boracéia. I’ve had it for a couple of years now, and it means a lot to me since it's slow growing and I received it as a very small cutting from a dear friend. I grow many blooming houseplants, but for me, the plants I grow don’t always have to be showy to be special. I love this plant because it came from a friend, and it’s a species that isn’t too commonly cultivated. It has really oddly shaped blooms, like tiny, shining red whales scattered on the branches throughout most of the year in my growing conditions. I grow my plant in a southeast-facing window in a hanging pot. Although rare and slow growing, it’s a fairly easy-to-grow species belonging to the same genus as the more common clog plant / goldfish plant (Nematanthus gregarius)."

A friend has asked me to help divide and repot this beast. Not sure the best way to do this without breaking it. Any suggestions? Thanks for ant help.

My chayote squash that I grew from a seed outside of the fruit. I read it should be very difficult to grow successfully outside the fruit, is that weird.

Hi guys! I want to name my outdoor plants and would love some help! (I posted two separate pics of the hibiscus plants because I have two of them) Thanks!! If it helps to know what they are, I have two Chinese hibiscus, a midnight woodland sage, a “pinball wizard” sweet william, a variegated ginger lily, and a wax begonia 🫶🏼🌸

The nursery was getting too small and the roots started wrapping in the bottom…so it was finally time to transfer CCR to its 2nd pot and it looks so much better!

Has anybody ever used any of these products? Also, how do we feel about watering bulbs? (specifically for pathos and how do you edit your watering schedule for it?)

I have outdoor plants and each time I get a notification that rain was detected in my area, and click to confirm it’s rained, it doesn’t seem to change the water schedule. Anyone know why this might be? Thanks!

Hey my plant friends I grabbed some more babies today.. Shangri-la pothos (aka shaggy) and philodendron Brazil (aka moonlight)…I need some type of intervention 6 plants not even 48 hours apart 😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Should this be repotted? I inherited this Dracaena Marginata and do not have knowledge of when it was last potted/ what the root structure could be.
