Okay friends!!! I’m curious if any of you have used rabbit poop as fertilizer for your houseplants? How did it go? I’m a bunny mom of 2 and have lots of spare poop. It works great in my veggie & herb gardens, but curious if there are downsides to the extra nitrogen for houseplants.
Birthday rescues update: The corn plant and bromeliad had completely rotten roots and the aglaonema was stuck in a cage and had a lot of unhappy growth, but hopefully everyone is on the mend now! That croton 🤩
New foliage on my Alocasia 😍
Is he having a baby?! 👀 I brought him home last Friday, cleaned him up and now this! do you guys keep the flowers or cut them off? The internet is divided and I didn't even know these could have flowers!
Will Potentilla indica grow in terrariums?
Yesterday I learned that it’s not always minerals on the outside of my terra cotta pots, it’s mold (if it wipes off easy, it’s mold. If not, crust). I sprayed the outside of the pots with hydrogen peroxide and scrubbed to clean them up. Didn’t have to remove the plants. So I realized I needed a fan for the room (since the nearby vents are closed to force cold air upstairs) and the babies are far away from the ceiling fan. Also, I’ve been overwatering a tad. Perhaps I’ll pick up some tampons tomorrow cause I go a few weeks without watering, or is that normal? I’ve got a moisture meter and I do the knitting needle trick that Tanner the Planter does. I do have a grow light on one group and I have been opening the shades so they get some extra light. Picture of my Monstera Deliciosa, General Leia Organa, Franklin the orchid, and Francine the parlor palm for tax.
I just got this peperomia from Home Depot, but I don’t know what variety it is! I was thinking Watermelon, but I didn’t notice any bright red coloration in the stems. The leaves are thick and almost velvety to the touch.
Should I repost I just got it and what soil should I buy
Any ideas why my mother of thousands is SO DANG tall? When I first got her, she was very small and condensed, so I’m curious what could be the cause of this. Any clues?
Pot shopping by the beach + a baby prince of orange off the wishlist.
👋. So I feel so dumb🤦🏻♀️ I bought this plant and the plant tag fell off and I can’t remember what type of plant it is. I thought it started with A…… and had a V in there somewhere? 🥴😂 Please help TY
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before?
Does anyone else’s cat do the most to be included in progress photos?? 😹
My crown cactus looks a bit unwell is this normal?
Look at my prickly pear cactus! Her name is Hope, and she’s blooming! (The bud is new btw)
Not 1… Not 2… But 3 new shoots growing 😍
It's hot where I live. Gonna be 100 degrees or hotter for the next 7 days. I've moved outdoor plants to the covered porch, and mulched my flower pots (which I normally don't have to). I also turned on my porch misters to mist all the plants which were due today. Great way to mist all at once! And cool down the patio a few degrees! 😅😉
What is happening to my anthurium?? I have it in my grow cabinet And my Caladium one leaf looks like it’s browning. Also in my cabinet. Help!!
Suggestions or help needed ! My fig plant has brown spots and I’m not sure what I need to do revive it and stop the browning .
I saved a ZZ plant a couple months ago, it had almost never been watered but is doing pretty well now. one thing though, the plant tends to droop unless propped up by something. i don’t think it’s caused by overwatering but rather just a weird thing the plant does. i’ve been putting the leaves against walls in hopes that it will be able to hold itself up after a while, but it isn’t really working. is this normal? help!
