My rubber plant is thriving with new leaves but the stem looks leggy. Should I allow it to keep growing up or prop?

Got this monstera, she a lil ugly and not thriving, do I cut where marked w red? How do I make it a happy pretty monstera, explain simply please, I’m no plant expert really 😭

Hi guys, i recently got monstera and i need tips on how do i took care of her and how to make her grow faster. I hope you guys can help. Im not new to plant care but all i ever did was water them so this is kinda new to me. I read that i should buy a moss pole so im curious what kind of? How do i put it without damaging the roots etc. Also, she is lowkey falling to the ground idk what caused it. Help!

Need advice if I can cut down my plant or not (og kush”

my beautiful bop is having trouble pushing out her leaf, it’s been growing very very slowly for the past maybe 6 months. i know i need to repot her but its winter here in NZ and i dont want to shock her. should i bite the bullet and repot her or wait for warmer weather? spring starts next month but it’ll still be cold for a few more months.

i got her when she was only 15cm tall so she’s my baby and i don’t want to harm her

I need to trim my dracaena to be able to move it to a different house. Where to best cut it? There's a small bud in the red circle, a fairly new shoot on top and the original stem at the end. He's over 30y old.

hello! long time lurker first post! i’m semi new to plants, ive had pothos in the past but unfortunately due to my immediate family/living situations ive never had a box store pothos be this large! the first two photos are of my plant and the third photo is the pot i want to keep her in for quite some time. it’s an 8in D x 8in H! i want to keep the roots visible so i was wondering if the last two slides of the 32oz container would be big enough to house her in for a few months before sizing up! if this is big enough what size up recommendations do you have? if this is too small what size should i start out in?

i’ve had her about two months now and she’s about 2x as when i bought her! i have those little clay ball things i stick at the bottoms of my pots and my other plants (that are similar in care) are in about a 1/2 soil mix 1/4 perlite mix. any advice is so helpful! i know she needs to be repotted and i want to check on her roots so badly but i want to make sure im prepared before i start taking apart a plant🤣😭

thank you so much in advance!!💞

Soil with rooting hormone or water propagation? Any advice or tips this is my first ficus. Thanks in advanced

My cat loves to chew on the leaves of my Black Pagoda lipstick plant. I’ve read mixed advice on how to deter cats from chewing on plant leaves, like spraying the plants with diluted vinegar or citrus. Some people say those are the best solutions, while others say they can damage the leaves or the plant. Any plant-protecting wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

I have been soaking this lady for hours to untangle the roots. What do I do?

My grandmother has this cactus. She got it from a person moving out of her building. She doesn't know anything about it. I'm confused if it's a rat tail cactus or a dog tail.

Is the pot size okay for the plant ? Also any tips about it would be really appreciated.

Thank you

I've had her for a while now. Always seemed a bit wonky but grew like crazy. Today she fell over and those were the roots i saw.

Please help me, I'm of to vacation in a few days and dont want her to die

Found this bad boy growing at my job, decided to bring it home and pot it.
Need tips on styling and how long should I wait before even trying to prune it.

I've had her for like 8 years, she been doing great, but she is quiiiite top heavy. I heard you can just chop at the stem, let the cut dry out and replant, but I'm nervous! Lmk if anyone else has done that with any success!! Thanks in advance!

Guys help 😭😭😭 I found mealy bugs on THREE of my plants this morning. Two were big enough I just threw them in a ziploc and threw it in my car to deal with later but my beautiful dragon bone cactus had two of them and it’s too big to just stick in a ziploc and suffocate. WHAT DO I DO

I'm trying to save my aeonium from rot, is this ok or should I cut it lower?

It looks a bit wrinkly still but the cut looks green, should I cut more just to be sure?

And any tips about what to do in the next few weeks while I wait to see if it's still alive?

I was gifted this lambs ear some months ago. I love this plant!! Its seems so resilient and doesn't need too much care. I never knew it would grow flowers!!

NEED ADVICE I'd love to keep this plant alive and thriving!! I dont know whether to split it or get a bigger pot, or the correct way split it. Please ANY advice for this plant is greatly appreciated! Thank you:)

I just got this money tree… was so so so dry I had to soak the soil to remove it.. bound by that tape.. should I let it dry? Unwind branches? What would you do?
