I just took my plants to our neighborhood nursery, they repotted them for a charge. Fantastic job

What is the best large palm for inside the home? I have an outdoor palm that I bring in during summer and I absolutely love the look of it but it’s huge. It’s probably about 7 feet tall and gets pretty wide, but it also has spider mites that I am trying to control and I can’t seem to get taken care of so I want something that looks similar, but it’s good for indoors

HELP!!!!! I bought a Chinese evergreen and initially placed her inside my apartment where she would get indirect bright light and she started drooping and dying. I’ve placed her in my room but I felt like she was in the dark like in my bathroom. It’s been pretty humid outside and I read they like humidity but idk if I’m doing the right thing. She does have some shade out here but idk if it’s right. 🥺

If you were looking for your sign to use keiki paste (I think I spelled that correctly?) HERE IT IS . Every node pictured was lightly scored and had keiki paste applied

Please be kind, I’m just a beginner. Someone gave me this aloe vera plant six years ago and he’s just getting way too big for what they put him in, how do I transfer him without killing him?!
Lex
Anyone have any tips on repotting. I’ve never done it, I’m scared that I’ll kill my plant. They are so healthy and growing so strong that I don’t want to mess with him! But he’s getting way too big, he’s starting to become top-heavy and lean over!

Does anyone know what’s happening to her☹️ And if so how do I make her healthy again?
Nikki
Any idea what's going on with her?

I’m not really sure if this is actually the name of the plant but I got it with three leaves very healthy looking and then instantly died a few days after I bring it home now I have this little baby leaf and I ended up cutting the last dead leaf yesterday just wanted to know if I did that correctly

So I have this snake plant that seems to not be doing well and I have no idea what to do. I’ve been watering it and everything I could think of and it still seems to not be growing.

Hi everyone, the leaves on my lipstick mona plant are turning yellow. It is in a spot with direct sunlight, and I have been on a watering schedule. The soil is dry. What do you think the issue is?

Hi there! How do you account for self watering pots on here? I don’t see that option, perhaps I’ve missed it somewhere. I have my violet, peace lily and calathea in self watering pots, tends to keep them happier more consistently. Appreciate the help!

I have a question, is it good to have a humidifier for all plants or just certain plants?

When Planta suggests to clean leaves would this be a good time to spray with Neem Oil? I have a Peace Lily and an Orchid which require wiping leaves with damp cloth.

Does anyone know if Aloe Vera’s are bottom feeders? Or can they be?

I was trying to add my orchid on to planta, so when I checked for drainage holes, I noticed that there was a incredibly foul scent coming from the orchid. So I dumped the water, but my orchid still smells like wet earth meets sewer. Does anyone know what it is?

I’m getting back into plants, I have put a few on this shelf and it is in direct sunlight from the window but I fear it’s too far away, if I put it against the back door the patio covers the sunlight coming in. What should I do for the best lighting for my indoor plants?

Hi everyone, I love my plants, lots of jade plants. Some said I need to hard prune them. What’s your advice?

I’m new to lemon trees and trying to grow one. So I was misting it and noticed the water sitting and realized it was cobwebs!!! Does anyone know what to do, and/or what spider or whatever it is did this?
