So I did a thing. Not sure if cooked, ate, or flopped but, my pothos plants has been getting brown tips on a few leaves and I assumed it was due to it not being humid enough, my room is quite dry. I’ve been thinking and brainstorming of a way to help it be a bit more humid without having to get a humidifier quite yet. I’ve been sitting on a few ideas for a couple days when today I was cleaning and it hit me. I’ve got these two empty clear containers just having taking up space maybe I could make an impromptu greenhouse for my plants. I moved some things around and I think this might work. Sprayed some water on the inside and adjusted my grow lights. What do yall think? Yay or nay?

Any thoughts on what’s going on with my newly potted ZZ ? I pulled this one from my larger ZZ ~5 days ago and the bases of the stem have rotted and detached from the rhizome. I’m going to propagate the broken stems, but can I try to replant the rhizome? My guess is that I replanted it in soil that didn’t have enough drainage.

Hi there! New here! Can anyone help me correctly identify this plant? It was a gift and there’s nothing on the label it comes with. I’ve googled just based off what I see and it looks to be a Calathea. Can anyone assist?

Does anyone have any experience with this plant? Amydrium Medium ‘Silver’ also sold as ‘Silver Spiderman’ It’s been very slow growing. Have it in 60% humidity- watering throughly when dry - gets 12 hours of bright indirect light with east facing window and I also supplement with grow lights with my plants in afternoon.

Got this zz as a gift it was a prop so I sturdied her with some sticks 😅 any tips or tricks appreciated, never owned one before !

Hi everyone, a couple of days ago. I put a post about my peperomia Hope. And noticed that my leaves were wrinkly looking and very soft. It was previously in a terra-cotta 5 inch pot. I’ve taken it out of the pot to see how the roots are. There are hardly any roots on my peperomia! YIKES. I’ve been very consistent with watering and light. But now how do I get more root growth? Or what do I do?

Hi everyone! New here. I'm going away for 10 days, most of the recommendations here is to water every week. Should I water more then usual before leaving or just wait until I come back and continue?

Anyone know what this is? It’s a random bulb I found in my cabinet. I’ve had it in water and the yellow leaves turned green and I’m about to put it up cause the bulb is getting squishy but I have no clue what it could be!

Hey all! I have this Purple Heart spiderwort I got from my aunt as a cutting back in April that I had propagated, and it’s been growing very well. I had the chopstick in to keep it growing vertically but noticed it was growing tall and thin. She said they normally grow down and hang so I didn’t have to keep it propped up. Well, I can’t keep it propped up anymore unless I tie it. I’m wondering what the normal characteristic/look of this plant is? Do I let it hang? It’s just one piece so I think that’ll look weird. Can I cut at the stem to propagate more pieces of the plant to grow? I’d appreciate any help or advice how/what to do with this plant moving forward. Thanks!

Super yellow leaves… looks like it’s mostly bottom leaves… not sure if that’s significant. Whats wrong? It has a humidifier.

Alright folks - is this a root growing 8 inches up my ficus elastica burgundy? I put keiki paste on the growth point next to it many months ago in hope of a branch (my doggo broke a leaf off there and it looks really bare). That obviously didn’t happen but now this thing is poking out. She’s also grown like 6 new leaves at the top since then. I’ve been debating chopping and propping her - maybe this is the sign to do it? What do you think?

What are you all using to clean your plant leaves? I have several plants whose leaves need cleaning but I’m not sure what to use. I’m hoping to maybe be able to use some stuff I already have around the house instead of having to go to the store again

hi everyone, I needed a little help with my plant right here. It’s a peacock plant. I recently got it and I got some advice to put it over pebbles with water to help with humidity. I also got advice to use filtered water rather than tapwater so I’ve also been watering it with filtered water. However, I do notice that there are a good amount of leaves dried up towards the bottom of the plant. I wanted advice on how to fix this issue so my plan could be healthy. At the same time I’ve also noticed new leaves that have Came out of the plant. For more context to I also live in Southern California. It is currently between 80°F-90°F in the day time. I do have a window AC that i run during the day to keep my room cool. The plant is no in the direct path of the air, it’s about 4feet away near a corner. If anymore context is needed I would greatly answer it, and take any recommendations for how to care better for this plant.
