I went to The Leaf here in Winnipeg, Canada which is a new tropical indoor oasis in our town (I think it is a year or so since it opened). The fact it is was -35 C or -31 F when we arrived made walking around looking at giant palm, calathea, and banana trees etc pretty surreal but you only had to look up to see all the windows completely frosted over to remember where we really were. Not a fun place to leave when it’s that cold outside. It was nice to see so many things blooming and all the gorgeous greenery. The first picture is the view as I stepped outside back into the deep freeze.

I can’t for the life of me figure out what plant this is — Planta doesn’t seem to list it in the results when I search. It’s clearly not doing very well. Any advice? Root rot?

Beginner’s cry for help! Planta can’t seem to identify this one correctly — maybe it’s a Palm Lilly? — and it’s clearly not doing very well — above all, the leaves are losing their color and starting to shrivel. I water it every 14 days and it’s outside in a humid environment between 70 and 80F every day. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, this is going to be a beginners cry for any help/ advice. Yesterday I received a lemon tree for my birthday. She appears to already have lemon buds growing. Now I am dedicated to the cause but I’ve never had a plant of any kind. So I’m already running before I can walk. Does anyone have any pro tips on what stage this plant is at or what I need to be doing to make sure I don’t kill these babies. I need to repot it, that’s for sure (Again, I’m clueless on when I need to do this) but I did put a grow light today, hopefully that helps.
Thank you 🍋💛

I have a beloved Yucca Elephantipes that used to belong to my favorite uncle who passed a few years ago, so the plant means a lot to me. He’s grown pretty tall and bushy over the years and is too big and heavy to move inside but right now in central Texas we’ve got a cold snap with below freezing temps for multiple days! 🥶 I’m so worried about him I’ve wrapped his pot in two blankets, put a frost cover over him, then set up a pop up greenhouse tent over him. I strung some old school Christmas lights in there because they give off heat and managed to convince my husband to let me put his new heater in there. lol! He won’t let me keep the heater on over night for safety purposes and I totally understand but I’m just hoping all of this is enough to keep him from dying. Without the heater it will get to about 20 degrees in there overnight. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

So this fiddle leaf died recently. All the leaves fell off and this was left. It died very shortly after repotting and fresh soil. I almost trashed the whole thing but I looked today and there’s a new something at the bottom. What should I do??

Hi wonderful plant people! One of my new plants is my first one I need to mist. I don’t have something to mist with and I have no clue what I can use lol
If someone can tell me what they use and where they got it that would be awesome even a picture would be helpful.
Thanks plant parents!!

I just repotted my plants into a bigger container with new potting soil, should I immediately give it a full watering or a little bit of water?
addie
hey lovely people,
anybody know what’s happening to my fiddle fig?
it’s completely healthy and growing quick,
except for a couple leaves that look like this, should i prune?

Hey friends! I have this polka dot plant, and I’ve had it maybe a month. I have it in a pretty small nursery pot because the root ball isn’t all that big. My question is why do the roots keep growing straight down, instead of wrapping around the pot? About a week ago, I pulled it out of the pot and raised it up a bit due to the roots poking out of the bottom. And a week later (today) there are more roots sticking out of the bottom. Being in a clear pot I am able to see the roots and they are just growing straight down. What would cause this? And what should I do? I feel going up in pot size won’t help the problem, and this isn’t enough roots to justify it. I do have it on a pebble tray, could this be why?

Another question.
This is a Peperomia Marble that I just got about 4 hrs ago. I had to take the bus home and she got exposed to about 8degreeF weather for a total of 10 minutes maybe. Is she dying on me??? I would understand why . What should I do? First pic is taking her home, second is now

Is this baby plant the same as the adult plant? Also this baby has barely grown since July. I have also fertilized it. Any tips to get it to grow?
Rachael
Hi to all! 😊 I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year so far. I have this house tree/palm and I am having a difficult time finding the exact name for it. It is not a ponytail palm and it is not a dragon tree. 🌴Please let me know if you have any other ideas. 🙏🏽
Miki
Can anybody tell me what this plant is called?
Please and thank you!

Can someone please help and tell me what this guy is? I got him at a yard sale.

Kind of a dumb question, but I received this plant by mail, is the mossy stuff just part of the travel packaging or does it remain???
