Any advice on how to keep our 9 month old husky heeler mix from digging in and eating the soil in my large potted plants?? I tried cayenne pepper on the soil, but apparently he likes spicy food. 😅 He gets plenty of exercise, enrichment and love, he just really enjoys the dirt.
I may just end up getting river rock to put atop the soil.
He especially loves the soil in my fig and dracaena…thanks!

All right, I’ve had this plant for like four years. Completely healthy, always continuous growth, same location the entire time. Same lighting, humidity, etc. Like really no change that I can think of.
Pictured is the branch in question, where the leaves are not doing great.
On the other side of the plant, everything is hunky-dory, with one small caveat being that I’ve attempted to splint a heavy branch which is cracking under the weight 😆
What gives I wonder? I don’t see any pests. I water it with the same duration I always have.

Hey, I have a wonderful snake plant, but is currently playing fast and loose, having lots of babies and sacrificing lots of its other leaves. It is currently watering every 10 days but I can only get to it once a week. 2 things, can someone tell me what to do with the babies and dried leaves, and/or if there’s a way to game Planta into watering more frequently, as it’s soil is quite dry. Photos should explain. Cheers.

I have a flaming Katy, I had surgery last winter and my son transplanted it in a big pot. It is doing okay but I think I should report it in a smaller pot. What should I do

I have a jade plant in my home. It was propagated and potted about two months ago. It seems to be doing really well. I don’t have a lot of light at my house but it’s under a grow light 6 hours daily. It has even sprouted a bit. What I’m worried about is the white stuff in the soil. Is this normal or should I be concerned???? There is drainage at the bottom of the pot

I’m at a loss… my spider plant is giving me absolute hell and has since I got it about 2 months ago. I waited about 3 weeks then repotted. It got sunburnt (?) and has been struggling since. It’s less than half the size now and it’s breaking my heart. I thought these were impossible to kill!? HELPPPP 🥲

Hi! I'm rather new to caring for plants and I got this Olive Tree around a year ago when I first got into plants. She's grown a lot since I got her which surprised me since I live in Ireland (she's an indoor plant).
I was just wondering if there's anything I should do to make sure she grows healthily and happy even though these are not the best conditions. Any suggestions and advice at all are welcome, as I've said I'm very new to this and just want to make sure my plant is properly taken care of 🤍

Hello! Can you help me identify the type of Syngonium? I bought this from Lowe’s. Thank you!!

Hey y’all! I need help 😭 - I’m newish to plants, but if I can say so myself, I’ve learned a lot of things quickly. I have thriving alocasias and calatheas, and I’m very happy about it! There’s only one plant that consistently yellows and dies on me (I’ve had 5), and that’s pothos. Fam, I have no idea why the easiest plant is my biggest nightmare. Any tips? I’ve moved it away from AC’s, I’ve made sure it’s in bright areas, I’ve repotted and not repotted, and pothos always die on me.
The only possible reason I can think of is that I use an ULTRA chunky mix I make myself on all my plants - could pothos not really work in that? Does it need more water retention? Let me know your thoughts. Signed, a very tired plant mom 🤣

Is there a way to provide feedback/requests to the Planta team? I wish we could select which notifications we want. Such as turning off everything but watering tasks. I don’t want to do progress checks but there’s no way to turn it off unless I turn off all notifications, which defeats the point of watering reminders. More notification options in the settings please!

What humidifiers is everyone using?? I have a small one but I’m looking to upgrade. TIA!

Hello All,
I only plant patio tomatoes and small eggplants in pots because of my small back yard and I’m more of a “see if it grows” person (currently) and then I eat them.
A few of the tomatoes ripened early and I’ve had a few ripen every week or so and then they stopped growing. I continued to fertilize per instructions.
See tomatoes on 9/17. They look strange. Perhaps cold weather but my sister said they don’t look right. I picked a few this week that ripened over the last week but they still have a strange green on the top.
What don’t I know???

Does anyone know what this white stuff is on the edge of the monstera leaves? I notice this and will wipe them off and then the leave edge will turn brown/black or get pointy??

Ok- does anyone know what could be causing this on my money tree. I had to cut a lot of leaves off this past week and noticed a lot starting to do the same thing. I’m so sad I’ve had this plant for 7 years with no issues and now this. It was doing so well up until 2-3 weeks ago.

Will one pot size larger be big enough for this guy?
