My monsteras bottom leaves and stems had some causalities (mostly from my cats) and now I feel like the whole plant is struggling… before this she was putting out some new leaves but now she seems stagnant and just looks sad. Do I chop her and prop the cutting and just hope that what’s left of the stem will put out new growth???

Hey everyone!! My spider plant has been slowly dying for a few months and i have no idea why. I finally decided to de-pot her today to see what was going on, and this is what i saw. Can she be saved? I’m keeping her in water now to see if it’ll help. I’m in Montreal, and we’ve had strange weather this year. I keep her out of the sun, but it might have been a bit hot in my apartment, although my other plants are fine.

Thanks!!

I lucked out at getting a cutting of this beauty!!

I really really don’t want to mess this up. I’ve always had luck with water propagation but the owner of the mother plant suggested sphagnum moss. I haven’t rooted cuttings in that before so it makes me nervous.

It’s been drying out for around 16 hours and I haven’t done anything to it yet.

I think I want to seal the end in wax, and put the end in my fish tank to root but what would you do?

What’s the best path to success here?? Plz help, I’m a newb and this is my dream plant ❤️❤️

I’m probably way over thinking this, but, so is life. I live in the south where it’s hot and humid and normally very rainy during the spring. “April showers bring may flowers” but it’s rained only 3 times this month😭. I kept meaning to collect rainwater, but I don’t have a barrel. This morning it was raining and I grabbed 3 of the big clear totes and my big 5 gallon stock pot and put under the gutter to catch water. Now, storage. Do I boil it?!? I know, if you have a big drum type thing thing it just stays there. But I’m having to put it in whatever until I can get a drum. I would think putting it in gallon jugs it would get nasty and slimey before I could use it.

My boyfriend and I started the daunting process of repotting the houseplants this weekend. Definitely underestimated the work that goes into it, but also didn’t realize how many plant babies we would end up with. Begonias, pothos, philos, way too many already big monsteras. We’re up to 16 so far and no room on the sunroom, especially for the large babies. We’re only halfway done, I suspect we will have 30 new plants by the end of this. Any advice?

I got these rubber plants 4-5 years ago when they were small, and the nursery had all three in a single pot. I’ve kept them that way (beginner mistake) but I’ve noticed that 2 of them have started dropping leaves and seem less healthy. The soil was pretty compact so that might have been part of the problem.

Should I try to separate these into three pots? Or repot in one? I’m worried about damaging the roots because they’re pretty intertwined. Thoughts?

I have suspicion I have a small case of spider mites. I want to start doing preventatives but no one is listing the measurements for their concoctions lol- What are your guys’ pest preventative routines/mixtures. How often are you spraying with whatever you’re spraying with? I’d like to build a routine and would love to hear what y’all do!

Picture for attention

Hi!

I was gifted a cutting of a queen of the night cereus from a friend, it’s a prop from her great grandfathers plant, so it’s quite special to me! Now that it’s been propagating for enough time to establish roots, I’m seeking advice for what kind of pot and soil would be best. I’ve never had one of these before and want to make sure she thrives and has enough room to grow, so ANY cereus advice you have is so appreciated. Thanks!!

Don’t think it’s mould as I can blow/wipe it off easily, just wondering if it’s normal dust or something I should worry about. It’s on quite a few of the new leaves but not on the older leaves further down the stem.

Hi all,

Repotted my Aglaonema Osaka a few weeks ago, and noticed this little guy pop up a few days ago. I think it's a weed but would love confirmation before I pull it. Thanks in advance!

I just got this gorgeous, full prayer plant, but it looks like one of the vines is snapped and the lower portion looks dry … should I put it in water? Will it propagate?

I have a rubber tree, it’s a standard green patchy one (not a ruby). As it’s been getting warmer it’s produced a new baby leaf, first one this year…. And it’s pink. I love it but I’m curious why it’s done that? Could it be unhealthy? Or just random?

This might be a stupid Q but I’ve recently put a pink marble philodendron next to it, they’re in separate pots and don’t touch, but the new leaf is the same pink as the philodendron. Is it possible that the colouring has somehow spread?

I’ve bought these bags of predators to hang on my plants to prevent the few trips I found from spreading. Are these the trips or the predators?

The trips I normally only see when they’re black. The young beige ones I never saw before. Could these be the predators? They look a suspicious lot like trips, body shape etc.
