Hi! I just purchased a striped calathea a few days ago and I came home today to find all of my leaves curled up. Any idea what causes this? Watered and repotted Saturday morning. No signs of pests. Roots looked good.
Fairly new to plants and appreciate all the help! Thanks!

Give me everything you got, lol.
I've recently gotten into plants a little over a month again and it's been a sure struggle.. well still struggling here. What's you best advice to a beyond beginner getting into the plant world?
So far I've picked some pretty bad specimens to begin with, struggled with humidity, overwatering, you name it. My best plant thus far has been my satin, his name is Herbert (he was a rescue, but at the time I had no idea...)
Here's what's left of my little plant family -
Herbert - the satin
Fred - the calathea
Gerald - the zebra
And our newest brother...
Archibald - the alocasia
Please help me keep them alive ☹️🙏

Recently bought these, they are still in nursery pots but the monstera feels like it should be repot, any advice on when i should repot these three, would it be ok to repot them an inch or two up in pot size? They are all in 4 inch pots thanks in advance!

Can anyone tell me why my golden patho is doing this. It was a start from a friend’s plant.

Thanks for the advice on the last post. I managed to find a grow lamp for the plants. Here’s the set up now

First time here; I received a geranium for Mother’s Day. I would like to repot it and put it on my porch. Any suggestions for a solid type of pot that won’t work against me keeping the plant alive? TIA!

Hello Yall! I haven’t posted or been on this app in a while but to be fair, where I live seasonal depression is common for everyone. Anyway 🥲, I bought my baby monstera a month or so ago and didn’t know what it was but expected for it to be a monstera. I let her get used to my environment and even posted about her here for an identification and some tips!
Problem: I used some seed starter soil today to transplant her to a bigger plant, and then hours later realized it was a dumb idea. I will be looking for coco coir and stuff and transplant her before her next watering.
Any tips or tricks?? I’m thinking she can be a crawler for now. I need her to stay small for a little so I can prepare to move and stuff within the year.
Thank yall in advance!

First plant market of the year went well 😊

PSA to all plant parents, but mostly the beginners:
YOU DO NOT NEED TO FOLLOW PLANTA’S WATERING SCHEDULE 😭😭😭
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR PLANTS FIRST TO SEE IF THEY’RE STILL MOIST/DAMP 💦
In most cases you should not follow it, but instead just use it as a reminder to check on your plants to see if they’re thirsty. I keep seeing people not know that they’re overwatering their plants because they’re following the schedule even though their plants are still wet. And I understand, it literally tells you to do it…but don’t.
Every plant is different. Some like to be damp most of the time, some like to almost dry out, some like to completely dry out, etc. Also your home environment and substrate can cause your plant to dry out slower or faster than others. I wish it was as simple as following an app’s schedule, but in *most* cases it is not.
Sincerely,
A concerned plant friend that doesn’t want your plants to get root rot 👍🏼

Omg I got my first potho thanks to my sister I love it!! I haven’t watered her yet that’s because when I pulled the plastic paper thingy off her that they wrap around the plants to sell the bottom of her pot seemed wet. So I’m wait few days to before I try to water her.

Can my Venus Fly Trap sit in a water pot? i saw something saying it should be in water 24/7 but i'm not sure and it's my first time having one. Something like this but way smaller
