Any reason my pilea bottom leaves would be drooping so much? I recently repotted him as his soil was staying moist for too long. He was doing well after the repot but now seems to be drooping again 🥲 added second picture from before for reference.
does anyone know what is happening to my plant please?
Good morning planties! I was curious and wanted to make a Friday poll to see where everyone falls on the plant parent spectrum! 🪴🌱💚 So, are you more of a helicopter plant parent, watering your plants more than they might need? 🚁 Or, are you a hands off plant parent and when you think about watering them, you give them an extra few days because “they can make it” lol? 🌵 Comment down below or use either emoji 😊
I am going to try to plant a dandelion in a pot Ang grow it from seed does anyone have any experience/ recommendations on how to grow it and keep it alive
So last May I bought a 1” pot with a China doll seedling. There were 6 teeny plants and only one has survived. It is growing well but since this is the first time I have had one I’m not sure if everything is alright. My grandfather had a rather large one that was really full so that is what I am used to seeing but it was a mature tree. This one keeps sending out new branches from the main stem on the top but every time they get super leggy. Just recently it has started pushing growth from the main branch at the bottom of the plant and “filling it” but it just seems a very odd way to grow. I have it on a table under a grow light in my kitchen it gets a small amount of filtered sunlight from a window with a covered porch outside but the light is on about 18 hours a day. Does anyone have experience with these plants? It gets regular watering and fertilizer and misting. Am I doing something wrong or is this how they normally grow?
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong with this orchid? I'm new to plant and orchid care. It's in bright indirect light all day and I water it according to the Planta schedule. It's still in the individual plastic cups with drainage. Everyday day the yellowing gets a little worse and I think it's starting on other leaves too.
I dropped my pride and joy today (dang you wrist surgery). I’m heartbroken but I guess now I can sell the cuttings. 😭
Hi what is this plant? planta identifies it as a jade
My Maranta Leuconeura has looked perpetually uncomfortable but is somehow still thriving (growing new leaves). I don't get her deal. Can anyone with some experience tell me if this is normal and she's doing okay?
I turned my prop box into a mini greenhouse. The props seem to like it, they are rooting well. I added a heating seed starter mat underneath, the T5 light bar I bought cord extensions off Amazon so I had more reach.
I moved to a new area about 6 months ago and I dropped my huge peperomia and I saved a little. I ended up propagating it and got some beautiful roots. I potted it in July and it’s barely grown and now it just doesn’t look happy anymore. Any advice? I’ve grown two new leaves which is promising but she could use some advice to stay alive. The blue pot is a picture I took today and the dog pot was in July. Same nursery pot I planted in them in when I planted them from cuttings.
So I posted about this a while back and promised I’d give an update. About a month ago I took these two rubber plants that were in the same pot and repotted them separately hoping the one on the right would benefit a little. Well, the left one is really taking off but the right one still hasn’t performed. Why won’t it give me a new leaf? It’s looked like that for about 6 months already …
New plant lets are growing amazingly! (Tiny one was the second to sprout idk why it has no progress btw I planted 3 seeds)
I need to leave my plants, and will be putting them in groups where I can use a larger plant light. Does anybody have experience with these LBW grow lights? Any other recommendations? TIA.…🤗💚🪴
Hi plant friends! I could use some encouragement this morning. This week I discovered two formerly thriving plants have spider mites - my string of pearls is one of them 😭 I’m so sad because she was doing so well. One of my African violets is struggling, and I just saw that my Hoya compacta has wrinkled leaves and dropped some. I’m treating them and trying not to panic, so I’m not looking for advice there. But this is bringing up the old stories like I kill plants, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t deserve plants. So I’d be grateful if y’all would share how you overcome plant challenges and allllll the feelings. Sharing a pic of the gorgeous new leaf on my billietiae to encourage myself 😂
My green corner lit by a $4 60 watt dollarama grow light bulb in a vintage desk lamp. The five onion bulbs planted in the pot in the second photo are the bulbs of bunch-flowered daffodils (narcissus tazetta).
stopped at a local plant shop and they had one of my wishlist plants!! acquired this stunning dieffenbachia cool beauty 😍😍
My linearis finally in recovery after a repot gone wrong 😆 almost thought I lost her there for a sec, glad she still with us🥹
This here is, ZEBBY; that’s what I call her. She’s a pill and a half, as many of you know who love Calatheas. I’ve been having trouble with the edges of her leaves turning brown; I assume it’s because she’s not getting enough humidity. However, I have a humidifier within 12 feet of her that stays between 50 and 60% humidity. I spritz her regularly; don’t know if that helps or not. And just recently, I put humidity tray under her. I’m noticing that the tray gets a yucky yellow orange color around the edges of the water. I’m wondering if I could put a couple drops of bleach in the water to help keep the tray clean. WILL ANY FUMES FROM THE BLEACH HARM MY PLANT? I know I’d only be putting a couple drops in the water, but you all know how Calatheas are… picky, picky, picky…🙄! Also, those of you who tend to these “ Sarah Bernhardts”, I’d love to hear any care advice you may have gathered over the long-haul raising these drama queens. TIA. 🤗💚🪴
Does anyone have grow light recommendations? If at all possible I would prefer to have something that is functional but also nice looking. Thanks!
