Can someone explain the fertilization step to me? I think I am throwing my watering schedule off. When I fertilize my plants I use a liquid food. I add water to the pot before adding the food. As a result, when the app tells me it’s time to water them, they don’t need to be watered. Am I doing something wrong? Last year I didn’t water when I fed and some of my plants really suffered as a result.
This is the only leaf that is like this. Possible from transport, just got her last weekend. Should I trim off?
hi all, i have a philodendron mican, and epipremnum cebu blue can anyone tell me if these are rooting yet? i see they both have little things going on but they look very different than all my other plants roots that i’ve propagated so i wasn’t sure if they were roots or not, the mican has those little thingys futher up as well so i assumed they weren’t roots.
Can anyone tell me what this is? Nursery said it was a philodendron of sorts…
Hello everybody I hope all is well I was gifted this plant and have no clue how to take care of it and tips? Also what is the scientific name?
How do I treat the white fuzzy stuff on my VERY old jade?
What is going on?! Is that a mushroom growing in my money tree pot?! Is this ok?
I'm going on vacation for a week and don't have a plant sitter lined up. Anyone have any tips for keeping 40+ houseplants alive while I'm away?? And buying self-warering pots for each one is currently not an option.
Wild Wednesday! Introduce us to your quirkiest, most personality‑filled plant. 🤪
Idk if anyone remembers the picture of Pittacus my sensitive plant from last year. Winter time was a TAD bit rough since it was my first and I didn’t have a grow light for most of Winter. Now that it’s spring though, he is taking off absolutely LOVING life! 🖤🖤🖤
Hi plant people! I’m using a self watering (wick system) pot for the first time with the Moon Valley Pilea I bought at Walmart. It, and the soil, were pretty dry at first. I’ve filled the reservoir about 3 times and it’s emptied every time. Now the soil is pretty damp…is Marvin that thirsty? Or do I need to not worry about keeping the reservoir filled?
I think i got thrips or gnats? Ive have plants for a couple years but i recently bought a ton since spring here 😅. I cant tell which plant it’s coming from because I have them all on one plant stand as I have a kid and a cat. I also keep them together to help a little bit with the humidity for some of my plants that need high humidity and I know that pests enjoy that. I tried to let the soil dry out completely to avoid this, but we all come across this eventually. I just haven’t dealt with this before now I’m treating with those yellow sticky traps everywhere to get adult adults and now I want to treat the larvae or any babies. I’m going to go to the store today to grab some stuff and I was thinking of some mosquito bits and a spray. What would you recommend recommendations be to help with this so I can go out and buy some products to help them
Would most ppl agree that peperomias are semi succulent as far as watering? And soil should be 50-70% dry before watering? For the 5 or 6 peperomias I have, the care info in planta says to let the top layer dry out. I interpret that as just 1-2”. What does everyone think??? So double check and do some research. Don’t just rely on this app for your plant care needs Pic for attention 😊
Do I need to propagate every baby in my Pilea?
What are these dots on my kale and bok choy? I thought they were leaf miners but they aren't the same tubular shape. They're whitish still but with a bit more yellow in them. They were already present, then I sprayed White Oil (veg oil + dawn) and they seemed to spread to the bok.

Okay plant peeps- finally repotting my madagascar dracaena after it put out triplette pups (the beckys) a couple yrs ago and then they ate their parents😒🙄RUDE. It took me a bit but i unknotted the roots😳. I may have waited too long to repot😆. Question 1: should i shorten these roots or just wrap those babies into the new pots and soil? Questuon 2: in the bottom 2 pics you can see how the pup is attached to the side of the base of her top cropped father but has its own long root. Daddio has started to sprout new shoots from the chop, should i leave those 2 together or can i reasonable cut the cord and make her move out?
Do alocasia’s have bulbs? I think I overwatered mine, and I was left with nothing but a stump, that turned mushy. Getting to the bottom (literally) of this plant I came across this. Never dealt with a plant with a bulb before. Roots are white which to me means there might be hope for the plant to bounce back… right??😬 I just soaked it in a hydrogen peroxide solution bath to kill off any other root rot garbage. Any tips on making the plant bounce back from here?
Fungus Gnat Advice Hey everyone! I have 30+ houseplants I adore but have the worst infestation of fungus gnats. Diatomaceous earth is helping and I am drying them out now and adjusting schedule. Does anyone have a Neem Oil they like or anything else? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
