What do you guys do with roots that are coming out of the bottom of your pot but you don’t want to upsize? My polka dot plant is getting really long roots!
I put my 🐊 fern in a terracotta pot… now it’s growing mold??? was this a bad decision? Any other recommendations for pot? - ok ferns like humidity and i’ve been putting in the bathroom when I shower… maybe i just wasn’t giving it time to dry… i put it outside for the time being
I’m not an Alocasia frydek expert and could use advice on switching from Fluval Stratum to another substrate. It was in chunky soil but kept losing leaves and never grew. I moved it to Stratum in a mini greenhouse, and it was down to just a stump and roots before bouncing back. I know Stratum isn’t ideal long term, so I’m planning to move to Lechuza Pon but worry about transfer shock undoing its progress. Has anyone made this switch successfully? Any tips to make it easier on the plant? Thank you!
How can I help my girl flourish more???
Hey if any of you have to repot to a snake plant did you know that below the roots you can use regular soil and rocks.it creates air pockets and above it you can use just regular soil and if you have drainage it will grow perfectly healthy roots I am doing it for my snake plant so I know.
Any tips on creating humidity for a white knight philodendron without a humidifier?

Hi! I am new to indoor plants and I’m wondering when I should repot this bromeliad. I’ve had this plant since April and it’s in a 6’ pot currently. What are the signs I’m looking for to indicate it needs to be moved into a larger pot?

Hey! I’m ‘somewhat’ new to indoor gardening, I have a tiny bit of experience but tbh I don’t know a ton. I want to create a binder full of useful general information on all things indoor gardening. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should include in the binder, or just useful information that could come in handy? Open to all ideas!! Thanks! 🌿
I’ve been growing these dragon fruit for about a week and the grey ones have sprouted but the yellow ones were planted in different soil and aren’t doing anything any tips?
I think I killed my Majestic Palm plant. 😞😞😵 My other plants are doing great.
I just adopted this green bean peperomia from my mom because it was really unhappy where it was at our cottage -on a windowsill getting a lot of light and water once a week- but it looks very strange and it keeps dropping leaves. I repotted it and watered it and put it in a less sunny area since I believed it was getting too much sun. What is wrong with her? How do I make her happy? She looks like a Dr Seuss drawing. Like she’s running away from her pot.
Can anyone tell me how to get my Kalanchoe to flower? She’s growing lots but all of the cute little pink flowers she had when I first got her have been gone for a while. I’ve had her in bright light, low light, frequent watering, very little watering, and she’s been fine through it all but I cannot get those flowers to return. Any tips?
Can anyone explain how to properly propagate a succulent? I wanna take some cuttings of my little pinwheel because I’m worried i might not have treated its issue fast enough, but I don’t know how I’d go about making sure it has roots and stuff
Hi! Help Please! I am struggling with this aloe in my office. We were doing well as I was watering once every 2-3 weeks and then recently I think I may have over watered and it's gone downhill from there. It is also to my understanding that this could be from sun stress? I just rewatered for the first time in about 2 weeks. Any advice would be kindly appreciated. Thank you!
