I recently received this as a gift, I’ve placed it in a place that gets indirect bright light (7-8 hours through a sliding door) also the room stays bright (east facing in South Africa)

I’ve read they do not like to be in low humidity zones, so I was wondering should I mist her when her leaves dry out ? I’m also waiting for the first 5cm of soil to dry (1-2 inches for ya imperial buggers!)

Any tips would be appreciated, thanks!

Codiaeum variegatum 'Gold Dust'. How long can it stay there? Would be nice if it stayed there ,for ever,"

I bought this for my plants, it’s supposed to mist, the shit shoots straight bullets. Is there a way to adjust it or did i buy a dud

Hello All, Thanks in advance for reading the post.
I bought this peace lily from TJ, and it was in 6inch pot badly root bounded ( it needed water every 2/3 days ) so I did some research and planned to repot it in slightly bigger (8inch) pot. I did cut few roots horizontally so that it can find new space in new soil. I repotted last Thursday, thoroughly watered, no harsh light near humidifier. After that it started wilting, yellowing leaves ( i take deep breath and thought it will recover just in a shock as it is drama queen of plant world) but still not a single leave has recovered! Not I am getting anxious, did I kill it? If any hopes- How can I recover it? Can you guys help
Please??

Newbie here. Bought my first set of plants a couple days ago and peace lily was one of them.

The flowers had these holes when I bought them. These burnt leaves on the left image seem new and don't seem to go off. I have them placed near my NW facing window. My apartment doesn't get sunlight at all but some indirect sunlight. I'm not sure what's causing this. Any advice on how to pick this please?

Not sure if that's relevant but a few weeks ago it dried up completely and lost all of the leaves. I cut the stems and thought that it was done. It grew back and now the leaves are all chewed up.

I’ve had this Sinningia bullata 'Emerald Forest' for a few months now, it’s my first caudex plant, it hasn’t put out any new stalks, a new stalk that was growing died back before it fully sprouted, I do think the big leaves at the front might be shading it a bit, I haven’t turned it so the leaves facing the sun get bigger.

Also should I repot it?

could also tag this as shame (😭) but I’ve seriously neglected this once-gorgeous burros tail, like haven’t watered in months and months. I never repotted it either, so the soil is pretty hopeless as well. I’m wondering if it’s possible to save any of it? Could these leaves be propagated (and if so, how?), or are they simply too far gone for that to be successful? any thoughts are very much appreciated!!

When I bought this little 2” sansevieria all it’s leaves were growing straight up and I thought it would continue to only grow straight up and spiky but now the new growth is growing out with split leaves, why? Will the whole plant eventually do this?

Que planta é esta

Hi! I recently got a Jasmine Sambac plant and I’ve been noticing a bit of weird yellow very small spots on the bottom of some leaves. I sprayed some neem oil as a precaution but I’m not sure it’s helps much. Please let me know what it is and how to fix it. Here are pictures attached. Thanks!

Please help!

I recently repotted this Kalanchoe into better draining soil. When I went to water it yesterday I noticed these white dots on the crown. They don’t appear to be moving. Not sure how long they’ve been there. What are these? Are they pests of some kind? Mold? Dust or particles from the new soil mixture? Something else? (Please see below about the damage in the lower leaves.) For additional context, about 2 weeks ago I purchased a few new succulents at a succulent and cactus show. They all look healthy and don’t appear to have these white dots. Two of my other older plants, a Haworthia truncata “Harry Johnson’ and a Crassula ovata “Gollum Jade” (which I’m clearly still rehabbing), look like they might have something similar (also pictured), but the other 38 plants in the greenhouse don’t seem to. (Yes, I’m aware I might have a problem…lol). The gritty substance lower down on the Kalanchoe is some of the grit from the new potting mix that won’t easily dislodge. I’ve tried canned air and rinsing it without any luck. I’m afraid to go digging in there with my fingers or tweezers and damage the leaves. I would welcome any ideas about how to gently remove it.

Yes, I’m aware the bottom leaves are damaged. The soil my older plants were potted in previously was poorly draining and they were under watered. Also, about a year ago I had a spider mite infestation in my greenhouse. I believe treatment with an isopropyl alcohol mixture for 2 weeks then predatory mites I introduced took care of that, as there have not been any webbing or new signs of spider mite damage since. We also have hard water here, which sometimes leaves a residue if it accidentally gets on the plants, which may be evident on some of the leaves. I’ve since switched to bottom watering, so that exposure should now be limited. In other words this plant might have previously belonged in the hall of shame. 😂 But I was a newbie so I hope you can show me the grace I’m showing myself.

I know I’d love some herbs.

Basil, Mint, Parsley.

How do I get started and what hindsight could you pass along to a green indoor gardener.

please and many thanks 🙏🏾

I just need to post this after my family made fun of me for not using soil… Clearly they’re uneducated. 10 day difference on an slightly rotting tomato transplant from soil.
