Ya’ll ever heard of perpetual stew? A pot of ingredients that folks would continually eat from & add to for months or years? Well my large outdoor planters have perpetual soil, bc the soil at the bottom of those pots is none of my business!! Been there for years
Good morning, plant parents! Just wondering if this will help to promote roots in my Alocasia? I sealed some sphagnum moss in the rhizome with cling wrap. 😊 Also, will tying her like that will train her to fix her posture? She’s facing a big glass door with screen door as filter. Thanks!
What is wrong with my spider plant? There is that little thing that I am holding!! Thank you so much in advance!!!
Wish List Wednesday! What are some of the top plants on your wish list?!
Absolutely floored! From 7:45am this morning to 1:30pm this afternoon, this baby has put in a full shift, working hard today lol 🌵🌺 😍
is my plant OK? I think these are just old leaves that are turning yellow.
….and I took her Home! So lush and full, hoping to keep her that way😍
Hey everyone! :) So, I only have east & west facing windows in my apartment, each blocked by other apartment complexes lol so not much “direct sunlight”. & Sometimes, I like to open the window for the outdoor breeze to come in. Which plants can I keep by the open window side and which plants should I keep away from it? I’m afraid my plants will dry up 😣 (Not pictured is a small arrowhead plant, but it belongs in the lineup)
I posted this on the Monstera board a few days ago but I am looking for more information, please. My Thai Con was in bad shape, so I chopped it. This is what is left. I have roots, but should I: 1) Just plant them? 2) Trim leaves and put in a prop box to strengthen? 3) Leave in water for awhile? Thanks!
Just wanted to show you guys this amazing begonia we have at work. Shes sooo gorgeous, i might ask if i can have a cutting sometime :33
I just got him today and I really don’t know what he is. I don’t think he looks too bad maybe sick? Is there anything special I should be doing for him?
My sister got me this beauty for my birthday. I feel SEEN 😍 I’ve never had a palm before - excited to learn about a new plant!
Is there any hope of getting this dumb cane back to health? It’s been through some neglect in the past year, and it’s also been quite picky with light and watering. I’ve added it to my plant care schedule on Planta, so now I know the proper care it needs and hopefully it will recover. If you have any tips, though, please share!
Just got this Geranium at Walmart and it’s wobbly and not to stable at the base. It’s definitely leaning a bit. Any tips? Do I repot? Also do I cut the whole flower part off so it can focus on leaves more?
Hey. Just rescued this Aloe Vera a few days ago from The Home Depot. Anyone know what this is? It’s growing on the side. Is it a separate plant?
My kind of pest control
Any tips for new plant keepers
Bought my first Anthurium (Crystallinum) in Dec. The minute after clicking BUY I realized the folly of purchasing a tropical plant -by mail-in the dead of winter. She arrived looking rough, despite adding a heat pack. She only got worse from there. After about a month I realized I could kill her stem by stem or try cutting her back & putting stems in moss/perlite prop boxes & hope for the best. Well, it worked. These are not even all the stems that are thriving. I have another one in soil & 2 small plastic containers with multiple stems showing growth. Moral of the story, moss/perlite prop boxes save lives. 🙌🏼 PS: These are in chunky soil with 50% perlite/moss in a self watering pot in my "greenhouse" (plastic display boxes) in a south facing window.
My jade has been in this pot since 7/25/24 and has grown well. It recently started sprouting roots near the bottom. Does this mean I should repot? Should I repots and take off the bottom leave to pot lower in a pot? Do the aerial roots mean something else?
I tried planting my rose today! This is new experiment, we shall we how it goes! Any tips, please share! 🌹
