Hi! I’ve had this plant since it was tiny. It’s now grown this one stem that’s super tall and top heavy. My question is do I leave it, add support, or chop? Any advice is appreciated!

Can anyone advise why my snake plant has grown a new leaf that’s superseded the original plant and why there’s a random thing green thing growing in the pot? The new tiny “plant” is thin enough to wave from the breeze from my ceiling fan. It doesn’t look like a snake plant. And the main plant that has 3 leaves hasn’t really grown since I got it in April but now has grown another leaf that’s about 5 inches taller a than the original plant 😅

I live in Arizona and would like to plant some fruit trees in my backyard. Any suggestion for the best type of orange tree?

Returning from Long Travel + Plantsitting— What Do You Do? Ok y’all— my plants need some TLC, some of them need to be outright resuscitated, and I am setting aside all day Saturday to bring them back to life once and for all. (As much as one can anyway 😅🌱) Here’s the list of plants, problems, and what I believe the solutions might be: #1: The Roman Empire (monstera deliciosa my beloved)— I’ve had this poor child for almost a year and she’s been struggling for over half of it. Lower leaves are curling and drooping, yellow and eventually brown discoloration in many parts of the leaves, and has appeared for a while to be infested with mealybugs or some kind of pest along those lines. A couple leaves are doing fantastic (there’s a baby leaf with signs of some beautiful fenestration unfolding as we speak). I think it’s time to chop and prop but I’m scared she won’t bounce back if I do it wrong. I’ve tried neem oil and repotted once with all new dirt, rinsed off the roots and they looked fine, and have yet to give the poor little one a moss pole because I don’t want that to also be infestable material. Thoughts? Can she be saved? 🏛️⚔️🐴 #2: Byzantium (boston fern)— this poor guy. This poor poor little guy. I left him at my apartment over the summer and had several people rotate watering responsibilities, but naturally this was not a thriving time for him since there were some irregular intervals between waterings. Mold in the top of the soil, leaves are looking a little crispy and brown. I think the solution here is repot and make sure I reset his water regimen so he’s not being traumatized in either direction. 👑🌴🎨Please correct me though if i’m wrong because I very well might be lol #3: Truth, Justice and the American Way (tradescantia my beloved)— he’s mostly ok but very tall with a lot of leaves partially dried out, for the same reasons as the others. ^ His soil looks fine, he’s just unsightly at the moment. 🔮🪁🐍 Remove the brown leaves, chop and prop to fill him out more? #4: Juliet (golden pothos my poor tragic beauty)— I’ll cut to the chase, her dirt is MOLDY. And she’s lost a lot of leaves to underwatering-related crispiness. It’s been a hard time for miss juliet. Is there a mold solution that doesn’t require all new dirt? 💎🐠🌊 I know that’s a lot, so thanks for reading this far! How have you handled returning from travel and resuscitating neglected plants? Did you ever feel like your plants fully recovered? (Did they forgive you 👀)

Variegation or no? This is my elephant ear plant that recently sprouted again thankfully. It was in very direct Texas sun which caused it to die. (Ik shame on me 😬) But the new leaf sprouted whitestripes. What do y’all think?

I think this is a watermelon money plant ? Correct me if I’m wrong … but it is my favorite plant right now because I’ve successfully propagated it and it’s been sprouting lots of babies since I moved it into soil 🥰 my concern is there are like 10 fruit flies in the soil at all times :( I’ve been spraying it with neem oil but it hasn’t helped . Any tips or tricks ? Thanks in advance 😁

Thai Con mavens.. need opinions please. This is what remains of my TC.. leaves rotted at the base. I have cut all the bad roots off and wondering if there’s any chance to salvage it.. if so, how?? Prop box it? TIA (It kinda looks like an alien or scary bug)

Hi everyone, this is my first pink quill and it looks like I’ve got some new growth! Should I cut off the old flower so it can focus on its new growth or just leave it? If it’s recommended I cut it off, should I cut it at the top or the base? Thanks in advance for everyone’s help!

There are a few brown tips on my spider plant, but I also noticed a few of these that look semi-cut. Did I do that by accident?! Or is this a pest?

Saw this GORGEOUS Peperomia while out in the store, reminded me of what my past plant Barry would look like with loads of leaves, but got a little cactus instead! Welcome Larry to the family! (couldn’t resist getting matching Cactuses with my best friend!) might get a new plant Everytime I go into the store lmao

When do I start taking care of my plants outdoors for fall and getting ready for winter. I’m in Asheboro, NC. I’m also disabled and I move slowly. I have a blueberry bush, a dwarf weeping willow, and a milkweed all in pots. Then I have a butterfly bush, azalea, morning glories, millennium garlics.

Can someone help me identify these plants that seem to thrive everywhere around me, I want one but have no clue what it's called 😭 they just grow strait out of ground, and how can I get it out of the ground safely and grow it?

This guy is growing two flowers! I haven’t done much research on this plant..so I honestly had no idea it had flowers lol🤣 but now the bottom leaves are starting to droop and die off. Is this normal?
