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.🤷‍♀️

Hey guys , kinda new to being a plant mom. My grandma got me a plant and Planta just identified it as being a Canna Lily which is supposed to be outside. I’m in an apartment so I can’t plant it in the ground. Can I get a big rectangle planter and it still survives or no ? Thanks guys

Hi everyone! I have a lemon cypress that I had under watered and so some of the branches started to turn brown. I trimmed them off, but I find this is usually the kiss of death for them. Does anyone have any ideas to resurrect it?

I redid my indoor greenhouse garden about 2 weeks ago. My squash has grown so good and very well to where I’m not ready to introduce it to the outdoors yet, but I need a good fertilizer that’s helps all the fruit && vegetables and including the flowers too. The Back To The Roots Organic Potting Mix real deal unalived MY ENTIRE INDOOR GREENHOUSE GARDEN PLANTS. I was devastated but I’m not giving up !! I’m very open to any TIPS, ADVICES && RECOMMENDATIONS 🥰🥰🫶🏾!!

Hello Planta Family! Question about grow lights. I currently have Sansi lights… which my plants love. But I’m thinking about reorganizing my jungle and came across these BamWorld shelves that come with grow lights. Wondering if anybody has these and what your thoughts are on them? They look super convenient and have 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon but sometimes you can’t trust the reviews online.

I am finding conflicting watering instructions for my birds nest fern. The plant nursery where I got it said let it dry out and water approximately every two weeks, Planta says twice a week, conflicting information on Reddit and the web at large. For background, I’m in Houston (hot and humid, she lives indoors and we keep it about 70-75 degrees and 47-50% humidity.) Guidance appreciated!

I was given an African violet rose bouquet a couple months ago and while it’s still alive (no leaves have fallen or rotted off), I’m wondering what I can do to help it grow and bloom. I think a couple tiny leaves have emerged closer to the bottom but I feel like it should have more movement at this point? I’ve never had one before so it’s in indirect bright light and in a double cup (how I got it). I add water when the soil seems dry on top. Any advice?

Ficus Tineke - Deformed new leaves? Help! Hi everyone! I received this beautiful Ficus Tineke as a gift, and I’m dealing with some weird new growth. The first leaf it grew in my care came out fine, but the two leaves that grew after that are deformed (see pictures). I initially checked for thrips (did not find any) but still sprayed with a precautionary mix of neem oil and alcohol. Has anyone experienced this before on their variegated rubber trees? Does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening and how I can stop it? Thanks so much! Here are my current care details: Light: Bright, indirect east light. Watering: I let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Fertilizer: Fertilized 3 weeks ago (about a week before I noticed the deformation on the second leaf).
