Just noticed this on the bottom of my rubber plant. It’s not on every leaf but on some. Is this bad?? And the new leaf coming in is bumpy and it’s never looked like that before. Normally it’s been smooth.

this jade plant has not been doing great, i watered it a few weeks ago before leaving for a trip, so to make sure it would be okay, but i think it got overwatered because the leaves are very squishy and turning a darker colour, any advice on how to maybe save that plant?

In Texas we have a rose called Double Knock Out. It’s not listed in the plant data base so can it be added?

I live in Missouri, this is my first time to winter my plants. Most of them survived. When do I begin setting them back outside and how? Thanks

Recommendations for getting this corn plant back to a manageable size? It’ll likely be moved to a room without high ceilings. It is too top heavy anyways. Pot is about 1 foot deep.

hi all! pictured is my semi-regular (especially in the winter, if we get a sunny day) sunshine bath for all my indoor guys who get bright but indirect light. does anyone else do this, and what are your tips if so? i just kinda leave them out there all misted up to prevent them from getting too dry, then take them inside when i notice they start to look a little baked. i’ve noticed they perk up and sometimes the ZZ plants sprout new sprigs after!

Recommendations needed!! My mom had this plant (I believe it’s a dragon tree) and completely neglected it for almost a year. She gave it to me to try to revive it, so I gave it fresh soil as the old soil was molding. My cats got to it and chewed most of the leaves that were still healthy or just sprouting, so it looks really rough! I’m wondering if I should just trim the chewed leaves and keep waiting to see what happens, or if I should clip the stem and propagate/start over? I’m fairly new to owning plants and I’ve certainly not tried to revive one! Also, my cats are fine🤪

Hi! Phil here has started to get pretty leggy at the bottom. Is there anything I can do to make him less leggy? Should I clip off the leggy bits to propagate? Any advice is appreciated!

How many of you, whenever you water, use liquid fertilizer?

I have two different types of elephant ears: Black Coral and Maui Gold. How do you guys take care of them? I am seeing mixed things about both the types. I know they don’t like to be watered a lot. This site says water them once a week or every 5 days. How big of a pot do you plant them in? Is it an inch bigger or 1/2 an inch? What? Do they like to be in sunlight? Direct? Shade? This site said they like partial sun/shade and they like the temp to be 59-90 degrees. Any information and advice helps! TIA!

Any advice on how to turn this offshoot (Little Sharon) into a strong plant? Shes struggling. Idk what will help her. She is in a solo cup with holes, miracle grow potting soil, covered back porch, east facing diffused light. I didn’t dip in growth hormone, as suggested on Google.

Anyone know if you can remove the automatic timer on plant lights?

Putting this in water was my best decision so far. I had no growth for 3 months

I have a Ficus Altissima(?), and I’m anxious about what I need to do next to keep it healthy and growing. History - 3 years old, came in a 6” planter, and has never been repotted; roots haven’t come out of the bottom. - 1 year ago, the top snapped off in a freak accident along with a few leaves attached.Since then, shoots have sprouted from the main stem in multiple directions - It’s now ~3 feet tall, still in a 6” pot. The main stem doesn't seem to be getting much thicker, even though it's getting taller. It's leaning to the side due its height and the top-heavy imbalanced offshoots. Questions - Given my repotting neglect and the the additional sprouts at the top: - Should I repot in an 8” or go bigger? How aggressively do I need to untangle the roots for this kind of plant after 3 years without repotting? - Should I try to propagate with cuttings from the top of the plant to reduce the risk of the entire plant getting sick(?) if I repot it poorly? - Should I tie it to a stick to keep it from leaning too much? Thanks in advance!

My Alocasia is beautiful but every leaf has a brown tip. What am I doing wrong?
