Deciding when to water, is one of those things that drives everyone CRAZYā¦šµāš«! Iām posting a pic of the three moisture meters I routinely use, not including wooden STAKES, (which I use on all my plants that like to be dry before theyāre watered.) Iām really having a problem with the white one, which was highly recommended by several of you. Notice the white one shows my plant is 95% wet; COMPARE THAT READING TO THE READINGS OF THE OTHER TWO MOISTURE METERS! I purchased another one of the same white moisture meters, and it is responding the sameā¦ it will show my plant is 95% wet for quite a while! (I havenāt actually gotten to that part of the experiment where I figure out how many days it will stay at
95%!) Iām feeling like this is not a very trustworthy moisture meter; why does it show a plant is 95% wet for at least a week or more, when the other moisture meters show dropping moisture values? TIA!

So I got this plant at a plant swap. It's a New Rio Philodendrom from what I was told. It has all these little starts in the pot and on the thick stem and I would love to propagate it but not sure how to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks for the help

Does anyone know what type of plant this is? Iām getting two wildly different suggestions from the app. This has been in my office cube for several years and Iām only just noticing that the bottom leaves are all dead. Iāve been looking a different side and basically ignoring it. Looks like I should repot - any advice? It is quite top heavyā¦

Is it too premature to have the itch to repot this guy? Iām not sure heāll widen out more due to current lighting situation

my elder norisle pines were getting a bit root bound so I took out a few of these little guys. Hoping to sell them for a little bit, although Im not sure if it'll become symmetrical like the elders with the little bits of light it has ben getting. Norfolk are really hard to grow indoors and I wouldn't recommend it but these older ones I don't have the heart to sell, and the new ones are gonna be awhile untill they're worth more than like 10 bucks. This one is the largest of the little ones, and he's a bit disoriented from the repotting. Can almost see those two branches as arms like the š¤·. He has no idea what just happened hahaha. ( Older trees also shown for reference.)

Hi all
Just looking for guidance, Iāve had some root rot issues with Arrowhead plant. Iāve cut infected root, cleaned the plant and managed to get new root successfully by keeping in water.
Root is relatively short and seems when I pot it in soil, plant gets de stressed and flops
Iāve placed it back in water and wonder if maybe root needs to be much longer before I try and pot again? Has anyone had any experience or advice please
Thank you š

I just got a Pink Princess about a month ago. Itās been going down hill since then. It was in coco coir. I had it in a semi bright light and watering it when needed. I changed the soil and checked the roots. Roots are small not as much as I was hoping for the size. Still getting worse. I am thinking it would be best to put it in pon or perlite to help it in a different substrate. There are before and after pics. Any suggestions please? And thank you.

My strawberry plant is suddenly very sad :(
I bought the two baby plants last week, and immediately repotted. It was very warm, so I had the pot on my balcony in full sun (low temps were around 50F). It rained last Friday, but my strawberries were due for a water anyway. Immediately after the rain, it got cold, so I brought the strawberry inside where sheās now a few feet away from a south facing window. Itās definitely less light than the balcony, but still quite bright.
The day after the rain, one of the baby plants is all wilted :( I havenāt done anything to the plant since the soil has been slowly drying out (the top inch is currently dry, and then itās still damp beneath that). The other baby plant in the same pot is doing great, and I just found a new flower. Every single thing has been identical for the care for these strawberries, they have been in the same pot since I got them.
Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix? I know the pot is a bit large, but I added quite a bit of extra perlite to the potting soil (itās an indoor potting soil) as well as a layer around 4 inches thick on the bottom of the pot of just perlite.
As a side note, itās still pretty cold outside (so sheās been in my south facing window since the cold rain) and Planta says strawberries can be placed outside in pots starting in April in my area.

My first plant in my house. Need help! The soil feel dry after watering with 2 ice cubes Saturday. I feel like I should water it again but from what Iāve read on the money tree it should be 7-10 days between watering? Any advice for a beginner would be greatly appreciated!
