For those of us in the southeastern US facing an upcoming ice storm that’s predicted to have extended power outages along with low temperatures (well below freezing): any creative ideas for keeping tropical houseplants alive in the cold? We have a small living room with a fireplace and so far my best plan is to move as many of my plants in there as possible without getting too close to the fire, but I may not have enough room. Unfortunately it is too late to get any kind of generator or battery powered space heaters.

Found a variegated Aeschynanthus lobbianus at The Rhoads Garden today. Sadly decided to leave it behind for someone else since it wasn’t in the greatest condition, but if anyone has one of these, I’d love to see how they look once more mature or blooming 😊 Feel free to turn this into a thread to share any of your goldfish or lipstick plants 🌸

Just received my first African violet baby, I can’t wait to see the progress and growth of Iris (that’s her name like the goddess she is). Any tips for the first of arrival? I’m not repotting anytime soon.

I’m a new plant mom who’s looking for any helpful suggestions to be a successful one!! Bob my ponytail palm was my first plant baybe but since getting him I’ve collected quite a lot for a beginner!! So again I’d love some of y’all to share some knowledge about plants and caring for them!!

I’ve had this rubber plant for several years, during which time it’s grown from a baby plant to over 5 feet/1.5 meters tall. Recently the older, larger leaves like this one have developed these brown patches and begun falling off. Is this to be expected, or should I be concerned about sun exposure, or over or under watering? If it’s helpful, it’s also been in the same pot for several years.

Help this is my first time I got baby snakes. I have several questions
1. How big should they be when I plant them?
2. Do I leave them attached to momma?
3. If I do take them off momma will she grow more babies?
4. Could I cut the momma in smaller pieces to start a few more?
Thanks for any help

My peperomia is sick and I’m really not sure what’s going on. I originally planted it in a pot that was too big, which was what started the leaves drooping and dying. Yesterday I moved it into a smaller pot with better drainage - and the roots looked really good. Is there anything else I can do it for it to help it recover?

My poor Christmas cactus is desperately trying to tell me something, but our wires seem to always be crossed. It's a section from my grandmother's plant, so I'm quite attached to it, but even when following all the instructions and schedules on the app, this girl just isn't happy. I'm afraid I'm going to lose it...
It's in a north facing window, but above the window itself, so it isn't getting direct light...

Hi I bought two plants from this Planta app and they arrived 2 weeks late and dead. Does anyone on here know how to request a refund or anything? Thanks in advance!

My new White Bird of Paradise! I’m in love with it and just noticed those tiny baby leaves 🌱 growing out of the soil. Curious to know if anyone knows what they are? :) thanks!

What do y’all do about dark corners with no outlets for grow lights? I’m thinking I’m going to have to run extension cords everywhere. I e been looking for rechargeable grow lights. Any suggestions?

My peace Lilly had root rot and I repotted it over 4 days ago where I cut away the bad roots and cleaned out the old soil and repotted it with new soil. The leaves are still telling me my peace Lilly is sad and I’m not sure what to do
