Is this plant dying? I found this plant at my mother’s house and was wondering what it could need.

I'm not sure if spraying a plant with a bottle will damage it. Humidifiers seem quite pricey, and I'm not really looking to buy new decor. If a humidifier is my only option, I don't want to spend over £20 on one, and it would have to be discreet. I have a gold dust croton, not sure if this changes anything. I'm new to this and have no clue what I'm doing. I have a few questions, Will spraying a plant with a bottle damage it? 2. Can a humidifier be purchased for under £20 and still be effective and discreet? 3. How does having a gold dust croton affect the plant care options?

Hello everyone, so I have a beautiful bird of paradise but I keep reading that you should wait for the dirt to dry out completely vs just the first 2-3 inches of the soil. I use a moisture meter and at the very bottom it reads wet, any advice on which is the best way to water? Thank you!

Look at this adorable lamp I found at a local estate sale! So cute! 😊

I bought a spider plant from Lowe’s yesterday and want to repot it! I have never seen so many babies!!! Do you suggest thinning these out from the mother and repotting them? These babies are growing roots like crazy!!

Sister in law had a sad looking monstera that was far too big for the pot it was in. Turns out it was 4 plants in there!

“🎵Sometimes it feels like somebody’s watching me.” I was doing my daily check for pests and blooms. I bent over to get a closer look at some succulents and saw what looked like a coiled snake in a pot. 🐍 It turned out to be the legs of a Southern Leopard Frog. Very showy compared to the other brown frogs in my yard.

I just brought this whale fin home. Is this a baby in the pot?

Why does my begonia have brown tips on its leaves?

Hi! So I got one of those “eco cups” systems as a gift and you’re supposed to be able to grow an orchid tree. I followed the instructions and after about 4 weeks I am seeing this. I can’t find any pictures online of what it SHOULD look like… to me this looks like something else has taken over (mould, fungus?) but I wanted to be sure! Any help appreciated! (The other seed - bottom - is definitely mouldy.)

So I know that bromeliad will only flower once and getting new blooms will require them to give out new offshoots. Mine started growing what might be an offshoot, but by the time I noticed it, it was already almost as big as the original bundle of leaves, rather than ever looking like a separate chick. Does this qualify as a baby?

I was just gifted this cactus! Does anyone know what type this is?

People have been sharing posts of their hoard, so here is mine! Some of them could be happier, but they’re all alive and most are thriving!

What is fertilizer root burn in plants?

Can somebody help me how to contact support for tech questions, not about plant health? I took wrong ssl measurements of my lighting in some areas and don't know how to change it.

My Claudius is so leggy. It constantly grows these big leaves on long stems and they quickly topple over and die. I’ve had it under a couple different grow lights to ensure it gets enough light but it keeps happening. I’m now trying to give it natural light near a south facing window. Any ideas what’s been going on? It’s been months like this ever since I got it

hi! i’m very new to plants, and this may sound like a stupid question, but do i have to put fertilizer in the soil with any plants? i have plant food from back to the roots that i put in, but im just not very knowledgeable on a lot of the care for plants. thank you!!
