Iâm trying to figure out the best set up for 3 of my plants. My lucky bamboo, my marble queen pothos, and my narrow leaf chalkstick. They are all near an east facing window, so they donât get too much sun but they also arenât in the shade. I bought a grow light for direct sun for my chalkstick. My question is where should I place my other two? I know they both like indirect light. Here are two pictures of different locations I can put the pothos and the lucky bamboo so you can see where the window and grow light are. Any advice would be appreciated!!
Would one like the grow light more than the window? Would they both like it? Kinda just trying to create the best set up for them to survive!

Should probably put a warning label on my pictures. I share an office with 2 other people. One knows nothing about plants. I have a few I can manage to keep alive. Then my other officemate loves succulents. So, I can in today to this horror. It has been thoroughly overrated, because the one was watering it and didn't know any better. My question is can parts be saved and propagated? How can I tell which one(s) will have the best chance to survive?

When I first got my sedum there was a spot or two on the leaves but now I see that theyâre more than I thought. Is my plant sick? In this picture itâs on the smaller one on the right. But there is a spot on one of the bigger ones too.

Can someone give me some pointers to protect & grow this (what I think) is a variegated Jade. đ±đ„č just received today.

Hi so I think the soil in one of my plants is too compacted. I tried doing the finger test to see how wet/dry the soil was and it was difficult to make a hole in the soil. But my plant seems to be doing good, itâs even growing new leaves! Should I try to take out some of the soil to loosen it up or leave it be since itâs growing?
I attached a photo of the growthâșïž

Okay,so my ghost plant has been looking down,itâs lost a lot of its leaves (including the big limp one in the older photo)and doesnât look like itâs growing any back, I got to know, should I let it die now or should I do my original plan(repot,grow light,water,fertilize,wait)
Extra info: it gets about part sun and shares a home in a terrarium with the jade pant,and mother of thousands,which are all in a a terrarium. Iâve given all three plants more water yesterday but no fertilizer. This plant has been in its glass terrarium for almost a year. I donât know if the slits in the steam are new leaf openings or not.

3rd year plant parent! My string of bananas is one of my favorites. Sheâs giving Cher vibes. Any recommendations on what I should put in my hanging disco ball planter? Thinking a spider monkey plant but it may not like the south facing window like my succulents do.

Help! I just repotted this flaming katy Iâve had for years- how do I get her to grow bushier? đ
I had to stake her because she keeps climbing (sheâs developing aerial roots now too??)
Would appreciate any help!

What am I doing wrong!! I bought this succulent at the store a few weeks ago and when I did it was red/pink. I brought it inside due to bad weather and ever since itâs turning green. I had it outside in the sun all day today and yesterday. The dirt isnât wet and I donât think it needs to be watered for a few more days. What should I do to turn it back red?

any idea what kind of cactus this is? my best guess is a pine cone cactus. this is a pup from a cactus that is native to arizona

Omgggg.... This anacampseros baby is the most dramatic little succulent I have! (I don't have many đ) The leaves went mushy on me and I lost a lot of it. I figured I over watered it and let him dry out completely and it seemed fine! From top to bottom this thing was dry! So I barely wet the top of the soil thinking I was doing some good... Nope! Mushy leaves at the bottom and they're falling off again... đ I'm just going to NOT water him again until he's starting to look wilted. lol He's currently under a grow light. If he doesn't make it, I know I tried! I've never been good with succulents though. My Kalanchoe plants are thriving though and getting so big! Also have some mystery succulent sprouts taking off and doing well. It's just this anacampseros plant. đ It has new growth at the top, I guess I just need to leave it alone! lol

Hey guys, I need some help, my plants are mostly fine but the light in my area has been patchy, I was thinking about getting a grow light for my indoor plants but donât know which one is good for succulents (if there even is a grow light better for succulents) I also am looking for some affordable 4-5inch terracotta pots with good drainage and a tray. Do yâall know any good sites or companies I could get these from?
