Hi guys. I am here again with another query. I bought this Zz plant about a month ago. And today, i was trying to repot it only to find out how much root bound it was. The roots are pretty tight in real and i couldn’t even loosen it a-bit. I am afraid if i wrestle down a little, the roots will be disturbed. What would be the best thing to do with such roots in a Zz plant?
I found one of my wishlist plants on FB marketplace this morning for a great price - $10! There were some red flags though. 1) a Calathea this size would usually be $20-$30 (Canadian) on marketplace, 2) It’s a mature size plant (about 2 feet tall) in a 6 inch pot but only has 3 leaves 🤔. So I immediately knew something must be wrong with it and the seller had probably decided to cut her losses and sell it instead of continuing to deal with the problem. I picked it up anyway, and I could see she had previously cut away maybe 10 leaves. It was in a heavy soil with no drainage pot, so I started to repot it once I got it home, and found what was definitely a small cluster of eggs from some insect in there. I threw out all the soil, washed off the roots and sprayed the roots, stems and leaves with my neem oil mixture. I’m going to repot in my homemade tropical mix. I’ve never had good luck saving plants before. Any thing else I should keep in mind? Really hoping I can save this beauty.
Finally got my top wishlist plant! So happy right now! She’s a Stromanthe Triostar!
Looking for a recommendation for the best affordable grow light bulb I can put in one of my existing lamps at home. I have all north facing windows and I want to boost the existing light! Let me know your faves👇🏼💛🔆🔅
Is it game over for my peace Lilly? He was in perfect health when I left the office on Friday but it’s been a hot weekend. I’ve given him a water and a mist this morning.
Can anyone help with my calathea? It recently started extremely drooping. I thought this was due to underwatering so I let it drink by placing it in a bowl of water. I also watered over the top because the soil felt really dry. It isn’t drinking any more water so I’m not sure what the problem is. One more thing to note is that our windows have been closed lately due to excessive heat in our area so it hasn’t gotten much light. Any suggestions?
Have a new plant area! Really excited. My second aloe and my first pothos. Any suggestions for the pothos I’d appreciate it!
Hello! Would greatly appreciate any advice…. I just planted tulip and freesia bulbs in pots for the first time (live in Texas), and watered them well. Do I leave in a shady spot or sunny spot for the winter? Do I allow it to get rain water, or should I keep on covered patio and water myself? If so, how often? Thanks for reading! 😁
My scindapsus is growing lovely vines but no leaves. It’s been a while but no leaves are growing. It lives in an east facing window. Any ideas/comments? Thanks!
New elephant ear soon to unfurl🥰
Anyone know what type of plant this is? Thanks!
4 months after alley rescue, Cole is blooming!

I love coming into the front room and seeing this plant in the sunlight. So relaxing.
Trimming down some pokeweeds in my backyard before a freeze tonight!
I just got this plant at a farmers market! Can anyone help me identify it? It looks sorta like string of pearls but not quite the same :)
One of the new leaves on my white birds on my white bird of paradise has small little white dots. Could this be thrips eggs because my plants have gotten them recently
Are these color of leaves mean they are starting to get overwatered? I have about 6 leaves like this but the rest are dark green.

Do y’all just do soil or do you mix anything with your soil for house plants?
