anybody else have a yucca cane? about how long does it take these buds to come out the stem? I haven’t been consistently keeping track but it seems like forever 😕

I recently got some ornamental chili peppers and was wondering when the right time to put them into soil is. Tips on how to grow them will be helpful too. And why does one of them have a hole in the side?

Hi!! A novice plant mama here. Just bought / repotted this monstera about 4 days ago. The woman at the garden center said it was only on the clearance rack bv I needed to be repotted and was otherwise healthy (score!) It came with this patch on one leaf - hasn’t grown or transferred to any other leaves since I got it. Ive had it in the shade since but transferred it to a west facing window today to get a bit of sun today. My instinct was to prune it off but wanted to check to make sure it isn’t sun damage or a humidity issue. TIA!

I am thinking of getting a Satin Pothos for my office that is in desperate need of some personality. There is no window, just overhead fluorescent lights, so was wondering if anyone could give me some advice… I was thinking of getting a simple LED plant light to go with it. Thoughts/advice?

Question about the fertilizer task reminders in the app. I am assuming these get tacked onto a regular watering task? For example, if one of my plants gets watered every week, every 4th week I would get *only* a liquid fertilizer reminder, not a watering reminder?

I got this fiddle leaf fig a week ago and have been slowly trying to acclimate it to be outdoors on my east facing balcony. I’ve been putting it out in the shade for like 1 - 3 hours every morning at sunrise, but it’s still been getting scorch marks on the leaves. Anybody have any tips for continuing to adjust it to outdoors while still preventing the sunburn??

I knew this Agleonema Silver Bay needed repoting, but Amazon is holding my potting soil mix ins hostage....aka, they are out for delivery. I realized today that the initial plant(s) were in those little baskets when I saw them peeking out the top of the soil. Of course now I have to really see....and took it all apart. Look at those roots!!!! In debate if I want to pot up or cut the roots back and keep it at the current size. Any thoughts?

My youngest two kids were doing their usual fighting/pushing and this happened. I kept my cool but sent them upstairs so I could pick them up and clean but I’m bawling now. I’ve had my spider from my other son for two years and the burgundy rubber I saved and it was starting to com back. Now everything is ruined!! Can I fix them?

I bought these little mushroom guys last year on temu and just thru them in my plants but today I think I might have found a use for them 👀 😊

So a few weeks ago I repotted a couple plants - a snow queen pothos here and a variegated Alocasia frydek - into self watering pots. In both, but mostly in my pothos, the roots grew so fast and down into the water through the drainage holes. But they’re also showing so much new growth since I did this. Is it okay if I leave them like this for awhile? I just worry about root rot!

For my next plant (still a beginner plant mom), which one is the next best - Hoya, English ivy, or a snake plant? Thank you 🥰

Anyone else live further north and find your plants actually grow more in the winter than summer?? I find in the summer the sun is so high in the sky it doesn’t come as far in my house and if I move my plants closer to the windows they burn pretty quickly. It seems like in the winter when the sun is lower in the sky my plants are always putting out new growth. Anyone else find this??

Hi everyone, I have just recently started taking care of this rubber Belize plant. I am worried about the plant’s yellowish leaves, but have read with new growth sometimes the leaves may take on a yellow tint. At this time, I only water this plant once a week according to Planta’s watering schedule. I also repotted my plant and made sure the pot had a drainage hole. In addition, I put plant fertilizer sticks in the soil a few weeks ago. This plant resides on a table a few feet from the window. Should I be worried about the yellowish leaves? In the picture of my plant online, the leaves look like they are supposed to have a more pinkish tint. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.

Hi! I’m new to gardening outdoor plants. What kind of soil is best for herbs and vegetables that are in a balcony? I planted basil thyme rosemary butterhead lettuce and kale earlier this season but I think is not draining properly even tho I made a lot of holes to the planter box. I think is the soil but I’m not sure which soil should I use. Any info welcomed!!

Good Morning from North Carolina!☀️ Can anyone share how to take care of Rabbits foot fern.

Cross post... any one local to the Upper Valley NH/VT that would be interested in swaps/trades? I've been doing so much propagating, especially Alocasia's at the moment. I've got some Pollys, Frydek, scalprum corms brewing, soon to be Stingrays brewing. I don't have room to house so many of the same plants. I do gift some to co-workers...but thought it may be fun to swap if any of you are close by?? Just a thought. I don't have social media like FB for market place..
