Can anyone tell me how to get my Kalanchoe to flower? She’s growing lots but all of the cute little pink flowers she had when I first got her have been gone for a while. I’ve had her in bright light, low light, frequent watering, very little watering, and she’s been fine through it all but I cannot get those flowers to return. Any tips?

Can anyone explain how to properly propagate a succulent? I wanna take some cuttings of my little pinwheel because I’m worried i might not have treated its issue fast enough, but I don’t know how I’d go about making sure it has roots and stuff

Hi! Help Please! I am struggling with this aloe in my office. We were doing well as I was watering once every 2-3 weeks and then recently I think I may have over watered and it's gone downhill from there. It is also to my understanding that this could be from sun stress? I just rewatered for the first time in about 2 weeks. Any advice would be kindly appreciated. Thank you!

What is this I first saw a spout in my elephant ear then as I was looking more saw a few in one of my Monstera’s, banana trees, and green princess. They are not all right next too each other but most all of them have recently been repotted with a homemade chunky mix soil using horticulture charcoal & pumice, orchid bark, worm castings, and some miracle grow. Should I be concerned?

Recommendations for indoor plants to thrive in low light

Hi guys, I’m going to repot him later because I’ve only had him for about a month and recently noticed his roots- anyways can anyone help me figure out why there’s like spots on the leaves and then the one looks kind of yellow which it did look very overwatered a couple weeks ago so I trimmed the soggy yellow leaves off. I also don’t really know where to put him because I think the outside in full sun is too much. I have grow lights inside and I also have a window upstairs in my spare bedroom that would probably be good. Can any of you just give me any tips on getting him back healthy?? Thank you!!

Woke up to my plant completely being on the side. Is this what it’s supposed to do? I’m keeping it supported.

Hey yall, I’m having trouble with an aphid and ant infestation on my jalapeƱos. I’ve tried coffee grounds for the ants, safe insect repellents, I’ve been removing the leaves with the eggs, spraying everything off the stem, and even scraping them off my plant. Idk what to do anymore. Please please please help.

I’m relatively new to taking serious care of plants and am looking for advice on which sort of plants to bottom water, mist, and/or traditional water. I bottom water all my succulents, but not sure what to do for some of my others so for right now just following Planta advice. Any tips/guidelines/websites you’d recommend would be highly appreciated! (Included are photos of a few of my newer plants)

Hi all, im looking for advise on how to get my jasmin plant to bloom. Would anyone have any tips? It was rescue, which I had to do some major pruning. Its grown a ton over the last couple months since getting it but no flowers. It didn't come with support but im considering a repot and will add support then.

Any one fans of the White Knight Philodendrons? They are $19 at Walmart in Plano, Texas!! This is a GREAT price and they had so many! (6 inch pots) (***toxic to pets).

Help!! I think I may have overwatered 2 of my plants, how can I fix this?? I don’t wanna give my girls root rot 😭. It’s my String Of Bananas and Sedum (Sunsparkler DazzleBerry). They both have drainage holes and I have used a chopstick to poke some holes in the soil.
