You’ll have to excuse my reference, but does anyone have a clue to what plant this leaf could be from?

Meet: Apollo, my Monstera Adansonii. I hope he survives the cloning - and the kids. We're supposed to be propagating plantlets from cuttings today! I don't believe any of the kids have done it, but I picked an easier plant (Apollo). I'm really excited for today, and so are the kids considering I started the conversation with "have you guys ever cloned a plant before?" I hope this helps them be kinder to creatures because we'll have to be regularly taking care of the cuttings for the plantlets to grow (making sure they're getting the right sun, temperature, changing water regularly etc.). I told them they're going to have to be responsible and kind to Apollo as well as kind to the cuttings because if you hurt them or stop caring for them, they can't grow. I told them "it's like a pet, but they don't poop in the house" lmao P.S. he's called that because he's holey

Look at the tent getting full again😅… Can you guess each plant on each shelf? ( Left - Right)

Help! I was recently gifted a heart fern for Valentine’s Day. When I got the plant, it was so full. I left work on Friday and it looked fine, but when I came back on Tuesday it had shriveled. I think there was too much light and not enough humidity in my office. Most of the leaves have shriveled and died. My three remaining leaves are starting to shrivel at the edges. What can I do to bring it back or help it grow again? Or will my plant ever grow back to how it was? I added a photo of what it looked like when I brought it home from my office.

Hi! Question: Has anyone else tried propping a monstera albo on a moss pole? My plan is to make cuttings along each node but keep it on the pole still as each growth point activates and creates new growth. Is this possible? Or would it just be quicker to remove it from the pole and put them separately?

Wishful Wednesday- What is your number one wish list plant, the one you dream of adding to your collection? 💚

I had to chop this dragon tree a few weeks ago, is the new growth at the bottom of the trunk going to be aerial roots or leaves?

Any plants you regret getting? I have quite a few, but #1 has to be pilea peperomiodes. I do like it no doubt, not my favorite to grow though.

So here is my money tree that I’m trying to keep alive I’ve cut back the top and pruned it and getting some new shoots but this one brown branch is kinda soft, I’m wondering if it’s supposed to be soft and wrinkled Thank you for the advice ❤️

Planta tells me to fertilize. Thought you weren't supposed to in winter.

My mom shared this poem with me written by my great great aunt; a love of plants and flowers runs in the family 💚 To a Maidenhair Fern Far from the drip, drip of spring water Seeping into the mat of leaf mold about your feet, Do you resent the lapse of years Since you green in lush mosaic Against the cold grey stones of old St. Augustine? I found you there, my maidenhair, at Fort Marian I love you; brought you captive to the North. You grow for me in the light of my bay window Light mellowed by sheer curtains Gives a translucence to your scalloped leaves, which hand on fragile, ebony stems. You live in a (unreadable) I give you cool drinks, you love them. It reminds you of the springs in your early Florida home. You love damp leaf mold too, In which your roots mat and sent up tiny fiddlebows which unfold into tender (unreadable) of green. You love one opal immmoveable So you may spread out your lacy leaves. You resent caresses I know all your eccentrenticies, my maiden-hair, We have been lovers so long You have been with me in happiness; in tears. I have torn and divided you; given you to strangers and friends. But neglected you - never! I would not like life apart from you. W.M. P. ‘50

Update, they're alive and it appears the pests are gone after treatment.

Well, I’ve just encountered my first infestation. I have what I believe are spider mites on my Lucky Lady plant. I put on some cotton gloves, wet them, then wiped down each leaf, trying to physically destroy as many as possible. Then I sprayed it thoroughly with a 50/50 alcohol water solution. I’m getting some neem oil today. Any other ideas or recommendations?

Repotting- why does the planter app this week say almost every plant in my collection needs to be repotted? Is it the time of year or is it just some process in the app? What’s realistic for repotting?

All my Wet Plants have been treated with cinnamon and diluted soap water. I hope they do alright with it. Fingers crossed.

Looking for plant recommendations! I'm in an apartment in zone 7a (Southern New Jersey). I can't plant things in the ground, so I want to have a cute little container garden this year. I love having plants on my porch but honestly I forget to water them and then I feel bad that they're not doing well. So! I need all your best recommendation for extremely drought tolerant plants for zone 7a that will do well in planters, especially if they are beginner friendly
