Good afternoon, everyone ☀️ I recently picked up three new houseplants and I’m struggling to name them. The first two are Hoya krohniana, and they’re quite similar, so I was trying to think of two names that could go as a pair, whether that be alliteratively, a good name set for twins, or something to allude to the splashes of white on their leaves, which kinda makes me think of snow. I’m really stumped with those two, so TIA to anyone who can help me name them. The third one is a watermelon dischidia which I’m debating over naming Miles or Milo, so feel free to give your two cents about which name I should pick for that one. TIA!

Peperomia verticillata, cascading down the side of my plant shelf. Do I leave her as is? Provide support? (I don’t even know where I’d start - suggestions welcome!)

Does anyone have any tips on moving a massive bird of paradise? It is on wheels. I let it dry out so it is lighter, and I have help, but she GREW this summer and she’s heavy. Any tips/tricks are appreciated 🥲

Here’s my new baby, Marsha! Went to have my string of pearls repotted because I suspected there was root rot (and there was 😮💨) and of course took a stroll and picked up a new rescue (that’s how I justify buying new plants, like I’m at the animal shelter. lol

I found a satin pothos and pothos n’joy at a plant store a few weeks ago. Their soil was very bad so I repotted them and found out they only have maybe 2-3 inches of roots each. I decided to pot them together because alone the weight of their leaves would topple them over. I really don’t want to cut their leaves off because they are very healthy and pretty. The plant have no health problems and have started to grow many new leaves. Any tips and did I do the right thing?

Hi plant friends! Well, I’m still working away on figuring out the best care for my calathea velvet jungle. There was a couple days I didn’t refill my humidifier so that certainly didn’t help. But then …. Once I’m pretty sure I’m not the right parent for this plant …. A new leaf is coming in!!! The other ones look horrible and I’ve contemplating trimming it all down and starting over. So I guess I’ll see what happens with this new leaf before I decide anything. I’m pretty excited!!

I really love mickey mouse and frydek alocasia but I swore em off because they are perpetually infested. Always spider mites but I have literally found a slug in the middle of winter once which was WILD. How? I have no clue. I dont have the space anyways, but I was wondering if I could see yours. Ill admire from a distance haha.

Hello! I have some baby spider plants I’m propagating! Just wondering how long they need before I can plant them in soil, they’ve been in the water for 10 days so far and they look to be doing well! Can I plant them yet? Also when it comes to planting, I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the size of the nursery pot needed? I have some 3.8Wx3H inch pots I was planning to use, but I’m wondering how lengthy the roots grow and if they may need more space? Thanks in advance!

Let’s all pray to the plant gods….. This plant noob just did 6 repottings: 1- Gold Dust Croton 1- Galaxy False Aralia 1- Blushing Philo 1- Calathea Medallion 1- Calathea Pink Star 1-Corn Plant Lemon Lime The Croton and the Aralia had just outgrown their nursery pots and needed constant watering as they dried out in less than 3 days. Ohhhh the Calatheasss…..the saga continues with them. I “repotted” them the other day. All I did was rework their original soil and put them back in the same pots. No new soil. They were staying wet for too long. Soil had compacted. I checked them this morning, still way too wet. So Ive repotted them again. Their original soil was dense. Looked like soggy Oreos. I put them in new pots, but the same size as their old ones with a much better draining soil mixture. I gave the medallion the Britney Spears haircut as the leaves were dry and brown and weren’t recovering like the pink stars. P.s. I bought 3 more calatheas last night lol The Blushing Philo was purchased last night, along with 9 other plants lol. Her roots were all the way out of her pot, so she needed it for sure. The corn plant- last night while plant shopping (Supposed to be ladder shopping) this corn plant called to me. I pulled him out of his decorative pot, discovered he’s just sitting in water. The smell that came from that water was horrendous. I couldn’t check the roots cause the soil was like liquid at the bottom. I brought it home. Sat it on paper towels over night and replanted it this morning. It smelled soooooo bad. But the roots were fine. I’m hoping they all live after the repottings lol

Just got a Bunch of plants tonight. I have a few that I believe need to be repotted. This one is the blushing philodendron. Roots everywhere. I could not get this one out of the pot. 2nd one is the Aubrey Ficus. This was one of the super super dry ones. Ficus also had a lean to it, I’m figuring cause it’s dying of thirst lol anywho. Do either of these need to be repotted?

Found a Thai con at Walmart for $10! Its largest leaf was broken but it had a new leaf coming. Discount plants the only reason to go to Walmart
