Won it in a raffle and none of the organizers even knew what it was. They just thought it "looked cool" and "would be appreciated by any recipient"!

I set out some free jade plant cuttings in my apartment building yesterday. I came out today to this! Some kind person put out free plastic pots and even planted a few of the propagations. Wholesome reminder that fellow plant lovers are all around us💚

The Fig and Patrick my bird of paradise almost about to burst through the ceiling .. and I thought something was wrong with my snake but recently found out the flowering is a good thing 😆

I’ve had this string of hearts since autumn, and it produced a flower which I just noticed! I’m very happy :)

Our monstera is about 8 years old and has been thriving through all the NYC apartments! I’ve been in this same spot for 5 years and it’s grown so much here.

In the past month, the fiddle leaf next to it has COMPLETELY fallen apart. It has dropped over 50 leaves. Then the monstera leaves started to turn yellow and die! We repotted it and moved it further from the windows, it’s not being overwatered.

What’s wrong with it?? I’m so worried about it and all the leaves that are yellowing into dying are the newest ones! There’s also this weird discoloration at the bottom of all the new leaves that are yellowing.

SOS please help me and my beautiful monstera 😞

I am totally new to gardening moved into an apartment when I retired and wanted to get some life in here so I decided to grow a indoor herb garden and micro tomatoes and it was a real learning experience not knowing if I was overwatering or underwatering too many grow lights not enough grow lights which soil to use and so on and after 3 months I am so happy with this new hobby I feel like I have pets haha

I got this gorgeous plant; it was love at first sight, and it was the last one in the aisle(at least at my visit)! 😅 I tried Google, but it says it could be five different plants, which I admit look very similar to this one. The label only states 'Mosstok green plants,' and so did all the other labels. 😵‍💫 My best guess from Google would be Anthurium polyschistum, but I want real people to help me identify it 100%! 😅 Any tips would be Appreciated, I never wanted an Anthurium but if this is one they stole my heart 🤗

1. Does it need repotting? If so, size of pot? (Wanna repot as it’s not in a nursery pot or pot with drainage)
2. How do I manipulate it so it’s taller and less lopsided??? Also imagine it needs diff moss poles? Or could I use like a wall thing? I want it to bloom.
3. Anything else…? (Will a net curtain covering window keep it safe from the sun????

Final pic is what I HAVE done with it for now… but idk I don’t wanna kill this beauty

Bought this succulent recently and it had one small white spot when I got it, but I didn’t think much of it. In the last few weeks however the white patches have spread to other leaves and gotten bigger. I’ve never seen this on any of my other succulents. Does anyone know what they are?

I have it for 15 years. I know it could look greener!

Title mostly, but also what is going on here and is there a way to fix it if it is, in fact, bad?

Edit: Thank you all for the help! This is why I love this sub. 🙏

I just got access to a 3D printer, and I want to print moss poles that are a good size for the plants you see in my photos. I have been looking on makerworld.com, but it's hard to tell which would work best for me. I would appreciate any recommendations (links and such) that have worked well for your larger plants. I’m hoping for a stackable half-covered (D-shape) moss pole design... Thank you! 

The ones I have been looking at but are unsure of

The first pic is after removing the leaf from water and potting it for the first time. My cat had a thing for it and used to constantly de-pot it.

But the little fella survived and here we are today. You can't see the original leaf anymore and it bloomed for the first time this year.

Im pretty new to houseplants, but I had some grow lights around from seed starting for my garden and wanted to get into houseplants 🤷‍♂️

Everything is in a nursery pot, and the ceramics are cache pots. Anything I’ve repotted has only gone up and inch or two in pot size, and I’ve been using a mix of normal potting soil and an orchid blend that contains bark, charcoal, and pumice (I couldn’t find a chunkier perlite in store so I’m improvising lol). I only water if they feel dry when I dig into the soil. I also just got a liquid tropics fertilizer.

I’ve had the Thai Constellation monstera for a month, the most fenestrated leaf was a spear when I bought it and has since unfurled.

The Heartleaf and Brasil philodendrons I got on clearance around a month ago.

The Neon Queen pothos I got around a week ago.

And the Marble Queen pothos I got a few days ago, she’s lowkey stealing the scene but I love her 💀🤷‍♂️

Any critiques or advice would be much appreciated, I’d like to treat my new green children well 👀
