This beauty!! I’m confused on the amount of light that they prefer. Right now, I’d say it’s in part sun/part shade and seems happy with the humidifier on him. I have room by the southwest window. Which is best? I’m in PA if that makes a difference.
Hi! I just got my 2nd Tillandsia Ionantha, and was wondering how to water or how often? Was planning on watering every three days, by misting it well, shaking the water off, and then drying. I’ve heard many different things so just wondering, is that alright? And with distilled water? Just curious. Thanks!
Just got this gorgeous string of needles the other day ive been wanting a long draping plant for a while and im absolutely in love with her!!
not much plant related but yesterday my mom and i we’re about to garden and she got stung by a wasp! it was so bad we had to go to the hospital. ( she’s okay now!) so be careful of those! i know they like to hang around plants and make hives in shrubs or trees.
My biggest plant is and asparagus fern named melvin he is very thorny and the other day I was watering him and one of his thorns was lodged in my skin! I was very mad at him and then after a little while I said sorry because it wasn’t his fault. Then he put out a new sprout! ❤️🌱
hello! my dark star elephant ear alocasia has 3 yellowing leaves but just shot out a new growth right in the center. i did research, and it said alocasia’s kill off 1 or more leaves when having a new leaf lower to the bottom of the plant and i think that’s what’s happening. but if you guys think different please let me know i just got her last week and she’s so beautiful! it always hurts me when plants die :(
Saw this on instagram, too true 🥲
Hey can anyone help me with my aloe please it’s gone this grey ish colour and if you cut leaves I get with neon yellow liquid which really smells bad!
Is it okay to repot an elephant ear while it’s working on a new leaf? I bought this a few weeks ago and have just noticed how root bound it is.
I built a shelf for my plants with some bed frame slats my neighbor was getting rid of! Had to get all my plants together for a family photo💚 Best idea ever!
Wimpy is doing better….
Found this three story plant heaven on a trip but had to catch a trolley and now I’m back home, I’m so sad I didn’t get to fully explore I need to come back here!
hate when big box stores do this 😭
Hi everyone 👋 I want to redo my landscape in the front yard and need help picking plants that can last in Utah weather. We’re hot half the year and covered in snow the rest. Where they are planted the sun is at for a majority of the day. Anything helps 🌱 Thanks in advance !
Hi! So I just moved into a new place, and our window looks out into a center where everyone in the complex could see into our apartment when the blinds are open. We don’t feel very safe with people able to see into the apartment when we aren’t home, but obviously my plants need sun even when I’m not here. Could anyone recommend a type of film or something like that (renter friendly) that will prevent people from seeing inside but still let in enough sun? Or another solution? Thanks so much!
Some plants i am currently proud of! Pumpkins and Butterfly Bush!
I’m having a hard time growing this little cactus. Any advice? It is placed in a south facing window and I water very rarely and only when the soil is completely dry. Thanks for your help!
I know majesty palms are drama queens, but any idea as to why I’m getting stunted fronds? This is the second frond to be short.
My parents surprised me with this plant from Lowe’s and I'm so confused about the potting arrangement 😭 It's like moss I think with maybe a rope around it and I fr don't know what to think abt it! If I do repot it im going to get orchid bark but I'm not sure what pot size/ type I will get yet. Please send advice in the comments!!
What would you consider low, normal, and high humidity percentages?
