Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong with my ZZ plant? It was thriving when I got it, in the same soil and pot it’s in now. I kept it under a grow light, but the leaves started turning yellow, so I moved it to a shadier spot since they like low light in the wild. I let the soil dry out, only watered it once, and haven’t used any fertilizer. I’ve just been leaving it alone, but the leaves and stems are drooping and it’s still not doing well. The pot has no drainage and the soil holds water for a while, but I’ve been careful not to overwater to avoid root rot.

Anyone know why this little guy is growing some roots way up high as well as a new shoot (growing up the side of the glass)? In a terrarium, which it seems to like a lot, but I was just curious why it’s started to grow like this.

Thanks to all the help I have received on here, my polka dot begonia propagation was able to be potted and is ready for my mom this Mother’s Day weekend!

I got this plant as a cutting. It had a split leaf on it but that part died while it was trying to grow roots in water. I'm trying to figure out what it is. I believe it's a type of monstera but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It took me a while to find a clear pot to plant this little baby. But she looks good and has done well with the change from water to soil. And she even has a new leaf coming out. So excited to watch her grow.

too hot inside, too wild outside: what should i do with my plants while i travel? 😥
hey plant people! 🌱 i live in nyc and will be traveling for about 3 weeks this summer. i’m trying to figure out the best way to keep my plants alive while i’m gone. i have around 15 plants, some big and some small ones.
i have an outdoor patio and was thinking of leaving them outside so they get fresh air instead of being stuck in my hot, closed-up apartment, but i’m worried about the unpredictable summer weather—nyc can get really hot and also have sudden heavy rains and windy days.
would building something like a diy awning or cover be enough to protect them? or would it be better to leave them inside and ask a neighbor to stop by once a week to water them? (though i’m not sure how well they'll do in the heat without good airflow)
would love to hear how others have handled this—any tips or advice would be super appreciated! thanks! 🙏💚

Zone 7a peeps - what are your go to outdoor plants? I am in zone 6b and just bought a home a few hours south. Im hoping an ever so slight change in climate might open up a couple opportunities. Maybe for gardenia? What other ideas do you have!?

Has anyone in North Carolina had any success with planting Lantana outside?

Advice welcome!! I found scale on my monstera on Sunday this week : just a couple adults, no babies! I’m so paranoid, I picked them all off and used insecticidal soap top to bottom. I’m thinking of also repotting with fresh soil just to be extra safe - is that necessary or am I going into panic mode too soon? I just love this plant and don’t want her to die 😭

Hi friends! I am moving states soon and trying to figure out how to get my plants there in one piece? I will not have a car so it’s looking like the only option is to ship all of my plants and hope (not my decision unfortunately, and if it were up to me I would just drive each leg of the move myself). Have any of you shipped live plants before, and if so how did you do it? Did they survive the journey? 🥲
I’m planning on rehoming/gifting a couple of plants that I know will do better here than there (that’s the other thing— completely different climates), but I’d like to keep as many of my kids intact as possible since I am way too attached to let all of them go 🥲🥲🥲

Shishigashira - Lions Head Japanese Maple is not in the database.
How do you add the plant in your garden?

Hi everyone, my cherry tomato plant is growing quite a bit. However, I noticed the leaves are getting a dark color to them. Does anyone know if this is from too much sun/or too much water?!
Camryn
I think a mouse got in & is eating the fertilizer sticks in my plants…. setting traps tonight but any ideas otherwise?
I was told red pepper flakes on the soil may help, but want to hear other feedback as well

I welcomed this beauty to my home today😍 Hope to keep her happy and healthy!

Hey everyone! What are some beginner friendly plants that i should pick up? So far i have a Satin Pothos, Golden Pothos, Snake Plant, Prayer Plant, and some kind of succulent (not sure exactly what it is). But, i’m looking for more plants to add to my collection! I adore plants! For reference, I only have one south-facing window in my house. I also have 2 cats & a dog, so there are some plants that I won’t risk getting due to them being toxic to my animals. I currently have some that are toxic for my animals, but I keep them hanging from the ceiling where my animals are unable to reach them.
Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I have four new leaves that are growing on the outskirts of my snake plant, right up against its pot. Is this bad? Should I try to separate them and put them in a new pot? I don’t want to hurt them because they’re new, so I would love y’alls advice for the best plan of action, if any is needed! Thank you!

Alrighty, I might be too late asking for help for my plants but what can I do for these babies?

Planta says 3 plants of mine (money plant, snake plant and scindapsus) are in too dark of a spot (6 feet from a window, bright indirect light all day) but if I place them any closer (aka in the window) they suffer. I don't have a solution for this for the app. Anyone else have this problem?
