I’d love some advice about repotting my ZZ Plant. She is a favorite and absolutely thriving. She is starting to get root bound I think. I keep seeing the roots encircling and getting tangled from the bottom, the root are at the top soil being exposed, plus, there’s a bulging out section from roots. I included it in the photo but it is likely hard to see, but incredibly easy to feel because it’s hard as a rock. I have seen many ZZ Plants have transplant shock/die after replanting and I’m terrified to lose her. How do I replant? What type of soil? I’m running to the nursery today so I can pick up whatever is needed.

how important is misting, really? i understand the main purpose is to clean your plants (i’m not quite at the humidity control level of plant parenthood yet) but i’ve seen a lot of people prefer using microfiber gloves for the cleaning process (and jack’s bug off spray as well?).
can i just use one of these methods? if so, which do you prefer and why?

I transplanted my snake plant after treating for root rot. Should I go ahead and give it a little water? I used succulent potting soil.

hey! this is my MIL’s elephant ear plant. She’s had it for YEARS and it’s done amazing, but she repotted 2 days ago with fresh soil and it went limp. At first we just thought it was being dramatic and went into shock, but after closer inspection of the leaves it looks like something else might be the culprit. Please help!!

Should I repot this guy? Just got him and not sure if that pot is too small or if I put him in a bigger one if he’ll grow bigger? Need advice please and thank you! ☺️

Here I am, asking for help again 😩 my philo golden melinonii is sick. The tagged pic is from March 19th and all was good. But today not so much. The planta diagnosis suggests overwatering or a fertilizer issue.. but care hasn’t changed.. no pests detected and no other changes.. any ideas??

Does anyone have any idea why my yucca leaves are turning yellow?? I’ve had her for over 2 years and have never had this issue before. I only water her about every 2 weeks and she’s under a grow light that’s further away for 4hr per day. The only thing that’s changed is I took her outer plastic pot off and put her into this wicker basket recently. Do you think that could be it?

Planta is telling me to prune this cilantro plant? Am I cutting off these little flat and smooth leaves or should I just leave it to keep growing more and just skip the Planta task?

Can someone please help me ID this plant? My mom saved these pieces from the dying plant and is attempting to propagate them - lots of new roots growing! I’ll be putting them in soil today but would like to know more about it so I can give it the best care. Thanks in advance!

Please help😫 I thinned out and repotted my Sweet William seedlings and the stems were very weak due to the lack of sun they were getting from being overcrowded so I propped them up… first few hours after repotting was fine but now 2 days later they are wilting and leaves are curling/dying :((
Are they dead; should I just start over? Or is there a way to revive them? Photos attached of now, just after repotting, and before repotting. Any advice appreciated please :)

My orchid lost all its flowers and has been a stick for a couple months. I know they go dormant so I was being patient.
I’ve notice a second arm started to grow but going the wrong direction! I turned her around so her arm can move the other way (I’m assuming it’s stretching towards the sun, that’s why it’s doing a curve now lol)
I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to handle her new arm, I’ve tried moving it a bit to hold it down but she’s study and I do not wanna snap her.
Will I eventually have to get her, her own bendy pole on her side.. not sure…

How to prepare water?
Hi green fingers, I have a question on water. I live in city center apartment and tap water is all I got, no rain water or distilled water available as suggested by planta. Is there anything I can do to reduce the harm to plant caused by tap water?
