I need some advice please. There are gnats in my succulent plants. I finally bought some yellow strips and that seems to be helping catch them but they keep showing up. I am letting my plants dry out to try to kill any eggs that might be in the soil. Going on 3wks now. I also added some cinnamon on the top of the soil. I have not noticed them in other plants, mainly the succulents. They seem to have moved from my bathroom to my kitchen succulent plant now. Any other advice on how I can rid my home of gnats?

Took absolutely too long to move these guys out of the greenhouse. Should've done it a month ago.

I’m thankful there are strangers out there who will let me bother them with my prides and problems. Here are some of my prides. Problems to follow soon enough.

Did my camera get it right!? Any care tips? Already have a few Jade plants, of another variety, that are all doing well.

So…any Sand Rose parents out there!? I’m curious about mine growing some green above the pink!? Normal? Sickness? What’s going on…!?

Granite has basically absorbed his outer leaves! Green parts still look and feel happy tho…nothin new inside yet. Is this the right time to water the lil guy? He was recently repotted from his nursery pot into some pretty dry soil.

My Christmas cactus is quite a few years old- maybe </= 8yrs or so. It's been in different areas inside, but was repotted several months ago to a bit larger pot (Sadly, I had never repotted it in the yrs i had it - then I found Planta!) and nice new cactus/ succulent soil. It has a new home on the patio table & seems to love the spot. My question concerning with one really large branch - leaning over on top of others. Do I somehow try to shore it up? Also, I recently, discovered your group & am thrilled to expand my knowledge and fun!

Little treat for the Harry Potter fans! The propagated snake plants have finally been named! We have: Narcissa, Lucius, Draco, Bellatrix, Regulus, Snape, Dolohov, Rookwood, Barty Crouch Jr., and Fenrir! If you look very closely, you MIGHT be able to figure out a theme

Hey Y’all! I need all the tips and tricks to help grow my echeverias!! “The frosty queen and princess” They have been inside, with little sunlight. I have no bright windows in my house. They were watered today and now I have put them outside, under the roof so maybe they won’t get beat by the sun, it’s about 95° right now in Louisiana.

First action I’ve seen from Granite since I got the lil guy! He started with fully closed inner leaves and firm green outer leaves. Now his inner leaves have opened a bit and those outers are giving up…pretty sure everything is just natural life cycle stuff.
