Plant friends plz share your wisdom. brought this plant home yesterday from the nursery. Re potted it in “Tropical Soil” by Miracle Grow. Realized that I put it in a pot with 0 drainage. What kind of pot should I purchase, or should I just buy a plastic pot with holes to put inside of this pot? And what kind of soil or mixture should I use? Should there be rocks at the bottom? Thank you for all of your guidance!

Anyone have any advice on how to consider this location in terms of light? It’s too high up for the leaves of an upright plant to get any direct sunlight, but the plant would receive 12 hours or more of indirect light.

Hi there, I am looking for some advices. I repotted a common Ivy plant because soil was not enough to cover the full roots, and I decide to give her a new brand soil. After repotting, how should I wait before watering? Shall I give moist to soil in the first weeks.

Any recommendations for insecticide that is water soluble aka death drops. I want to start mixing in with watering!

I went to my plant shop today to have them look at my monstera. The first photo is my baby before. They put a moss pole for me and it looks a bit messy (all the other photos show the after moss pole). They definitely know more than I do, but any thoughts on it?

I’ve had both plants for over 6 months but just this week the leaves on both prayer plants started curling? They’ve always been on opposite sides of the house, I haven’t moved them recently or changed anything about their watering schedule? I’m so confused about what’s causing this! 😭 Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated! They also aren’t dry or developing crispy edges on the leaves, the leaves still feel completely healthy. I’m so confused 🥲

Does putting a plant into a bathroom actually help with humidity? I want to move my palm into the bathroom so it hopefully does even better than it is now. Also, my bathroom does not put out that much light, I was planning on getting a grow light but I know palms need a lot of light so I’m worried it won’t be enough. Any recommendations?

Hi everyone! I’ve had this purple inch plant for about a year now, and it’s gotten really long to the point where I was trying to untangle its branches and ended up snapping some branches. Do you guys think I should leave it alone, let it grow like it has been? Or should I trim it down?

Hey folks! I’ve finally come to the conclusion i need help with my bamboo plant. Please let me know if there’s anything i can do. This is my office plant so if i need to take it home and dissect it I will. The pot that it is in has no drainage hole and is a soil-perlite mix. It seems to be leaning even though I have it close to the window. Any tips/suggestions will be appreciated!

I have a Chinese Money Plant that has been growing these little white thingies at the top. Are those the flowers?

Questions about the monstera a recently got from Home Depot. 1. What kind of soil mix is this, that they use? 2. It’s been a week since I got it, I haven’t watered it yet, and the soil is still moist. Should I be worried about this? It’s in a 9” pot I believe.

Can I ask about misting please? On the app, it recommends misting quite often, however when I put a post on Facebook asking people what mist sprays they use, the general agreement was not to use them, as apparently some leaves don’t like getting wet!! So now I’m confused!! 😵‍💫 x Thank you everyone for all the advice and tips - I’ve bought a humidifier from Amazon and some Neem oil, so fingers crossed that’s better for all my plant babies 👶 x
