Alright yall it is time to finally plant my overdue propos! I’m very excited however a little bit hesitant to get started. These are Philodendron Basil propagations, and they have been thriving for quite a while. I haven’t had overly a lot of time to plant them yet (busy schedule and whatnot) and they’ve been pretty content but I’m going to finally get to potting them. Now, I’ve done a little research, and from what it sounds like a mix of Orchid Bark and all perpous potting soil sounds about right? If not, what would you recommend? Also, with the pot size, I have a couple small pots and a couple larger pots. I was gunna start with the smaller pots, and from the looks of it they range between 4 and a half inches to 2 and a half. Which would be best to start out with? Or any measurements in between? I’m kind of nervous since it’s my first time planting my propos, and I’ve gotten really attached to these guys and really wanna keep them alive and do this stuff right. *note, I took this photo at night so I had to take it into my bathroom to see lol. My plant is growing in light I promise!!*

Should I repot my Imperial Green that had a very prosperous spring and summer? Or is she ok in that pot until spring?

Hello plant pros! As it's autumn in the northern hemisphere, I need some tips. Details: -I live in North America -It gets REALLY cold beginning in about November -It's decently dark nearly every day So my questions are: -Should I stop feeding my plants? When? -is this a good time to repot? Bigger? Smaller? -How can I keep them alive? In winter I don't expect thriving and actively growing. Thanks in advance!

🌱 Plant question 🌱 I’ve got myself a moisture meter to check the soil moisture levels of my plants… It’s telling me that all of my plants are dry — which has left me wondering whether I should be watering based on what the meter is saying, or whether I should just stick to my Planta app, which keeps track of when I last watered each plant 🪴 What do you guys use? 👀 Would you trust the moisture meter, or go by the Planta app? And if you use a moisture meter, do you find them accurate? 🌿💧 Let me know because I don’t want to accidentally love my plants to death with too much water! 😂

Hey, so I have a grow light station for most of my plant babies and it works great but it’s not able to be synced to the sunset and the sunrise or have a timer so it’s ends up being on all day everyday. I’m wondering if this is bad for my plants and or if you have any ideas that would be great too Thank youuu🙏🙏🪴🥲

Is there a way to tell planta you’ve repotted your plants or just change the setting?

Plant Care Apps Premium Plans!? 👑 🤑 I was wondering between ‘Planta’ and ‘PictureThis’ apps, if does it worth to pay for premium plans to get tips fixing plant diseases..🤔 Does anybody would like to share its experience? 🙂 I am in a trial for the PictureThis app.. I like how it gives simple remedies to fix plant diseases, like cinnamon and milk. Although, sometimes I think the identifies spider mites where there is none. 😕

Does anyone have any tips on how to keep an Alocasia (Specifically an Alocasia micholitziana) happy? I know they can be difficult plants and mines goes in and out of good health. I've considered transitioning it to LECA but wanted some tips on overall care.
