I’ve recently bought a bunch of new alocasias and monsteras. I’m new to being a plant mom; any tips? Would a pebble tray be good?

I got this plant from target about 2 weeks ago. But the white leaves are getting brown and I haven’t seen any growth yet. How can I fix it? It is under a grow light. I water about every 7 days and it’s planted in moss. (Also very sad day since the 100% white leaf did not grow bigger for a picture 🥲) but how do I help it grow better? Also all of the bigger stem was cut when I bought it so idk if that’s what’s stunting the growth?

Does any one here use these on their indoor plants? Does it help or make a difference at all?

Hi! I have most of my plants in my bedroom, which is on a second floor, so I’m quite worried about any water falling onto my floor. Because of that, most of my plants don’t have drainage. Planta has been yelling about it at me. Does anyone know anything I can do to give them drainage without risking my floor.

Anyone have tips for what to do when you’re gone on vacation? In the past I’ve had roommates or someone stop by, but I’m in a new city and don’t know anyone well enough to trust them in my place. I have about 24 plants of various types and sizes. I do have some of those bulbs that you stick in the soil, but I’m not a huge fan. I’ve also considered just drenching them the morning I leave and hope for the best. Help! *photo for attention

Hey everyone, so i recently got a snake plant that was severely overwatered. I repotted it w chunky soil and i’ve been letting it dry out the past week, BUT today I pulled out three leaves with ease and I don’t know if it’s because the plant was always going to let those leaves go or if it’s something I did/didn’t do. I wanna save her so any help would be appreciated!!!

What fertilizer does anyone recommend? Or does not recommend? I’m stumped on what I should purchase since there’s so many on the market. I don’t want to break the bank but also I want to make my plants healthy and strong!

i have seen two ways to grow avocado on youtube. should i take the avocado ball and put toothpicks in it over a cup of water or should i peel the skin off and put it in the paper towel in the fridge?

⁉️IMPORTANT QUESTION⁉️ I have two adult cats, they never pay attention to any of my plants. I am getting a kitten soon and I’m not sure what to do about her not getting in to my plants. I don’t have any other space to put them. I live in a camper. I don’t have any kind of lily (never would) but I know some of these are toxic. What should I do? I don’t want to get rid of my plants but don’t want my kitten to get sick. Any thoughts or ideas?? Thanks
