My Anthurium warocqueanum went from this (first photo) to this (second photo). All because of thrips. However, after treating it by giving it a soaking bath in neem oil solution, repotting it and releasing predatory mites, it has started to sprout. I’ve seen a few juvenile thrips, newly hatched out of the leaves of the plant, but they quickly disappeared. So I think the mites are working pretty well 👏
having a hard time identifying this new baby.. it's got 2 rounded wrinkle leaves coming off the same stem. i get a different answer every time i scan it
Hello everyone! I was hoping I could get some advice for fungus gnats. I had purchased contaminated soil from a big box store, big mistake. Any way long story short I have used sticky straps in my plants. I got rid of most of them but it’s been a couple of years and I can’t seem to get rid of them completely. Any advice is truly appreciated!
What a weekend! I got a cactus garden yesterday! I love it so much! 🌵💚 This morning I repotted my Cylinder Snake Plant because it was long overdue. She had thicc juicy roots and the babies were bursting out of the pot! The picture of it in the small blue pot is from the day I got it last year. She and her babies finally have room to breathe! Did y'all get and/or do any planty things this weekend? 😄🪴
Can I use ivory bar soap to make an insecticide?
Are these little spots on my philodendron normal? What are they? Plant is otherwise healthy and growing great but just started noticing these popping up on older leaves
Help with succulents and “string of”!!!!!! First, my succulents are always getting etiolated even when under grow lights all day!!!! I got an old lady cactus and it looks like a weird cone now. And I’m always so scared to water them!!! I don’t have “good draining” soil no matter how hard I try And I cannot keep “string of” things happy no matter what I do. They’re always drying out or rotting away. I had a string of hearts that was beautiful and when I saw it had a low of water stuck in the soil because it was root bound, I repotted it and now it’s down to a few straggly pieces that are wrinkled but I’m scared to water them because I don’t want them to die!!! Help!!!!
Plant resurrection story!! In August, my husband gave me a big, lush, beautiful Hawaiian Ti plant, that within a few weeks developed a mite infestation and no amount of bathing or doctoring seemed like it was going to save it. It had 3 stalks, and after a little research indicated they could be water propogated, I took a desperate stab and chopped the 3 stalks off to propogate 3 plants (hoping at least one would survive.) All three developed roots, and I put one in dirt and kept 2 in water. The one I potted, died. For months, the water-based ones didn’t get better, but they didn’t get worse? But now! The older leaves are a little crispy at the edges, but WE HAVE NEW LITTLE SHOOTS!!! I think they might make it!
Hello Planta Community! Incoming cactus flowers!
I’ve had this hibiscus for 7 years, it was my first plant and I mistreated it for years. It’s looked left for dead after spider mite infestations that required warm baths to remove, I didn’t fertilize it for years, had it in the wrong soil type - but now I’m strictly following the planta advice as of the fall and it’s been looking better than it was. Think there’s a chance it starts growing a lot come springtime? Should I consider propagating some of the branches? Any recommendations are welcome. It does have a lot of sentimental value.
Help! This fella seems to be shedding loads of leafs lately. What can I do to help it out?
Time to nurse this baby back to thriving health!!
I just bought a couple of cyclamen plants in pots. One of the plants has lots of yellow leaves. What does that mean?
Birds of Paradise Im growing indoors to keep the massive leaves unbroken. 7th Leaf currently sprouting. Goal is to have 10-20 fully grown, unbroken BOP Leaves emerging from the same widening base, like a peacock tail when it fans open. Worried about the rootball over time. Anyone familiar with how BOP roots or have care tips to share? Hoping this works because it’s currently as tall as my ceiling and if it fans and even doubles in leaffage, could be a showstopper.
Hi everyone! Posting a happy baby. ☺️
My plants are thirsty today!
A super kind friend gave me a grow light bulb since my place is rather dark. I’m just a little confused over how long I should keep it on each day? Is it supposed to be on during the night too? I’m sorry but I’ve never used one before but I want to give my coleus more light so it grows better. Thank you!
Hi! Can I go dig on my alocasia soil to see if she has corms without disturbing her so much? I don’t want to repot her yet but I do want to dig for corms. Can that be done without causing her stress? TIA for any insight 🙏🏻
I have this Algerian ivy plant which hasn’t been doing too hot for a while, I’ve been on schedule with watering (and being careful to not over water when still damp) but I haven’t seen much improvement yet…. Wondering how I can get this guy back to good health
I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day yesterday! Who doesn't love getting plants instead of flowers for Valentine's Day?? My husband got me these two succulents (Pincushion Peperomia and Echeveria) with funny tags 😁 My parents got me a Medusa Head Air Plant inside of a macrama hanger. I'm loving my small Valentine's haul! 💖 What did you guys get? 🫶🏻
