Hi! 👋 I am thinking of starting with an outdoor, potted plant (oh, and I reside in California). But, I have no idea what plant to start with especially because I am an absolute beginner. I have no idea where to start. Does anyone recommend a plant I should try out and maybe any sources you may have used to help you get started? I would love to read about it. Any tips welcomed. ☺️

My fiddle leaf fig is still only branching on one side. I did the pinch a month or so ago. It began branching only on the left side at the top. So I pinched that growth, now it's only growing on the right side. She has lots of light and a fan. Gets fertilized every other watering. I've tried some gentle notching but am worried about going too far. How do I get more branching?
This is my first string of dolphins and she is looking rough. Any tips?
What do the brown tips usually signify? Chemicals from tap water Lack of sunlight Too much sunlight Or something else?
Tropical Tuesday! Post the plant that makes your space feel like a rainforest 💚
Does anyone have a good orchid DIY mix? I don't want to purchase an orchid mix. I currently have it in 2 parts soil, 1 part perlite and 1 part orchid bark but I believe it’s getting root rot) I already have perlite, LECA, soil, pon, sphagnum moss, and orchid bark so I know I can make my own mix. What do the orchid people recommend?
Found this bug roaming around in my loquat seedlings today while watering, can anyone identify him? 🫣 (sorry for the bad photo, he’s pretty small)
My peace lily has fallen ill and I would like to know if I have to cut any brown or dead leaves
I need ideas to stake my fiddle leaf fig ! I have clear fishing line now tied to a small hook but it makes the plant immovable and some leaves are in the dark. Help!
Does anyone know what these tiny bugs are that are crawling around my plant? There are at least ten of them and they fly
I have a purple passion plant and the leaves are getting damage. Can anyone tell me what is happening? They are in my home not outside
Repotted Caz last night and my guy was 90% roots and 10% soil… this pot is just a tad bigger? Previous was 6x6 and this one is like 6x7ish? What size would y’all recommend? This one will work until I can find a decent replacement but he’s looking perkier lately.
What ever happened to the "fair" option when updating plant progress? Like, I have some plants that have stagnated that I wouldn't call "good" or "bad". I wish the "fair" option comes back!
I got a wishlist plant as a tissue culture about a year ago. with a lil love she is finally turning into the Pinterest plant of my dreams 🤩 For those interested- she’s a begonia amphioxus and totally worth the wait - she’s even putting out little flowers if you look closely 🥹
Helped my mum move her plants into leca and moss today! She is so happy with the result 🥰🪴
New here and new to a lot of this. Just bought this Alocasia, I’m very excited. What can I do to ensure she thrives? Will be cleaning the area out around the plant. Just got her.
Anyone else noticing that their plants are suffering with the AC running more? Is that “a thing”?
This baby is NOT ok. I think I want to propagate as much as I can. There are a lot of good nodes. I’ve never propagated a node with no leaves. Would it be best to do them in soil or water? If water, how? I have propagation beakers that I use but I wouldn’t be able to get the nodes out once they root.
This is a Rex begonia right? Lowe’s had it labeled as syngonium.🤷♀️
Getting some variation!
