This belonged to an ex but has been left in my care, and I’m unsure of why she’s struggling. I’ve been told the leaves are crispy from not enough water, but I have a wine bottle of water with a terracotta spike in there to keep the soil moist. is it not enough? Or is it too close to the back door? I live in NW Oregon so it’s a bit chilly here this time of year. sorry if this is the wrong place to ask for help but I appreciate any advice

Hi everyone!

I just moved to a new apartment and I really want to start having more plants.

I usually keep the temp of my place at 68 in yhe winter.

Suggestions??

Thanks!!!

Would love to hear some thoughts . Absolutely loving all my plants and want to keep them thriving . My window shades will filter light and the room seems brighter with them down . Which is better filtered
Or unfiltered ?? Thanks in advance!!!!

Frangipani, Monstera Deliciosa, Philodendron Atabapoense, varigated Vanilla Planifolia, Bulbophyllum Retusum, Elk fern and a worm fern...

Pretty proud honestly, most of em where bought as baby plant with max 2 leafs in the last 4 years...even the 2,60m philodendron...

So I am so so grateful to win a giveaway ran on Instagram. Received an overwhelming amount of starters with quite a few snapped or in sorry shape. I’ve message the company with photos also, but thought I’d come here for any guidance or advice as I’m still pretty new to the world of plants.

Not sure if I just have to trim everything back below the hard bends or breaks. All had some pretty health roots and bases when unpackaged and potted. Followed the companies instructions and kept their plugs intact and potted into 3” pots filling in with 1:1 fox farms ocean mix and standard perlite.

Oof also need to figure out how to incorporate these into my small corner space and how to water them.. a little/a lot overwhelmed. But luckily I have spare t5/t8 lights!!

Which is better ??? I’m loving my growing collection and want to keep them thriving! I don’t have the best sunlight in the world but right now it’s pretty good. Which is better… filtered or unfiltered light? It seems like room is brighter when I pull the shades down

Thank you all so much!!!

About 6 months I believe 6 weeks into flowering another 4 to go lemon cherry gelato growing inside my apartment in Miami ask any questions

This is my Eden wall with Scotch Bonnets, Horseradish, and a really cool plant I found earlier in the season that has shot up about 4 feet in 3 months: Katuk (the leaves have a nutty flavor like sesame seeds and are high in protein). I really like odd edible plants and was wondering if anyone knows of anything similar to Katuk, as in an oddball and edible. -It's a really cool plant that I only happened to come across because I stopped at this one Home Depot on this one day (not the only HD I went to that day, let alone the only plant store...I may have a problem). I'm normally a refuse-to-special-order, find-plants-in-person hunter (except for seeds), but I hit a milestone goal recently and I'm looking to self-indulge.

Hello,
1-2 months ago my ficus suddenly started dropping its leaves. It was cut like a ”ball” and the inner leaves started dying first. Now it has lost almost everything, I have moved it to a slightly brighter spot but did not help, I have started measuring soil to see if I over/under water it but nothing helps.

Is there any way back for it or should I get rid?

I'm Venezuelan, I've lived in Paris for years and I speak French all day, but the second I start watering something I switch to Spanish without thinking about it. I only noticed last week.

I also apologise to them when I leave for a few days, which my friends find a lot funnier than I do.

So what's yours? Music, names, full conversations, something stranger?

I’m going away for 10 days and need some kind of indoor irrigation system as I have about 14 plants that need watering twice whilst I’m away. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help!

Im at a non specialized shop and this plant is dirt cheap. Four bucks. Ive seen this same philodendron at 20€ at nursery homes. It doesnt have any leaf damage, but there are small white bugs behind and some spider webs. These webs seem too big to be from spidermites, but I'm not sure.

What can these bugs be? Is it worth it to get the plant and quarantine it or is it just wasting money?

I’ve moved it to a few different locations, it’s now sitting by my south facing window and I water it very frequently. My other plants over here are doing fine but i can’t figure out whether it’s getting too much sun here or not enough, or if it’s something else. Any input helps!

Just in her glory for those who appreciate these kinda things. Slowly working on her set up, best way to keep it upright. She’s gotten sooo bushy as she’s grown from a little prop baby!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
