What is a bit of advice that you can give that is almost always the reason a plant doesn't look good on here?

My big 3 are:

People who ALWAYS water on a schedule even if the plant isn't even dry yet

That plant tucked away in a dark corner "why is it looking sad"

The yellow limp cactus that clearly was never repotted from the store

Also for anyone not in the know, the picture is the phrase "beating a dead horse" which means to continue talking on a topic that has been well spent. (That people still somehow don't understand)

These damn fungus gnats😔

I’ve had this plant for 2 months now and this thread has introduced me to many things like quarantining and many ways to try and get rid of these gnats. Unfortunately I found those tips quite recently and I think the only thing I can do now is change the soil. This is the 2nd Zevo Ive put in, the 1st one had just as many. Has anyone ever had this many gants for just one plant? I’m taking very desperate measure rn😂

Golden hour hits different when you live in a mini jungle 🌿☀️

Caught my plants soaking up some afternoon rays and had to take a pic. This may be one of my favorite views of the loft even though I’m clearly running out of space for plants! Now it’s time to buy furniture and shelving for my friends.

What’s some of your favorite shelving/stands/styling?

Im crying right now

I ordered from a plant boutique (im not going to name them because its still being sorted).
However their plants are “lush hand picked” for orders, and I paid 50$, had a horrible shipping process (it went untracked for a week - not their fault, the carriers fault, however their customer service really dgaf to respond to the question, basically told me “thats the tracking number”.
Anyways, I filmed an unboxing today as I was unsure about what would arrive and i am more than heart broken.. I spent 49.99 before taxes on a Philodendron White Wizard (M) and the size is write I suppose..
The leaves (the few that are on here) all have big tears, and The plant is unable to support itself..
i couldnt find this plant locally to where I am in Ontario, and I took a big chance on ordering online from BC, and im utterly sad. Like my first order and I dont know what to make of this??

Anybody know what this plant might be?

The leaves are almost a bit triangular.

I did it. I finally threw out my Thai con.

I got it as a cutting via Facebook marketplace and picked it up in a parking lot for very cheap right before the prices for these dropped, so I've been very precious about it. It never looked especially healthy; I'm pretty sure it has been the source of my thrips for a couple years. I tried everything, but they always came back, and they were always the worst on the Thai con. I have now thrown out all of my houseplants except for a single tiny succulent (sentimental).

It was hard, but it was not fun any more, and now I am starting fresh.

Thanks, that's all

How is this plant thriving?

I put a cutting in some water, topped it up a few times, and totally forgot about her. About 6 months ago I remembered it's existence, saw the roots took over the bulb, and so I kept topping it. I still forget about it, but it's created its own ecosystem, or terrarium, or something. There are rotting leaves that somehow sprouted from the bottom of the cutting, under water. I have no idea what that cauliflower looking glob is. But she's been flowering all year, and now has 2 blooms. It even goes months without being topped with water. Can anyone tell me why the worst tap water in the world is literally bringing this thing to life?

Edit** it doesn't smell like rot at all. No smell whatsoever!

My Satin Pothos is officially taking over.

What should I do? Chop and propagate or let it take over my ceiling?

The yellow leaf never lies

My very happy maranta put out a single yellow leaf and I figured it was time to check down under.. she was repotted immediately after this!

Fiddle leaf fig trees

This is a great example of how you can correctly use plants to scale. It softens the tall ceilings of this hallway.

I love this pothos so much

Sorry for potato quality on before Pic, I didn't took much back then.

Got it a year and a half ago as a cutting with 4 leaves from my mother.

The shelf is 1.5m tall, I absolutely adore the look it has now!
