Good morning… Please help… This is a birds of paradise… Not sure if this is just because it was dry. I did water it yesterday, but it is still curled up…

My office plants sit under a grow light and are plenty happy, but occasionally when the sun is out I pop them on the windowsill for the day. I had a sudden worry, though, about whether plants need consistency over a nice burst of sunlight. They can’t live on the windowsill because of the shutters and I’m not going to move them back and forth every day. So, is the occasional day of natural light beneficial? Thanks! X

Left my little pilea peperomiodes for a week and it’s dropping like crazy, but worried I overwatered! From the photo can anyone tell what I did wrong or how to fix the little guy? TIA 🙏🏼

My polka dot plant was full and bushy when I got it. In about 2-3 weeks it’s grown a lot, but I see it commonly becomes leggy… so I’m wondering should I just keep cutting it back? To keep it bushy? Any tips? Also, I’ve read it’s very difficult I’d not impossible to propagate. True in your experience?

I need yalls opinion!!! Should I chop and prop to make this plant more full or leave it on the trellis? It’s doing really well right now but it’s so bald and it’s literally only two stems.

Someone please help 😭 I’m about to lose my mind 😅 I had mealybugs maybe a month or so ago.. treated twice and plants were good. Yesterday I saw some streaks on my bamboo plant. While inspecting other plants, I saw white spots on my monstera. I used alcohol and it seemed to turn brown (like mealy). Butttt today I look and there are all these white flakey things. Very very tiny. I thought maybe another bug? Whiteflies? Aphid skin? Weird thing is they seemed to pop out more since spaying the insecticidal soap last night, less than 24 hrs ago. I have no idea.. can anyone tell?? Pleaseeee, thank you!!!! 🙏

Hi. I’m not sure what’s wrong with my plant. Do I need to repot it?
rae
where are the best places you’ve found to get well-draining (and yet pretty) pots? it’s probably time for me to rehome everybody again.

rae
so… is there any way to get my orchid to survive? it’s leaves are very healthy, just a bit of damage in some spots from direct sun contact when i was a little careless. please leave any tips for reviving it and repotting it!!! it used to be in a glass jar with a mix of large/small rocks and dirt, which i saw as a rec for them but am now thinking it isn’t good enough.

I recently reported and relocated my avocado tree and it looks terrible now. Leaves have browned and fallen off. I’ve read to cut it back 1/3 to encourage new growth but I’m so nervous about doing that and doing it properly. Can someone please provide some advice on where to go from here. I’ve grown it from a seed over the past 2 years…not ready to give up on her. Thanks!!

It’s been 2 yrs since I bought this spider plant and finally I’m seeing the little spider stem growing from the middle. So happy!

Hi all! I’m a new plant mom 😀 Last week I was given this monstera to save. I cut off the brown ends of the smaller leaves and watered with purived fertilizer. I’ve had her on an east facing window the last 2 days and just now noticed a new leaf! 😊 In the soil she’s kind of flimsy and leaning to the side. Is that normal? I would also like to know if I should repot to a bigger pot? Thanks!

Ms. Calathea Dottie developed green spots where the stem meets the leaves. It also developed a couple of brown spots on one of the leaves. Any suggestions as to why it is happening? Thank you!
Janet
My Zz plant leaves are turning a yellow brown, can someone help? I used Captain Jacks Deadbug once I seen a leaf being cut…see pic. Now more leaves are turning brown. I water according to Planta app.

Hi! Does anyone have any ideas why an African violet does not hold up their flowers? I have it in a green house cabinet, and it does have a fan in there. Appreciate the help!

How do you clean your plants? Most of the time I use a damp paper towel. I know some folks shine their leaves. What do you use?
