Any tips on my polka dot plant? She started out with very pretty leaves, but then I found the tips of some leaves were turning brown, and eventually fell off… or I picked them off! What are the secrets to raising a healthy and happy polka dot plant? TIA… 🤗💚🪴 PS. Those pics are various stages of my plant as she is trying to survive. The one of her sitting on white was taken after I lopped off all of her stems, and she started regrowing. However, I’m starting to notice that a number of her leaves have those brown tips, again…???

Hi, I’ve been putting in these sticky fly traps but it’s not really doing anything.. they just keep growing. I also have been spraying her with the myst but that’s also not doing anything.. Please help, if u can suggest something affordable to kill them all off without harming my peace Lily then it would be appreciated !

Hello! I was looking at my Syngonium today and realized… I’m pretty sure it’s two different varieties. Got it from a friend about 6-7 months ago and am now realizing it doesn’t all look like the same plant. Some leaves are true to the variety I previously believed was the only one in the pot, but others are just a green with dark green. Any idea what’s going on here?

I ordered some tissue cultures and im new to them. When they arrive I plan to leave them in their little bag in my greenhouse cabinet for 2 days for them to get used to the temperature before then putting them in fluval stratum in 100% humidity. My question is if I plan to eventually put these guys in appropriate soil mixes, how can I transition them there from fluval stratum? Also, Ive seen people do 1:1 fluval stratum to perlite off the bat but Ive run out of perlite. Is JUST fluval statum ok? Do I need perlite at all whether be off the bat or to help with transitioning? I have pumice on hand btw, idk if that can substitute perlite if necessary.

This makes me so happy. This is almost all of my 70 plants. My mom gifted me the plant stand on the left last Christmas and I bought the one on the right with Christmas money this year, and moved almost all of my plants to the south-facing window in my kitchen for the rest of the winter.

For those of you with humidifiers, how high of humidity do you aim for?

Advice! Elephant ear is gaining more roots, but also losing some due to rot. (I’ve pulled/cut off as much rot as I could access;plant seems to be doing fine regardless) A). I won’t be able to get a bigger pot until Thursday. In the meantime should I just leave the roots or cut them down? B). How do I prevent root rot? (In Leca) C). This is the second time I’ve noticed them. Anytime I take my pot out of the reservoir there are 100s of tiny white things moving . Springtails? Can they become harmful? Every time I see them I change water and wash the pot. How do I stop them? They make my skin crawl lol

Anyone know what's wrong with my Pilea Mollis? Noticed a lot of black/brown tips on her leaves :( Background info: has mealybugs (being treated currently with neem + dish soap), never been repotted (4 weeks since purchase), misted regularly, watered around every 14 days

Free plant space. What humidity loving plants should I put in here? I was thinking in general anthuriums, alocasias, variegated plants, “rare”/fragile plants etc but I would like some more specific recommendations. Im totally open to suggestions outside what I was originally thinking btw.

I was recently put in charge of taking care of my 92-year-old great-aunt’s guzmania for her. I’m new to bromeliads and read that they slowly start to die on their own after a while, and could really use some help with what to expect and how to care for a plant like this. It is already flowering and was recently gifted to her. TIA for any responses. (I’d also like to wish everyone happy holidays, especially to those whose holidays are yet to come 😊)
