Biggest learning curve as a plant lady is recognizing when bigger is not always better with pots!
Almost killed my poor Dracaena sticking her in a 12 inch pot when she only needed 6” after looking at the root ball😭 I was wondering why her soil wasn’t drying out at all after a month…oops 😬⚰️
What have you all learned over time?! All advice welcome with any plants!⬇️⬇️

New plants! Satin pothos, Calathea & begonia rex! Check out the nursery section next time you're at lowes- these three were $5 each!!

Hi all! I was gifted this little monstera. She’s thriving and has new leaf growth (that top one is new!). But you can see that she’s hanging on by a thread with a long leggy stem. Do I cut her and propagate so she’s more stable? Leave it alone? Many thanks!

What is it on my plant and what do I do to get rid of it?

Just curious I do not really understand. This site says to fertilize one day and water the next, but liquid fertilizer says to mix with water. What to do?

Not exactly a plant post… I went off social media last year but this community has been so great to scratch the social media itch! Everyone is so positive and supportive. It’s amazing! Thanks everyone!!!
Here’s a pic of the growth on my Dracaena Janet Craig propagation in appreciation!

Does anyone use cala mag for their house plants anytime I try and look up information it seems like I only can find information for vegetables or other non house plant plant

I’m a new monstera parent, and have been noticing a strange pattern. Every evening I’m seeing drops of water form on the leaves and stems even though I haven’t added any additional water. Is this normal? She is placed in a south facing window with indirect light and some direct sun. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

Hiya! I cut this Caladium leaf from my bottle rocket because it was Browning a lot, I'm not exactly sure why but I still cut it since it's the only Browning leaf. I'm wondering if I could propagate this. I keep seeing posts about tuber cells and I'm really not sure what those are. I just want to know if I can propogate and how to know if I have tuber cells

Hey guys! I’m in yolo county, California, and it’s really hot here. I water my plants regularly following a 3 day schedule, but I think my plants are still having a hard time with the heat despite me moving them to partial shade for 3-6 hrs of sun. Should I up the frequency of water? Should I gently spray them on the two days I don’t water them? I don’t want to over water them and drown them, but my plants don’t seem to be enjoying global warming.
Any tips?

Is my Crassula ready to move from this 2” pot to a 4”?

Need your ideas!
I have a really nice home office (left) and a bunch of adored and pampered plants (red outlines). But the plants just feel kind of scattered around rather than attractively grouped. Also, the plants on the windowsill make it hard to close the blinds when it's sunny. And the window is fairly high (maybe 42" up) so there's a lot of space below the window that's not plant-friendly.
Some of you have amazing lush green setups. Help me make this gorgeous!
Ideas I had:
• put a high table next to the desk (left blue area)
• add a shelf extension to move the plants remaining on the windowsill away from the blinds (right blue area)
Tell me your creative ideas!!

Is this a raven zz? And is it okay to leave it outside under my covered patio, we live in Houston, TX. And any care tips to encourage growth?

Hi. I moved back home and my mom has a fig tree. It looks kind of…. Sad. Should we repot? Soil is pretty dense and hydrophobic. Also should we chop and prop? And if yes should we leave any stems or just do a clean chop? Any advice appreciated

Hello! I have this gorgeous anthurium I got a few months back. A few leaves have grown, but I wanted some tips on best supporting it. Should I cut off the lower small leaves to leave room for bigger growth?

How do I fight pests? I lose, generally, but I have kept my gnats minimal with Mosquito Bits tea. For mealiebugs, well this is the only thing that seems to work for a while. 750 ladybugs, running around my kitchen.
