My string of hearts is flowering and Iâm 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. Iâve found some pretty vaguely labeled images of the flowersâ structures and I have some meager biology/botany background that Iâm 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 itâs 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. Iâm really happy to see the new growth but just surprised that itâs 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 heâs thriving! I didnât even notice until I did a progress update. He doesnât look like Shrek anymore! (My poor dead plant in the first pic đ„)

First time a succulent has bloomed under my watch đ„°

Itâs 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 Iâve had it. Last week it started pumping out these side growths and canât wait to see how silly it can look (species was honestly a guess)

Does anyone know what this could be? The shiny black spot. Itâs hard and the little guy is doing just fine. Is this some sort of sap from an injury perhaps? Maybe I just donât remember anything happening to it in the shuffle of settling him.

Hey planta friends! Iâve 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. Iâm not super familiar with aloe at ALL. But thereâs 3 new leaves, and itâs now standing up almost completely on its own, so I know itâs improving. Any further suggestions to bring this baby back to life? đ„č

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 didnât happen this year due to everything going on in my personal life since May ha. âMordorâ because there used to be what looks like a miniature gate. âMordorâ 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 itâs causing my spirals to die off. What do you guys do with yours?

Monkey Tail is growing thin? Growing arms? But itâs in a warm south-facing sun room. Should I rotate it more? Should I cut off the thin parts?

Just bought this moon cactus today, named her Luna! Super pretty but Planta says itâs a harder plant to care for. Never owned one before, any tips?

Hi, does anybody know how to get ride of mealy bugs? my mom has a jade that I am taking care of, but I recently noticed some tiny white bugs on it, and gooey white stuff appeared the day after. So Iâd appreciate it if I could have some advice to treat the plant. Thank you! đ

I guess these snake plants really DO like sun! Heâs leaning towards the south west window - in a matter of a day. :) guess Iâll be rotating him.

Hi everyone! I have these succulent pots I got off Amazon and either with care or the shallow pot, many of my succulents have out grown it. As u can see the one with a long stalk is growing babies from its stem- should I relocate them to a different pot? I have not that much experience with succulents- often overwatering so Iâm so surprised and happy about the ones I have. In the second photo u can see they are just starting to grow on top of each other. What would be the best type of pot if moved? Due to limited space I combined them so Iâm rly against splitting them into, as u can see up to 6 to 10 diff small pots. Or should I leave them be? Mostly itâs appearances and worry about them breaking off since are few are trailing off and may start to tip over if not supported.

Right now I have two plants and a plant light in my fireplace, but I want to change it to a home for my ever increasing succulent collection. Not sure of the best way to do that because I know succulents are going to need more light. Any suggestions on the best way to go?
