Expert Help Needed 🪴Can anyone ID this plant? I think it’s an Aglaonema. Leaves are dark green with pale pink edges and stems.

I’m ready to give up on moss poles. I use a watering bulb on them. Which is a mess to just get positioned correctly without water dripping everywhere. Another poster used plastic cups with holes in it on the top of the pole. Sounds like a great idea but don’t know if I want to try it at this point. I have Treleaf trellises on a few plants. They look great but have not had long to know if the plants will attach to them. The company said they will and without misting the trellis. I’m too the point of wanting to get rid of the plants with poles. This part is a chore and not a fun hobby. Besides the pic plants I have a Cebu Blue that is even larger. Guess I’m just venting and in the process of deciding what to do. Tomorrow I may have totally different attitude towards it all .

Trying to pick a name for this beauty. It’s hard to capture the color of the leaves accurately on camera for whatever reason, but they’re actually a very deep, moody plum purple. She’s quite the lovely goth girl, so I’m debating over a couple of names for her. So far I’ve got Valerie, Erica/Erika, Nora, Raven, Simone, and Naomi, but I’d love to hear anyone suggestions. For anyone interested in picking one up, she’s a peperomia caperata ‘red luna’ that I bought on Sunday from Ott’s Exotic Plants. TIA!

Any tips for repotting a string of pearl? She fell last week and needs to be rehabbed. Never been repotted. Some of the strings came loose and I tried to poke them back into the soil but I haven’t been successful plus the nursery pot now has a crack in it. Any advice would be appreciated!

👋 Plant Newbie here, does it bother anyone else when your plant site has an odd number! It makes it so tempting to just go buy another plant! 😂🪴

Do I cut my Umbrella Palm down when it gets cold outside; it’s in a pot, so I will bring it inside for the winter. Mary

Hey guys! Do y’all have any care tips for the Alocasia melo plant? I just got one and I’ve never had an Alocasia before so I’m scared haha! Thank y’all💚

Nervous. As of this week I am caretaker of two large hibiscus for a friend who is out of country for an extended time. She’s clearly ready to be up potted. I know this isn’t the ideal time of year to repot. 1) what kind of soil mixture should I use? 2) anything else I should know? I really don’t want to stress or damage them! Thanks in advance.

Here’s a poll question for you all - do you research your plants before buying, or do you find a pretty plant and say “yep, that one’s mine!” And hope for the best with plant care?

Ugh 😩 did I mess up again? I bought this lipstick plant on Sunday on a road trip home. I put it in my laundry room (one window). Yesterday I repotted it into a hanging planter for the purposes of hanging in my bathroom in front of the window. The pot it came in and the pot I planted it in, were roughly the same size, slightly different taper on top. Needless to say I did have to smoosh it in there a teensy bit. It was already very wet so I did not water it except for just trying to clean off the pot. I wake up this morning and half of its leaves are black and curly. I tipped it over, no water ran out. I tried to dab at the soil with tissues, but it didn’t soak up any water. Removed any leaves that were 80% black. Please tell me I haven’t murdered my brand new plant. I added photos of the before, the leaves, after, and then after I removed all the leaves.

My Peace Lily has been giving me huge flowers for months... I got a little burn on the leaves but that's because it was too close to the window just moved it. Key is lots of light and don't use tap water, always condition the water.

Curious when sone 6 people usually brings their houseplants inside for the winter. I think I’ll do it this week - low of 39 Wednesday, just wondering if anyone else has a rule of thumb.

this is my dad’s plant, neither of us can identify it but it’s apparently constantly droopy like this, no matter if he waters it or not. does anyone have any advice to give him so that he doesn’t have to let it go 😭🙏
