I want to do a complete redesign to our outdoor flower garden next year. Does anyone have educational resource recommendations? Like a masterclass or YouTube series? Looking to learn about the design principles, best practices, native/natural planting for my region (zone 5), and get some fun ideas. (Pic is from last season)
Today marks National Orchid Day! Let's celebrate by sharing some pictures of those beautiful orchids below š
Can someone explain the fertilization step to me? I think I am throwing my watering schedule off. When I fertilize my plants I use a liquid food. I add water to the pot before adding the food. As a result, when the app tells me itās time to water them, they donāt need to be watered. Am I doing something wrong? Last year I didnāt water when I fed and some of my plants really suffered as a result.
This is the only leaf that is like this. Possible from transport, just got her last weekend. Should I trim off?
hi all, i have a philodendron mican, and epipremnum cebu blue can anyone tell me if these are rooting yet? i see they both have little things going on but they look very different than all my other plants roots that iāve propagated so i wasnāt sure if they were roots or not, the mican has those little thingys futher up as well so i assumed they werenāt roots.
Can anyone tell me what this is? Nursery said it was a philodendron of sortsā¦
Hello everybody I hope all is well I was gifted this plant and have no clue how to take care of it and tips? Also what is the scientific name?
How do I treat the white fuzzy stuff on my VERY old jade?
What is going on?! Is that a mushroom growing in my money tree pot?! Is this ok?
I'm going on vacation for a week and don't have a plant sitter lined up. Anyone have any tips for keeping 40+ houseplants alive while I'm away?? And buying self-warering pots for each one is currently not an option.
Wild Wednesday! Introduce us to your quirkiest, most personalityāfilled plant. š¤Ŗ
Idk if anyone remembers the picture of Pittacus my sensitive plant from last year. Winter time was a TAD bit rough since it was my first and I didnāt have a grow light for most of Winter. Now that itās spring though, he is taking off absolutely LOVING life! š¤š¤š¤
Hi plant people! Iām using a self watering (wick system) pot for the first time with the Moon Valley Pilea I bought at Walmart. It, and the soil, were pretty dry at first. Iāve filled the reservoir about 3 times and itās emptied every time. Now the soil is pretty dampā¦is Marvin that thirsty? Or do I need to not worry about keeping the reservoir filled?
I think i got thrips or gnats? Ive have plants for a couple years but i recently bought a ton since spring here š . I cant tell which plant itās coming from because I have them all on one plant stand as I have a kid and a cat. I also keep them together to help a little bit with the humidity for some of my plants that need high humidity and I know that pests enjoy that. I tried to let the soil dry out completely to avoid this, but we all come across this eventually. I just havenāt dealt with this before now Iām treating with those yellow sticky traps everywhere to get adult adults and now I want to treat the larvae or any babies. Iām going to go to the store today to grab some stuff and I was thinking of some mosquito bits and a spray. What would you recommend recommendations be to help with this so I can go out and buy some products to help them
Would most ppl agree that peperomias are semi succulent as far as watering? And soil should be 50-70% dry before watering? For the 5 or 6 peperomias I have, the care info in planta says to let the top layer dry out. I interpret that as just 1-2ā. What does everyone think??? So double check and do some research. Donāt just rely on this app for your plant care needs Pic for attention š
Do I need to propagate every baby in my Pilea?
What are these dots on my kale and bok choy? I thought they were leaf miners but they aren't the same tubular shape. They're whitish still but with a bit more yellow in them. They were already present, then I sprayed White Oil (veg oil + dawn) and they seemed to spread to the bok.
Bud shots
Okay plant peeps- finally repotting my madagascar dracaena after it put out triplette pups (the beckys) a couple yrs ago and then they ate their parentsššRUDE. It took me a bit but i unknotted the rootsš³. I may have waited too long to repotš. Question 1: should i shorten these roots or just wrap those babies into the new pots and soil? Questuon 2: in the bottom 2 pics you can see how the pup is attached to the side of the base of her top cropped father but has its own long root. Daddio has started to sprout new shoots from the chop, should i leave those 2 together or can i reasonable cut the cord and make her move out?
Do alocasiaās have bulbs? I think I overwatered mine, and I was left with nothing but a stump, that turned mushy. Getting to the bottom (literally) of this plant I came across this. Never dealt with a plant with a bulb before. Roots are white which to me means there might be hope for the plant to bounce backā¦ right??š¬ I just soaked it in a hydrogen peroxide solution bath to kill off any other root rot garbage. Any tips on making the plant bounce back from here?
