Big thanks to whomever mentioned using a grow light during the night to keep the plants alive in a dark bathroom. Brilliant idea! I just put everything away in the morning and my Senseveria looks gorgeous all day 🙃

🆘 !! I bought a gardenia bonsai online and she arrived about a week ago. She initially had a lot of buds, but they start to wilt and soon as they open and look like this (see photo) within a day of opening. She also had a few yellow leaves and I don’t think there are any more now than there were a week ago. I know gardenias are sensitive, so maybe she just needs some time to recover from the shipping and to get used to the new environment? I have her in indirect sunlight in a room that gets a ton of light. But what’s worrying me is that when I tried to use a moisture meter by her roots, I couldn’t even push it in there. The akadama around her is very loose and the water runs off immediately, but I’m concerned nothing’s actually making it to her roots. Under different circumstances, I’d take a look at her roots and repot her if needed. But since she’s so delicate, I’m concerned I’ll just do more damage. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks ahead of time! đŸ™đŸŒ

I’m a new plant mom and I was wondering why my wavy fern smells acidic. What does that mean and how do I fix it because my plant is starting to wilt.

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 can’t 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. 🌿💞

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

Got two new babies from Walmart Yesterday, A lucky Bamboo and a Xanthoma.â˜ș The Xanthoma looks kind of unhealthy and the soil was dry whenever I bought her. I was wondering if anyone knows what’s wrong with her leaves? Or any other issues present? Im going to repot her later today to hopefully helpđŸ™đŸ»đŸȘŽ The bamboo plant is in this pot with glued in rocks. I’m 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 I’m hoping someone will know what that is? 🎋 Any advice is very appreciated😊

I’m moving, and guess what I’m concerned with? So many plants. I was so concerned that I made “south facing” 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 I’m not roasting at night. This whole “South Window” area will be contained in a 5’ x 3’ spot in my new living room. Right? Right. Some older photos show the evolution. This spot was Lithops ground 0. RIP “SOUTH WINDOW.”

I would LOVE advice / suggestions for my new plant stand. (See photo) I’m 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? I’ve used a saturated micro fiber cloth with decent pressure and they’re 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? I’m currently using unfiltered tap water. D ) any tips on how to make this setup more useful and practical for the plants, I’m all ears. I’m 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, that’s 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 didn’t start sorting by (surprise) light and water needs; with water, I’ve 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 “I want plants rooting over rocks” moment. I was at the point of watering according to one plant’s needs, though there used to be four diff species. This is better. That stretchy one can finally get some light. I also couldn’t 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.
