Hi everyone! I’m fairly new to plant ownership, less than a year. I discovered spider mites 2 weeks ago on my plumeria, I moved him to a secluded area and thought I treated him well. He still has spider mites today :( I sprayed his leaves with water and sprayed him with neem oil. Today, I treated him again, decided to take a closer look at my other plants and omg…. I found multiple plants with aphids AND spider mites. I am in complete shambles. I need any and all advice. I don’t have the room to quarantine ALL my plants, they are all touching each other or in close proximity.

Hello all,
Went to a new plant shop and they had this iresine plant on clearance and couldn’t miss up the opportunity.
Anybody have any tips/plant care for these? Planta says they are “advanced” plants.
Thanks☺️

It is July 29th and my growing season is over.
The sun hits these plants after 1PM and the sun is gone by 5PM.
- BREAKING NEWS -
We interrupt this weird guy’s post with information about the pepper plant.
According to news sources, as the weird guy was typing out this post, his neighbor several doors down was walking towards him. His neighbor said “Nice looking pepper.” and the weird guy replied “Thanks. Someone put this pepper on my stoop back in the spring. It was in a tiny dehydrated cup.”
The neighbor of the weird guy says “Wait. You didn’t buy that? Because I thought I lost it or left a pepper plant…” said together, “…Lowe’s.”
To which the weird guy replied:
- Well, there you go. I raised your pepper orphan all summer. And you just walked on by one of your own. Take it before I cry. -
Mystery solved of the pepper plant orphan left on the weird guys front stoop.
Now back to something about sun light.
- RETURN -
So with less sun on my street I wonder if adding mirrors on everyone’s homes would bounce the sun onto the plants. Hmmm 🤔

Might be a silly question but is there a particularly good way of dusting plants without damaging the leaves, or am I okay to use a standard dusting cloth? Thaaanks! 🤩

My favorite plants get the spot on the stools 🙈🤍✨

Was just surprised by my parents at one of the local grocery stores today!
They bought me two random plants that they liked but I had no idea they were even there or what they were.
I’m now the proud owner of a Money tree(actually 5 trees), and an unknown species of ZZ plant.
I never thought I’d wind up with the likes of those plants! Especially from my parents or a local grocery store! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good morning, Plant Co-Parents! 🥰🌿
Just wanted to share my Pencil Plant (Euphorbia tirucalli), also known as the Pencil Cactus or Milk Bush, and its one-month growth. It’s amazing how much change can happen in just a few weeks. Every tiny leaf feels like a little victory! 💚✨
This plant started as a few cuttings from my mom. 🥹🥰 I planted the other cuttings directly outside, but they didn’t survive the summer heat. 🥵This was the only one that made it, so seeing it thrive now makes it even more special. 🌱💚

So happy! My new plants have arrived and my Chinese money plant has some little pups!
I’m welcoming any advice of how to encourage them to grow and then propagatethem too! So happy I got 3 for the price of one🤣

What should I do with my silver sword to make it happier and mature to split leaves?
The first foot of stem is completely bare, which does not look pretty or too supportive!
Thanks!

Just a few of my children + a bioactive crestie terrarium 🤍

Has anyone ever tried to grow keep fargesia bamboo inside? Almost everywhere I’ve seen it as an outdoor plant.

😱 my spider plant is only a few months old & has pups growing already! I just wish my Bonnie would do the same! I can’t believe how small it is & having pups! I can see my son now asking me to remove it from the bathroom like he did when my other had pups, apparently they get too big

Hey guys!! I got these two plants from Lotte’s Supermarket for $5 each!! I’m sure the one below is a White Princess Philodendron (according to chat GPT) but it’s saying the (circled) one is a Variegated Croton but I haven’t seen one like this that I’ve purchased! Can anyone let me know what I have!

Hello, I made the mistake of planting four o'clocks in an uncontrolled area of my yard. I've been fighting them every year since, trying to get rid of them. They are very aggressive.
I pull the tiny seedlings as soon as they come up, never let them go to seed, and I've discovered they have a very large root system.
How do I get rid of them? I'm thinking about slicing the largest roots in several places and coating each cut with Roundup. Has anyone tried that, or are there more effective ways to kill them?
Thanks in advance!

Anyone ever grown water lilies inside? I want to give it a try but I could use some tips.

Just got this Rubber Tree. Just wondering if it’s normal for this leaf to stand straight up lol
