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

I'm not sure what it's called.

It gets to about 10° to 20° degrees with direct sunlight. And in a bit worried about the black plot if it's vaporizing the water too fast

I will water it myself if it hasn't rained, and opposite I will take it inside if it rains too much, at least try.

And this will only be the summer period

A few months ago I moved to a new apartment and finally had space to grow some plants.
One of the first things I did was buy some chillies from the store and planted the seeds.

As the plant grew I felt like the leaves didn’t really look like a chilli plant. Too big. But the plant was healthy and growing well so I let it be thinking maybe I’m wrong. I’m no expert.

Then about 10 days ago, the plant started getting a bunch of little white flowers. I was looking forward to having some chillis soon!

But these are not chillies!
The fruit on the plant looks like it might be tomatillos???

I have no idea how that could have happened!
Tomatillos aren’t really common in my country and can only be found in the super fancy stores costing a small fortune. And I know I planted chillies!

I’m thrilled about the (possible) tomatillos but I’m so confused!

Hi everyone!!

First time poster in this forum!

A few weeks ago my wife and I got some beautiful hanging baskets with petunias in them. Last summer we got some for our deck and potted them and they did amazing.

This year one of my two hanging baskets I realized I over watered. In just a couple days, the entire plant, mostly all its leaves turned to moosh!

This evening I gave it a massive buzz cut and removed it from the hanging basket and set the dirt ball on newspaper to soak out some that excess water. I also have a fan on low to help wick away the moisture as well.

Below is a picture of how it's looking now after its haircut. Please tell me this over soaked basket will come back. After cutting it, I feel like WOW, what did I just do!! Words of encouragement and growing pointers welcome!! 😎

I don't know what's happening... I looked at it one day and it was weird, and now it's getting whiter

Does anyone know what these are? They’re very small, white, powdery when I wipe them away. I hosed down the hedges last night thinking that would wash them away, but there’s more today or the water didn’t work at all. We have a ton of house flies around, but these don’t look like little grains of rice like fly larvae

I love the color of these plants.

I got this strawberry plant a month ago and I’m not sure I know what I am doing. I live in Toronto, Canada and the weather is just starting to warm up so we have a lot of fluctuations. It is placed in a spot where there is partial sunlight for most of the day and some direct sunlight too. Am I overwatering it or under watering it? I’m starting to learn how to manage plans and need help.

Swipe for the “before” photo 🥺

I ordered this SOP online and it arrived in gorgeous condition on the 25th of April. This is how it looks like today (May 20).

When in arrived, it was packaged super well and thoroughly watered, so I haven’t watered it at all.

It’s getting lots of light (it’s in my sun room with my Bird of Paradise, which is doing well). I haven’t been messing with it at all, except to sadly remove dying bits and pieces.

I’m so sad. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?

Any advice will be much appreciated. This is my first String of Pearls 🙏

Meet Arnold - i bought him 13 years ago and he was like 6 inches. now he looks like this. he got accidentally decapitated 3 years ago when i tried to take him upstairs, so i replanted Arnold’s Head as the smallest stalk in the pot. he’s over 7” and i don’t know what he is, or how i should be caring for him. he has no growth on the bottom 4” of stalk (and it’s brown). should i chop and replant? i am a total novice and i have no idea how he’s lived this long.

I recently had to repot this guy, it was definitely out of room.
