This might be a dumb question, but when the Planta app tells me to fertilize…. I’ve just been squirting this in the soil. Am I supposed to be watering AND fertilizing? I’ve only been watering when it says “water.” Thanks for helping a newbie.

Hey plant friends! I’m wondering if it’s time to repot my ZZ plant. It’s growing well and has a few new shoots coming in (which is exciting!), but I want to make sure it has enough space to thrive. I’ve attached a picture. do you think it looks root-bound or ready for a bigger pot? Any advice on when and how to repot would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Prep for my first plant swap! I'm bringing a bunch of props I had on hand! Anyone have tips for swaps?
Got a new leaf on my calathea! So proud 🥲 It’s the shiny one towards the top! Also, I have a question regarding the other leaves. Does anyone know what those white specks are? They almost look like water spots dried on the leaves but I don’t let water dry on them ever

My Mango plant has 2 leaves turning brown. Repotted 2 months ago. Gets watered every 7 days. I checked the moisture with a meter, it’s in a fair range. Ideas?
Aloe Vera and Snake Plant Care: Beginner Questions Hi! I have a snake plant and an aloe vera plant—one is my mom’s that I’m trying to save, and the other I bought from Walmart. I read that snake plants are succulents like aloe vera, so I used Miracle-Gro liquid fertilizer and cactus & succulent soil to repot them. I also checked for root rot, and they both seemed fine. I have a few concerns and questions: 1. Watering Confusion – Everything says to water when the top inch of soil is dry, but that seems too often. I did that for my aloe vera, and it started browning, so I stopped watering it. Now it’s been weeks since I watered, and it looks the same but droopy. How do I correctly determine when to water both plants? 2. Fertilizing – I used the Miracle-Gro liquid fertilizer but wasn’t sure if I did it right. I mixed some with water based on the instructions, but I feel like the amount should depend on how much water I use. How do I properly dilute and apply it? 3. Pot Size & Cramping – I read that snake plants like to be cramped, so I left it in its original pot. My aloe vera is in a steep pot, which I read they like, but I’m unsure if it’s too big, which might be causing overwatering. Could this be affecting its health? 4. General Aloe Vera Health – My snake plant is still green and has pointy spots at the top, which I read is a sign of health and growth. But I’m wondering if I'm doing something is wrong. I've done some research and watched videos, but I’d love to hear from someone with hands-on experience to make sure I’m on the right track. Also, apologies for the repeated question and not spaced out text, this is my first time making a post and it is very weird on my phone making one. 1.

Should I be concerned? I repotted him but even before his owner stems had been much droopier than the top. Is this just normal and I will see the lower stems and leaves die off at some point?
Why is my money plant so bare? I have had it for over a year and even though it seems happy, the trunks are still very frail and it hasn’t filled out. Any suggestions/advice?
what has happened to my potting soil?
Not sure what I doing wrong with this spider plant. Can someone tell me why my plant looks like this? Thank you!
I have a couple houseplants and I’m wondering if I can put them outside in a few weeks while it gets warmer. I have a peace lily, 2 calatheas, 3 Chinese evergreens, a money tree, nerve plant and a prince of orange philodendron. I’m fairly new to plants so I’m worried that putting them outside might cause them to get pests
I wish there was a group about airplants! But I'll just share here. They are super unique and I've had a couple of these for almost 4 years now. Theses are all more of a desert variety hence the grayish leaves. I had a couple tropical ones(dark green and shiny leaves) But they didn't do well in texas. These have thrived though! The Medusas Head on the right is actually a pup of the first one i got!
Just curious what do you think the long growth is at the ends of the leaves.
Chat how do I delete a plant I made, I was trying to test it out cuz I start next week but I azzidently added it.
Any Canadians here order plants from the US? Is it just straight forward ordering and receiving or do I have to get a permit and go through other stuff? Wondering cause I’d like to order a rhizome from Etsy from a US seller. Seller says they sell and ship to Canadians and I don’t have to do anything but web search says I have to get permits. Wondering if anyone orders from the US to Canada. Thank you
