I’ve had this little guy for a while, but it didn’t come with anything telling me what kind of plant it is! Can anyone help me out?

The cashier at a nursery once told me not to fertilize my indoor plants during the winter months. Is this a thing?? I live in ND so winter is basically Oct-April. I have grow lights on every day through the winter. Many of them have been shedding leaves but growing back a little more full with fertilizing so I don’t really want to stop!! But also want to give them a rest if they need it??

Is this a dwarf fiddle leaf fig? And does anyone know why it has brown spots, is this normal?

also as i sit here and admire all my plants, are these roots still too small to put into soil? i propped my coffee plant so i can give my best friend a house warming gift and im getting so impatient 😅

kind of a random post but thoughts on this giant aloe? i do think i need to add more soil to the pot but i cannot figure out why the leaves are so droopy? i have only watered her twice since the beginning of november and i was watering about once a month in the warmer seasons. do the leaves just get so big they fall like this? also the leaves are firm and there is newer growth in the middle (but has slowed dramatically since i live in Pennsylvania and the sun hasn’t shined consistently in weeks) i feel like the base looks rotted but it’s been this way since my bf almost killed it 2 years ago and it only gets repotted in July and at the time the roots looked great. i hate this plant but my bf loves it so i try to keep it happy but i don’t love the way it looks right now 😂

I’ve had this lemon lime philodendron for about two weeks now, and it has a lot of new growth but the leaves don’t seem to be unfurling. It has been under a grow light, about maybe 8 inches from it and slightly to the side. Does anyone know if there’s something wrong with it or does it just take that long for the leaves to unfurl?

Can we talk soil mix? I think it’s really important. Especially if you want your plants to thrive! With spring quickly approaching Planta is sure to start recommending to repot all of your plants. 😂 And it’s the season for fungus gnats! 😩😂 The next time you repot, consider what soil mix is best for your plants. I’m an overwaterer so I prefer a chunky airy mix. (Otherwise known as an aroid mix.) Now this is more then just adding some bark to a bag of soil. The problem with that is both of these materials retain moisture. 🤔 The last thing anyone wants is fungus gnats! Personally I like to use a combination of bark, coco chips and or coconut husks along with some CHUNKY perlite, CHUNKY horticulture charcoal and even some limestone. It should be airy and fast draining. Trust me, I was once that plant parent that thought unamended bag soil was good enough. 🤫 But honestly their soil mix is nothing like what the plant would be getting in its natural environment. 👎🏽 In it’s natural environment there’d be a mixture of soil, bark, tree branches and even rock! (Depending on the plant of course) If you are an overwaterer like me or having a hard time with pests like fungus gnats that are drawn to moist soil, do yourself a favor and check out the ton of videos on YouTube on DIY soil or check out the tutorial on Plants (the one thing I’d add is horticultural charcoal 😊). I promise, your plants will thank you for it! 🪴🪴🪴 In the meantime, what type soil mix do you use? What type of amendments do you add? Do you make your own or purchase it? Attached is a picture of my chunky mix. And a picture of a mix I purchase from BWH when I don’t want to make my own. Happy planting! 😊🪴

One of my team members just gave me a cup and look at the sticker she put on it. Someone must have designed it just for me.

There are suddenly adds on this app now?! What gives?! This is a paid app. I don’t mind a market feature, but not one that has adds in my daily plant to do list. I want these adds removed. How can I opt out of this?

Hello! This is my Calathea Freddie. The first few months of having her was a breeze, she was thriving and putting out new growth constantly. Everything was healthy and she was happy. However, for some reason, a couple months ago she started to put out less growth and all the leaves would shrivel or brown. I water her when needed, mist constantly, have her on a pebble tray (she loves it, soaks up all the moisture), and she’s under a grow light. How do I prevent the leaves from browning like this?

Hi friends! Could anyone help me with this plant? It needs some major TLC and I’m clueless!
