My basil stems are woody.. I’ve read this is ok but makes the basil taste different. If I cut it off will it grow non woody stems or should I just start over? Thanks in advance for the advice!!

Anyone have tips for getting saffron crocus’ to bloom? They’re growing amazingly tall in containers in good draining soil, only 5 bulbs/containers, currently over wintering in my garage under a grow light for 16hr/day. (Squirrels and cold temps and extremely cloudy/windy days forced me to overwinter them) They’re like 12” tall but doesn’t seems to have any flower stems yet just the hair like leaves. Planted them at the end of Sept and they were outdoors for maybe 5weeks before going to overwinter in nov. there are also loads of sprouts from each bulb, I think I’ve counted like 50 ‘stems’ that have come up and unplanted 20 bulbs (& 1 bulb got stollen by a squirrel) This is my first time doing crocus’ so still a super noob.

Grow lights! I’m a beginner with plants and live in (not so) sunny Scotland, what is everyone’s thoughts on grow lights? Is there a particular one I should get or does the one in the picture look ok from Amazon? Any tips or tricks welcome, thanks! 🌱🤩

What can actually survive & thrive in this lil 10' Spring Iron Prism Planter? Since I have started using Planta, it seems many plants need drainage. I purchased it years ago with growing herbs on my window sill in mind. Any ideas would be graciously appreciated. Thanks!🌵🪴🌻🌲🌴🍁

I bought Jessie on Monday on clearance for 50% off ($8). It's my 1st Aglaonema. She is bone dry! Has 3 new leaves coming out. A new stalk? (Is that what is called?) coming out of the soil, along with many roots. Question is, should she be repotted with new soil now vs putting more soil over to cover the roots vs waiting until spring? Should I water it and repot after the leaves open up? So many questions? What do you guys think for this scenario? Thanks in advance! Also what is WG in the name stand for?

Does anyone know what these white dots are? I have been told it might be mold fertilizer… but I’m not for sure so I’m asking on here. I have gotten rid of them before and added new soil but it keeps coming back

🚨‼️In search of advice‼️🚨 My partner bought me a ginseng ficus for our 6 year anniversary and I keep doing the wrong thing. The leaves keep yellowing. I’m currently watering with the schedule the app recommends and misting occasionally. This is the first “medium” difficult plant I have cared for and I do not want to watch it slowly die. I moved her to a south facing window today to see if it helps. I have spotted yellow leaves that were not present this morning though and I’m starting to worry more. Do I need to repot? There are roots coming out of the bottom and top. I just need advice if anyone can tell what I’m doing wrong :[

Hey guys, so i became a plant mom like a month ago but then my birthday came around and i am flooded with 14 plants as a first time plant mom and I NEED TIPS. When should I repot my money tree and my elephant ear plant? and should i be fertilizing in the winter since they’re indoor? and my trade scantia leaves are getting little dry brown spots on it lately and i’m not sure what to do. Also tips for the best overall soil and remedies for dry air?

My grandmother enlisted my help cleaning her house and I found this giant Aloe plant growing out of the pot! It has to have been growing like this for years. Any ideas how to get it seated back inside the pot? Thanks!

New plant parent here! There’s a couple pretty expensive plant stores near me that sell beautiful plants but have a limited selection for anything else plant care. I am looking to repot some of my monsteras soon and need everything from pots to fertilizer to soil. What are some of your go-tos and where do you get them?

This is catnip. First time growing it. I have no idea what to do next for this plant! Do I cut the leaves now that it’s bloomed and how do I do it? I don’t want to harm it and kill it by ignorance! 😫 help!

I recently found a love for houseplants when my best friend gifted me a propagated spider plant from her home as a house warming gift to me. The first photo is of her when she was gifted to me … the second was taken today. My question for all you plant parents out there is how do I encourage her to grow thicker/fuller? I feel like she is looking very lanky but maybe this is normal?

🚨🆘 PLANT HELP 🚨🆘 So my husband recently recommended i put my plant outside for some “extra sunlight” and after a couple of days i forgot to bring it inside. Winter is approaching so it dried out all the leaves 😔, do you think i can restore this plant? Or is it completely over? 🥀🏴‍☠️

I bought this dolphin on Amazon, it arrived like this, is it alive or is it going to die ?

My Hoya that I’ve had for two years has new leaves that are a different shape. Is this normal? I’m used to seeing the round very thick leaves.

My orchid is growing a new stem and idk what to do now that it is growing. I usually kill these but after it was dying I put it in a corner and forgot about it. Now new stem. Any words of advice would be helpful.
