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

Ordered this Calathea starter online and have had it for about 3 weeks. Tips are starting to curl and turn yellow/brown. Any tips?? Cracks in the sides were there when I got it.

hi everyone, is this normal for aloe? I can’t get it to grow upright for the life of me!

Hello! This is my rescue Peace Lilly, Picasso. When pruning do you cut just the leaves or down to the soil?

Does anyone have any favorite grow lights for larger plants? My place doesn’t get a ton of natural light and some of the plants are suffering 😭

When you are using the chopstick method to determine dryness of a plant, for your plants that don’t like to be totally dry, ferns, Calatheas, fig plants, etc., how dirty should your stick be or not be? That is my question of the day and has been for a while, I just haven’t asked. TXS. 💚🪴

So my friend just became a plant mom and sent me pictures of her plants who aren’t doing so well. What are your thoughts?? The one with rocks is a succulent.

I’ve noticed recently that a lot of people are posting about overwatered plants. Something that I’ve learned from my thorough research and experience is that most plants prefer to dry out between waterings. A great way to check if a plant needs to be watered is to insert a wooden skewer or chopstick, leave it in for a minute, and if it comes out dry with no dirt on it, it’s time to water. And remember that Planta’s schedule is never completely accurate! ALWAYS check your plant before watering!
Here is a list of plants that like to dry out between waterings: Succulents, cacti, moth orchids, peperomia, tradescantia, monsteras, pothos, philodendrons, spider plants, syngoniums, dracaena, corn plants, money tree, ZZ plants, aglaonema (Chinese evergreen), cast iron plant, Chinese money plant, umbrella plant, bromeliads, hoya.
Plants that don’t like to dry out between waterings: nerve plants, begonias, polka dot plants, ferns, prayer plants, rubber plants, birds of paradise, carnivorous plants (which require a whole different care system than most plants), alocasias, peace lilies, dieffenbachia.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
