I got this peace lily from my Grandfathers funeral. I have never owned a plant before. Well, it’s not going well.
My soil is damp. I water every 7 days. I just put it closer to a window. It’s a very sad plant.
Does anyone know what I should do?
Also, this week a worm climbed out of it, so I think that may have something to do with it.

New to the plant parent life and I’ve decided if this is my mid-life crisis I’ll take it!
It all started with Hector. A spider plant cutting I was convinced I would kill. I always joked I had the black thumb of death with plants. Looks like my Great-Grandpas green genes finally kicked in!
Hector is 4 now and he’s had plenty of babies I’ve successfully propagated and gifted. He’s now joined by multiple siblings!

My Money tree doesn’t seem to be doing that well. It’s lost quite a bit of leaves, but has new growth. I would like it to fill in more but I am perplexed on how to get it to grow better.

Hi!
Would I be able to cut and propagate any part of this Monstera Albo?

I just got this pothos plant a couple days ago, and I’m wondering the best way to take care of it, especially for watering! I’m almost completely new to gardening, and I’ve heard a couple different recommendations for how to water and I’m not sure which method to use.
Method 1: spray bottle + bottom watering when the plant is dry in the top 2 inches
Method 2: just bottom watering
Question: is it better to water a pothos when it is completely dried out or just the top 2 inches? I’ve heard both.

If your fiddle fig isn’t thriving, don’t be afraid to chop it. I made sure to give her a little extra fertilizer for 2 waterings before i made the chop. It took her a few weeks to show growth but once she did, she exploded. Can’t wait to see how big she will get now! #trusttheprocess
Kate
Her growth in just a week! Super excited💓

IKEA plant parenting hack here😎
This $5 shoe rack and $5 accompanying tray is the best low cost, low mess apparatus I’ve found for the soak part of the “soak & dry” method for watering cacti/succulents!! it’s huge & the tray catches all of the drippage from the grated rack. the setup is also great for letting the excess water drip out from bottom watering your houseplants! hope this comes in handy!🌿♥️

Well this is my Walmart rescue that I got when she was a baby , unfortunately had a long road trip for a move and this is the outcome does anyone have recommendations? Please would love to keep her if possible . The extremely droppy leaf is literally the newest leaf that didn’t harden yet 😩 I wanna trim her down but not sure where to cut at ?

Hey plant community !
Just bought this gorgeous monstera but I want to repot her she has roots coming out of the bottom of the pot. My big question is if I should split her? Does it look like they put two in one pot ?
Amateur plant mama
To repot together or leave individual? They all used to be in a pot together thriving. Then moved them into a pot which was too big and then they ended up separated. I kind of want them all in one pot again but will they eventually choke out the other roots systems? Or compete for space? What to do what to do.

Upgrading my monsteras home atm. She has a real moss pole now lol, as well as chunky soil. Hope she does a lot better🤞🏼

One of my absolute favorites in my collection! He's been knocked down, leaves torn, broken in half, and moved across the state. He always comes back bigger and stronger. This is the biggest he's ever been and I'm such a proud mama.

I’ve started my first avocado tree 🥑 however I did accidentally snap the root but it’s started to grow again white so hopefully she’s still going to grow 🪴

Plant holiday 🌱 Who else doesn't like to ask someone to look after their plants? Last summer I left all my little plants and cuttings in a container on top of a wet towel with the cover on top with just a small gap for fresh air. They really looked stunning when I arrived home three weeks later! Can't wait to see how these are doing in a couple of weeks!
