Hi! Does anyone know what type of plants these are? I just got them today and am completely lost. Thanks!

Growth Question: I have a nepenthes dyeriana that’s put out two new leaves within the past month, but the pitchers aren’t growing. I can see they are formed, but they are staying immature, and the most recent leaf is starting to fold like a taco. I’m thinking I’m low on light or humidity. It’s in my shower with a humidifier as well, so I don’t think it ever dips below 70%. As for light, it’s about a foot away from a 24 watt full spectrum light, and gets 12 hours of light a day.

Got a question for the avid gardeners on here. What’s the best thing/method to get pollen stains out of white shirts? Made the mistake of checking out the new blooms in my raised bed of lilies and now I’ve got bright orange pollen on my sleeves. 😅 Thanks in advance for any help in getting them out. Don’t wanna risk setting the stain on this one. It’s kinda my favorite shirt.

Update on our 1st Hibiscus🌺

***UPDATE*** I went to Johnsons Garden Center and spoke with them about the situation with my beautiful monstera. He recommended soaking her in peroxide for 15 minutes and let it foam up and then rinse off. It worked perfectly no more smell or anything. I am putting her in lecca for now and see how she does.🙏 Thank you everyone for all of your recommendations! Needing help! I am fairly new to the plant world and need help! I have purchased a 26” tall Thai Constellation that was grown completely in an hydro/aquarium environment. Her aquarium broke and she had to rehome this Thai plant. She said that I can keep it in water or transfer it to soil (my preferred method is soil). However, the water HAS to be changed out every 3 days max. I can not even describe how disgusting the smell is and the slim build-up after 3 days.🤮 I did cut off the softer, longer roots. Can I cut off the root mass hanging on? Or will that kill the plant? It is only one plant and can not be split up. She has at least 7-8 new ones starting to show. The leaves are absolutely huge and gorgeous, hence why I wanted her so bad. Can anyone offer recommendations on transferring her to soil or a better way to keep her in water without having an aquarium? Thank you for any help you can provide.💚🍃🪴

Was feeling a bit cheeky 🤭 and stopped at my local Squires garden centre and bought a couple of Rex begonias… and some terrariums 😭✨ Absolute love them! Now I know begonias aren’t really “full terrarium plants,” but I just couldn’t resist. I’m not even that into begonias normally — I’ve only got one in my collection (the maculata* 👀) — but once I saw these little beauties I literally couldn’t pass up the opportunity for my experiment 🌿💚 I’ve been really into terrariums lately but never actually had the chance to properly make one, so my impulses definitely got the best of me… and I splurged 😅💸 (side note: why are big empty glass containers SO expensive?? Who knew?!) But honestly, I loved it. Getting my hands dirty and creating a little world of my own felt so satisfying 🪴✨ I even added some Smiskis in for decor so at night they glow and just sit there looking cute as anything 🥹🌙 My maintenance plan for now is basically: • wiping off excess condensation 💧 • airing out the cork terrariums every now and then 🌬️ But I just love them already!! I even popped in a few corms and my dormant anthurium (no clue what type tbh 😭). Two of the corms did go mouldy 😬 but honestly I’m not too bothered — I’ve moved on from my alocasia madness anyway, it was more of an experiment than anything. And the BEST bit — my dormant anthurium/corm thingy has gone all green!! 💚 so I know she’s coming back to life, which is so exciting!! I chose begonias mainly because I find just moss + fittonias a bit boring (sorry 😭 unpopular opinion I know). I just don’t find fittonias cute at all 🫣 BUT a fern… now THAT I could get behind 🌿✨ I just didn’t manage to find any at my garden centre this time. Anyway!! Please enjoy the mental plant chaos and feel free to drop any tips, advice, or other plant ideas I could use in a terrarium 🥰🪴💫

I was given an old prickly pear cactus that had been dropped and broken and just placed back in soil. I ended up repotting all the pieces in a pot and hoping for the best. Eventually they started getting sprouts but those sprouts just keep getting longer and longer and I’m worried it’s never going to get wider to be able to support itself!! Has anyone seen anything like this? Is it normal? Is there anything I should do? Overall it seems so happy but I don’t know what’s going on😂

I am planning on repotting my snake plant this weekend. Should I separate out the new baby that’s peaking up? Very new to indoor plants so not sure the best to transplant this.

I got this monster of an Alocasia at my local nursery, and it was listed just as “Alocasia”. I was wondering if any of y’all had any idea which variety it was? P.S. can y’all believe she was on sale for $35!!!

After I cut some big stems to propagate, all these little baby leaves have popped up. Should I cut these so the energy goes to the big stems or leave them?

Hello! I got this pony tail palm or whatever it is called from ikea awhile ago, I am wondering how I should repot it next time (and if anyone has any suggestions about if it’s due soon to be repotted and what kind of soil, pot, etc.) I made a little dredge to get water away from the trunk, I usually bottom water it and mist it when I mist it other plants. I fertilize every month or so, he has all purpose potting soil and some extra perlite and some rocks in the soil along the bottom to help with drainage. He looks dark around the soil line because I just cleaned off the dirt that was on it from before, it’s usually just normal trunk coloured 😂 Wondering if anyone has any advice for care, hes gotten much bigger than I anticipated and I want him to have a long and prosperous life, so any advice is welcome! Thank you!!!

I have been chosen🤩 Both Alocasias and my Thai Con at the same time🙌 my Frydek Dida Von Tease has been dormant for a year just sitting there with one beautiful leaf that she finally absorbed last week. I can see new shoots forming at the base as well.
