For plants that you keep in water indefinitely (with fertilizer of course), how big of a container do you need in relation to the roots? For reference I have a peace lily prop (just one piece/root thing) that I decided I’m going to leave in water. I kept up sizing her when it seemed like her roots needed more space. Finally I just left her to grow into this one vase and she seems to be doing better sprouting new luscious growth quicker than she did before. I figured maybe she’s focusing on new leaves rather than roots now?

Hi everyone,
Seasoned momma and brand new plant mom here. So I just got these plants last week and the week before that, I’ve already watered all of them. What should I do now? When do I repot? What kind of soil will I need?
Plants in picture:
2 golden pothos
2 neon pothos
2 Prince of Orange philodendrons
2 baby blue eucalyptus
1 silver sword philodendron
1 lemon balm
Advice and suggestions appreciated.
Also 4/10 plants will be in my daughter’s room occupying their window, freeing up space in my window.

Can anyone help me identify the kind of bugs in my nifty new bug catcher? This would help me with proper eradication. Thanks🙏🏻(zoom in for a better look)

Hi! I just received this beautiful plant for my birthday. Would anyone know what it is, and is it indoor, or outdoor plant? Thank you. 😊

Has anyone tried using liquid fertilizer to help along water propagations???

I have just brought this strawberry plant from a shop. Does it need repotting. Will it get bigger

Does anyone know why the newer leaves of my spider plants are more yellow in colour? The old ones are whiter around the edges… it has been repotted about 4 weeks ago but still placed on the same windowsill it has always been since I got it, any advice:)

Accidentally snapped off the biggest leaf on my philodendron :(
Is there anything I can do to preserve it or something? I’d hate for it to go to waste…

What’s this plants name? It’s just says exotic angel plant and houseplant on it. It’s from costa farms I tried looking on website but couldn’t find it. Thanks! 😊

Somehow struggling with google on this but hoping someone can help. I have two Christmas trees (not sure what kind, they were live in a pot on our doorstep this past Christmas and I planted them a few months later.) They were super dry and I wasn’t sure if they were dead but planted them anyway.
I’ve been tracking the progress and one has these little green bulbs seemingly growing from the end of each branch while the other one is not growing them (seems that they are there but are brown). Pictures below. Any clue what these are? I assume the one where they are green means it’s still growing?
Thanks!

Is this enough sunlight?? This is S/SE facing and there’s another sky lite just out of frame. This area maybe gets an hour of direct sunlight at times. I want to place them in my window below but scared of burning leaves, it gets so hot with the sun beaming! Should I put a sheet curtain in that window to help this? I’m very new to plants! TIA 😊🪴

Hello! So I just wanted to pop on and mention a feature on this community page that might be of help to people. In the upper right corner there is a magnifying glass “search” button, this brings you to a search bar where you’re able to put in whatever key word you’re interested in. This will actually pull up people’s old posts (it will load posts from months and months ago if you keep scrolling down) along with the helpful comments that come along with this wonderful community. I feel like this would help both parties, those looking for help and those looking to help others. There’s been times I’ve had questions but feel they’ve probably been talked about to exhaustion and I’ll look it up via the search. Or other times when I see a post I want to help but get busy throughout the day and don’t want to scroll for a while to find it again, so I’ll use the search. Just thought some people would like to know that! 🪴💚

This is the first type of support I’ve ever done. I’m excited. I think it went pretty well with the materials I had. I had to tie knots in some string and use a chopstick. Below are pictures from the front and back. I’m hoping this cuts down on the amount of leaning and makes it look more organized. Let me know how I did. Thanks!! 😀😀

My philo moonlight is flowering!! So exciting! 🤩

I’m dying here! My plants had a brutal winter after flourishing outside on balcony during the summer months. I know it has to be the lack of sunlight during the fall and winter. I stocked up on grow lights, having them on for 12 hours at times, but just didn’t help. Any advice would be deeply appreciated.

Is there a reason my succulent has grown so tall?

Does anyone have a clue what’s growing out of my broadleaf palm tree??? I purchased this plant online and the seller didn’t have it in any dirt. I put my own dirt in it and now this is growing right next to it? Also yes I’m very aware my palm tree is unfortunately dying since the moment I got it :( but I’m so confused what this healthy thing is growing next to it.
