Thinking about a question a fellow Planta user asked a few weeks back, about how those of us with large collections manage it without getting overwhelmed. Am realizing I have learned to not procrastinate the small stuff that I see needs done. When I started getting overwhelmed in the past, I was feeling like everywhere I looked there was something that needed to be done⊠That plant needs some soil topped off, i gotta make more fertilizer water, that plant needs to be trimmed and pruned, that plant needs its leaves cleaned, ooo i gotta move that plant cause its getting too much or too little sun, etc etc. I started making a list in my head and had so many things on it⊠it starting getting overwhelming. So i started just doing each thing as I discovered it, immediately, rather than waiting, and found most things only took a minute or two to do, and made me feel way less overwhelmed. Also since you canât make to do lists on the planta app with a lot of those little things, its too hard to remember those little things as you are watering. So anyway, take action and be done! No more procrastinating! Your plants will thank you. đżđ

This tuberous begonia is thriving in my outdoor hanging planter, but sheâs starting to look a little leggy. Should I prune her back? Iâve never had one get this big outside⊠TIA!

Playing around with the arrangement of these beauties with some help from yaâll and trying to learn and care for them, but itâs such a cozy little space for me, my husband and the pups⊠Especially at night! I am in love. đđȘŽđș

Got two new babies from Walmart Yesterday, A lucky Bamboo and a Xanthoma.âșïž The Xanthoma looks kind of unhealthy and the soil was dry whenever I bought her. I was wondering if anyone knows whatâs wrong with her leaves? Or any other issues present? Im going to repot her later today to hopefully helpđđ»đȘŽ The bamboo plant is in this pot with glued in rocks. Iâm going to try to get the rocks out today, then going to repot afterwards so any tips for that are definitely needed. It also has some brown spots on the leaves and Iâm hoping someone will know what that is? đ Any advice is very appreciatedđ

Iâm moving, and guess what Iâm concerned with? So many plants. I was so concerned that I made âsouth facingâ a priority when looking for new spots. I even went out to a spot before signing a lease and looked at the light situation in the evening to make sure the plants are fine but Iâm not roasting at night. This whole âSouth Windowâ area will be contained in a 5â x 3â spot in my new living room. Right? Right. Some older photos show the evolution. This spot was Lithops ground 0. RIP âSOUTH WINDOW.â

I would LOVE advice / suggestions for my new plant stand. (See photo) Iâm noticing water spots (white spots) on leaves of the Pilea and Monstera on the shelf above the small humidifier. A ) how can I safely remove the water spots? Iâve used a saturated micro fiber cloth with decent pressure and theyâre still there, but less visible. B ) is there a more effective way to position these plants in relation to the humidifier to keep them hydrated but not too close to get water spots. Or where could the humidifier live to be helpful for all plants on the display. C ) would using distilled or spring water for the humidifier solve this problem all together? Iâm currently using unfiltered tap water. D ) any tips on how to make this setup more useful and practical for the plants, Iâm all ears. Iâm new at this and loving all of the help the community has provided. Thanks for looking.

After three months of planning and mentally preparing for it, I gave home-made succulent arrangements to a few people last December. What I learned makes me now look at every box store arrangement and think, thatâs a beautiful decoration that will be dead in two months. Son and mother - or neighbor and neighbor - will have an awkward conversation next time they visit. It takes about a month to figure out that succulent arrangements are untenable if you didnât start sorting by (surprise) light and water needs; with water, Iâve built little retaining walls or kept the plant inside its own pot and planted the whole thing underground. Experiments. Here is an arrangement I made for myself at the time. Note that is last month, and it kind of looks rough because I knew I would be repotting it - because of all the reasons mentioned. The plants were a gift, and I was going through a âI want plants rooting over rocksâ moment. I was at the point of watering according to one plantâs needs, though there used to be four diff species. This is better. That stretchy one can finally get some light. I also couldnât pass up that little shiny Haworthia where I got the smaller pot. Also, the amount of effort involved in fitting that white box on my shelf was ridiculous ha.

Iâve had this plant for a while now, and I thought that it was a Moth Orchid, please correct me if Iâm wrong. I was watering bit today, and I noticed my yellow leave. I know that yellow leaves in older plants are supposed to happen with orchids, so should take it off for new growth? Also, should I repot it?

Very beginner plant parent here⊠đđȘŽ Just gathered up some beautiful plants about a week-3 days ago to fill my balcony (which means I canât plant into the ground). Sun starts hitting the space around 1:45pm until sunset. I input everything correctly onto the app here and am following, but a few of them already seem to be wilting/losing their petals on me⊠I always seem to run into this issue and canât keep any alive! Any suggestions?
