Have tried to use Dr Planta to diagnose this but I’m not sure I’m getting the right answers. I only got this little one recently but it’s lost about 40% of its leaves, all from around the bottom - first it was too dry and the leaves wilted, now it seems too wet as the leaves are breaking at mushy bits at the base and top of the stem. Still looks ok from the top but the leaves are dropping pretty quickly. Looks like it might be in normal potting mix - should I change that? Or maybe put something on the top of the soil to stop the stems sitting on damp soil? Thanks!

Plant Mommies and Daddies! I finally found the rubber tree I’ve been looking for! A Tineke 🥹 with beautiful cream and green leaves with a touch of pink! She was a bit expensive though ($90 total), but I’m so happy!! 💚✨🪴

Any tips on my VFT? There are two plants. I think one is dead. It caught a few flies, but the mouths didn’t shut. It also looks like I have two new ones coming in. It stayed outside on the front porch most of the summer. I’m worried she got too hot.

Check out the roots on my alocasia dragon scale!!! I wanted to transfer from soil to semi-hydro but now I’m not so sure. Any tips?

Veronica likes her new spot in front of the house in our yoga room 🧘🏻‍♀️ She just wasn’t getting enough ☀️ sunlight by our back windows.

What’s your course of action if one of your plants fall off a shelf? I stomped on a spider today and one of my plants bit the dust.

Update to my post two weeks ago. Finally received my baby succulents and I wasted no time in getting them planted and watered in their new home.

Can you propagate a snake plant without using an entire long leaf? What is the smallest length of leaf you can propogate

This may be a dumb question, but I’ll ask it anyway. When a plant is planted in a plastic pot, but it’s in a ceramic cover pot, do you tell Planta it’s in a plastic pot or a ceramic pot?

I have this fish tank set up to be a bog for some (mostly carnivorous) native plants, however I’m waiting on the plants still. In the meantime the sphagnum moss I used in here has come back to life, and now there’s also a ton of small plants growing in there. Does anybody have any ideas what these “weeds” growing in here are? Also if anybody has recommendations to get the old white staining off the glass that won’t ruin the silicone on the edge, I’ve tried scrubbing with terrarium cleaners from the pet store.

Hey guys! I was just curious if it’s possible to eat the ornamental pepper plants sold at nurseries? I recently bought two and was wondering if they were safe to eat :)

I got this Philodendron Paraiso Verde from a nursery (she's out of quarantine finally) 💫 No obvious issues other than, she cannot stand up in a pot & I'm pretty sure she was growing sideways with these roots all crazy looking lol What should my next steps be?
