Does it stress plants out to take them out of their pot frequently? I ask because I got a mini monstera and a satin pothos and when I first got them I took them out to look at the root systems and change the soil. It’s been about a month and I realize I didn’t do the greatest job planting them. They are loose in the soil and roots are near the top. Would it be ok to just take them out and manipulate the soil a bit ??

Hello! I have a general question about repotting. I repotted a few different plants (philodendron micas, philodendron Brazil, English ivy). I tried to get ceramic pots with drainage holes. But is that the right call? I have some other plants that need to be repot. Sweet potato vine, lemon coral. They are still in nursery, should I get a pot with drainage or it does not matter?

I have this calathea prayer plant and it seems she hasn’t been happy for a while. She’s lived in several locations … in light, in dark, high humidity, low humidity. She’s recently been repotted because she has grown but doesn’t seem to be thriving… any advice???

Hello everyone! I am new to this app, and really new to plants also. I don’t yet have any 😢 but I really want to start my plant journey! Does anyone have any suggestions on good sturdy indoor plants for a beginner? Thanks so much for any and all advice!

Notched my tineke today and I am NERVOUS. I think I’ve finally worked out the kinks of this plant. New growth is looking great! I know I should pull some of the leaves but I can’t stand it being so naked. Shoutout to all the ficus parents who can keep their babies beautiful. This plant has been the death of me.

Hi, I have an African Milk Tree. It has become ENORMOUS like 2m tall and I’ve had to put stakes in to secure it after repotting. It has never grown any little side leaves and has never flowered… Am I doing something wrong?

It’s kind of hard to see but I noticed this green bug on my plant. Is it a spider? Has anyone seen these type of bugs? I tried to move it to a clear container but it fell and I lost it lol

I had my husband install these grow lights on our built in bookshelves. I love how they turned out, but now after doing light readings, I’m worried they are too close to the plants and therefore giving them too much light. This is the 2nd time I had my husband install grow lights like this (the first ones were too weak) and it was not an easy task. So before I tell him I need him to fix anything again and risk him probably wanting to kill me over these lights, I thought I would ask y’all if you think these plants are in trouble of too much light. And any solutions/tips you have. Thank you so much! Here’s some details to help you out: Lights: SANSI LED Puck Grow Light, 10W (150 Watt Equiv) Full Spectrum Duration: currently they are set for 12 hours. Light readings directly under the lights: 3” below: 60,000 LUX (approx. 5500 FC) 5” below: 33,000 LUX (approx. 3000 FC) 7” below: 18,000 LUX (approx. 1600 FC) (pictures of my readings at each level are in LUX at x 100)

Need help getting started with my nagami kumquat tree, anyone have experience? My friends got me a kumquat tree for my birthday, and I need help making sure I'm treating it right. It's potted in a nursery pot right now, but they also gave me a large terracotta pot with one large drainage hole at the bottom. It's outside on my porch in Los Angeles. A few questions: * Should I repot now? If not, when should I repot? * If so, is this one drainage hole enough? * Is this soil the right mix for repotting? * How often should I be fertilizing/watering? * Anything else I should keep in mind? This is my first outdoor plant that's not a cactus, so any tips are much appreciated. Thanks!!
