POV: Your deliciosa wants to touch your obliqua. What would you do? Cut the root at the base of the plant and remove? Cut the tip that resurfaced? Move the tip back in the soil? Let them get touchy feely?

Can anyone identify what plant this is?

I have tried everything I can think of to save this tradescantia I got a month ago but I cannot banish root rot. Help! I brought it home and it began to wilt/lose leaves. That tipped me off to the soil staying too wet, so I swapped it out with my own potting soil which was airier. But it has still remained too wet and every time I’ve salvaged them, the clippings rot again. Here is my pile of what I could save from a really lovely full original plant (peep the full descent in the plant photos 🫣). What am I missing? I’ve not successfully gotten them to propagate in water. I have rooting hormone. What do I do? 😭

[It’s a follow up on my earlier post. Thanks a bunch to the folks that responded 😊] Which is the better option to pot your monstera in along with the orchid bark mix? For additional context, my monstera is on a moss pole, and I wanted a mix that was fast draining to avoid root rot. Considering the Tropical Potting Soil mix and the Cactus Palm and Citrus Potting Soil mix. Leaning on the Tropical Potting mix, and I planned on mixing either one with the coarse blend.

Can anyone ID this plant? The label says “CAMELLIA TRANSAR SANENSIS TINY WHITE SINGLE”, which doesn’t seem right. I thought it might be a tea plant at first (Camellia sinensis), but the flower buds are red not white. Maybe Camellia japonica?

i just saw an instagram reel about how if your snake plant doesn’t have the pointed tip, it won’t grow ?! does anyone know if this is true? i do wonder because i’ve had one since july and there are a few leaves with no tip and they’ve stayed the same size 😳😳 tagging my plant for reference

I went to Home Depot for potting soil and ended up coming home with this as well lol. Planta says this is a Coffee plant and is difficult to keep. We shall see. I will try my best to keep it healthy. Any one else have this plant? Suggestions?

My philodendron Rio is reverting. Newest growths are missing the signature white stripes. They probably need more light. It lives on a north facing window getting moderate light since autumn. So, I’m not surprised it’s reverting. It looks like a philodendron Micans. I will cut off the top stems with the solid colored leaves hoping the new growth will be striped. It’s in the original 3 inch pot placed inside a 4 inch ceramic pot. A meat skewer and plant clips keeps it vertical to fit on the window sill. I typically water about once every 5 to 7 days in winter. So, it’s under watered a bit. But, it’s still slowly growing. I will repot in a month when I can take it back outside.

Note that I posted this last week with 0 images that showed that I’m talking about. Ahem. A note on ID’ing plants because the more I know, the bigger my imagination and mental database becomes, and I often overthink. I see what I want to see. Because they are (for me, for the experts in forums) wicked hard to pick out of a line-up with other species in the genus - and other genera - I tend to confuse Copiapoa with a couple plants, the Mammillaria compressa in particular. It’s a cool cactus, but not Copiapoa… I THINK. I’m still not 100% this is M compressa until it gets more color and grows a bit, but this is the super subtle tip-off so far. That squiggly areole. (I like thinking about how, for example, seeds from Mexico made it to Chile and what popped out evolved just slightly enough to accommodate the new climate.) Also, my tips for ID: figure out more or less the genus, search Etsy. If I don’t know the exact species yet, I go to places such as Mountain Crest Gardens and Planet Desert for more info. I love Llifle dot com, but the thumbnails of cactus often show a mature, flowering plant or a 50-year old columnar. That site is amazing if you’re looking to identify your Lithops, though. Examples of Copiapoa provided for reference lol.

Or should still Completely upsize/Give it the Correct Shaped pot for it with the moss(coir) pole?
