I’m having trouble propagating my spider plant babies. Every time I move them to water, it will begin to grow roots and get bigger, but then the leaves will turn brown until it just dies. Do spider plants not do well in water?? What should I do?
Winter Plant Care Reminder ❄️🌿 As the days get colder and darker, your plants slow down. Here are a few easy things to remember: • Water less often – let the soil dry out more between watering. Most plants drink less in winter. • Skip the fertilizer – your plants are resting right now. Feeding can wait until spring. • Give them light – move them closer to windows or clean dusty leaves to help them soak up sun. • Watch for cold drafts – keep plants away from doors, leaky windows, and heating vents. • Don’t repot yet – save the big changes for spring when they start growing again. Gentle care. Slow growth. Cozy plants. 💚✨
When you have to bring your 11 foot giant in this year and have to propagate it where should I start?!! 🤔
She’s doing very well, and growing beautifully, but does anyone know what this is? Is this a flower?
anyone know why my pilea leaves are mushrooming like this instead of flat? She grows a lot but all the leaves look like this? she gets watered according to the plants app & gets southwest window sun. the window has a meshing over it so it’s bright indirect light
👋 Plant Newbie here! A tip I would like to share is for your water drip tray - if you ever (like me) accidentally overwater, then you can do this simple trick! Use a paper towel rolled up, stick one end in the water and the other draped over a collection device. If it reaches your paper towel, simply empty the cup and continue on until your water is at the desired amount! Hope this helps, it certainly helps me to not have to lift a heavy pot and risk dripping everywhere! 😁
I’ve got this syngonium Wendi-something and I’m not sure if I’m caring for it right! It has some new leaves which I always assume means good things and then also some Yellow leaves that are obviously turning to brown crunchy leaves. It wasn’t in a pot with drainage so I changed that. I’m going to start using distilled water. It is near a humidifier that’s averaging about 45% humidity. Will these new steps help? Is there something else I could do?? It’s in an east facing room and is across from the window so probably 10’ from the window.
Before and after
Turtle vines go in sunshine jail for the winter
Will this grow roots if I leave it in water? It fell off while I was working on a bigger section.
Not sure what to do with these guys! I’m sure I need to bring them in as temps in Iowa are getting in the 40s at night. I assume they want sun? The long straggly thing, I’m not sure it’s doing well. Any advice??
I live in Wisconsin and been wanting to order a pink variant zz plant from Etsy. But the store is overseas. Super nervous that it wouldn't survive the travel to me. Any thoughts or feelings on pulling the trigger?
Does anyone know what is in the soil of my pothos?!? Is it mold or eggs?
"What is the white substance on top of the soil in my snake plant? I noticed it when the plant was in a smaller pot, and now that I’ve repotted it into a larger one, it’s appearing again. Any idea what it might be and how to deal with it?"
I planted some kiwi and orange seeds and have no clue what I’m doing any tips? Tia

so this is very much in advance but i recently became a plant owner for the very first time and im at university right now. I’ve got an ivy, a small cactus and a small jade/money plant. I can’t bring them back home with me during the christmas break, so i was wondering how to make sure they don’t die over that period 😓 if anyone has any advice at all, please lmk!! i’ve attached pictures of my new plants here :)
I bought these grow lights a few weeks ago and I absolutely love them. They are so nice. It does red white and blue light and comes with instructions of what each light does and how to use really simple use high-quality led lights cheap on Amazon and my plants love them!
I just noticed my ZZ has some ridges or small cuts on the stem - has anyone experienced this or know what’s happening? I did recently add a support to this because it is getting big. Otherwise it’s a standard ZZ that just does its thing!
