An update on my xanadu cuttings :) I decided to cut the trunk down to about an inch, and I am testing out one growth in vermiculite and another in perlite. Now I will impatiently await some root growthš Please leave any advice or suggestions in the comments!! I donāt have much propagation experience
I am so pleased with my new plant.
Has anyone used a grow light before? Does it actually work / is it good for your plants? Any information or feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Hey plant mommies/daddies! New plant mom here and wanted to see if anyone knew what is going on with my Silver Inch plant. It seems like from the top to bottom, the stem is hollow and a dry up leaf is in there. Not sure how this happened but she still growing out of the side, just not upwards. Any tips/suggestions?
Does anyone know what flower this is?
Does anyone know what this plant is? It has curly leaves. I think itās a philodendron of sorts? It dropped its big old leaves and now I have new regrowth. Thank you!!
Why does my plant look sad, I watered it around 5 days ago and leave it in the sun for a few hours and then take it out for a few hours. Does it maybe need more sun?
Letās talk bottom watering. What exactly is it? It allows plants to absorb water from the bottom up when your pot (with drainage holes) is placed into a water tray. Pros: * plants take what water they need, and leave the rest. Preventing overwatering/underwatering. * consistent moisture throughout the soil. You can have dry spots with top watering. * less mess (splashing). But that in theory. I tend to make messes during plant care, no matter how careful I try to be. * prevents pests. You arenāt leaving sopping wet top soil for fungus gnats to lay their eggs in. * low cost on supplies. Plastic water trays are around $1-2 at any BBS. Cons: * build-up of minerals in your soil (top watering washes them out). Prevention pointers: top water occasional. Donāt use tap water. ~~All to say, itās personal preference. At the end of the day, crops, trees, and other plant life take water from rain, and it works for them!
So My Poor Lovely Marigolds Have Passed Away š„ŗ But Not Before Momma Marigold Gave Birth To A Quite A Few New Babies & Leaves š„¹. Her Babies Werenāt Doing To Well In The Big Pot So I Put Them Back In A Nursery Pot With Fresh Drier Soil As Theyāre Old Pot Was Retaining To Much Water, & Had A Few Pests. I Made Sure To Clean Off Her Roots, Disinfect Her Roots & Clean Her Leaves To Make Sure All Of The Pests And Their Eggs Are Gone. I Think She Will Do Good Back In Her Nursery Pot Until She Blooms Up Again. Her Roots Are Quite Thick & Strong So I Have Hope For Her. I Didnāt Give Her Water Again Because I Didnāt Want To Overwater Her As She Was Watered Just A Few Days Ago & I Donāt Want To Shock Her Too Much. She Will Come Inside Once It Starts Getting Dark. Itās 70 & Not Very Sunny But Warm Outside Where I Live So I Donāt Feel Like She Will Need To Go Under The Grow Lamp Once It Gets Dark. But Do Any Of My Plant Friends Have Any Suggestions??
Hi friends! My sister said this plant was apparently diseased but Iām unsure if it actually is. I also donāt know the type of plant this is, and how to care for it. Thanks.
Iām like 90% sure that this is a Calathea Freddie but I have no idea honestly
Where are my money tree owners at?? Anyone think the water cycle the app has for Money Trees is WAY off?? Mine is saying water once every like 18-20 days. But like theyāre already dried out after watering them a few days ago. Thoughts?
Anyone know what kind of plant this is? Got it from Target and the label said Monstera but that doesnāt seem right. Thanks in advance for the help!
so my husband just got home with these gifts š©µ. they are in the closet for now. any tips? thanks š«¶š»
My nerve plant is wilting! I looked it up and it suggested more water so I gave it water 6 days ago and itās still wilting. Itās by an east facing window, has a humidifier, and is surrounded by other humid loving plants. The soil is still moist. It hasnāt perked up and Iām scared if I water again itāll cause root rot. HELP.
Got three new plants today! Snow Queen Pothos, Swiss Cheese plant and a Silver Satin Philodendron! Just had to share.
I just got a himalayamix peperomia tonight and donāt know what to expect! I have been looking at other peperomias and depending on the type, certain care steps are taken. The plant isnāt on here, so any guidance/tips are welcomed! š
Is there an easy way to find posts that you have created in the past?
I got this swiss cheese plant about two weeks ago and have had it under a grow light since. I changed the soil when I first got it but kept it in its nursery pot. Some of the leaves seem to be yellowing around the edges and new growth stays small and eventually turns yellow and then crispy brown. It also has some crunchy brown tips on some of the leaves. Can anyone tell me what to do in order to keep it happy?
**For starters, I am still a novice plant parent** So, I take care of an elderly woman who is unable to care for her plants, and she had this massive (and overgrown) I believe split leaf philodendron? I want to be able to clean it up for her and getting back to looking neat, and wanted some advice on what the best way to do this is! It branches off into two different directions, and she let me take a cutting of what was the third branch home with me! So, now is my next question ā how should I properly propagate this guy? Should I let it callous over for a day, should I leave it in water for a bit, should I plant it? Should I cut the stem from the base of the new growth entirely? It has very long aerial roots hanging off, only one of which actually found its way into the dirt. I was going to trim the ends which seemed a bit too soft and try placing the tips in water, but I didnt want to do anything that would mess it up. Thanks in advance for any advice!
