This is my ficus Audrey. The bottom older leaves tips are turning brown and yellow. They even look like they are drying out. The plant itself is not even 2 feet tall. The top leaves are looking great. They’re bigger than the other ones. It’s in a south facing window. I’m not sure what’s going on so if someone can help me? Is this normal? Thank you for all of your information.
This is the perfect example of why I don’t ever recommend wick and water or self watering pots! Saved 3 plant babies from my local Walmart today. More updates to come! 😌
is a moss pole recommended for this plant? it’s growing like weeds
Does anyone know how Planta’s liquid fertilizing tasks work? It tells me to fertilize with water (which is essentially watering the plant) but then might tell me to water later on. How does this work?
Hey planters, I just bought a levoit smart humidifier for my room since it runs dry (~35%). Though my plants are tolerating the low humidity and occasional misting, they're not thriving, so anything above that to me is a huge plus. My humidity target is 55% (don't want to worry too much about mold) but I also want to be cautious about saving electricity and water, so I'm wondering if it's okay to turn it off completley when I'm asleep. Tested it yesterday and it reduced by ~12% overnight. Is this too much a drop and will my plants be stressed with this daily environmental change? TL;DR: If my humidity fluxuates between 40-55% daily is that too big a change and will my plants get stressed? Thanks!
It’s that time of year when I’m receiving a whole slew of repotting tasks. Do y’all actually repot every year? I have some plants that I am genuinely nervous about repotting because they are thriving and I don’t want to throw off their amazing growth. What are y’alls thoughts?
I'm a newbie here so still learning the ropes!! Should this be growing larger than this??? I've had this for 3 years prob and it doesn't grow beyond this. Do I repot it? Or is this it for this beauty?!
Hello, I was repotting my alocasia and broke off this separate little plant that was growing off of it! It doesn’t have any roots on it, can I do something to keep it growing???
I’m so confused!! It’s in a well lit area,i water it once the soil is dry and I make sure because I stick my finger down into it to make sure. What is going on!!
Can anyone tell me what kind of aglaomena this is? The identifier said it was a Lady Valentine, but I’m not sure…

is my peperomia ripple blooming?
I’ve had 2 ferns for 2 1/2 years. I’m zone 6b so bring them in my basement to go dormant for winter. Can I get them looking healthy again or is it a lost cause at this point?? TIA
Hi plant friends! I just received the is CALAMONDIN tree and she’s been acclimating outside for the past couple of days since being shipped to me in Texas from Florida. I want to repot her in a bigger pot so she has room to grow and because spring is pretty much here and now is the time to repot. BUT, in the few days she’s been with me she already has 3 flowers! and a teeny tiny fruit growing! (plus the flower next to it that already dropped its petals) I added pics for reference. The pot size 5” diameter and she’s about 2ft tall. Any advice on if i should repot or leave her alone bc she’s got fruit/flowers? Thanks in advance!!
Welcome home princess!! I picked up with Pink Princess today with a slight discount due to what the woman called “blighting” this is my DREAM plant and I want to do everything right to keep it thriving. Any tips on pots, soil, lighting is appreciated! So happy to have this plant home!
Hi all! I am brand spankin new to all things plants so I truly have zero idea what I’m doing but I’m determined to do my best with my new babies! I got this fiddle from my local farmers market and it came in a pot without drainage holes, no nursery pot inside. Is this typical when buying a fiddle? Everything I’ve read has said drainage is a must for these so I was surprised they didn’t have any in it. Does it matter if I just drill holes into this pot or is it better to repot it? Since I don’t know when it was last watered and re-potted how long do you typically wait to do both of these when you purchase a new plant? Also, she’s on my porch which is east facing. I have her in a corner where the light isn’t too direct and rotate every so often. Pretty much all fiddles I’ve seen people have inside, but I don’t really have a good spot by a window for her in my place. Is this okay? I live in San Diego so it’s really never too hot, humid or dry. Thank you!
What kind of philodendron is this? 🧐
I think my seersucker plant is far to gone to save. I repotted it in better potting soil and put it in a smaller pot. But I don’t think it’s coming back 🥲
