Hello, I have a Peace Lilly that had been struggling for months… A few weeks ago I moved her to my office near a grow light and she started taking off! big new beautiful leaves, flowers and just all around thriving… I checked her cache pot today and found springtails jumping around… Internet says they’re beneficial, And the plant is thriving like never before.. do I leave them?? Will they spread to my other plants? It is messing with me knowing they’re there.. I’m feeling itchy. lol.

Has anyone tried to keep their potted zonal geraniums year round? If so, how did you prepare them for colder months?

does anyone know what this spot is? last time i had it it kept spreading throughout the leaf. my alocasia also hasnt produced any new leaves and the soil takes longer to dry out

Hello Plant Mommies and Daddies! I wanted to show you all a few combos I put together a few months ago! My pink and white/silver nerve plant and my Thai and a pothos. As well as, this cutest geode I put my spiders in and a new leaf from my Monstera💚✨🪴

I bought a lipstick plant about 2 months ago, maybe more. Some of the stems coming out the soil were very lose and came out very easily, the roots weren’t secure at all, so I just took them out. The plant has been growing AMAZINGLY for me. But I was testing the soil moisture and noticed one was very very lose and it just came out with no resistance. Any ideas as to why? It wasn’t dying or anything. I could put it back in with no issues, but if the roots aren’t secure in the soil after 2 months then what’s the point?

What types of plants do hummingbirds like? I have these two hummingbirds that perch everyday on this Bird of Paradise tree outside my window (it's the cutest thing ever) and I want to get more plants for my balcony along with a feeder. Any suggestions?

Enjoy this timelapse of my marantas 🍃🕰️ I found a Triostar on fb marketplace + Rattlesnake at a local owned plant store after filming this, so I guess I need a sequel!

HELP thrips ? Sticky diffenbachia. But leaves seems fine. I don’t think it’s mealy. It’s like clear pearls of residue… TIA !

Note to self: Do NOT put the sticky traps in your plant in the summertime. South Carolina has a very large lizard population. 🦎 I forgot to remove a sticky pad when I put my plants out this year. I was able to save this little guy, but unfortunately, a teeny baby that got caught on another trap didn’t make it. I feel absolutely horrible about it. 💔

Hello I’ve been noticing these little white specs under the leaves of my begonia. Not sure what it is, but I’ve been spraying down with neem oil like every two days, rinsed the leaves so many times && they just keep coming back. Any idea what it could be ?

Hello! It’s getting chilly down here in South Carolina. Friday night is expected to get down around 50°F, and the overnight temperatures are going to keep dipping over the next few days. What plants should I be considering bringing inside from the ones I currently have outside? I think you can see the plants I have from my profile, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🌱🥶

I have officially caved and got myself a maidenhair fern! I’ve heard she’s such a diva but that’s exactly why I got her. Wish us luck! 💖

My hibiscus plants Goodness and Mercy have had a rough couple of days. The wind was pretty strong and knocked them both off my front patio down two steps onto the walkway below. Has never happened before but brought them inside. They were leaning pretty badly afterwards. I need to probably repot. So will they survive the winter indoors?

There’s always one that has to be different.

We recently asked on our socials, and we would LOVE to get our communites input as well 💚 What are your biggest struggles of being a plant owner?!

Repot complete! I’m calling this his “permapot”, cause repotting a rabbit’s foot fern is STRESSFUL. 😭😂 Planning to let his adorable rhizomes—or “feet”—grow completely over the sides of his new home. 🥹❤️

I have had my little lightning orchid for about three weeks now. Came in a 2 inch pot and it’s not root bound, so I’m leaving well enough alone. I noticed it was starting to get a little wrinkly on the leaves. It wasn’t a water issue. Most likely it was a temperature issue in our house. I live in Northern Michigan and now is the time of year that it’s about 66 in our house. Somewhere, I read about putting a heating pad under your plants. So that’s what I am trying right now. My lightning orchid and my two baby Hoya rope plants look much happier. My lightning orchid is even getting a new leaf!.A little hard to see them through the glass, But this is my set up.
