Hi everyone! I want to get into plants but I’m worried about the toxicity of them because I have two littles running around. Can anybody suggest what plants I can bring into my home that won’t poison my kiddos if they get too curious? TIA!!

I bought a new spider plant and feel like a lot of leaves on the bottom have been dying and noticed a spider plant baby’s stem turning brown. Can I cut/trim the leaves to give more space for healthier leaves and babies?

I’m hoping this is not a problem anymore, but when I was doing a progress report on my Petra, I noticed this small leaf at the very base of the plant. It just looked like something had been munching its way across the leaf. I can see little teeny holes through the leaf along an irregular line. Should I tear my hair out now, or is this perhaps, a thing of the past…🤞? TIA!

Hello! I am new ish to the plant community. I have had a bird of paradise come into my home a few months ago. I've been attempting to humidify him and fertilize him. He has shade for the first half of the day and some direct sun as directed. He doesn't stand tall and is very droopy is the best word? His leaves are torn, brown, and curling and I need some help with a diagnosis? If anyone has any clues I'd appreciate it! This plant has never flowered as I was told by the past owner.

What is this thing that just shot up out of my aloe’s dirt? I swear, one day it wasn’t there, and then next time I looked, there it was! Unfortunately, I went to pull on it, and the fuzzy stuff on it, came off on my fingers… so it looks kind of bare and slimy… 😣! Also, it’s really stuck in there. It feels hard to the touch, kind of like a little tiny potato with fuzz…something from outer space? Good or bad? Comments? TIA!

Hi!! I have a pink quill/bromeliad and the central flower is doing good but I wanted help on the leaves around it. They're doing generally okay but could definitely improve so is there anything I should do to boost them? Some will get small brown tips but there's never anything bad/major

Hi everyone! This plant is a Dracaena. I got it last year in the summer. I have it near a window with not a lot of light. Often times I forget to water the plant. How can I help this plant look healthy again?

So I rescued this little guy on the side of the road with b bunch of free stuff. I cut and propagated some right away cause I really didn't think it was going to live. Now there is great new growth in the center of the pot. Some my question is should I get a pole for the long piece or cut and propagated it? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hello, im just stepping in to my journey of house plants! I’m looking for some advice. Should I cut any of these crispy edges off, the whole leaf, or just leave it alone for now? I repotted a few days ago and now I’m just a little unsure what to do.

I have a Norfolk Pine that I feel needs more watering? But the app recommends for me to water in about couple days, even though the soil is dry. I’m not sure how to change the watering schedule or just leave it dry until the app recommends?

I need some help here friends, I’m debating if I want to try starting up a bonsai journey or start a bamboo journey. I tried bonsai before but the soil / seeds got moldy so I got discouraged. I’ve never tried bamboo. What do you guys think? As for a bonsai a standard pine style (if I’m saying it correctly) or a Japanese red maple would be fun to try. Thoughts? I already have a bonsai starter kit, wires, and soil for it along with the ceramic pot once it’s time.

This ogre ears has one branch that hangs way down and gets in the way. It needs to be chopped and rooted, but I'm not sure where to cut it. Any advice would be much appreciated. TIA
