So I am new to plants. Like July of this year new lol anyways, I think I have a couple plants that may need repotting soon, and I am wondering about soil type because I have a variety of plant types. I know some plants like being root bound, some do not.
My gold dust croton is in a 3in nursery pot. He has exploded in growth and I’m having to do frequent watering as the soil is completely dry in about 3-4 days. Should it be repotted? Soil type?
My galaxy false aralia is also thriving in its 3in nursery pot lol. Also have the same frequent watering. My other plants do not dry out as fast. Should this one be repotted? Soil type?
Thank you!

I know this is a bit of a more serious topic, but if you're comfortable sharing, and you've had an experience, how has botany and the houseplant hobby/community helped and/or improved your mental health? Id love to hear your stories if you're comfortable sharing! :)

I was given a Pink Quill for a Christmas present last year. She was in full beautiful bloom - gorgeous pink bracht and little purple flowers for a few weeks. She slowly died and I waited patiently for a pup as I was assured that is the norm for this Planta lifecycle. Eventually a pup started and has grown quite big. I was afraid to separate it from the old mother though and she’s been growing nice. Now I noticed there are two smaller pups! How exciting. I feel like I should probably separate them though. Thoughts? Are the two little ones too small to survive on their own yet? Any one have experience separating them out? I can’t even imagine figuring out the root situation.

My app tells me to winterize my caladium tomorrow and then water it on Wednesday. I don’t understand. If I winterize it, why would I water it?🫤 should I water it tomorrow and then winterize it Wednesday?

Sooo this is my first time actually getting into plants and I fear that I did not know we should not be planting directly in the pots…. Should I replant all of the ones I’ve collected in clear plastic nursery pots or will I give them transplant shock? I don’t know what’s better because even though the pots have drainage they stay really moist for awhile… any advice would be great thanks!! I wanna do them right!!

I’ve had this money tree for a few years
I’m not to familiar with these plants however I’m repotting her and her root system is so small the stems have been looking shriveled.
Any idea on what this could be?

Caught her incredibly early, she doesn't even have a good dark green color.

My jade plant keeps dropping its leaves even though I thoroughly water it every few weeks. It’s been in the same spot where it’s been thriving (till recently) since I got it. I also can’t seem to get the leaves to grow roots/sprout. Any tips?

Hi, I’ve had this plant quite a while and got it in a rescue box. It appears healthy but hasn’t been giving me any new growth. Any tips? Many thanks 🙏

Hi friends! I bought this calathea from HD and was repotting it and found these bulb things connected to the ends of the roots. Do I leave them connected or are they their own thing? Thank you!!

Does anyone else organize their sites on Planta by the category of plant instead of the location? I don’t know why it took me so long to think of it but it’s much more helpful for me!
