We have this Syngonium at work that is obviously in dire need of repotting. My question is .. how would you do it? It appears to have a well established healthy looking root system but the long bare stems make me wonder if it would be better to cut, root and then pot? Or can I just bury most of the bare part of the stems in new soil and let them provide more/new healthy roots? There are a lot of arial nubs that look perfect for rooting. Just not sure what the best option is… and yes, I know it’s very under-watered at the moment. Definitely needs some rescue tlc which is what I plan to do. Thanks in advance.

Good? Bad? Was recently reported with Fox Farm organic, orchid mulch and pumice. I’ve neglected my plant chores for two days, but one of her long leaves was encroaching on my Calathea before bed time.

Hi! I got a dragon scale a couple weeks ago and i’ve been told that i should cut the bulbs off? i’m nervous about snipping her as she is tiny still and i don’t know whether i should leave her alone and let her grow or if it’s better to cut them so she can grow stronger?

My ponytail palm didn’t do well when I first got it, but I think it’s stabilizing now. It’s got some new growth at the top. However, it’s still got some half brown straggly parts. Should I cut them off just where they’re brown, or at the base of the leaf?

Just got two plants in that I ordered from a plant shop on Instagram… needless to say I’m pretty disappointed :(
Not sure if it’s the seller or shipper’s fault, but for paying $100+ for two plants, I expected them to be in better condition. They’re an Aglaonema Pictum Tricolor and an Alocasia Zebrina for anyone wondering.
Any tips (especially for the aglaonema) to help them recover would be much appreciated!🫶🏻

Is it healthy for a poka dot begonia to be cut back? I’m so worried to do it😟

Does this seem like enough light for a money tree? The windows there face east but the yard is pretty shaded so the tree won’t get any direct sunlight.
The tree had been in a window getting lots of direct (west, sunset) sunlight … but it was also near a door and I think it didn’t like the cold draft from opening and closing the front door.

Any peace lily parents have any advice/insight into why this leaf may be turning brown along the sides? I’m used to seeing some slight brown tips but not usually large portions along the sides. Its only this leaf, and it’s under a bunch of other leaves on the side not facing my window and probably gets the least amount of light, so I think it’s likely just lack of sun potentially? Should I cut her off?
No sign of pests, all the other leaves are looking good and I have some nice healthy blooms. She’s 24 inches tall and I water her approximately every 10 days as she takes a very long time for her soil to start becoming dry and I noticed that when I was watering her every 7 days her soil was still very moist. I have a low humidity environment but she lives in my bathroom next to my shower to try and counteract that

Any idea what’s going on with my Coleus? Leaves are curling, turning yellow, and then falling off. New growth also is falling off. I’ve kept it pretty watered and in partial sunlight but nothing seems to help

I used up my last energy when carrying this huge Ficus elastica to the bathtub. It was so dusty and was in desperate need of a shower 🙏
Are you team Shower your plants 🚿
or Cleaning the leaves with a cloth? 🧼

i have what seems to be aerial roots on my new plant, do they need to be underneath soil or are they alright to just stick out?

Is there any reason why my spider plant isn’t giving babies? It’s about a year old. There is no drainage in her pot but there are small rocks at the bottom, keeping her alive.

Buying my 2nd Alocasia Polly just seemed like the right thing to do! 😍🫶🏾🌱

Hi friends! I would classify myself as an amateur houseplant mama, pretty decent at keeping my plants alive and helping them grow. But I admit I still have a TON to learn.
That being said, I will ask probably a very beginner question: should all of my houseplants be in pots with drainage holes? Most of mine are in pots without holes - they have been fine with that & I don’t tend to overwater.. but I really want them to thrive! What would you say the general rule is in your experience?
Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated! :)

(yes I know that misting does little for humidity, yes I still love to do it) 😂
