Can someone give me tips on how to properly repot plants from their nursery pots from the store? I got some plants that were extremely rootbound & in extremely compact and moist soil that wouldn’t do well in my home. One plant i soaked to remove the soil and the others I just left their nursery soil and put in a bigger pot with new soil.. The plants i soaked shriveled up and look pretty stressed and the others are doing fine right now but in the past I had them get root rot/had pest :(

Do you guys find the planta app watering schedule accurate? I tried to follow it since I tend to overwater my plants but then some of my plants were definitely showing stress signs from underwatering and weren’t due for water for a few more days

Help! Do you think this plant is a philodendron silver stripe? Or a philodendron rio?

I got a Majesty Palm not realizing apparently they are very hard plant! I repotted it in a cactus/palm soil and got a terra cotta bulb and got a tray to add rocks too. Please give me all your tips it’s already looking sad!

For years I’ve been a lurker in the plant world, admiring all your thriving jungles from afar. Growing up I was always the one a little too obsessed with nature, but last week I finally said: “It’s time.” I ordered my very first official plant haul and on Aug 14th these beauties arrived: • 🌱 4PK Pothos (random selection) → 2 × Marble Queen, Golden Pothos, Scindapsus Variegated • 🌱 4PK Essential Houseplants (random) → Ficus elastica ‘Tineke’, Monstera adansonii ssp. laniata, Philodendron tortum (fern leaf), Heartleaf Philodendron (Brasil) • 🌱 Personal wishlist picks → Calathea Rattlesnake & Calathea Dottie (painted prayer plant) They’re now set up on a 57” bamboo 7-tier plant shelf, about 9 ft across from a southeast-facing window, with LED strip grow lights (3 modes: warm white, red, full spectrum). Currently running full spectrum (380–780nm) on a 12hr cycle. 👉 Placement so far (based on what I’ve learned & been told): • Bottom tier (shadier/humid zone): Calathea Rattlesnake + Dottie (prayer plant). After the first night home, my rattlesnake stretched dramatically toward the window, so I asked ChatGPT and was advised to keep the two calatheas on the bottom shelf where humidity is higher and light is less direct. • Middle tiers (moderate light): Pothos crew, Heartleaf Philodendron, Scindapsus • Upper tiers (closer to lights): Ficus Tineke, Monstera adansonii, Philodendron tortum, Marble Queens, Golden Pothos I’ve got a humidifier, soil moisture meter, sprayer, and plant food ready to go. 💧🌬️ 💭 Concerns: • My Monstera adansonii came in rough (droopy + bleach spots), and my app already flagged him as “not well.” Soil is still wet from shipping, but he looks unhappy even with light. • My Scindapsus leaves are feeling dry/crunchy to the touch even though the soil still reads moist. Not sure if that’s stress from shipping or something I should act on. 👉 For those who own any of these — what’s your best advice for long-term success? What’s something you wish someone had told you in the beginning about these plants? ((in photo attached plants were in different until i came home the next day to find the rattlesnake reaching for the south facing window so that’s why it mentions i changed their placements around a bit, i’ll have to admit i do have a live king camera on plants and the rattle & prayer look a bit happier at the bottom… i’m dying to put the rattlesnake snake on my gaming desk & the prayer back up up top as i wont those two to show off the most))

Hi there. I was wondering if you thought these mini monstera cuttings are ready for planting in soil. Thank you.

Good day all! Silly question, when I see posts on Instagram, where people are spraying their plant snippers with alcohol, is it just straight alcohol? Or is it even alcohol? I just assumed.

My silver satin pothos literally is so confusing. She’s growing and thriving at the top, but the bottom leaves keep turning yellow and dying off. 😭😭 why is she doing this to me

I have this Christmas cactus (maybe). I got cuttings from my grandmother who got gem from her dad so the original cactus is about 75 years old. I’ve seen pictures of Christmas cacti and this one looks way too bulky to be one but that might just be because of its age. Any ideas on what type of cactus it is?

Strange question, but what does everyone listen to when repoting/plant caring? Specific songs or podcasts welcome. I personally just listen to IRL by lizzo and sza on repeat since I don't have that many

Guys I’m being told it’s a white philodendron but I’m also being told it’s a blushing philodendron please help which one is it !?

I just ordered a moss pole off Amazon and the scent is quite strong. It’s a moldy mildewy smell. How do I get the smell out so I can use it in my house? Any suggestions would be good. It’s not wet or damp, it just has that manufacturing smell I guess.

Hello My silver sprikles seems to drop a lot of leaves and they easily fall off when i move the plant for watering. Is this normal or does it mean its unhappy?
