I have an avocado house plant. I read that they like to be misted. I live in a dry climate where it is 50% humidity most of the time. How often should I mist him?

Our Plants

Extreme Heat. Yesterday our dwarf lime and lemon trees took a hit in 104° with direct sunlight …. Today another hot day at 109°. So they get the umbrella which I can monitor all day. Does anyone have any other suggestions to help them through a week have. Indoors not an option

Generally, what is the overall best window for plants? I have an east and south window in my room. I’m getting a plant stand to put all my plants on and I want to know which one would be the best. My south window has a house next to it so I know that will affect sunlight and everything. I have about 20 plants that varies in amount of sunlight. Please let me know any other tips or recommendations you guys have! Also, if you have any other plant stands that you guys love let me know because I am working with a kinda small space! thank you!

I Wet My Plants

Hi Planta People! I could use some assistance. Is enough light for my Ficus Burgundy? This is 2pm afternoon lighting. My plant is surrounded by windows but about 3 FT from the main window that shines in bright light.

Hi I’m seeking some advice I’m still relatively new at growing plants but I was just kind of wondering what my Lily is doing. It bloomed a few months ago and I was kind of wondering tops are kind of brown. I don’t know if it’s dying if I cut those any help will be appreciated

Hello everyone! I have a question on this plant. I have never had a bromeliad before so this is the one I am learning from. I’ve had it for about two months and now the flower has little shoots coming out. What is happening and what do I do with them? I haven’t been able to find any good tips on this one.

Hello! What kind of plants will survive in a bathroom?

Propagating money tree I'm trying to propagate my money tree. I've recently cut off 2 pieces and I put them in jars of water. What can I add to make the roots grow faster? Also, What should I do with my dying momey tree which the stems had come from? There's only one base bark which is not suffering from root rot, but the other is. What should I do?

Hello! I have an orchid that I’ve had for several years and when I bought it, it had flowers but once those died it never grew back new ones. The plant is very healthy and has roots that keep growing but no new flowers. Any ideas what I could do?

Has anyone used grow lights for their indoor plants? I have all my plants in my room but I only have one window. Is there any recommendations for grow lights?

One of the best lessons I’ve learned in my experience keeping plants is to get up close & personal with them! If you use the progress update feature in the app, use that time to pick your plants up; poke around in the soil; give them a gaze from all angles and notice growth patterns; maybe clip little bits away that might not need to be there. I’ve found it really helpful to get to know my plants like this — it’s made me a better & more confident plant keeper (lover) all around 💚😊
