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. 😕
What do you guys think about this?👀 Yay or nay!?
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.
What is the best way to take care of this lucky bamboo? Anything I need to watch out for? Its currently growing in a water thingy with no soil, no clue what thats called.
Okay, my elephant ear ‘black magic’ has roots that have started to wander, really quickly. Is this a good thing? Should I repot in a bigger pot? Are these aerial roots or should I try to get them to go into the pot?

Hi everyone! I just bought this philodendron pink princess yesterday and I’m looking for some care taking tips. Feel free to share the best info you have to keep it healthy! Thank you! 😊
I need Polka Dot Begonia help 🥲 I love this plant so much. I’ve been following care instructions to the best of my abilities but she still seems sad. I’ve had this plant for about 3-4 months now and I’ve not seen any growth, the tips of the leaves are struggling (which I see often in these plants) and she’s actually lost a leaf since I’ve had it. Does anyone have any wizard advice that they can share to help her thrive??
This little orange peeler works wonders when breaking up the nursery soil from the roots gently!!!
I have been experimenting with putting a 1/2 inch layer of sphagnum moss at the very bottom of some of my indoor potted plants, beneath the soil. I did it for my Peace Lily, since I know they have high watering needs, but also tried it with a Philodendron Pluto, and have had success with that as well. Just a little bit of help with retaining moisture that may want to seep out the bottom. I also bottom water pretty much exclusively. Maybe give it a shot for those plants that you don’t want to water as often as they demand 👀👀
Should I trim my monsters down to encourage thicker growth? Or what should I do? I bought it for $10 at a garage sale and I’m trying to recover it the best I can!
Over the moon about my new oxalis !!!! Any tips will be appreciated !
I think my plant posse likes that I leave the AC off when I’m out! I bet that helps hold some humidity in the air…
My lemongrass are currently on the recovery from being almost dead (I put them back outside when the weather got warmer but it suddenly got colder again) and I want to make sure I give them the best care possible. My dog keeps eating them and I don’t know how to stop her. Any tips?

Hello all new to plants here and have been doing fairly well. Downloaded the app just to use to help out a little bit here and there. I have a question I have about four plants that I purchased and brought home. I put them in the spot where I want them to go and they are still their containers. When should I repot them together forever home thank you in advance for your help.
I just bought an angel wings plant. Can anyone recommend some tips?
Hi everyone, my son read about doing a leaf prop from a jade plant, so on a whim and a little experiment we thought we'd give it a go. So we removed around 6 leaves from the mother plant and laid them on soil on a plate and misted the soil occasionly. 5 leaves rotted and died, this one survived and started growing fine little roots, I moved it to this pot and I'm amazed it survived and has worked. What I'm wondering is, is it safe to remove from the Mother leaf (which is currently giving all her nutrients to her babies) and repot the babies (it's currently in a pot with zero drainage 😱) Or should I wait for the Mum leaf to completely dry out and die before attempting anything? I'm being extremely cautious with watering as there's no drainage. Any advice would be welcome, I really don't want to get this wrong now we've come this far. Thank you.
