Bought to ask a potentially stupid question lol when you repot, do you always remove the old dirt from the root system? Does that HAVE to happen? I haven’t repotted often but I think I’ve kept the root ball as is and just added more soil below and around 😬 like should I break all this up?
My money plant doesn’t seem to be growing anymore. The soil in the pot always seems moist so I haven’t actually watered her for a while and I’m thinking about changing to a pot with three holes on the bottom as opposed to two. The bottom is also terracotta and I’m wondering if it’s holding in too much moisture. The leave are green, but I’m concerned. I’ve tried moving her into the bathroom where it’s more humid and her leaves started looking better, but still no growth. Help! The pot pictured isn’t her pot anymore, but she still looks the same even in a larger terracotta pot. She used to grow so much.
Found a verigated jade plant today. 🤩 She was SO thirsty and needed saving and I couldn’t resist.
Sweetheart plant repotting question.. my sweetheart plant has been in well draining soil but it’s time to repot. It recommends a variety of mediums, one being orchid mix (bark chips). Will it stun the plant if I completely change potting mediums or stick with what I had when repotting? Thanks!
When can I put my peace lillies outside? Still the potential of lows about 40 and highs about 75
should i plant it in soil. it’s doing great in water o just think it’d be cute in soil but i know that a lot of leaves might fall because of the transition. is it worth it?
Shot in the dark here. Does anyone have experience with building live aquatic ecosystems… with no filter? I want to try to build a totally natural tank. I have one set up with both substrate and live plants (no fish). I’ve been trying to read up on proper cycling and am afraid I’ll screw it up. It’s rather small at 1.4 gallons. It’s currently on day 5 and rather cloudy, I’ve read it can take up to 30 days for the ammonia and nitrates to clear. Any and all suggestions welcome. (Planned on making a larger setup if this one is successful)
Safe to say she’s healthy 🖤
Does anyone know what this plant is??
I have a few plants that are combined, any advice to set them up in Planta without them being separate plants?
Honestly, I don’t know how I managed to save this plant. I had thought I’d killed it but was pleasantly surprised this morning when I checked on it to see that it had new leaves and some new flower buds
Some of the kids 🫶🏾🌱
Never been so excited about a new leaf💚

Anyone know why my raindrop plant is so droopy? Ive had it for about a little under a year now and i havent tooken it out of the pot i bought it in, do i need to repot it? Or does it just need more light/watering? Help please!
Needing your advice! So I saved a monstera plant that was virtually dead but I tried propagating some of the stems with zero leaves and they’re all doing really good but I’m confused what to do from here. I’ll attach pictures. I’ve been growing some in just moss and some in perlite/moss mixture. Keeping them in a closed container or bag for humidity. When do I try to plant? The ones that are growing roots right next to a new leaf growth what should I do? Any input is appreciated!
Hello Everyone 🫶🏼 I am very new to this plant life lol. I recently got 4 plant babies (2 didn’t make it in the pic for some reason) anywhooo, I plan to repot them soon because 2 already have roots coming out the drainage holes & my aloe’s leaves seem a litte large for the pot. My main concern is, can i use regular miracle gro potting mix with some extra perlite added in for my aloe plant? I didn’t think to get a soil mix specifically for my aloe 😢 Any advice or tips is much appreciated! Thank you
After months of waiting, my Thai Con has a new leaf!!
My Tradescantia is flowering!! Flowering for the first time ❤️🌸 Has anyone else had flowers yet?
