Okay so I my sister gave me this plant like a a couple months ago and I watered it maybe like 3 times in those months and now I actually wanna take care of it cuz it didn’t died 😭 so when/how do I go about repotting it? Does it need to be repotted? Idk if anyone could help that would be awesome
Need some care advice for this Haworthia! Was gifted to me, but I’m not sure if he’s healthy or not! He was originally just two big sprouts (?) but has since grown four more. Any advice would be very appreciated!
It’s time to repot my Christmas cactus. I read or heard somewhere (can’t for the life of me recall the source) that they may not do as well in “cactus blend” soils. So my question is, is this true? Should I repot with a cactus mix? Or would my aroid mix be better? ( 25% Orchid bark, 25% perlite, 20% coco coir, 10% charcoal, worm castings, &black gold)
Plants definitely teach a child responsibility 🪴 my baby girl’s best friend picked these out for her 😭 and she’s caring for them so well!
Lifesaver finally bloomed.. been slow this year
Happy Friday everyone. Can anyone tell me if I am supposed to trim back this long stem after the flower buds have fallen off? Or do I leave a long stem?
This poor thing. I went to put it into a new pot today and it completely detached from the roots. It’s been growing - I can see new green leaves. Help!!
My Kalanchoe has softening leaves all of a sudden. I’m following the water/fertilize schedule thru the app. Help!!
repot gang 🥰 i've been dying to put something in that black and white glass one i found at a thrift store! i think he's perfect for it
My string of hearts is flowering and I’m trying to manually pollinate it. Any advice? The flowers are tubular with an enlarged base and petals that sort of block off the entrance so I tried to pollinate them by just removing the Corolla of two flowers and putting what I assume is the pollen sacs from one of them on to (what I assume is) the stigma of the other. I’ve found some pretty vaguely labeled images of the flowers’ structures and I have some meager biology/botany background that I’m relying on. The natural pollination of string of hearts is extremely interesting so I recommend looking it up to anyone interested; the only issue is that it’s virtually impossible to replicate it accurately at home, especially with the resources available to me.
Need some help with this little succulent. These are my first succulents and they were really overwatered for the first two weeks and this guy lost a decent number of lower leaves. I’m really happy to see the new growth but just surprised that it’s so high up the flower stalk. Has anyone ever seen this before? Should I remove the stalk completely to encourage lower growth or see how it plays out?
Switched windows and he’s thriving! I didn’t even notice until I did a progress update. He doesn’t look like Shrek anymore! (My poor dead plant in the first pic 😥)
First time a succulent has bloomed under my watch 🥰
It’s my first try at propagation, fingers crossed! I hope most of them will like the south facing window
Obsessed with this thing. It tripled in size in the 8ish months I’ve had it. Last week it started pumping out these side growths and can’t wait to see how silly it can look (species was honestly a guess)
Does anyone know what this could be? The shiny black spot. It’s hard and the little guy is doing just fine. Is this some sort of sap from an injury perhaps? Maybe I just don’t remember anything happening to it in the shuffle of settling him.
Hey planta friends! I’ve been taking care of this aloe plant for my best friend for a few weeks now, first 3 pics are from today, the last pic is the day I got it. I’m not super familiar with aloe at ALL. But there’s 3 new leaves, and it’s now standing up almost completely on its own, so I know it’s improving. Any further suggestions to bring this baby back to life? 🥹
Does anyone know what this guy is?
My Mordor, who was the first cactus in my collection to bloom (May 2022) - and what a bloom. She is currently clumping like crazy, and the flowers didn’t happen this year due to everything going on in my personal life since May ha. “Mordor” because there used to be what looks like a miniature gate. “Mordor” also because the pain from these spines makes you want to throw yourself into a volcano. She needs a bigger pot.
My frizzle sizzle has been flowering. I thought they flowered in the winter normally. I think I might chop them since it’s causing my spirals to die off. What do you guys do with yours?
