Really regretting this trimming of my goldfish plant….i did it because it’s never bloomed once in the years I’ve had it and there were just so many leggy stems, I wanted it to have less to give more energy towards but now I just feel like I made a huge mistake and should have let it be…I miss the way it was
I got this plant back in March and she’s finally pushing flowers out!! if I put her in a bathtub the leaves overhang the tub! She’s getting so big and seems so happy!!
I've had this succulent for about 10 years. I got it from IKEA when my sister moved to her first home after university. it was a scrawny little thing when I first got it, now it's got about 10 generations in one pot. I love it
This baby has been showing off recently! I thought you all might enjoy it as well. Look at that three pronged flower 🔱
This succulent cutting has been on a shelf in my office for literally *years*. 2024 I think. No soil, no water, no food. Just sat there, forgotten about. And it's somehow surviving lol
I couldn’t believe this money tree was only 36 bucks. I ain’t askin any questions I walked right to the checkout with it lol. It’s 4-5 feet tall. I looked thru all of them at the store to find one with the thick flared stalk cause I like the way that looks on trees “nebari” as they call it in bonsai. Makes the tree look older than it is.
Also taking bets on how long it takes Mango to devise and execute a plan to knock this bad boy down 🤣
Hi all! I’m a middle school teacher and I’m moving districts this year. Because of this, I’ll have a new classroom, which does not have external windows.
At my old school, my classroom had a ton of windows, and I had plants for a multitude of reasons (brighten up the space, my wellbeing, calms down kids, gives disengaged kids a classroom job, etc).
I’d love to have plants in this classroom, but am not sure about the best way forward. I have a single grow light, which I can put a few plants under. However, some sites have said that florescent lights for low-light plans can be sufficient. Is this true?
I’m down for some creative solutions! Please help me have plants in my classroom this year!

Love how the ZZ plant looks and grows. It's such a cool plant.

aphelandra (left) and calathea stella (right). they are beautiful and I’m praying I can keep them alive. does anyone here have experience with these?
A dear friend brought me this 10 year old peace lily yesterday that was her mother’s who is now passed. I guess it was lookin puny and her dad put it on the front porch, neglected and she desperately wants me to save it. Tropicals & begonias are more my wheelhouse. I’ve researched lighting, humidity, & soil needs. This soil no doubt prob toast no nutrients left.
My question is: once I check out the roots situation and repot it appropriately, do I wait and see if the leaves perk up, or do I cut them off down to nubs where there is new growth to allow the plant to put its energy there? I should’ve taken a pic before I pulled allllll the crispies off.
I really would like to revive Lazarus here for her, so any answers & extra tips I would appreciate so much!!
My 4-5 years old pothos decided to simply explode with new growth all along completely bald vines plus a bunch of random growth points on the middle vines that already had leaves around.
I didn’t use growth hormone or keiki paste, it just happened.
I’m pleasantly surprised with this one!
First photo is how it used to look like. Rest are from now.
She had a really bad mealybugs infestation. Her top was completely white and some of the bugs were the size of a nail. I feel really stupid cause I thought the white part was her natural look and didn't look too much. I've been told to use isopropyl alcohol but I couldn't find any in my city. I didn't want to wait for internet delivery so I used cologne. It worked and killed the bugs but now nearly a month later she's slowly dying. I lost another cactus (same story except the bugs somehow dug a hole in her so she was worse.) so I panicked a bit. I thought maybe the cologne was still on her skin (the dead one was still smelled cologne) so I washed her completely two days ago. Is it too late?
It was 1 year leaning against window
I’ve never had pests before. Last week I noticed spider mites on my frydek and tried not to fully spin out because it feels like a failure on my part. I treated with a neem oil, alcohol, and peppermint Castile soap spray. This morning I noticed some webbing on my old Baltic leaf 😭 picture of my ninja that was next to it that has white dots on it, not all in a clump like my frydek so not sure.
How do I treat them? Do I need to treat all my plants? Should I fully spin out bc I’m easily overwhelmed lol someone talk me off a ledge.
What should I do with my snake plant that looks like this? Should I repot? Put in water? I went to go water it and realized that I could just pull it out of the pot. Would love some advice!
