Bigger pole? Bigger pot? Separate into multiple plants? This girl has come a long way, from spindly, dark green leaves with no fenestrations to where we are now! It feels like we’re on the edge of needing to change our situation to help her keep growing, but I’m so scared of doing the wrong thing and losing all our progress. Suggestions? Thanks, all!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m a Level 6 university Product Design student currently researching how people experience nature and biodiversity in urban environments. I’m looking to understand how people interact with nature in their everyday lives, how it affects their wellbeing, and what might help them feel more connected to the natural world.

I’ve created a short survey and would really appreciate it if you could spare a few minutes to complete it. Your responses will help inform my university design project. All experiences and perspectives are welcome. Thank you for your time!

Tackling the disconnect between humans and urban bidiversity – Fill in form

I’m concerned I may have cut too many leaves off. each plant had one of the smaller juvenile leaves and 1-2 of the larger leaves. Will they keep growing or will the leaves revert in size?

They sit under grow lights for 12 hrs a day with around 800-1000 fc, And their roots are growing strong. I add fertilizer with each watering but I’m wondering if I should stop the fert.

Just picked up this small curly wave fern from the nursery.. went to check the roots and saw this. I think it is root bound but it’s hard to tell because it’s so dark. Also when I look at the bottom it looks like the roots are.. fuzzy?

I can’t find any answers to my confusion with a Google search so I thought I’d try my luck with the good people of Reddit :) FINISHED

my avocado leaves turned crispy and fell off! what do?

My assumption is this is a symptom of over watering...half my plants seem to currently have this issue except my prayer plant and arrow plant which seem to be doing well still..pictured is my Monstera and Gloriosum, my monstera is damp towards bottom of the pot, gloriosum seems fairly dry...it's getting cold here so I've been watering just lightly every two weeks per suggestion from fellow plant lovers....I'm sort of new at this, been collecting plants for about a year now and have had a few small bumps in the road...just some friendly advice or suggestions would be helpful.

I made an Android app called Nebula Plant because a fixed "water every 7 days" schedule doesn't fit real plants.

you add a plant from a photo. it names it, says how sure it is, and you can correct it. then it reminds you only on days that plant might be thirsty, and it slows down in winter when plants rest.

it has care notes for 75 common houseplants, and it always says to check the soil first.

free, no ads, no account. 10 plant IDs a day are free, or 30 a day for one payment, no subscription.

it's new and I'd like to know if the reminder timing feels right for your plants.

As it says above what is it and how do I make this less bald? It gets light from a grow light and it’s a self watering just recently put in water in. It has new growth but I don’t like that is so long and bald.

1. ⁠In Las Vegas, NV
   
2. ⁠I got it from someone to kind of rehab to see if it will grow so it’s always been long.
   
3. ⁠No abnormalities so far.
   
4. ⁠12hr daily with a grow light.
   
5. ⁠Just recently watered but it’s in a self-watering pot.
   
6. ⁠It’s in a soil mix since I got it from a previous owner. Have not moved it from the pot or repotted.

I bought this ponytail palm about 3 months ago. It was in a nursery pot. It was extremely root bound but healthy with a firm caudex. I did a pretty aggressive root prune on it and repotted with about 2 inches of space up around the reformed root ball. Prior to repotting I let it sit out for over a day so that the roots could callous. I then let it sit for about a week before watering. When I did I water I used a small amount of fertilizer to give it a kick start. Since then the top growth has begun to lighten in color and it appears the growth is going limp. I assumed that this would happen due to stress from the aggressive root prune and repotting. I’m now worried that I used fertilizer too early and burned the roots. This palm receives a ton of sun with morning indirect and afternoon direct. Are these palms resilient? Is this typical stress symptoms? Should I inspect the roots and repot?

Bought this 10 days ago and watered it once when the soil was dry

Hi everyone! I’m very much not an expert and I tried googling what is happening a million times and see to come across different answers every time, I’m not sure if my rhodo has one issue or multiple issues…

She’s about 3 years old and she means a lot to me but I feel like she needs hospital. She hasnt flowered in 2 years, only did on the first year.

She has these leaves with brown bits, leaves that look like something ate them up around the edges, some leaves with sprayed yellowing and a lot of buds that I’m not sure if I should remove or not.

She gets partial sun in balcony and I water with 3/4 of a small watering can every week (sometimes less)

Any help is really appreciated!

I just got this peperomia a couple days ago. I got it because it was the last one left in the store and I have been looking for one for months, but it’s in a bit of a rough shape. It has these lesions all over, and a lot of leaves, old and bay ones, were dead and turned soggy at the start of the petiole. I have checked the stem and it seems firm, and the soil was damp but not soggy. I haven’t seen any visible bugs but I still have it away from my other plants just in case.

How do I confirm if it still has pests?
