Hi! I’m new here, and I’m trying (again) to be a houseplant mom after many unsuccessful attempts over the years. I bought this Schismatoglottis wallichii on Saturday at Walmart. She was in a wick and grow pot and had two yellow wilting leaves. I checked the pot when I got home, and there was no water. So I put water in the outside pot and put her back in with the wicks in the water. She started guttating Saturday night. It sounds like this is normal if she got too much water. I checked the outside pot yesterday, and it was empty. She’s still guttating this morning. My moisture probe says the soil is just barely moist. Do I wait to water again until she stops guttating? Is this the wrong pot for her? I don’t want to repot her yet as she’s adjusting to her new home. But I’ve killed a lot of plants, so I don’t exactly trust myself. I appreciate any guidance y’all kindly provide!

Hey all! My Moses in the cradle plant has been doing really well, but I’m wondering if it’s outgrowing its pot? It’s getting taller so I’m wondering how will I know to repot it into a larger pot? I’m afraid of putting it into shock. Thank you in advance!

Should I separate this bunch and repot them so it’s 1 stem for each pot? Got these philodendron birkin at Walmart and they came with 4 in a nursery pot. I like how bushy the bunch looks but was wondering if I should break them apart. Has anyone grown birkin without separating?

I have two new plants! I am in heaven right now. I am sort of new to taking care of plants. The two that I got today are a ponytail palm and a cactus. I also kind of rescued them from home Depot, the cactus had mold in the soil so I took the mold out and added some cinnamon. Any other recommendations on how to take care of these guys? I chose to him outside in full sun as the planta app told me. these are Bramble and Biana ❤️🪴🌱

This is my first monstera and I really want her to thrive. I’ve seen things here and there about removing the small leaves that grow at the bottom, is this true? Which should I remove/how do I tell which to keep and which to get rid of?

I just got this Hoya krimson princess a few days ago for only $7 I think it’s from a propagation and I just repotted it. What are your thoughts? Does it look like it’s healthy and will grow?

Love the new gifting feature in the app! In preparation for a move across country, I gave the majority of my humidity-loving plants to a local friend, and I actually felt a bit sad to have to “send them to the plant graveyard” on the app, when I know they are going to a lovely green-thumb home! In closing the loop of my time with my plants, it made me feel quite settled, happy, and gratified. 💝🪴

A LOT of plant chores this weekend. I think I repotted 13 total. A couple different mixes to accommodate the begonia and anthurium. 3 alocasias are scheduled to move to leca tomorrow. Wish me luck on that cause I’m a newbie on that front! Currently ignoring the two monsteras cause they’re gonna be BEASTS to take care of

Help please with this plant, I have had this Olvera for probably about four or five years and it has been doing great and then all of a sudden through the past two months it has just got these black spots on it and it is getting worse and worse and I think it’s killing it and I have no idea what to do. Anything will help, thanks
