I’m so excited to start my Peace Lily journey! Picked up this little baby today, cleaned up her roots and set her up in some water instead, here’s to hoping she acclimates well😅

what’s going on…? it’s pushing out new leaves but looks sad at the same time. Can this be fixed?

Does anyone know why the end of my plants leaves are turning brown? Thanks!

I have a question about ceiling fans. When you set up a plant it asks about being near vents, etc. I’ve read about not putting by drafty doorways, etc, also. Also, I’ve read about plants having good air flow and cabinets having fans in them. I’ve left the ceiling fans off in the dining room (that has several plants) & the plants there seem to take longer to dry out. I’ve left one off in bathroom, thinking that would keep the humidity level higher. Should they remain off or on to increase air flow? I don’t have trouble staying on top of the watering and it wouldn’t be with increased frequency either, so that isn’t a factor that needs to be considered. I’m concerned over summer the house will be too muggy and hot for the human & dog inhabitants with fans off this summer (really needed them last summer). Thanks for any advice. Beth

Noticed one of my caladiums was leaning real hard late last night. I moved it to a more sunny spot, and turned her leaning away from the window. She’s already looking better and it’s only noon! I didn’t realize she wanted the sun so bad 😬 any other caladiums tips/tricks you got for me with these guys?

Many people follow the Planta schedule but many of us realized a long time ago that it is impossible for any app to analyze every possible scenario or situation with every plant. Even with its adaptability. Probably about once a week I go thru all my plants just to make sure none are being left behind. I did that today and this is a pic of the plants that need to be watered early. They are not on Planta’s schedule to be watered today. Keep in mind I have 162 plants in the app. So this is not a huge percentage. And about 85% of my hoard is succulents. Probably had I let these plants go and waited for the scheduled maintenance, they would probably be ok, but some plants won’t survive repeated neglect. My point is that you still need to check your plants occasionally to see if they need help.

We continue the series and here is Idas favorite plant right now: Myrtle (Myrtus communis). It might be because it’s flowering atm but it sure is pretty otherwise as well! It prefers a bright spot, ideally in a sunny window, and thrives with regular watering and good air circulation. With its glossy leaves, delicate white flowers, and rich cultural heritage, it’s not only visually appealing but also has a rich history. This plant has long symbolized love and beauty. According to mythology, Aphrodite is said to have hidden behind a myrtle bush before rising from the sea (captured in the painting: Birth of Venus). In ancient times, brides to be would drink myrtle tea to prepare for pregnancy and then wear a wreath of Myrtle at the wedding as a symbol that the tea was no longer needed. Medicinally, myrtle has been used for: 🌿 Antiseptic properties – to combat bacteria and infections 🌿 Respiratory relief – particularly for bronchitis and cough 🌿 Astringent effect – useful for wound care and skin issues 🌿 Mild calming action – sometimes used to ease anxiety and sleep problems Both berries, leaves, and essential oil can be used—but as always, moderation is key. Essential oil should only be used externally and in small amounts. And if you'd like to try brewing a cup of Myrtle tea 🫖: Ingredients: • 1 tsp dried myrtle leaves • 1 cup boiling water • Honey or lemon (optional) Instructions: Place the dried myrtle leaves in a tea strainer. Pour over the boiling water and let steep for 5–10 minutes. Add honey or lemon if desired. Then simply enjoy it!

My sad and almost dead stromanthe that I put in fluval stratum on a whim is by far the happiest now a year later! Here’s the before and after pics. I’m so glad she’s thriving! 💕

I got this plant (I think it’s a blushing philodendron?) from Target and after about 2 weeks I checked the roots and they are brown. Now sitting in water the leaves are yellowing. Please help me!

Been seeing a lot of ppl deal with fungus gnat invasions on here so thought l'd share what I use. These drops help prevent + kill larvae in the soil. I add two drops per gallon to my plant water. I recommend using this all year round to keep them at bay. I went from a swarm last year to only needing to put out a couple traps so far this summer. Hope this helps!

Self watering outer pot has a crack throughout the pot 😞 can I superglue inside to see if it holds water like it’s supposed to? Or would it be toxic? I love the color too much to not use

Purchased croc fern yesterday! I realized my pot came with a saucer but no holes drilled in the pot. I know the fern likes humidity (I will move to bathroom once cleaned 🧼 ) but will it not having holes cause roots to rot even if I don’t water heavily? Just debating whether or not to switch pots or drill. Edit: Should I change soil type? TIA 🌱
