This was my first plant baby. She has grown so much. However is only growing taller and it’s starting to lean. I put some support sticks in. Will this plant grow wider instead of taller? If so any advice on how to do that?
hi does anybody have a good recommendation to buy online like something to hold my plants on maybe a shelf or something not to expensive!
Does anyone know if you have to harden off/acclimatize plants to the outdoors if you overwintered them with grow lights? I have saffron crocuses that never wilted back so I was advised to over winter them with grow lights for 6hrs a day (and just a couple weeks ago I upped it to 12hrs with spring being eminent) it’s getting near our last frost date (zone 6B) so it’s time to bring them out but should I do it gradually? They never wilted back and got suuuuuuper long.
I just really want to know if I’m taking care of this plant the right way because I really don’t know if I have the right name for it
What is the current opinion on drainage options for replanting - adding rocks or similar to the bottom of the pot? Or is just potting soil okay?
My mom was gifted this beautiful arrangement for my sweet late grandmother's service. She wants to eventually repot them into their own containers. They seem to be doing great so far and her Peace Lily even has some blooms (can't see in this picture). She's afraid that some might die if not repotted correctly. Any advice on when she should do that and how she would go about separating them? Should they be kept together? Are they fine for now? Thanks in advance!
Plant friends, how do you divide a calathea? What type of soil should I use for repotting?
HELPPPP 😭😭😭i forgot about it and now she’s all dry and losing leaves. what can i do besides watering
Plant food question- I have the Arber plant food set. It’s the right amount when I’m feeding most of my plants but now that I’ve started using the app to manage schedules they all need food at different times and i end up with too much leftover. Do you know - can I mix up a batch of the Arber food and save it to use over the course of a few weeks? Or should I just snooze and feed all my plants every 2 weeks and just hope they’re thirsty as that point? Pic of my monstera for attention 🙃
Hi!!! Can anyone recommend to me some good, not too expensive plant stands for these locations in my house?? Calling all home decor lovers, as well!!!! 😭😂 do have cats, so need something that will not have plants right at the floor, but still have lots and lots of room which I clearly need. TIA!
What do you all think about using a grow light, the single one that you stick into your pot?
I’ve never propagated a plant before but I’m attempting to with this leaf from my Chinese money plant. Will this work?
How do I keep away these little nats that are now in my house because of how many plants I have? I don’t think I want to get any plants that eat bugs though as my dogs might touch them and kill them.
My brother just git a young banana plant and many leaves has some kind of fungal disease so I chopped the leaves off it only has 2 leaves left what can I do to make sure it’s healthy and grows?
Elephant foot palm, I cut the top off because it lots all it's leaves it's been 2 months the top died and I water the stump but I haven't seen anything, do I give up ?
Does my shingle plant look healthy? It was in a smaller pot. I repotted it hopefully I didn’t kill it.
Does anyone have a homemade recipe for indoor fertilizer for all my plants? TIA
Do Raven ZZ’s revert or is mine loosing its colour bc it’s in too bright? These stems are not new, the plants had them for 6 months now they can’t still be getting their dark colour can they? Left is the “reverting” one and the right is an original stem from when I got the plant. (Also it’s gotcha-birthday tomorrow!! 🥳)
