Hey there. Today I repotted my Monstera adansonii, the roots was growing out of the nursery pot at the bottom and top as well as every week a leaf was turning yellow. I bought Kellogg organic potting mix because I know a lot of people don’t recommend MiracleGro and that was the only other option at the store. Should I have added something else to the soil besides the dirt? Also a leaf is already yellow should I leave it or take it out Thanks In Advance Everyone 🫶🏽

Hi there! My aloe has been losing a bottom leaf every few weeks. I thought maybe I was overwatering so I slowed down (also bought a hygrometer). Today I’m noticing one more leaf is about to fall off & is loose. It is dark at the base. Anyone know what is causing this? Otherwise it looks plump & healthy.

What kind of plant is she? I know there’s an identifier on the app but I don’t have the funds to pay for that right now 😩

My sunflowers are anywhere between one to 2 1/2 months old and some of them seem to be dying, but then I read somewhere. I should be watering them 2 to 3 days a week and I was doing them every day. There’s some below if anybody could give me some guidance if I should water them or not water them or any advice that would be amazing. The leaves are always discoloring

I have a living room with a wall to wall window, should I be worried about distance still from that window? The room is very bright but the app says that those at the other side of the room 3m+ may not be getting enough sunlight?

BOTTOM WATERING, I need some help! I’ve just started watering like this and yesterday when I checked these plants soil moisture levels, I found that a couple of my plants registered in the mid 50% to a high level of 59%! That really worried me! I don’t usually water my moisture loving plants until they reach at least a mid 30% or lower level of moisture. Do some of these moisture loving plants like to stay at these high levels? I am so worried I am going to kill them with this time saving watering method. Any opinions? TIA for any help! 🤗💚🪴 PS. I have included two pictures of my small plants in plastic trays that are drinking water and additives and a picture of a large plant in a decorative pot that is drinking water from the pot itself. Just a few examples of the many plants for which I am using this method.

I bought this variegated Burle Marx cutting back in February. The roots have grown over the months and the plant is super healthy but there have been no signs of new growth. Does anyone know if this is one of those spent notes? Should I cut off the leaf to encourage new growth?

Hello all, favor to ask. I have this gorgeous Thanksgiving Cactus that I’ve had for many years. It’s huge and every fall it blooms like crazy. In the summers I put it outside under a tree so it gets minimal direct sunlight and it’s thrived. The end of last years summer vacation I noticed that something has taken several chunks out of it. So I brought it in and it still bloomed. This summer I put it back in its summer location and recently noticed more bites out of it and some pieces lying on the ground near it. If you look closely at these pictures you’ll see white tips, those are the sections that have been eaten. Any ideas of what could possibly be eating my special cactus???? I’ve tried the spray that was recommended but that didn’t seem to stop it. So I’ve moved it to my back deck right against the house and haven’t seen any more damage. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What’s happening with my Anthurium plant, I see yellow and brown leaves and they slowly fall off. I water them weekly once with 6 ice cubes as directed. Did not repot it yet, it’s been only a month since I got it. Right now, I have it on a north facing window trim. Can someone help with recommendations on how to save this plant.

I’m still new to spider plants and I’m struggling to understand where the baby begins?🤣 Is it the bottom part of the stem that I’d cut or would I propagate from each part of the stem where the leaf starts to grow? Or is it just the very top? I have no clue🤣 any help?

I have this ctenanthe burle marxii in my study that I absolutely adore, but it is my only plant that is only in water and I am at a loss. It is only in purified water and gets plenty of indirect sunlight, but I am not sure how to give it nutrients. Any tips on what fertilizers to use and how often for water culture?
