I’m waiting anxiously for the pink princess philodendron I ordered to come in, and the little variegated string of pearls for a bonus 🥰

So this started out as one plant. I had it for about 8 months and it had not grown even slightly and one of the leaves had a dead spot (as you can still see). I decided to remove the leaf that seemed to be having a bad time in the hopes that it would make the original plant happier (I’m no scientist, very amateur still). I didn’t want to just throw that cutting away so I put it in some water and within a week it started growing roots and a new second leaf. Now I’ve planted the cutting and it seems to be very happy. Is there anything I should do to help the original plant grow some new leaves, or do I just need to be patient?

So I did this based on recommendations. My bamboo was in the green vase prior to the clear glass vase. I like it for rummaging around for whatever I could find. I think it looks cool and I’m hoping my bamboo likes it too!

Hi! I recently just purchased this philodendron ‘pink princess’ and I absolutely love it. If anyone has any tips on upkeep, ideal conditions, support for enhanced variegation, etc. please let me know! 💗

Hi. Wondering if I could get some advice in regards to my bamboo plant. It’s in water in a ceramic vase with rocks in bottom. My question is: what size planter should I use for the root system and are rocks to stabilize acceptable. Thanks I ended up switching from green to glass vase

Help! I bought this peperomia on facebook from a plant group and I’ve had it for about 2 weeks now and it is not doing well at all. A few days after I got it, I discovered it had gnats in the soil so I repotted it and covered the new soil in neem oil to keep them away. I water it every week or so, according to my planta schedule, but it keeps losing leaves and doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Any advice?

Very excited- fellow urban dwellers will understand! After 12 years in my current 2nd floor walkup (and living in similar yard-less apartments since 2002), we are going to be getting a backyard! We live in a 6-unit, 3 story rowhouse in Brooklyn, so only the ground floor right-side unit has yard access, and those neighbors (11 years) gave us the heads-up that they are moving this summer, so we arranged with the landlord to move down to that unit when they go. It doesn’t look like much yet, but I have so many plans! Currently has some old growth rose bushes in the center, some wild violets growing along the fence and path. Needs fencing reenforced, weeds pulled and soil freshened up. We also need to come up with some rat-prevention strategies, because Brooklyn, but oh, the possibilities! Any suggestions on good zone 7 plants?

I need some help! I bought this single leaf monstera albo a few weeks ago and now it is growing these tiny leaves that are growing directly from of the roots. Considering how much I paid for this single leaf, I don’t want to pluck them if they are part of the plant. None of my other monsteras have had growth like this before. Has anyone ever seen this??

Rescued this one from Home Depot, I repotted it to a larger pot since the roots were coming out the bottom. There is the one side that appears to be growing sideways, should I put a trellis in or should I repot again and try to separate that growth into a separate pot? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Does anyone know the process to re-identify plant species. I saw the info but cannot locate it now

I live in the Midwest US, where we get the full range of weather & temperatures. My full sun loving plants still grow long in south-facing windows, so I put them outside when I can (no rain, wind, hail, tornadoes in forecast). I end up moving them in & out of the house a lot, which is getting to be a pain. I’m interested in a (very small) greenhouse to keep them safe while outside—see example below. Does anyone have experience with these? Many thanks!

Is this app geared towards flowers or vegetables?? Does it help with trees??

My Song of India started dropping leaves and the stem is shriveling up. I’ve had it about a year and had repotted it about a week before it started dying. I’ve been following the Plants instructions and don’t think I’m over/under watering. Any chance I can save what’s left? Does trimming the stem below the shriveled part do anything? It was perfectly healthy before the repotting, and I initially thought it was just transplant shock.

Hi Just purchased this bulb for my monsters Thai and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this LED bulb? It's 30 W, any idea on how far it should be from plant?

I just want everyone to know that I am insanely jealous of all the plants that would be $30 or more in Texas that just grow wildly out here in Southern California. 😤😭
