I’ve had this Draecana since it was a baby (2007). It started looking horrible last year so Planta expert helped and it came back looking better but a new shoot happened. It came off the original plant so it can’t be separated and the original plant is clearly dying. Help!!
Question regarding plants that have a high humidity need.. if they’re in water or LECA etc does one still need to add additional humidity as in a humidifier??
So I just turned on my heater. Will my plants be ok with the heat ? As you can tell my heat is coming from the upper right wall .
Never have I ever seen a chocolate anthurium
does anyone know if it’s okay to trim this pickle plant? I’m aware that it’s reaching for light (i’ve been away at college and my sister hasn’t been keeping it in the windowsill, so i’m taking it with me this time), and i’ve recently repotted it. If it can be trimmed, will i be able to use the clipping to start another new plant?
Does anyone know what this leaf growing out of my string of tears is? I got this as a gift and it’s my first string succulent so i’m not sure if this is tegular growth or if it’s something else. Thanks!
So fun story, when I first got my alocasia Watsoniana, and was new to planta I was scavenging the app and the internet to find if it was a Watsoniana or not, and after much looking couldn’t find it on the app, so I decided to fill in a request to be added and guess what!! It’s been added, so now if you search for it you’ll find it!! Woooo
can anyone help me here and give me advice? :,) this is my brother’s bamboo plant that i’ve been taking care of. i’ve repotted the plant about a year ago with rocks i’ve picked up while hiking (and didn’t clean them so i’m assuming that could be the problem?) and since then the leaves been yellow. i try frequently watering it once the water runs low, still been yellow. now i’m thinking about repotting since it looks like the roots are growing. any advice and helpful tips?
I accidentally waterlogged my Jasmine and now the soil is very very smelly my whole room smells like it what can I do to get rid of the odor? the roots were growing out too so I’m going to repot it once the soil is dry enough I would love some advice!
My ZZ PLANT has leaves turning color. I only water it according to Planta. Help!
Did I kill my string of dolphins? I already killed my string of pearls.
Got 2 new additions, they’re temporarily living in my dorm right now. Their names are Kada (the chocolate soldier) & Lada (miniature pine tree)
can anyone give me tips on how to grow a plant in water full time? I currently have a flamingo lily in a mason jar, i had to prune a bunch of leaves because many were brown, but i do not want to lose it😅 and i also plan to put my peace lily in water if i can, so anything i should know please do tell😫😫
Super basic watering questions from a newbie! I'm new to houseplants and I want to know how people water their plants. Like, logistically. 😆 Do you take the water to the plants, with a watering can? Or do you bring the plants to the sink? If you use a watering can, what do you do about the extra water that drains out of the pot into the saucer? Do you dump it into a bucket or something? What about really big plants? How do you get the water out of the saucer if the plant is too big to easily lift? How much time does it take to water all your plants? Tell me how you water your plants, please! 🙏 (These feel like kind of silly questions, but I also know there are people who don't know how to pick up a cat or hold a baby. Everyone's a beginner at something!)
I have many variegated plants and noticed they are not doing that well in the winter. Our house is 62 at night. So here is my greenhouse solution with a heat mat to keep it at 70. I hope they like it! I am waiting to see if I need a humidifier if there is water in the tray. We will see what happens.
I repotted my first plant last year using this soil, and I’ve been using it ever since. I’ve seen a lot of posts on this app about well-draining soil and I don’t think this qualifies. I think it’s easier to overwater when a plant is in this soil. Does anyone have experience using this? Is there better quality all-purpose soil out there? Other suggestions?
Hi there! I recently picked up these clippings from a local plant shop and have no idea what it is. Can anyone help? They weren’t labeled and I can’t find exactly what it is through planta. Please help! 🌱
Hi all, this plant was sold as a pickle plant…but it is not (according to the photos I’ve seen online). Does anyone know what this is called? The closest thing I could find on the internet is an Eve’s needle cactus.
