What’s going on with my fishbone cactus?? It’s been like this for about 5 months now just growing the long sticks and some of the small ones in the photos. I can tell it’s fine cause it’s still growing but not the waves just long and straight
If ur variegated plants keep pushing out white leaves, cut it back to the last node to reset the plant! These white leaves are parasitic and do nothing for the plant but steal energy coming from the green leaves. Due to the lack of chlorophyll, the plant cannot photosynthesize thus leading to decline!
Hello! Just curious if anyone would like to share their favorite indoor potting soil mixes? I mix my own depending on the type of plant (aroid, succulent, etc) but if you have a brand that you use or soil amendments that you swear by, please drop the recommendations as I am building out a store room that I’ll be sharing with a few people. Thanks!
Never had an air plant before. How do I water something that isn’t in a pot? Feels like a silly question but I don’t think I’m supposed to pull it off the stand!
I’m a neophyte horticulturalist 🌱 and just getting started on my plant journey. I’ve recently become interested in large prayer plants—especially Calathea Majestica (“White Star”)—and I’d love to learn how to grow them successfully. 👉 If you have one (or any prayer plant), could you please: * 📸 Share a picture of your plant * 🌿 Describe your care routine * 💧 Watering schedule, light conditions, humidity setup * 🪴 Any tips or lessons learned I’m especially interested in indoor setups and what’s working for you. Looking forward to learning from this community—thank you in advance! 🌿
Meet Ella, my dwarf umbrella tree! Received her as a cutting in October and have had her in water with rooting drops. And WOW. They delivered. She seems ready for soil but I’ve taken out SEVERAL (Pothos) cuttings 🫣transplanting from water to soil so… I need your help. What can I do to improve her chances of success? Thoughts on soil/substrate? Process? Really want her to thrive 🌱 any pro tips appreciated!! TIA
hey, so i’m trying to be a better plant mom and i have this peace lily (irene) that’s not doing the best. i don’t know much about taking care of any plant, so if anyone has advice for me i will very much appreciate it. i know i’m probably doing everything wrong so pls go easy on me lol 🫠
Why she doing that?
I just got this and it did not show up to good so got any tips?
Hi, new to Planta. My bedroom plants face a balcony door that stays open (with a flyscreen door). The door faces North so doesn’t get any direct sun in Sydney but gets plenty of indirect sun. Which planta light option should I pick Shade or Part sun? I am confused because part sun says ”direct sun” and there is no in between option?
So, I heard that if you dip the cut end in some honey it helps along root chances!? Anyone heard of this???
So not sure the best place to put this but here goes…dwarf fiddle leaf fig; drama. Never repotted, leggy. Should I chop & prop? Or try to repot & see what happens? Either way, curious about tips & hacks. Thanks! 🤞
My plant has browning ends but she’s growing new leafs! What’s wrong?
This plant was too close to the grow light +/- overwatered. I have moved it away from the light and holding off on watering. Should I snip off the yellow leaves? Or could they come back?
I just got a plumeria cutting and I want to make sure I set it up for success . It’s still too cold here in the Midwest to bring it outside I think? What is the best thing to do for a cutting so it starts getting roots ? I’ll take any advice on care, soil and any other tips !
SOS! I honestly have no clue what to do with this plant, it’s been like this since I got it.. new leaf means one drops and now it’s grown these spikes?! She’s in a very bright south facing window, any help if appreciated.
Are the new leaves supposed to look like that? (Hoya memoria)
Also, should I put fertilizer in the water when I’m watering my plants EVERY TIME?
I am new to planting. I just bought a naked root pot and I was wondering how long do I keep my plant in the water before I pour it out? Also why is all of my plants soil molding on top? I put them in the pots twoish weeks ago.
Looking for some feeding advice for my Ginseng Ficus! Gifted in January, repotted in all-purpose soil, and pruned last week. I have 10-15-10 food but want to make sure I dilute it correctly. I’ve posted a "before and after" from Jan until now. Thanks in advance for the help!
