Let’s play a game of spot the anthurium seeds🤭

Hello, I’m fairly new to caring for plants. I got the Raven Zz about a week ago and I noticed that it looked like roots popping out the bottom of the pot. Does this mean to repot in a bigger pot?

Hi! New to plants and planta. I have a collection of plants in my sunroom but it gets very cold, as low as in the 40s in that room since it’s not heated like the rest of the house. I imagine this is harmful to my plants. What do I do? Space heater?

To mist or not to mist. Now that is the question. I stopped misting my plants about a month ago when I read that misting is just a temporary/momentary moisture that doesn’t really do anything to help plants. I also read that it helps to create mold and fungus on the plants. I must admit though, I feel a bit weird to keep pressing “skip all” when it’s misting day for plants in this app. I assume that Planta knows more and better than I do on basic plant care; I’m just a beginner. Therefore, they have to recommend it for some reason, right? So, now I’m turning to the community that has an insane amount of knowledge (seriously - y’all are fantastic). Please help guide me - do I mist or nah?

Hello all - my plants were thriving then the winter hit and I had to move them from being near the heater but my windows are near the heater. The are really getting sad and losing a lot of leafs along with dryness even tho I got them a humandfire and water them. I don’t know how to manage. I think they are lacking sun but not sure.

Hello everyone!🎉🥳 I purchased these beauties yesterday. I got paranoid bc I saw some thrips and fungus gnats in some of the other plants at the store so when I got home I got straight to work! I know it’s not recommended to repot plants during the winter but I just had to make sure that they were cleaned and healthy so they could flourish! I took all of their dirt out and cleaned the roots with the shower head, made a diluted mixture of dawn and Luke warm water and soaked the leaves for about 5-10 mins. I then rinsed off the leaves making sure all the water mixture or any insects I couldn’t see were now rinsed off. I scrubbed the pots they were originally in with soap and hot water and used new dirt for both and repotted them in their original pots and then bottom watered both. After all of that I wiped down the leaves with a clean cloth (top and bottom) and then treated them with my need oil. Took about 2 hours😮‍💨 Anywho, I got SO many babies from them and now I’m trying different propagation methods hoping to see some healthy growth! So excited to take care of my plants and so thankful to have so many of you to learn from!💗

I have this spider plant that I propagated from a cutting I was given a few months ago. It hangs about two feet in front of my window and I water it when the soil is about half or almost fully dry. The tips are brown and crispy and it doesn’t seem to have grown much since I planted it. It has had a few babies sprout up but they die soon after growing. Does anyone know how I can help it?

Where can I cut to propagate this plant? This part is starting to lean over and it feels& looks like it might snap

Has anyone had any luck with propagating an umbrella tree? Mine is about 3 years old and is getting super tall and starting to lean. I was thinking about trying to propagate some off the top if it wasn’t too risky.

Does this look like sunburn on my PPP? It was right under my grow light. The tip of the new leaf getting ready to pop is black also.

Something i dont understand, is the domino peace lilys leaves crumpled looking? I see some that have smooth looking leaves and others that have crumpled looking leaves why is that? Is it just the angle of the pictures? Or does the texture change depending on the specific plant

Hello, I’m on a bit of an Alocasia hype at the moment and am so in love with them. Are there any specific types anyone would recommend??

OK my ZZ had a couple branches that were loose so I figured something fell on it and they broke but then I realized that the branches just pulled out of the dirt and are brown and mushy. Any idea what caused this? I’m so sad.🤍🪴

Hey everyone. I’m in Canada and obviously my plants are indoors and it’s winter. My question is this, are you meant to fertilize your house plants during the winter months? Thank you!

I got this Orchid Coarse Soil Amendment mix from Home Depot. Can monsteras survive with just this? It’s a very fast draining soil.

Hello everyone! I have a Petra Croton and for some reason it’s stayed like this for months. No death, no growth nothing! I’ve tried doing a pebble tray for humidity but I don’t think it works (at least for me). Any ideas how to stimulate the growth? Thank you! @sustain_planetearth on ig

Can a snake plant go from growing in soil to growing in water?

I was recently gifted Meyer lemon and limequat trees and I am DESPERATELY trying to make sure I keep them happy. They have a grow light, and are also in a south facing window. I put them in my plant list, but the watering/misting suggestions seem a little crazy. Planta is telling me not to water the Meyer lemon for a month, and not to mist it at all. Is that right? Everything I’ve read says they should be misted almost daily… Any tips for a beginner citrus grower are greatly appreciated!
