Why is my poor snake plant yellowing and dying? I brought it inside once it started freezing outside. I water maybe every two weeks, maybe less than that.

Papo

I’ve had a papaya tree or palm for two years. It has given us delicious papayas in abundance every year. However, it is growing fast and we think next year we will not be able to reach the fruits. I saw on line that if you top off the tree, it will stop growing tall and still bear fruits and leaves. I did it but the tree lost all of its leaves and started growing from the top again. I simply don’t see how to keep it short and easy to reach the fruits. Does anyone?

Does anyone have any ideas or inspo pics for hanging plants that wouldn’t require putting a hole in the ceiling or wall? I really want to hang some of mine, but don’t want to put holes in the house if there’s a way to avoid it!

Need help identifying a new plant I got (from Trader Joe’s). Is this an elephant ear? Or an alocasia? I’m new to plants and bought this labelled as “tropical plant”. Thanks!

I never thought I would see a black bat, let alone OWN one!! She is just shy of 3 feet with her pot and found her at a local nursery 5 minutes down the road that I somehow never knew about! A gift from my sister. 🖤

I've had this Norfolk Pine for about 6 years and it has grown but not as much as I've read it should. It's about 2 feet from a south facing window and gets mostly bright indirect light and some grow light during the winter. I mist it a couple times a week. It seems healthy and happy but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how I could increase its growth rate? Thanks!

I went to Lowe’s and I saw a healthy bamboo and at Lowe’s for the bamboos they chop off a little part of the bamboo and he put this like clay stuff that you can just like scoop off why does Lowes do that but also I like have it in a little jar and it’s for the water and my mom said they’d be fine and healthy and I saw the little things moving around in it and I thought oh that just might have been like maybe two here in Vegas we have a mini mini earthquakes and I thought maybe I just like a little floaty and maybe that one of those we’re just moving there’s something living in the water of my bamboo😂

Ok guys does anyone know what my Moth Orchid is doing? She’s been growing this long…protrusion for quite a few weeks now.

Some controversial plant ideas: Do snake plants prefer low/low medium light or lots of light? Should you leave a dying leaf on the plant until it falls off so the plant can reabsorb all the energy, or should you cut it as soon as you see it? Should you mist your plants or not? I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on these.
