Hey guys! I hope everybody’s having a good evening. I have this Chinese evergreen and as you can tell, she’s a leggy girl. I am looking for advice on making her more bushy, if possible? Could I cut the plant down to those bottom leaves? Then I’d propagate the top and plant it (I’ve done it once before but it grew right back as you can see 🤣) All advice is welcome as I am new to this plant stuff. I don’t wanna kill it. Thanks in advance.
are the facts about watering and lighting on this app pretty accurate?
today was progress picture day & here are a few of my favorite plants atm🥹
Hi! I bought some coco coir on Amazon because I want to try to make my own Aroid soil mix. However, it came in an extremely firmly packed brick with instructions to: - Add water gradually and slowly on top of the brick, letting the brick absorb the water. - Continue this process of adding water as long as the brick continues to absorb the water. - Each brick with absorb approximately 14-16 cups of water. - Stop adding water when the brick absorbs the water. - The coco coir is now ready for planting. Add fertilizer for the plant. So, my plan WAS to whip up soil whenever I needed it by grabbing all of my ingredients and mixing. If I follow the above instructions, can I then store this moist/wet coco coir in a plastic container/bag? Or can this only be done the day of and maybe I should try to use a sharp knife and cut a piece off the end then use the instructions above accordingly. Any help appreciated!
I planted some morning glories seeds for shits and giggles and now they’re actually thriving, and I did NOT expect the seeds to take 😭😭. But needless to say I am EXCITED to have multiple colors of morning glories in my backyard
I rescued this hibiscus from Lowe’s clearance rack a few weeks ago and look at my reward!
Okay y’all, how should I put this pole in my monstera plant? I was thinking of cutting off some and propagate but what’s your opinion??
My Arrowhead was doing so well and giving me new leaves almost daily, it seemed. It’s still producing leaves, although maybe not quite as fast, but they are coming out yellow and brown on the edges. Please see the 2 new small leaves in each pic below. Does anyone know why?
I repotted this and i am hoping i did good! It needed it! Does anyone know the correct name. It comes up as a Ty plant.
Is it time to repot? Any advice will help. This one is new to me.
Hi everyone, I’ve got a monstera which will need a repot soon. I haven’t got a large variety of potting mix so I was just going to use an indoor hour potting mix. What do you all think?
i have what i think is a jelly bean plant. what should i do with this little baby? It’s been growing for about half a year and just grew root a few months ago.
Hi there just got a new African violet and am scared I’m going to kill it 😅 just repotted, anything I should know…?
I rescued an alocasia from Lowe’s clearance rack of death but not sure which one it is any guesses. I don’t own alocasias so tips will also be helpful
Went to take my trash out today and was so surprised to find this by the dumpster!! I believe it’s a bird of paradise, but not 100% sure. Any tips on taking care of them?
Does anyone have recommendations for a leafy houseplant that makes a nice dining table centerpiece? I’ve got this Hydrangea I was gifted there now but it’s not doing well (I’ve always struggled with flowers even though I love them). Something that looks interesting without flowers would be my preference.
Does anyone know why my false shamrock is leaning on the edge of the pot like this?
Is my soil chunky enough? My philodendron is doing really well
Does anyone have any tips on keeping ferns lively and healthy? - types of soil - what kind of light -when to water / mist? I have maidenhair fern, black rabbits foot and a fluffy ruffle! The rabbits food is doing great but the other two don’t seem very happy
