This the longest I've had a VFT and im so scared to replant it but also think it may be time....help!!! I would to keep this baby alive and see how big i can get it. Any and all help very appreciated!!

Will the tree hold its weight if we cut this giant root?

Made a couple of posts about this hollyhock over the last few months. After seeing its full growth I’m really starting to enjoy having it in my garden.

What I’d like to do is figure out how to preserve the seeds it generates and grow more along this fence line for next year. From what AI told me, seems too early yet. Some petals are falling off but apparently I need to wait for the pod to turn brown, then plant the new seeds in September?

Any advice is welcome.

I planted this cucumber plant mid May and have harvested 15 healthy 8-12 inch cucumber so far. None of them were yellowing and none had seeded but the plant looks like it may not produce anymore. Thoughts?

Not sure what’s going on with my monstera. I water it once a week. The plant is always facing the window next to it tho I usually have the shade on. I think it’s time I repot it.

Should I be cutting out the leaves that turned brown?

I repotted this monstera this spring, but apparently got confused with which way was the front. So now it has twisted around a lot and is starting to just grow straight out, instead of up. He has a fair amount of roots, but not completely root bound, so my idea is to repot in a same size pot, and just tilt him to a better position. Is it a good idea, or should i just wait until it is time for a repot because of roots?

My pothos is so ugly lol it has so much bare vine… any suggestions? Should I cut it up and propagate? Or leave it be? I will try to repot as it’s been in the same pot for quite a long time.

Hi everyone,

I have this Devil’s Backbone cutting that I propagated in water. It has developed some nice roots now. I’ve got more 5 - 6 cuttings too.

My question:
Should I nip/pinch off the top section (the growing tip) to encourage branching? Will new side shoots grow if I do that?

I’m a beginner and want the plant to become bushier instead of tall and leggy. Any advice on when and where exactly to cut, and general care after potting would be really helpful!

Had it outdoors for the winter because I read that it's an outdoor plant but after a while I noticed that she had begun to wilt. My guess was that it got over watered by the rain so I moved it to a spot where the rain doesn't touch it on a south facing balcony getting plenty of sun and started giving it less water (watering only when the soil was dry) but it's been months and even though there's some new growth I think the damage is done. I tried researching but I can't conclude if it's root rot, an infection or maybe I've been underwatering for fear of drowning it. I'm by no means a plant expert so any help would be much appreciated!

Inherited this lavender in my back yard. I moved it about 4/5 months go it was in really bad dirt and looked like it was dying.

Since then it is looking better (picture is now). I have zero experience with lavender. Is there someway I can help it become more full? Will it die if I prune it below the green?

I have no idea what I am doing here. Thank you in advance for the advice.

I got this money tree around a month ago & I noticed he lost some leaves & some are crispy alsoooo the leaves are looking a little droopy 🥺 need alll the advice I can get . As I’ve had one in the past but it never survived 😭

This is a bobo hydrangea in a huge pot and only one branch is wilted, it’s had plenty of water. Anyone know what causes this?

I just reported it. It was in a very heavy soil that was not drying out at all and it was in a pot that was way too big for it so I put it in a smaller pot and now it looks like it’s dying.it used to not get that much light like a decent amount now it gets more light and I just watered it

Had the hedge cut last month. It was overgrown and I asked the gardener to take it back as much as possible while keeping it healthy. Will these patches ever go back to being green?

I have no idea which plant this is I am a complete beginner and I underestimated the power of sunlight this plant has been the same for quite some time now

In Santa Barbara, CA. No tomato is safe :(

this prop has been going for over six months and the leaf doesn’t seem to want to die off. should I take it off and let it maybe prop again or just leave it

Hi! I have had this dieffenbachia for about 5 years. It probably gets indirect sunlight most of the day and direct sunlight 1 - 2 hours. I water her about every 2 weeks and the pot has drainage. I just put her in a new pot. She has a significant lean because she is so top heavy. I have read online that I should cut off the top and propagate her. I am terrified to do that because I have no clue what I'm doing. I use MiracleGro potting mix with perlite. Can someone please eli5? I am open to any advice.
