Is there an easy way to find posts that you have created in the past?

I got this swiss cheese plant about two weeks ago and have had it under a grow light since. I changed the soil when I first got it but kept it in its nursery pot. Some of the leaves seem to be yellowing around the edges and new growth stays small and eventually turns yellow and then crispy brown. It also has some crunchy brown tips on some of the leaves. Can anyone tell me what to do in order to keep it happy?

**For starters, I am still a novice plant parent** So, I take care of an elderly woman who is unable to care for her plants, and she had this massive (and overgrown) I believe split leaf philodendron? I want to be able to clean it up for her and getting back to looking neat, and wanted some advice on what the best way to do this is! It branches off into two different directions, and she let me take a cutting of what was the third branch home with me! So, now is my next question — how should I properly propagate this guy? Should I let it callous over for a day, should I leave it in water for a bit, should I plant it? Should I cut the stem from the base of the new growth entirely? It has very long aerial roots hanging off, only one of which actually found its way into the dirt. I was going to trim the ends which seemed a bit too soft and try placing the tips in water, but I didnt want to do anything that would mess it up. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey planty friends! ☺️🪴 I’ve noticed sooo many post in the last few weeks about people who’s plants have gotten frost damage on the way home from your store. I’m sorry for everyone’s lost and damaged plants! I wanted to give a tip that might help. If you ask the cashier to give you an extra plastic bag or two, you can cover the plant and the pot and gently tie it shut. That should give you some grace time to get to the car. A plant store might have a box you could have. If you use reusable shopping bags, they work too. If you’ve been shopping for over an hour, I would buy your other things, go warm up the car, and then go back for the plant you want. If your somewhere that’s subzero—first of all, my condolences—an insulated bag that for frozen groceries or picnics can be a life saver! I think that last tip was shared earlier this week by PlantyAnn. I hope this helps at least one plant lol Good luck everyone! Happy growing 🌿

Okay guys, so all the flowers have fallen off! (They lasted for awhile) Do I cut the stems down as far as a can? Do you think the size of the plant is appropriate for the pot it’s in? Or should I repot?

Anybody know what this is? it started growing in my monstera pot

i recently bought this pink dalmatian plant. I don’t know what i did to it! there’s a chance it happened when i brought it to my car in the cold. Does anyone know what happened?

Help! Advice?!Bc of the negligence of our upstairs neighbor, our first floor apt flooded. It’s now considered unlivable, and we have to temporarily move. Clean up company has not had to deal with a plant collection like mine. I can’t move them all, I’m taking my baby babies, the rest they said they will try to work around?! They tried to look into a greenhouse I guess but that was a no go. (The picture is just of one corner. )

I’m trying to add more plants to my life. I have this ginseng ficus that isn’t doing so well. Planta says it’s due to unbalanced watering. I’m supposed to prune the worst parts. Do I trim right back to the main part of each branch? Also any helpful hacks for busy schedules and watering. I’m trying hard here and the poor plants just don’t seem happy.

I love essential oils and have a couple of diffusers. Then I realized… with just water, they’re mini humidifiers!! 😲 Hoping to keep my sunroom plants happy in the warmer house this winter!

I’ve been battling spider mites for almost three weeks and I think I’ve won! I found no mites on any plants during my weekly check. I think I’ll treat them for another week just to be safe but I’m feeling proud and relieved today.😊 Pictured is some of the after math of today’s work.

How do I know if this Tillandsia melanocrater is dead or not or can I revive it

Took this sad, neglected Christmas planter from a family member and gave all the plants a second chance!
