Just got my first shipment from Rare Plant Fairy. Received 12 plants, amazingly packaged, that I ordered from one of their auctions on Palm Street. Several of the plants shown are ârevertedâ, meaning they have the potential to put out their original cultivar, but have reverted back to their normal form for now at least.
I got
- 1x Alocasia Frydek Albo variegated (my favorite with the all white leaf)
- 2x Alocasia Frydek Albo variegated, reverted
- 1x Anthuriam andraeanum hybrid, reverted (flowering!)
- 1x Monstera adonsonii variegated, reverted
- 1x Monstera deliciosa Thai Constellation (finally)
- 1x Philodendron Jose Buono
- 1x Philodendron hederaceum variegated heart leaf, reverted
- 1x Syngonium podophyllum Green Splash
- 1x Syngonium podophyllum Aurea
- 1x Syngonium angustatum variegated
- 1x Gymno cactus

Struggling with root rot. I know the signs with mushy roots and stuff but is this the start of root rot? It doesn't easily just rinse off but I'm able to scrape it. First pic is what I'm talking about, second pic is scraping some off and in the second pic, the root on the very left is scraped completely off including the light brown under the darker soil/rot. The black on the roots are not slimy or mushy, it kind of looks like soil/coco coir kind of look (like, it's textured but not in an alarming way). I just think I get too scared of cutting off too many roots and I leave too much infected root when I repot my other plants. (I already cut off any rotting roots with this plant, just wanting some clarify if I need to scrape all this crap off)

If I have a regular common spider on my plant do I need to spray it with neem oil? Itâs probably impossible to see. I donât see signs of stressâŠ

Is there a way to save my air plant?
I was trying to remove a leaf that had dried and the roots came off of the main plant in the process D:
This is my first air plant and Iâm not sure if I can save it now :(

Hey everyone! I want to get some plants for my friend. Lately that is all she has been talking about! The only problem is that she has all north facing windows. Does anyone have any suggestions of plants that thrive there? Thank you in advance!!

Hello! I have this fiddle leaf fig that has not put out new leaves in a very long time. I had seen lots of videos about chopping fiddle leaf figs to promote new growth. Should I chop mine? If so, will it do ok without all its leaves? And where should I chop it? How low? Should I move it back inside? Sheâs been outside for about 2-3 weeks. I havenât seen any change since moving her. Please help, I want her to thrive!

Question for all planty people! đâïžLetâs share our success and failures. How many plants have you all killed, saved, and kept thriving at this point of your plant career? Iâll go first. Iâve killed 5 plants, Iâm attempting to save 2 plants, and so far 7 plants are thriving for me!

I know itâs relative to the plant, but whatâs the average brightness for lights?
Currently running two of these:
LED Plant Growing lamp, 3000K Full Spectrum Grow Light Strips for Indoor Plants with 3/9/12H Timer & 10 Dimmable Levels, Led Growth Light for Green House Hydroponics Succulent
I have this set up, and currently on high for about 10-12 hours, but Iâm afraid to burn them and not bring them back.
While testing, is it easier to heal from starting brighter and dim as needed or dim and brighten as needed?
I have another stand ordered and it will be closer to a window so I can spread these out more!
First time with a âstringâ plant, would LOVE any healthy tips and tricks, got her today and she was overwatered, so immediately reported into more smaller and not as deep of a pot

This is my other shingle plant and it has failed to grow AT ALL since November, and the existing leaves are struggling. Please let me know what I can do to help this plant. Why is my other one growing long vines but this one hasnât grown at all? Very weird as they are located in similar locations.
AJ
I got this plant back in November, and you can see the big healthy leaves from when I bought it. Since then the vine has continued growing but the leaves have been sporadic and very small in size. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

I grabbed this gal from a local nursery yesterday. Got it out of the tiny 2â round pot today but the roots are pretty wet and compressed! It seems pretty solid and doing well, but I donât know much else about them.
Should I let it dry out a bit before repotting it?
Itâs a peperomia dolabriformis

Looking for some advice on my cat palm! I did the diagnosis and it felt it needed new fertilizer. I got a new pot that wasnât wider, but deeper (should have measured) and when I took it out last night I noticed that it was mostly roots? The bottom was very hard and from my research seemed âroot boundâ ? I ended up repotting into this white pot because it was a bit wider.
I am going to get a bigger pot tonight again and Iâm thinking I need to pull apart the roots to give them breath. Looking for any advice on the pot size and process of separating the roots. Should I cut them? Should I separate them? I donât want to disturb the new growth.
Thank you! This community is invaluable to me.
