Help! What do I do with my monstera. It doesn’t use the the bamboo sticks and it’s so flimsy. Does it need more fertiliser or does it need a bigger pot?

I recently purchased a 6 in Peace Lilly from Kroger that sits at my office. I’ve always used the default schedules in Planta, which has worked pretty well, except for with this one. It seems that the water settings are too infrequent. It always perks back up, but it’s not thriving. I know how to custom change my schedule, but I like how it auto adjusts based on the season. My one thought is that I have the wrong soil listed. This one drains super quickly, almost like orchid soil, while I just listed it as regular potting soil in the app. Is that what this soil looks like to you? When I changed the soil in the app, it didn’t adjust the schedule. Any other suggestions?

I have 3 African Violets and they have been very healthy all winter but no blooms. I tried Epsom Salt diluted in Distilled water and watered them. I held my breath while doing this because I was terrified to ruin my AVs. It worked. My “Harmony’s Cotton Candy” started to show blooms within 2 days and today looks about to bloom. My purple AV has flower buds now but not as close to blooming as the Cotton Candy. So excited. First time having Blooming AV!!!!

I got this ginseng ficus for Christmas and the leaves were all dead by the time I got it home. I started putting it under grow lights everyday and started to see some green come out of the branches but now it has stopped. I’m wondering if it’s being scorched by the grow lights?? Or am I underwatering?? Any advice appreciated

Do you use herbicide and/or insecticide on your houseplants?

This is Mr. Krabs and he’s the first money tree I’ve had. We lost power and heat for about a week due to the cold and I’ve seen some yellowing/falling leaves since. Is there any advice on what to do? Or does he look alright otherwise? Any comments are appreciated! ❤️

Any advice for planting Pothos propagations? They always start drooping and I’m not sure how much to water them to encourage more root growth.

Do you name your plants? If so how do you pick their names? My Birken is named Susan. She just looks like a Susan to me. My Hoya Krimson Princess is named Princess Buttercup after The Princess Bride. Just curious how you come up with names.

Question about the light meter when adding a new plant. When taking a photo of the window to determine the light how far away should you be? Meaning do I take a photo a foot from the window and then say the plant is 10 feet away from it or take the photo from where the plant is and also say it is 10 feet away, for example? Each would give a different answer.
