Sooo, I propagated some of my prayer plant and gave it to a friend. She has had it for a few months but then all of a sudden it has gotten sad. Does anyone have any ideas? the soil is drained well. I gave it some plant food when she brought it back to me as well. Can i still save this plant?
Hey y'all! I have a massive split leaf philodendron and I don't know what to do with it anymore. It's got aerial roots escaping from the pot and has been leaning to the side. Repotting isn't really possible since it's already so big and can barley be moved as it is. Should I cut some of the longer aerial roots? Stake it up with a tree branch? I'm also considering cutting some of the more browned leaves but I don't want her to be too bare and stem-y. And tips on helping her out and looking a bit nicer are appreciated.
Hi! *I’ll post this both here and in the Hydroponics group for spread * I have thus begonia black forest that I am thinking of moving to leca. What does that process look like taking something from soil in semi hydro? Any help or direction to resources would be great, thank you 😊
Question… I’ve looked stuff up a bit but still not sure; can a high humidity plant survive in a bathroom without light all of the time? Would having the bathroom light on help if it’s not a grow light or should the plant be taken out sometimes for natural light? Or should it just stay in the natural light?
Hello! I recently got a string of turtles and I'm unsure what the best media is. I've seen some people recommend potting mix + perlite, and other people recommend succulent/cactus potting mix (with or without added perlite). I've also seen people call this a succulent and other people say it's not a succulent? I know everyone has their preferences but just wanted to see what you all are using for these and what your experience is. Also if anyone could maybe help explain why some people call them succulents and some don't, I'd love to get a better understanding of that too 😅 Pic of my turtles for fun 🙂
I’ve had this Hoya linearis for around two years, repotted terracotta a year ago, she almost died, but now she’s all healed 🤍 I’ll post a pic in the comments of when I first got her 🥲
Does anyone know why philodendrons are so expensive? I’m on the hunt for “the one” for my plant collection, but all I’ve come across are like $35+ for a little one?
I’ve a money plant that is thriving and throwing off lots of baby plants. Should I separate or just put in a bigger pot and keep them all together?
Man that moment when you pass by one of your plant babies and see they are thriving and unfurling new foliage.. COME ON RUBY!!! Do your big one😍😍😍😂😂😂
Sooooo I happen to live in a basement where I get good light for the plants I have! However, as the months get colder I don’t get as much sun down here! What grow lights work best? I have an extra terrarium grow light will that work the same? Do plants need different light bulbs? Sorry for the little rant! I want them to live through the Utah winter!! (Some of my babies included)
Anybody know what this is and if i should do anything about it? Also theres fuzzy white stuff too 💔😭 My plant is basically in perfect health except for brown tips (its prob root bound), so i dont know if i should be concerned. Let me know!
So has anyone been noticing that the sun is changing and are your plants noticing it too? Several of my plants are yellowing (different locations!) and all had been doing so great. The only thing I can think is the days are getting shorter and it might affecting how much light they are getting? Is this crazy talk?
I’m just getting into the succulent side of plants. Not sure what this one is, as different apps are telling me completely different names. Does anyone have an idea of what this is called?
NEW GROWTH 🥰🥰🥹
New leaf on my variegated Bird of Paradise finally opening 🤭😍 Question regarding its variegation: the white parts are extremely thin stripes, almost like “mint” monsteras. Will the variegation continue like this?
My aunt gave me a branch of this Chinese or Japanese lantern plant today. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something so cool before! She said we can plant the seeds from the lanterns. Anyone have any tips?
Repotted about 10 days ago and doesn't seem happy. Wondering if I chose a pot that was too small or if she is just in shock. Several yellow leaves....but there is also new growth. Cut the yellow and wait it out?
Hi my Calathea is growing however she has a lot of brown on edges of her leaves. Even a new leaf has the brown on it. I water her now with distilled water because I read they do not like tap water. I am following the app’s directions however I am reaching out for human advice. Thank you!
So this year I’ve been having these things grow everywhere on my mulch beds and in the grass area in front of our sidewalk (not our lawn). I googled it and it’s a weed called Common Purslane? What are these things really? Why are they growing everywhere all of the sudden and what do I even do with them??? They’re not ugly like regular weeds. I just don’t know why they’re here and what to do! Thanksssss!
Hello! this is the first plant i’ve ever gotten it did not have tags so if anyone knows what plant this is please let me know! she was thriving until i repotted becuase the soil was not well draining and the plant was drowning. but since then it only seems to be getting worse, yellowing leaves and wilting leaves help!
