Hi! Beginner here 😄 Are there any benefits in cutting the small leaves off my monstera? Thank you!

My boyfriend bought me this poinsettia from a good seller back at the start of December, but it has struggled ever since I got it. I’ve got lots of plants which are thriving and I don’t know what I need to do with this one as I’ve never had a poinsettia before, don’t want to give up on it but not sure if I should. It’s been in the window getting as many hours of indirect light as possible (there’s no good space for a grow light for it). My flat is very cold but I have kept it in a room which stays between 15-18° which I thought would be okay. Any advice is welcome! Was thinking when it’s a bit warmer I could repot it to a smaller pot and ensure all the roots are healthy but want to avoid while it’s still so cold. Before and after pics 😢

I live in Alaska where the humidity gets down to 25-30% in the winter. My calatheas and alocasias almost didn’t make it. We also live in a fixer upper house that doesn’t perform like a well built house lol I have many spots where plants are congregated based on their light and humidity need. Several spots are my high humidity loving plants and in order for them to survive and hopefully thrive in winter I first did trays with rocks under each tropical plant and misting per Plantas schedule. That didn’t do anything for overall humidity in the immediate area. I have hygrometers in each spot and the percent didn’t change. I then went all out and added grow lights and humidifiers which added like 20% humidity in my tropical plant room being as how it’s a small room. But then we started finding mass amounts of mold all over the place :( and husband says I can’t have the humidifiers going anymore. We’ve done some research and came up with using 55 gallon fish tanks and having acrylic tops custom made to create a terrarium for them. All my plants are of course already potted and I want to keep them that way. I found one site online that said it’s just fine to put potted plants in an enclosed terrarium and not have to do anything other than monitor the humidity but I feel like it might be more complicated than that… I’m looking for any help, insight, advice, experienced knowledge that anyone might have on keeping potted plants in glass aquariums. I really want to keep my tropical plants alive in Alaska lol I do realize that it just might not be feasible as long as we continue living in this house but I want to try everything I can first. Ssssooo please help me :p

So I was blessed today with monstera clippings and I’m not sure about the big leaf. Not sure if there’s enough water cause I didn’t want to go to high. The small one is perfect and should root hopefully 🤞🏼but any info is much appreciated

HELP!!!! I rescued this plant from my dad’s house. It looked terrible and was dropping leaves. I don’t exactly know how to care for this plant to well. I think it’s doing well since it grew new leaves… except for the fact that the leaves were green and not red. Is that normal??? I’ve never really had a poinsettia before

Hi, this is my dieffenbachia, I am new to plants and I’m wondering if I need to get a fungicide for this plant. I recently moved it out of my bedroom and into a room with more light, can anyone help with advice and tips for this plant?

This was labeled as a white knight, but it’s only variegation is pink and it has some all black leaves. I see that the stems do look like a white knight but I haven’t seen any others with leaves like this. Is this normal? Thoughts?

Hi! I’ve been growing loquat fruit trees indoor for almost 8 years now. This is one of the most successful trees yet, there are four. Specifically, this one seems to be just over 5 feet. I live in a 6-7 zone, and have been keeping them indoors for their entire life span. They were planted just from seed, and have not been grafted. In my opinion they’re doing great. Recently these shoots have popped up and I don’t know what to do about them. Also, I would like to know more general information about the plants if anyone can provide! (Specifically when to put them outside during summer, how to prune, and if they’re able to flower soon) Thank you so much!!

A co worker of mine has a plant that is in need of some TLC. She asked me to take him. I said yes before seeing the sad guy. Is he worth saving? App says spineless Yucca. But what do we think plant enthusiasts? Can we save him?

Recently bought a Spider plant (Bonnie), polka dot plant, string of turtles, and Peperomia. I’ve seen conflicting advice about what level of moisture for each. I’m going to use a moisture meter for them, does anybody use one and have advice on what number to water each one at? What I’ve found has been Peperomia- 1 or 3, Spider-3, Polka dot- 4-5, turtle-4. Some of those seem off to me based on the watering recommendations that’s recommended on this app. Any advice? Thank you!!

Help!! My peace Lily is withering and the spadix are going black.. I water it 1-2x a week and it’s in a lit area!!

Hi Everyone, I’m new here 🤗 I’ve had a lot of plants on & off over the years but they were just “plants” to me then (Sorry 🥴) This past year though, I have really been Embracing them & the fact that they’re Addicting to me now 🌱🌵🥰 I’m more of a ‘yellow thumb’ but I want to eventually have a ‘green’ one. I do have a hard time knowing what plants I should invest in because I live in a townhouse and only have windows facing East & West, so there isn’t a lot of natural sunlight coming in 🥺 So if anyone can Help me out on my Plant Journey, I would sooo Appreciate it, I live in Michigan, not sure what zone 🤷‍♀️ Thank you in advance 🙏🏼🥰🌿

Hello! I have a question. So is it normal for a plant like a sweetheart hoya and a pathos to change their coloration? Because my pathos was just green and same goes for my Hoya but they are turning marble. But it doesn’t look like it’s sick but, I am concerned for them.

what are the best things to plant around this time of year? (late february-early march) 🌱
