Hi everyone! I just got this Venus Flytrap plant and would much appreciate any advice on how to take care of it. I know that I must water it with distilled or rain water which I have. But should I keep it in this container or take it out? Also how often should I mist it? Also do I have to bottom water it? I do have a grow light which stays on for about 8 hours a day. Is this an adequate amount of light for this plant? I’m doing my own research too but any information helps! Thanks all!
I have been struggling with this calethia since the day I brought her home. First she lost all of her leaves, then I cut her back and now she’s sprouting new leaves, but it’s taking a while. I went ahead and tried to repot her, but when I removed her out of the plastic pot, her soil was waterlogged. I couldn’t take a picture of it because my hands were all muddy. So I put her back in her original pot after stuffing a bunch pumice in between her roots hoping that would dry things out a little bit. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I should also add. I purchased this from a nursery and she is in a 4 inch pot. Moving forward I plan on checking her soil with a water meter because it bothers me that she’s so waterlogged right now.
New to indoor plants. Not sure what I'm doing. Best suggestions?
I’m a beginner in having jalapeños and I need someone help, I bought a small jalapeño plant from a local plant owner in my neighborhood, it’s growing beautifully but when I purchased it had 3 peppers already on it. I’ve had it in the ground already for about a month or so, the 3 peppers were still on it and I wasn’t seeing huge growth in them, there still a light ish green so I decided to take one off, on the inside it’s seeds were majority brown and some regular white colored, as for the taste it didn’t taste like a pepper until I began chewing for a second. Usually with a pepper it’s spicy and taste like it immediately, one more thing is that one of the 3 is slowly turning this weird orange ish brown and I just need to know if there still growing or there going down the path of rotting, there about 4 inches tall and about a grass colored green please let me know I will be forever grateful :)
Another little harvest 😊🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🙏☝️
Can you relocate Curcuma aeruginosa from outside to an inside potted plant?
when should i repot this little guy? it's a depressed clearweed, aka baby's tears. the pot is about 2-3 inches in diameter, and the longest stem is 7 inches long. any info is greatly appreciated!
Survey time! Post a photo of a plant of yours that’s name is Dave or Jeff/Jeffrey. Sorry for duplicate posts.
I’ve had my polka dot plant for about 8 months and have pruned it a couple times and now it looks like this at the top. should I cut the leggy pieces off again and let it grow out or keep it like this?
I’ve never had a string of hearts before but after a couple months mine has given me so much growth and now it’s flowering 🥹 (but just curious, do y’all think this one is leggy? I feel like the leaves are very far apart, unless that’s normal)
Ok sooooo I’m in need of help. One of my two plants sprouted ones a sunflower and one’s a celosia but I can’t tell which is which could you identify this for me ?
I’m doing a little survey. Post a photo of a plant of yours that’s name is Dave.
A friend of mine recommended using blood meal fertilizer for my strawberries to keep critters away. (I had one strawberry and an animal ate it 😩😭) Has anyone used this??
Calling all fellow plant nerds🚨🤓 I got this grow light the other day and woke up this morning to my Hoya stem totally wrapped around the light pole! I am in awe and am so confused on how plants have such spatial awareness! Does anyone know how this works or how they understand their surroundings in order to do something like this?! I’m convinced they have eyes and a brain somewhere now😭
My mother in law got me this stunning calathea from Trader Joe’s. I add her in and Planta gives me this….. thanks for the vote of confidence 😂😳😵
are self-watering pots actually good for plants/do they work…I put water in the section off area of the pot (where the water is supposed to go) in the morning and by 3pm all of it was basically gone(into the plant/dirt)… so is my plant thirsty or is it being overwatered?
Really excited about my pink princess philodendron I got today!! Wanted to share how beautiful she is and hope I can take care of her well 💕✨
Had a little thunderstorm here in got so excited I took all my tropical plants outside so they could feel at home 🫶🏻✨
Any ideas what this plant could be? I got it free so I’m not sure and iPhone lens thinks it’s maybe a Yucca or an Orchid but also got different results? Thanks in advance
Any tips on caring for a basil plant? This is my first one and it’s been quite the journey. It grew tall super fast and now has been falling over. I have some tied to a stick but it’s still leaning a lot & the leaves just always look sad. I’ve had it inside and outside and it’s the same, I’m going to put it in a bigger pot but not sure that will help….
