Hello All and HNY! Can you please advise if you compose banana peel or make banana peel tea for your indoor plants and outdoor gardens. What were the results? Do you use the tea along with “appropriate” fertilizer? I just read an article and I am curious. I live in 6b state and have loamy sand ( which dries out quickly). TY!
Hey plant friends! Does anyone have suggests of how I can frost proof these plants without moving them inside?
A moment of silence for the fallen 🫡 I didn’t have the energy to figure out what your problem was or didn’t see the pests until it was too late
What do you all think about self-watering pots for African Violets? The ceramic type that supposedly only absorbs what it needs. Anyone had success using one? If so, do you keep it full of water all the time or only put in a bit on watering days?
What is this stuff? It must be this season, because all my ficus, of which I have five, have been dropping leaves recently. I’m guessing it’s just that time of year, because this has happened in the past. But this is new. Is it some kind of edema? Whatever it is, it’s making me nervous! TIA… 🤗💚🪴
Hi all! New here and to plants ( indoors) what are good starter plants , mind you I have killed cactus!!
Repotting HELP! I repotted my bella palm about a month ago from this nursery pot to a plastic green pot (Measurements shown). !!! Was this too big of an upsize? And is it too late to put it into a smaller ceramic pot if so?
Hello everyone! I recently got this Ruby Rubber Plant from the clearance section, one of the leafs is damaged as seen in the photo below. Should I keep this leaf or cut it off? Thanks!
I love a good winter with lots of snow, but I'm way too pumped for this coming spring! So what are y'all most excited for next season? I'll go first: I buy those herb containers at the store (basil, rosemary, sage, and chives), but only really use a couple leaves before the rest turn brown. It's about time I have my own herb garden!
Hey plant friends :). So this is my miniature pine tree,, she is looking very sad. I asked plant dr and he’s saying I may have overwatered her so I am going to offer her more light and skip the next watering.. my question to you all is, would you cut the growth off to produce new growth and healthier leaves or should I just prune the dead leaves and leave it alone? Thanks!!
What plant would you recommend for this room? I’m looking for a tall-ish plant (like hip to chest height) that doesn’t mind shade, for on the right of the room. It is a north facing window that receives partial bright light but this is obviously lessened further into the room you get. It will be about 2 meters from the window. (Photos taken early afternoon)
What is the one plant in your collection that you regret getting? I’ll start: Bonnie curly Spider Plant. She looks pretty, but not only do I have frequent brown tips, but she is so dense at the base with all the curls, it’s impossible to see where you are watering and trying to clean dead leaves out.
Will a ZZ plant grow here? This is an east facing window but close to another house so shaded light and no direct light.
Back when I first got into a bit ‘harder’ plants, I bought one of these and it immediately kneeled over and died (I didn’t know what I was doing with it). Never did it ‘pray’ (where the leaves go up at night) even once. Fast forward to now after having more experience with calatheas, alocasias, etc, I bought another yesterday and in the day, it progressively got droopier which I worried about but now that the sun has set and the lights have come off, the leaves are coming up again! It’s praying - it’s alive!!!! I just hope it stays alive lol. ‘Prayer plant’ for all the prayers that it stays alive.
hey guys! happy new year!! i’ve had this flaming katy for a few months now and this is its second time giving me flowers. the first time they were all solid pink, and this time i have a couple clumps that are covered in these white spots. i’m a fairly new plant mom, so i have no idea what this means lol. is it normal? is something wrong with her? please help!!
I was surprised to see a bud in my Chinese evergreen. I didn’t know they bloomed. I read in several places that you should cut the blooms off because the plant will put all its energy into the flower. Is this true? Does anyone have experience with this?
I’m so excited about this Audrey Ficus water propagation!! The leaves are starting to feel “gritty” and getting a few brown spots though.. But too soon to transition to soil right? Help!
Anyone got recommendations for the best fertilizers for hoyas and orchids?
Happy new year everyone! orchids are a great gift for fellow Plant lovers
I’m a little afraid of my Hoya 🤦🏼♀️ I’ve had it hanging in a south facing window but it’s so cold I moved it today. Has anyone had success using a grow light with them?
