hey there, i’m something of an expert when it comes to houseplants, and i just wanted to say i see a lot of half-truths and flat out lies spread on this platform since i started looking around. i really want to encourage everyone to take the time to do individual research and not just believe what some random planta user tells you. it’s also important to keep in mind that what may be true for one person and one plant, is likely not true for another because of the difference in environment and personal habits. good luck out there and happy planting 🌱

Good Morning!
This sweet baby almost died, I’m pretty sure the usual suspect: me overwatering. I repotted her (I realize now I out her in a pot that’s at least 47 sizes too big) but she almost immediately starting growing lots of leaves wicked fast!!!!! When I repotted only the two that I want to talk about today existed.
My question is, those two that are curling…is it too much direct sun? I have her right in the window….maybe it’s too much?
Tysm!

My first bloom on a Hoya! There were more like 10 flowers on the peduncle to begin with, but some got knocked off during a storm and others dried up and fell off before opening 😔 The flowers smell like tootsie rolls 🙂

had a plant oops. I put my air plant in water submerged before work, with full intent to remove her after 15 minutes. I walked out the door and 12 hours later realized that she was still in the bowl of water. Am I going to kill her? I have her upside down under a grow light now. Hoping for the best.

Any idea what kind of plant this is? I think it’s an Alocasia, not sure of the variety. Planta identification didn’t seem very accurate

I’m looking to repot my new peperomia frosted and I thought I had the perfect pot for it! Turns out the pot is terracotta but is glazed on the inside with zero drainage. Id prefer not to keep it in the nursery pot it came in because it sticks of the pot I have currently and I’m not sure I can find something that will work due to the shape of the pot. Has anyone had success potting peperomias in pot with no drainage? I currently have another smaller Peperomia in a pot with zero drainage but the new plant is much larger and I’m not sure if it’ll be okay. Help is appreciated!!!

I left my job last year to work full time in a nursery and it’s been the best thing ever. Look at this beautiful begonia I snagged for $9 💞

hey everyone, i’m begging for help. my fittonia is being watered generously on a set schedule, sits by a humidifier to increase its humidity, and receives adequate light. how can i prevent the leaves from wilting and getting crispy (like the leaves on the bottom left)?

Has anyone used leaf shine on an anthurium or alocasia? Any recommendations on brands? Or should I not risk it and only dust them off with microfiber

Hey everyone! I have a fiddle leaf fig and it’s had all of these separate babies since I got it. I heard it was better to leave them all together so they’re supported by the others and as a plus it makes them look fuller. And I’m not gonna lie, i do enjoy the fuller look but I’m concerned that’s it’s gonna hold the growth back from the smaller ones.
Do you guys think I should separate? Or no? Or any advice u have!
The one I’m most concerned with is the second biggest (last pic) because it looks like it’s stopped growing for the time being and has been at this height now for awhile.
