After painters left and all kinds of de-construction went on for past 2 weeks or so, I finally got ALL 3 of my plants settled into appropriate containers and soil/s. The pics are in chronological order. My room has very little humidity, (live in the NE in Philadelphia) so have to work on that for the lemon lime maranta (in middle in 3rd pic) But they all seem to be thriving! I have limited space in which I can use for my plants, as there are cats in the house. I plan on purchasing a plant rack soon.

Seems like a ZZ plant but why is it so bright? I’m worried it can’t photosynthesise because there’s like no green on the leaves

PLEASE HELP!!!!😫 I was told this plant was a little temperamental but its only been day 2! I dunno what is going on. I just bottom watered it (as recommended by the plant store) and I'm waiting to see if it will perk up tomorrow.

What can I do to fix it? Does anyone have an idea of what went wrong here? I planned to repot it as soon as I got some free time. Should I hold off on that? Does it need a bigger pot? Please help!!!

I have moved many of my smaller houseplants indoors to a grow cabinet, but the larger ones will have to stay outside. (My houseplants have always been on my porch because cats). I know they sell pot insulators, but I'd like to make my own. I'm in Southern California zone 9b/10, so there won't be many freezes if any, but I want to start protecting my plants as best I can. Thank you for any ideas and suggestions!

I bought her 2 days ago. I never had own an air plant before. I should have bought a smaller one to begin with. I saw people suggesting to submerge this plant in water and let it soak up for 30 minutes . Others have said to soak it only 10 minutes. Afterwards, let it upside down to prevent crown rot in a well ventilated area for a few hours. However, I’ve also came across people saying to not submerge the plant and just mist it.

I also have no idea when to water her. I’ve read somewhere that if the leaves curl, it means they are thirsty. But it seems like this type of airplantal already has natural curls. So how can I tell 😭.

Also, I believe she was JUST watered when I first got her (2 days ago). She had water in her leaves, so I left her drying upside down when we were back at home for the entire day.

At night time, I just put her next to my humidifier and then put her back on the shelf in front of the window

Posting for someone. I'm 90% sure this isn't mosaic, but I can't identify which alocasia this is. I'm pretty sure its amazonica family, green petiole, no specking like tigrinia/zebrina. I'm thinking possible nutrient deficiency, but I've never seen it so sever if that's what it is. Leaf new, but hardening off.

My Sansevieria. I love it for its compactness. ❤ It grows one new rosette per year.

Such a pretty plants but GOD does it reek!!! Every time I walk by, I look around to see where the cat pooped. Nope, just this horrible smelling plant. Again.

My friend sent me pics of her plant; I feel like it’s some sort of philo? Can she propagate in water the same way you would a pothos? I’m confused bc of how clustered the nodes are.

I’ve been using a neem based spray in an attempt to control thrips and mealybugs on my balcony plants (I really don’t want to poison pollinators) and I’m gonna be honest: all it seems to do is make my plants visibly sad. Has it actually worked for anyone?

Hello everyone, I recently rescued this plant and I know it has been in this state for about two years already in a low light room just barely surviving. What can I do to this Alba ito make it thrive? I really don’t want this plant to die it means a lot to me. I am willing to get it anything

She’s taking over the apartment and I don’t think her vines are very pretty LOL. I love her but her vines look a little… stringy.

If she were yours, what would you do to give her more space? A hanging planter? Top of a bookshelf? Should I use a trellis to give the illusion that she is bushier? Idk if that would work with her vines. I would love to see inspo photos of how you’ve used your plants like her for decor!

The last pic is when I first got her just because I find it amusing.

I have this large basil plant that I have been growing outside all summer, I was wondering if I could repot it and bring it inside?

As you can see, it has thick wood bases, but it is still flowering and producing basil. Does anyone has any experience with this? any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I added a new addition to my collection that I have been wanting for awhile; A Turtle Back Plant (Labisia).

The growing medium it came in was strictly jist peat. When I buyba plant that is growing in that, I immediately repot as I feel the peat stays too soggy too long.

After reading up on the plant more, I decided to repot it into the moss on top of leca setup which I have jad amazing success with on other plants.

I just wanted to reach out to see who has one and if anyone has any tips or tricks to keep this amazing plant thriving

I just noticed these white spikey balls in the soil of my Swedish Ivy. Is this mold or some sort of fungi? Anyone know of or seen this before?

Bought some terracotta pots on Amazon and came home from work today and it was covered in mold.

I was giving everyone in my collection a once-over this evening and found this on my peperomia maculosa vanilla. Anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on here? It doesn't look like the typical reproductive presentation that I've seen in past peperomias and I'm not able to find it when I look up typical propagation techniques.

It's in a mixture of orchid bark, perlite, potting soil and sphag moss, in a SW-facing window. I've had it for about a year and it's been doing well throughout the summer and now hitting a bit of a plateau. Any advice is appreciated!!

...Well. So far, anyway.

I own over a hundred alocasias. Up until now I've always cut off their inflorescences, but this time I decided to attempt a reciprocal cross of simpo albo and dragon scale aurea just for funsies.

To pollinate, you must expose the female chamber in order to be able to reach the pistils. A small window was cut into each spathe within 24 hours of it opening, as the female phase of flowering is incredibly short. I had stored pollen from my Simpo Albo previously and used this on the inflorescences on the Dragon Scale. Within a week, the results are clear to see. The pistils are browning and shrinking and the berries are rapidly plumping up.

Next, an inflo on my Simpo Albo opened just in time to overlap with the male pollen phase of the Dragon Scale's. I collected fresh pollen from it and fertilized the Simpo Albo as well, which also appears to be successful.

I now have three infructesences on my two plants - two on my Dragon Scale Aurea and one on my Simpo Albo.

It'll be several months before the berries are ripe and the seeds are ready to sow. There's a high chance that one or all of the infructesences will be aborted by the mother plant. And even if they do make it to ripening, there's a chance that they may not be viable seeds.

...But it'll be great fun to see how it goes, chance of failure notwithstanding!

My plant has been dropping leaves consistently and is starting to get bare. I water it 2-3 times a week and have tried moving it around the house. I really don't have a good, sunny spot to put it. What can I do? Do I need to cut it down?

I picked this up for cheap on FB but don’t know much about caring for it. A few questions for now:

It tipped over and lost a bunch of soil so needs repotting. Should I go larger, if so how big?

Do I do anything with the “air roots” coming off the stem or just leave them?

It has one large leaf with damage and a small one with a big brown spot. Should I remove those, or leave them?

Tia!

Help with the house debate. My roommate says her snake plant fell over a year ago and she salvaged a couple leaves that grew into this. Google search says this is a Clivia. What do you think?

Not sure why it’s losing spines. Is it sick?

This pothos has been in this pot and in this location for a long time and I’ve only recently started to have a bunch of yellow leaves.

Consensus online seems to be overwatering, however I only water when the leaves start to visibly droop and the soil is completely dry. Maybe every ~3 weeks. Been doing that for years and I do the same with my other golden pothos with no yellow leaves at all.

I was finally able to find a smaller hanging pot. The old one was 12 inches and this is about 8
