Does anyone know why my spider plant keeps doing this? The leaves keep flopping and feel paper thin now rather than rubbery? Is it overwatering? I water once a week cos the soil usually gets bone dry all the way through after just a couple days, so I feel the need to water once a week, but is that too much? Or is it something else? Please excuse the mess in the backgroundš«£
Need some guidanceā¦ just acquired this stripped dracaena, rubber plant, and moth orchid. Iāve had the Bonsai over a year now. I need advice on repotting them with pots with drainage and any other tip will highly take into consideration! š I got the water scheduling down.. and tips on fertilizers is needed. Have a wonderful day !
Has anyone else ever found packing peanuts in their soil before? I had my 30-year-old jade plant repotted by my local nursery back in May, and recently it started losing some leaves. I went to check the roots and soil and found that instead of any perlite, there was two handfuls of packing peanuts stuffed in with the soil. Iāve never had issues with this nursery. Their plants have always been in great condition, so Iām curious if anyone else has used or found packing peanuts (yes, the styrofoam ones) in their soil, and why. I decided to remove the peanuts completely as they ended up blocking the drainage holes at the bottom, but Iām curious to hear anyone elseās experiences with it.

So need some plant experts on this one (Iām somewhere on the intermediate level as far as plants are concerned - I have around 50+ plants and have several in self watering pots that are doing phenomenal). However, I know self watering pots are controversial in the plant community LOL - but wondering if in this case putting a Aglaonema in one was a bad idea & if itās causing rot?š¤ itās a very contradicting situation cause: 1. I cut off about a dozen āyellowing leavesā (photo below) today. 2.it also has a ton of new growth which makes me think itās fine but might need to be watered less? (Note: I water it every 12 days instead of every week to account for the extra water at the bottom itās soaking up).
I have a spot where the closest window (which is HUGE) is probably around 5 meters away, any plant suggestions for that spot? Mostly hanging plants please because I have two little kitty monsters
Anyone have a good amount of experience with scindapsusās? This is my 3rd attempt at having one & Iām having issues with the leaves curling & the plant eventually dying or to the point where it just looks awful - does that mean it needs more water or is it perhaps another issue? I got the one in the pic 6+ months ago & itās doing okay since I repotted a few months ago in a chunkier tropical soil mix, but not as good as Iād like - still noticing some curling leaves & really small new growth! (note: have it on a 6 day watering schedz about 1ft away from an east facing window so it should be getting a good amount of morning light).
Quick question! Iām looking for something to buy to create more space on my windowsill for my plants. I have pretty narrow windowsills all throughout my house, and sadly my dad is the one that lucked out with all the south windows in his room, leaving me with one little south windowsill to work with on the first floor. Does anyone have anything theyāve used to extend a windowsill, or any shelving item that theyāve bought to stick to a window? TIA! I have a fast growing Jade plant thatās quickly outgrowing its spot, but I donāt wanna move her from the āsucculent cornerā I have that I use as a nice display of my plants that everyone can see through the window of the front of our house when people come in.
I am starting to branch out into some more unusual plants. I got my philodendron Florida ghost in the mail today and I couldnāt be more excited!! Any tips on how to care for this beauty would be much appreciated. My plan for now is to basically treat it like my pink princess.
A grasshopper got into the house and ate my plant. Is there anything I can use indoors to protect my plants?
help. peacock plant not looking too good.
Does anyone know why this is happening? šš
I repotted a Rex begonia & it is really REALLY wilty going on 2 days now. Will it bounce back? Is this a dramatic plant like fittonias? Does anyone have any tips with this plant? I canāt find hardly any specific info on its characteristics. It was so pretty before paranoid me thought it couldāve been suffering from overwatering/rot.
Help! I was looking at my monstera propagation and I noticed a cloudy like substance near the end. I change the water weekly. But I donāt want it to be mold or something that will harm it. What is it? And should I remove it? Any other tips appreciated! Thank you!! š
How do I care for basil? She was up and perky at the store but now sheās droopy š©
How do I care for Romain lettuce? Can I put this in soil and keep growing it forever? Or how does this work
My decrepit prayer plant put out a huge pretty new leaf; I'm so proud of her
Do any of you make your own African violet soil mix? I have a ton of amendments for my aroids, but I only have one tiny violet, so I donāt really want to buy a whole bag of specialty soil. I have a some fine peat that I decided ages ago I hated as a mix-in lol, but the violets might actually like it! I also have perlite, sphagnum, worm castings, and all that jazz Gotchya day pic for tax š I recently learned that variegated African violets actually go all green during the hot months. Who knew?? So even though mine has become green and plain looking since this pic was taken, it should go pink and white again in the fall š¤
Attention Amaryllis Bulb People! Ok. It is mid August. Last year I let my Amaryllis bulbs remain outdoors until end of October due to the nice weather. Needless to say I had Easter Blooms and not Christmas Blooms. Pictured here are my three bulbs with their massive green plumage. The past 4 weeks the bulbs themselves have seemed to even begun to store all that energy as they are harder to the touch. Should I: A) Let them stay outside and have Easter Blooms in 2025 B) Put them in the basement to die back for Holiday 2024 p.s. I canāt believe that Basil plant is still kicking too.
So Iām going off to college in less than two weeks, but Iām trying to pack all five of my plants to travel to my dorm. Itās about a three hour drive, and Iām worried about how to properly store them in order for them to stay in a healthy condition. I can easily carry my Haworthia in my lap, but my the other four are quite flimsy. How would I go about properly storing and transporting them?
