My Alocasia dragon scale has a new baby coming up through the soil. Is that from a rhizome? Thank you.

A few of my plants are getting quite large and my question is......if I have a tall plant, like a foot and a half, should I try and focus the light on the top of the plant with the newer growth or more towards the bottom with the soil, roots, etc? I have a philodendron that has a REALLY long kind of.....skinny tree bark part that's like a third of the plant. It has no leaves, it's just curvy and like hard and rigid. Then at the top is the new growth and it's what I know a philodendron to to typically be. Will that newer area area eventually harden up like the lower area? Also will most definitely be getting her situated onto a moss pole now that she's not.....being a tree or whatever and is actually showing some aerial roots

Good morning, I’m a newbie plant Mum and just have some questions about as the season is changing. Do I alter my plant care when the heating goes on or when we light the fire? Is there general care tips or just assess each plant as I can. I have a range of different plants from a Monstera, some cactus plants, dragon tree plant and tradescantia . Thanks so much!

I just got my first greenhouse so this is my first winter with it. Can someone with one advise me how you keep it warm? What is the ideal temperature?

Am I crazy town for thinking of bringing my Cardinal climbers (Morning Glory family) in to my sunroom with grow lights to continue growing through the winter with all the rest of the plants? They are growing so crazy they already want to come in my house lol, I'm thinking that I would probably put them in water with pebbles make them semi hydro🧐🥴🤷♀️🤸♀️😂😂 Or am I just doing too much

I need recommendations for tall ( 5 ft+ ) standing grow lights to be able to get my monsteras and hanging baskets plants that are high up this winter . I have plenty of the clip lights but I need the tallern ones I'm unhappy with the reviews for all the ones I can find on Amazon including the sansei ones... Basically I have a sunroom that's going to have 100 plants in it and I need good full spectrum reliable lights for all of them 🤷♀️🙏😁🧡 please help I'm pulling my hair out over here reading reviews

My thanksgiving cactus is flowering for the first time!! I’ve had it for years and it’s been a pretty stagnant. I left it outside all summer and she’s so happy 😍

I have two of these ice plants that Im told they act very much like succulents. They dont seem to be doing great, lots of stems breaking off and the buds all look shriveled. I may need to get these right next to the window. Also the soil they came in doesnt seem to soak up water AT ALL. Im trying to let them be dry but Im open to any suggests ! Thanks

My favorite anthurium 🤩 the little red leaf growing in should end up stretching out to be a little larger than the big leaf - I’m excited!

My ficus elastica (actually three) is also producing new growth - not sure if new stems or leaves yet - and some heathy roots! I may gift some of these, honestly.

THREE new branches and a ton of roots! I was terrified to chop my ficus altissima but I’m so happy that I did. I am still trying to decide if I should pot the top back in with the momma or give it its own pot and chop the top again. Either way, I can’t wait to have a massive tree in my house!!

I need help with my draceanea dragon tree plant. I have repotted it in a bigger pot. The plant has gotten very tall. I've been told I can cut the stalk from the top and it will start growing new stalks below. Is that true? If yes , when should I do that? It is early fall right now. The plant has been outside all summer. It is indoors the rest of the year. Thank you.

It’s time to cut back my plants and I’m very reluctant to. Planta instructions are to measure back 1/3 of the length of the branch and cut there (keeping branching etc in mind). Does it really matter how far back I cut? What’s the closest to the ground that I could cut back and still have the plant grow out again in spring? Do I have to cut back at all? Any suggestions would be so appreciated. No need to answer the whole questionnaire 🙃 I got carried away! I cut her way back. I think it’s ok. So much cut off. Not really sure what to do with the off cuts. My plant is beautiful and I will be keeping a close watch.

Hello all! I have a very sad orchid plant. Or, perhaps the remnants of one? It was one of those grocery store orchids and though it was pretty I knew nada about keeping it alive. It was beautiful for a long time but died of bit by bit. I finally got the nerve and materials to repot it about 3 weeks ago. She’s not looking better…or worse. Does she just need time? I’ve read all the things and watched videos…I have what I think is a good mix for her growing medium and a proper pot…water her according to planta instructions. Do I just need to be patient, or is she too far gone to come back? Thanks in advance for any pointers you can share.

I have a large east facing window in my reading room that I’ve been using for plants for quite some time now. I got some new ones that the app says are too far away from the window… Is it okay that they’re a little further than they want them to be if the light is bright enough in the room? It’s a smaller room with all white walls and it gets about 5 hours of morning sun! There’s nothing to block this window so it gets a lot of backlight all day. I just want to make sure my plant babies are thriving!!! Thanks plant queens, I’m really new to this!!
