Hey all, I’ve had this pink princess for probably a month now. It has grown three new leaves in that time (two in the last week!) I was wondering what is coming out of the pot though? They’re red and slightly fuzzy? Is it roots or something else?

Hi! Does anyone know if these little bumps will become new stems? She needs a repot but I don’t want to break the little nub growth and tbh she’s growing and seems happy as she is right now x

Hi everyone I would like to know if there are any plants that aren’t very hard I have a golden pothos, 2 peace lilies, a aloe Vera, and a monstera, and a lucky bamboo, and last a strawberry plant

Hello! I’m just curious. Is there any kind of plant that doesn’t need a drainage hole in its pot. I have a super cute pot that came with one of my plants but there’s no drainage holes. Thanks!

Hello!! So, I have a tiny string of pearls plant that I am trying to baby as much as possible because my last one died lol, but is this an aerial root on some new growth and should I keep it on or pluck it off?

Hello everyone, i’m looking for some advice, last year i planted a lemon tree from lemon seeds and before planting into soil i put them in a wet paper towel, in a zip lock bag and left it in a warm dark spot for a few days and then planted it, it grew quite quickly. However, i was wondering if that is necessary or if i can just plant the seeds straight into soil? What is the best way or method to grow a lemon tree?? I have been obsessed with growing my own one for yearsssss but have never been able to do it so im asking for any advice hahah. I am a very beginner gardener :) Thankyou so much for all your help.

Hello, help please! I’ve been pulling more browning leaves off my pilea than I normally would, this one looks like it’s something more than cranky leaves. Does someone know if this is a particular affliction? Can my plant come back from it? Thank you💚

I just repotted my Chinese money plant but I accidentally ripped some roots off (could be a lot, I couldn’t really tell) should I be worried?

Will aerial roots on a cutting make it root faster when propagating? Or would it not really make a difference?

Doing dishes is much more enjoyable with this as my view. I’m so excited to see my Japanese maple coming back to life, now my other outdoor plants can hurry up!

Please help! My baby’s still browning 😭 I think I’ve been doing everything right: put it in a part sun/part shade area, added an outer pot and rocks for drainage. Two days ago, I watered until water came out some of the holes. I haven’t checked her roots yet. When I went to drain out the water in the outer pot, nothing came out. Is that something to be concerned about? Dr. Planta says it’s due to a water imbalance and gives me vague advice on how to fix it. I would appreciate any help 🙏

I accidentally way overwatered my Tradscantia today. Should I just get ahead of it and repot it in dry soil?

Hi all, could use some help. Eileen (Ficus "Audrey") was pushing out a new leaf every two weeks when I first got her last year. I've been waiting for her to come out of winter hibernation, but nothing yet. As for her living conditions, I water her well and humidity is regulated in the space (55%). I also gave all my plants fertilizer about a month ago. Any advice or thoughts as to why she's stunted? The only thing I could think of is temperature, it never goes below 68° in the room but when it finally heats up outside (snowed last week, smh) it'll definitely shoot above 70°.
