Hi everyone! I got this plant a 1.5 years ago and it’s gone crazy with babies 😭 This is my first plant that has lasted longer than a year and I really want to make it my life goal to keep it alive forever. The leaves are starting to yellow and I think it needs a repot but I don’t know where to start! If anyone has any tips I would really appreciate it. Specifically, do I cut off the babies and what size pot/ kind of soil it needs? I’ve also heard you’re not supposed to repot plants when it’s getting colder but idk if she’ll live until next summer!

I am thinking she needs withers a wide pot or a tall pot if shes ready to repot. She always chases the sun even though I have her right next to a sunny west window

Bought this monstera back in August and it was pretty much dead but there was still some green so I asked for a discount and got it for £1.50. I chopped it back and she lives and is growing well, she’s a trooper 🫡
Last 3 pic are today

Got this guy in May for teacher appreciation. The new stem & rosette are really weighing it down at this point.

QUESTION: should I deadhead it and place rosette on soil? Or cut the stem? Or leave the stem? I may transfer the main plant to a more shallow pot, since it’s got this other rosette growing on the stem.

Thanks!

Found this old houseplant food bottle at my grandparents house. It’s glass! Does anyone know how old this is lol, the bottles nowadays are plastic with modern packaging.

Hi, i got this girl a month ago (6th pic). I repotted her because her roots were growing out of the draining holes. She has been loosing her bigger leaves, they just start drying out and changing color. (4-5th pic) Otherwise she seems fine, growing upward, popping out new leaves everywhere so i snip the big drying ones off. Any ideas why thats happening? Are they just old? Something else i noticed is these curled up leaves, are these normal? Current state 1-3rd pics.

Any help appreciated <3

plz help my Jade why are the roots like this?

I potted about a dozen Monstera cuttings and repotted my larger plants in some soil from B&Q a month ago. Since then these bugs have spread across every plant in my living room. Any advice for how to handle this infestation

Can anyone help me identify what might be causing this? I posted in the plantclinic sub, and the one response I received suggested thrips, so I wanted to cross check here.

I can’t see any visible signs of thrips, eggs, or droppings.

I assumed it was caused by underwatering and/or low humidity, as the humidity in my house is often around or below 50%. But now I’m less sure.

Several leaves are affected which you can see in the last photo. However, the lower leaves looked like this when I was given the plant about 18 months ago. Those leaves are still on the plant, and their appearance hasn’t changed since then which makes me question the likelihood of pests.

Hace como un año, mi planta estaba teniendo hojas deformes, hasta que por fin me di cuenta que tenía una parte del tronco comprometido con pudrición al cortarla noté que la parte que estabas en el sustrato tenía varios hoyitos que quiero creer. Eran raíces que no se lograron que terminaron pudriéndose entonces si alguien puede guiarme para saber cómo salvar la parte que tiene hojas y la parte nueva que le está creciendo el nuevo brote

I am guessing this is thrips. My pothos is three meters long and my flat is too small to isolate it. I have a lot of plants near it but i can’t change the placement of any of them really. Is this it for my pothos or do i have a chance if i cut most of it off and treat it properly for the pests not to spread more than they already might have?

I recently started helping my sister with the planting. She mentioned that a year ago, using the exact same methods, the plants grew successfully; however, the plants now look like the ones in the photo (at 25 days old). We use tap water and NPK 12-12-12 fertilizer. My sister waters the soil surface every 2–3 days, while I water twice a week, yet the plants show the same condition. 16 h light

It didn’t look like this when I bought it, I’m wondering what to do because some of the leaves are discolored. I haven’t watered it since I bought it, because the soil seems so still be moist towards the bottom. I took it out of the window and put it on a stand by the back sliding door, on the same side of the house where it was sitting in the window. It’s at the top of the stand where the grow lights aren’t at.

Fairly new to the plant game (a year or two) and my baby pink polka dot i have just repotted, and shes starting to bloom ( didnt even know they did). So google is telling me it dies back after flowering and to pull them before they flower. But it also says it wont die back so im confused. I typically buy plants that dont flower but if they do im like. Yes girl!!!. So which do i do? And does die back just mean it gets smaller or dies alltogether?

I couldnt believe myself when i saw this at lidl! Im not sure which alocasia it is but i think it could be varigated, if anyone knows what kind alocasia that would be very helpful! Feel free to share your lidl plants in the comments, i would love to see what kind of deals you guys got!

I’ve had my snake plant for over 3 years and haven’t repotted it, should I wait until spring? The soil has become a bit hydrophobic but responded well to being bottom watered

So I’ve been attempting propagation for years, and only had one successful pot on in all that time. As soon as the props move from lecah ball + spaghnum moss (wet roots) to traditional substrate (soil+wood chip+perlite) they rot and die. What process do I need to follow to get this right please?
