Hi everyone! New here. I'm going away for 10 days, most of the recommendations here is to water every week. Should I water more then usual before leaving or just wait until I come back and continue?

Anyone know what this is? It’s a random bulb I found in my cabinet. I’ve had it in water and the yellow leaves turned green and I’m about to put it up cause the bulb is getting squishy but I have no clue what it could be!

Hey all! I have this Purple Heart spiderwort I got from my aunt as a cutting back in April that I had propagated, and it’s been growing very well. I had the chopstick in to keep it growing vertically but noticed it was growing tall and thin. She said they normally grow down and hang so I didn’t have to keep it propped up. Well, I can’t keep it propped up anymore unless I tie it. I’m wondering what the normal characteristic/look of this plant is? Do I let it hang? It’s just one piece so I think that’ll look weird. Can I cut at the stem to propagate more pieces of the plant to grow? I’d appreciate any help or advice how/what to do with this plant moving forward. Thanks!

Super yellow leaves… looks like it’s mostly bottom leaves… not sure if that’s significant. Whats wrong? It has a humidifier.

Alright folks - is this a root growing 8 inches up my ficus elastica burgundy? I put keiki paste on the growth point next to it many months ago in hope of a branch (my doggo broke a leaf off there and it looks really bare). That obviously didn’t happen but now this thing is poking out. She’s also grown like 6 new leaves at the top since then. I’ve been debating chopping and propping her - maybe this is the sign to do it? What do you think?

What are you all using to clean your plant leaves? I have several plants whose leaves need cleaning but I’m not sure what to use. I’m hoping to maybe be able to use some stuff I already have around the house instead of having to go to the store again

hi everyone, I needed a little help with my plant right here. It’s a peacock plant. I recently got it and I got some advice to put it over pebbles with water to help with humidity. I also got advice to use filtered water rather than tapwater so I’ve also been watering it with filtered water. However, I do notice that there are a good amount of leaves dried up towards the bottom of the plant. I wanted advice on how to fix this issue so my plan could be healthy. At the same time I’ve also noticed new leaves that have Came out of the plant. For more context to I also live in Southern California. It is currently between 80°F-90°F in the day time. I do have a window AC that i run during the day to keep my room cool. The plant is no in the direct path of the air, it’s about 4feet away near a corner. If anymore context is needed I would greatly answer it, and take any recommendations for how to care better for this plant.

Any thoughts about the best brands for potting soil/growing medium ??

I cannot figure out what I’ve done wrong with my elephant ear plant. I’m following plantas instructions on lighting and watering and every leaf has slowly turned yellow and died. Now my final two leaves are goners… I repotted to make sure there wasn’t root rot…. Any thoughts?

I wasn’t supposed to get more plants…. But I rescued two from clearance at Lowe’s so I got 6 plants for $54 which feels like a good deal…. Plus one little freebie cause I found a golden pothos vine on the ground and they’re supper easy to root

i have a tradescantia nanouk and my friend is giving me a tradescantia pallida (purple spiderwart) and i was wondering if i could put them together? i’m running out of room and trying to find a way to save some space

Can anyone ID this dieffenbachia?

Does anyone happen to know what these white spots in the middle of the leaves and the yellowing on the outside could indicated?

A demonstration of the resilience of jade 😅 We just had an insaaane wind blow in from the south here in NEPA and it knocked this jade right off the table and onto her face. When I tell you this plant didn’t lose a single leaf in the ordeal…

I’m thinking of getting a star jasmine plant to be in my deck in the summer or indoors in winter. Does anyone have experience or recommendations on what kind of pot use?

Recently repotted by alocasia into a chunky soil. It’s orchid bark, perlite, and leca balls. Wondering if I should add some moist moss on top of the soil to keep it moist? Also how often should I water the plant when using this type of chunky soil. I have added photos for reference. Thanks in advance!
