I was weeding my front flowerbeds a couple of weeks ago when I ran across a “weed” that had a familiar tri-lobed leaf shape. Three days prior to that I had purchased maypops for a trellis I was planning for the back yard so recognized the leaf immediately. Sure enough, the weed turned out to be a “gift” from the birds. I dug it up and potted it. It got really droopy and I was sure I left too many of it roots in the ground when I dug it up. Last week I was gone for about 5 days and came home to a plant that had doubled in size and is actually doing better than the cuttings that I had paid for!

Polka Dot Plant question: I repotted this plant a few weeks ago from its 2” nursery pot to this ceramic one. I’ve kept it watered according to the schedule and have read it needs low light to keep its variegation. But it seems to be struggling with losing/wilting leaves, etc and I’m not sure why. Any suggestions??

Found this bug on my succulents and I have no idea what it is! Can anyone help identify it? Is it harmful to my plants?

Hey! I’ve been caring for my plants for about 2 years now and I’ve never used any fertiliser or plant food. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations that are good for all plants? Thanks:)

When doing progress updates, it won’t let me add under ‘worth noticing’. Is this happening to anyone else?

Does anyone know why my bamboo is turning yellow on the side?

I have discovered that bottom watering plants is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS since I have so many plants that need to be watered every day. It just blows my mind because it makes watering so easy and much less tedious! One question; I’m using this method for my moisture loving plants, BUT, can I use the same method for plants like corn plants, pathos, or anything that needs to be totally dry before I water it? Normally I would use a wooden stake to check for moisture levels in these plants to see if they are completely dry.
CAN I BOTTOM WATER PLANTS like these THAT NORMALLY LIKE TO DRY OUT COMPLETELY? TIA for any return posts. 🤗💚🪴
PS. Here’s a few of my plants that like to dry out completely, and there’s more, 😵💫!

Hi all! I wanted to ask a general question regarding moss poles. I’ve currently got a D-shaped moss pole that i water around every 3-5 days. How long does it usually take to see a noticeable increase in leaf size? For reference this is a pothos njoy/pearls and jade. Pic was taken about a week ago and roots are well attached now and stem is thickening.

is there a better time of year to repot plants? I have some plants that are growing so well but their pots are looking pretty small. I don’t want to disturb the growing season. or have them go into shock while they’re using the energy to make new leaves.

Should I use Miracle Gro Protects against over and under watering soil for my aloe vera or should I trade it for Miracle Gro Succulent soil?

Quick question. If my potting soil has fertilizer beads already in it and claim to feed for 6 months, is it necessary to still use my liquid fertilizer? I use the miracle gro houseplant mix and the miracle gro succulent soil (NOT the palm citrus one. I’ve had too many gnats with that). The liquid is the miracle gro one where you squirt it in and done. Just wondering as this thought just popped in my head. 🤣
