Hello! How often do you guys water your inch plants? I haven’t had mine very long and a few days after I watered it, some leaves looked overwatered and I keep snoozing Planta’s reminder for it. About half of the soil is still wet. Thank you for your help!

Any tips on growing my prayer plant to be fuller/taller? Would it benefit from a trellis or moss pole? Thanks !

This might not be as helpful as it would’ve been during the winter but theres a fabric tray that you can get online/at Walmart so you can repot inside without any mess!! I have one and I highly recommend it!

Okay I need help…. I like this plant, and it is putting out new growth every 2-3 weeks. But that being said I find once a new leave is visible then the oldest mature leaf starts to droop, wilts, then subsequently dies. The most she is able to handle is 2 mature leaves and 1 juvenile leaf. She is only watered when needed and she also is in east facing window (right on the window sill). Everything I see on line they should be a bunch of leaves… what am I doing wrong?

Roommate gifted me this lovely asparagus fern, unfortunately as cute as the pot it came in is, it doesn't have any holes on the bottom. any advice on repotting an asparagus fern?

Do you guys think it’s better to wait to repot a new plant so they can acclimate to the new environment, or to repot right away to “treat” (i.e. fresh soil medium, clean pot, etc.) for any hidden pests? Note: an isolation period is observed in either case.

Hello my Planta People! This is my first post after having just joined the app and community. When watering multiple plants in a day, how are you making sure your plant isn’t sitting in the excess water under the pot? And what are some of the tips you’ve learned to be more efficient with doing so? (Some examples I can think of are using pot risers, using a suction straw to collect from the drip plate, batching movements such as transferring to a watering tub & back, etc.)

A recently purchased fiddle leaf fig leaves are curling dry leaves is dropping others. I do realize I just recently moved it. Could that be the only reason it’s dropping leaves and how many leaves will it drop before I should be really really concerned. I had another fiddly fig that I had for several years that I repotted and it died on me. I’m trying to keep this one alive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
