I’m moving, and guess what I’m concerned with? So many plants. I was so concerned that I made “south facing” a priority when looking for new spots. I even went out to a spot before signing a lease and looked at the light situation in the evening to make sure the plants are fine but I’m not roasting at night. This whole “South Window” area will be contained in a 5’ x 3’ spot in my new living room. Right? Right.
Some older photos show the evolution. This spot was Lithops ground 0. RIP “SOUTH WINDOW.”

I would LOVE advice / suggestions for my new plant stand. (See photo) I’m noticing water spots (white spots) on leaves of the Pilea and Monstera on the shelf above the small humidifier.
A ) how can I safely remove the water spots? I’ve used a saturated micro fiber cloth with decent pressure and they’re still there, but less visible.
B ) is there a more effective way to position these plants in relation to the humidifier to keep them hydrated but not too close to get water spots. Or where could the humidifier live to be helpful for all plants on the display.
C ) would using distilled or spring water for the humidifier solve this problem all together? I’m currently using unfiltered tap water.
D ) any tips on how to make this setup more useful and practical for the plants, I’m all ears. I’m new at this and loving all of the help the community has provided.
Thanks for looking.

After three months of planning and mentally preparing for it, I gave home-made succulent arrangements to a few people last December. What I learned makes me now look at every box store arrangement and think, that’s a beautiful decoration that will be dead in two months. Son and mother - or neighbor and neighbor - will have an awkward conversation next time they visit.
It takes about a month to figure out that succulent arrangements are untenable if you didn’t start sorting by (surprise) light and water needs; with water, I’ve built little retaining walls or kept the plant inside its own pot and planted the whole thing underground. Experiments.
Here is an arrangement I made for myself at the time. Note that is last month, and it kind of looks rough because I knew I would be repotting it - because of all the reasons mentioned. The plants were a gift, and I was going through a “I want plants rooting over rocks” moment. I was at the point of watering according to one plant’s needs, though there used to be four diff species. This is better. That stretchy one can finally get some light. I also couldn’t pass up that little shiny Haworthia where I got the smaller pot.
Also, the amount of effort involved in fitting that white box on my shelf was ridiculous ha.

I’ve had this plant for a while now, and I thought that it was a Moth Orchid, please correct me if I’m wrong. I was watering bit today, and I noticed my yellow leave.
I know that yellow leaves in older plants are supposed to happen with orchids, so should take it off for new growth?
Also, should I repot it?

Good morning 😃!! I shared this in one other feed .. Looking to see if this plant would do well outdoors or is strictly an indoor plant ?
Thank you for the help !!

Very beginner plant parent here… 😊🪴
Just gathered up some beautiful plants about a week-3 days ago to fill my balcony (which means I can’t plant into the ground). Sun starts hitting the space around 1:45pm until sunset. I input everything correctly onto the app here and am following, but a few of them already seem to be wilting/losing their petals on me… I always seem to run into this issue and can’t keep any alive! Any suggestions?

Bunny Ear Cactus with a touch of the morning sun. I’d say she’s pretty happy for being in Illinois. 11 new ears happening this year.

Hey everyone, wondering what may have happened to my false aralia golden crest. It was doing amazing just a week ago and suddenly looks awful. I’m wondering if it may have gotten direct sunlight from my bedroom to cause it to look like this. Any opinions would be great! Watering and misting schedule is normal.

Is this normal for planting a Birkin? I don’t think I should be able to see this. Yes. Know it is unhealthy but this feels healthy. Help please!

My cousin sent a picture of a plant and I believe it is a lithops? (Please correct me if I’m wrong) If you know any tips or care directions, I’m all ears! Thanks!
