My office ZZ plant has a new growth! But I’m not sure how to give her some TLC. She receives office light and gets watered every other month. Some of her leaves are starting to yellow a little, but I’m not sure how to prune or promote good growth. Any advice would be appreciated! :)
Can my Octopus Tree go outside for the summer?
Hi everyone! I am trying to learn how to take better care of my plants. I have never been good at taking care of them. Mostly because I am uneducated. I want to learn so I can have thriving healthy plants! Here they are. How do they look? Obviously my calathea leopardina is struggling. They are mostly in a dark room (in a temperature of 68). I unfortunately don’t have a lot of light in my house. I have recently been taking them outside for some indirect sunlight and humidity. I water once a week at most. Sometimes less. What can I do to help these guys? Thank you!!
A Lil bush in front of my house anyone know what it is?
Picked up these two beauties and am excited to add more purple hues to the mix. Who can pass up half off at Home Depot!? No one here LOL 😝
What plant should I get next?? I live in Texas so I need a heat loving plant!!
Hi! Random question as I build up my plant shop: 1) Out of these monsteras- Regular Albo Aurea Thai Mint What would you rank as your favorite in order? 2) What are other plants you’d like to add to your collection?
I have a stair landing that has an eastern facing octagonal window. It gets indirect morning light. I would like to get a pet friendly plant that would do well with the lighting. Is there a pet friendly plant that you think would do well here? This is an evening photo just so you can see the distance the table top is from the window. I am mostly familiar with calathea and Peperomia plants. I have a rattlesnake plant that is thriving one floor up in the house near a similar facing window. Do you think that a rattlesnake plant would do well with this lighting, or would it be considered too far away to receive enough light? Maybe a Boston fern? There’s a large peacock plant at Whole Foods that is gorgeous but I don’t know if it would be too big for the landing table.
Got my very first watermelon peperomia! 🤍 I’m still having hard time figuring out which size of pot I should get and how I should repot. I got a clay pot with drainage hole (6” diameter, 5” tall) but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to plant it directly to the pot. I also have a ceramic pot without holes and a plastic nursery pot that goes inside it. (5” diameter, 5.5” tall) I greatly appreciate any kind of tips!
This was my baby girl Kita that past on March 31 in my arms. She was almost 14 and one of the sweetest little dog I have ever had. I friend gave me this geranium when she past and it has bloomed none stop since I got it. I think she is watching over it for me. Love and miss you little one. ❤
Hey everyone, just got this prayer plant from someone, not sure when last watered or what kind of soil used, there is some leaves damaged, should I remove them? Also would it be ok to repot and water?
Hello everyone! I am new to Planta and taking care of plants. Do any of ya’ll know what is wrong with my Coleus leaves? They have splits in the middle and I’m pretty sure it’s not any kind of pest. If any one knows anything please help!!
Can anyone tell me what type of Albuca this actually is. Deep dive on the interwebs doesn’t help a lot. It needs to be repotted as it’s trying hard to burst through the sides of the small nursery pot and it continued to grow longer than other I see on the internet
My orchid leaf was faded and fell like this why its happening like this?
Hey! Does anyone know what’s wrong with my cherry red tomato plant as you can see in the photo most of its leaves have the yellow/brown rotting to it it didn’t usually have this till a couple days ago I noticed it was getting everywhere on the plant does anyone know how I can fix this, also the tomatoes aren’t growing they’re kind of just staying the same size and showing no coloration difference. If anyone can tell me what’s going on and how to fix it that would be great. Thanks!
Just wanted to show my string of things shelf 😁 string of dolphins, string of pickles (or ruby’s necklace), string of heart, string of pearls and i just got string of bananas to add to the bottom! Questions-my string of hearts is not growing, do you thing i downsize the pot? Most my others are in smaller tighter pots and they are all thriving! Thx plant friends
Any suggestions why my zz leaves are yellowing? I’m supposed to water today and there was a new sprout. Should I go forward with watering or too much sun?
No garden? No problem! 🌿 You don’t need a big backyard to grow your own little paradise. Whether it’s a sunny balcony, a windowsill, or a tiny patio—small spaces can bloom beautifully. 🌱 Tip 1: Go vertical! Go Horizontal! Make use of the size and shape of your space. Use hanging pots, wall planters, narrow but long planters or shelves to make the most of your space. 🍓 Tip 2: Grow what you eat and need - herbs, salad greens, and strawberries thrive in containers. Focus on what you really want out of your space. 🌼 Tip 3: Choose plants that multitask—like edible flowers or herbs that look pretty and spice up your meals. A little green goes a long way. Got a small garden of your own? 🤩🪴
My ZZ plant is growing a new stem but at the same time I seeing lots of yellow leaves. This happened close to the time this app flagged watering (approx 30 day cycle). I keep pushing the watering thinking that I might be doing it too frequently but it’s unclear to me. Any ideas?
Does anyone else have a bamboo ginger?! I got this guy a while back from the clearance section at Lowe’s. He was water logged in a pot that was way too big for him, but today he’s doing great! I really don’t know too much about this plant but curious if others have had more experience with them. TIA ❤️
