How long a day should plants be under a grow light? I have plants that aren’t getting enough direct sunlight so I got a grow light, but I’m not sure how long they need grow light for.

I got this golden mosaic plant from heinens back in April/may and it’s been a downhill battle I have no idea what’s wrong with my plant and any advice to help save my plant would be really appreciated

Today I learned Lily’s has “ Lime sensitivity”. However, I continued to water my baby with tap water thinking the issue was the rain…😒🥴 (I had it backwards). Moving forward I will boil my water, purchase steal water or allow the good old rain to shower her 🙌 #lesson_learned

How resilient are jade plants? I’ve neglected mine for too long and all the leaves have gone thin lol I’ve drowned it now but will the leaves plump back up??

I just went to water my string of hearts this morning and found a white mold growing on the outside bottom of the aged Terra-cotta pot (with drainage)😭 can anyone explain why this might be happening? For background, I am waiting until the soil dries up and water the plant in my kitchen sink with the water running through the bottom. It’s in a very bright, well ventilated spot in my living room with west and north facing windows all along the walls. When I potted the plant, I mixed all-purpose organic potting mix with this Sol Soils succulent mix. EDIT: I also put one plant food capsule in the soil about two weeks ago

Can anyone suggest what may be going on with my Peace Lily? She’s fertilized and watered on schedule.

Is this sunburn on my ZZ? A few of the stems have these blotches. She’s been doing amazing, no pests, (ignore the dust guess she’s due for a cleaning) tho last time I watered her I found some worms which the internet and some planta searching said was good news (bottom watered her)

Is there anyone that can tell me what I’m doing wrong 😭 I purchased this rhipsalis succulent about 10 days ago, repotted it into this cute little pot, watered it, and haven’t touched it since (I’m trying really hard not to overwater my plants). The right side of this plant is completely falling apart... I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Thank you in advance for any and all help!!! The left photo - today, right side falling apart The right photo - the day I got it (10 days ago)

Hi planty friends! I’m wondering if anyone has any tips on how to avoid overwatering/getting root rot on high water demand plants. (ie basil, petunias, turtle vine, chives, tomatoes, etc etc) Planta is recommending that I water some of these plants everyday and despite them being in a full sun/SW window and with chunky soil that has orchid bark and perlite mixed in, I’m finding I’m skipping watering them out of fear of getting root rot. I measure with my moisture metre and usually these plants are solidly in the moist range from about 1/4 of the way down to the bottom of the pot. How do y’all water these kinds of plants?

So my echeveria has a couple of shriveled leaves on the bottom, but I read this might be a normal re absorption of the leaves. Other than a couple of new shriveled leaves on the bottom the rest of the plant looks healthy. I also just learned how to water and care for them correctly and have been keeping it pretty dry and watered it well a few days ago. So is my plant ok?
Help please
Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my aluminum plant ??
Jonie
I need some help with this one please. Her name is Hope, as in I hope I can keep this plant alive! 😁 she’s a little unruly and kinda sprawls herself all over the place. TBH gives me a little anxiety having her untamed. Any ideas of how to get her to sit like a lady? I tried helping her out but it’s not really working. I need a better plan. Thanks all!

I have a wondering dude here. I noticed a few of the leaves have brown marks and cuts on the leaves! I don’t know why. I had it in a terracotta pot but today transferred it to a ceramic one in hopes it might just be not holding enough water. If anyone has tips plz help. ☺️✨

Hey does anyone know how to make your plants strong? All of my plants are in the basement (in a windowsill) and they tend to wilt. They never get strong stems and they die sometimes. Thanks!

I’ve heard that sprinkling cinnamon on your plants soil can help deter fungus gnats. is this true? and if it is, how effective is it?
