I was able to save two of the three seedlings. The other is in a self watering pot. Might have to repot that one soon as that might be too much water for these pink polka dots.

Found a better use for these instead of just sitting on a shelf. Still missing a bunch of buckets though.

Haul I turned 30 earlier this year and realized I wanted a new hobby for my new era. Two weeks ago, I decided on a whim to buy some plant clippings from a random lady on Facebook. They're all growing roots and I am so stoked 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

This is the first houseplant I have ever had. It was a housewarming gift when I moved into my own place after a rough breakup. 3 years later and I have almost 100 happy, healthy plants.

Help My Monstera just casually decided to flower?! What do I do?

Thumbnail

60 Upvotes

So we have a big old Monstera plant in our conservatory (UK) that seems to be very happy there despite us not really knowing how to look after it.

We went on hols and on our return low and behold it has flowered (we didn't realise that even happened) and it looks like two more of the corn on the cob shaped flowers/fruits are coming soon! We'd love to pollinate them but not entirely sure what we're doing to give it the best chance. Also while the conservatory is baking in the summer it's freezing in the winter.

Welcome any and all top tips 🙏🏼

Help i have officially outgrown my plant tables.

trying to be better to my plants and grow the collection! my sunroom/dining room faces north/east, with the right side (by the rubber plant) getting a little afternoon southern light.

wondering what y'all would do in my situation. build a custom L-shaped plant platform? hang more of them? plant rack? I'll have free time, an orbital sander and a circular saw this fall/winter, so open to thoughts on how i could improve the setup!

I'm also curious how y'all would add supplemental grow lights in here (like what style?) since we have pretty overcast falls and winters

any help or thoughts would be so welcome 💕

Pretty proud of these, from 2 small house warming gifts a few years ago, have also propagated several smaller pots.

Is the colour variation environmental or are they different species?

Discussion Moonshine rubber tree

Thumbnail

85 Upvotes

I have a vast plant collection. A friend of mine bought this Moonshine rubber tree and I noticed spots on the leaves. We inspected it and found spider mites. She was ready to throw it outside in the cold and be done with it, so I took it home. (She named it Spiderman due to the mites.)

I had it in my home through the winter and have been working on the mites, but as soon as the weather was acceptable, outside it went. It's been sitting outside all summer here and has grown 2 new branches, which is really cool to me, my Belize ruby rubber tree is a single stem plant that has never branched, but also hasn't lived outside either as it's 7ft tall and I can't carry it around.

It's getting colder out where I live, so it's time for Spiderman to be in the house again. He has a couple spiders on him now. I still spray for the mites, but I think being outside and having the spiders as predators, it's going to be less of an issue this fall and winter. Hopefully.

I love this plant, started out just as a rescue, but the colors from being outside in the sun are just glorious.

Had to share.

Also interesting tidbit about Woodsorrel/Oxalis: Certain species of Oxalis are the only dicot plants capable of growing from true scaly bulbs like those of onions, tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and many other bulbous plants, all of which are monocots

Help Is it time to repot?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Saved this beauty out of the trash (neighbor tossed it) - last photo is how it looked in late 2020 (sorry so blurry and dark, spotted it in the background of a photo and couldn't believe how skinny it was then compared to now!).

It bloomed this summer and continues to put up new leaves. I've left it alone because it seems so happy, but:

Should I give it a bigger pot?

If yes, should I attempt to separate any of the individual stems/roots or is this "one plant" for life now (like are the roots too entangled to separate/would I risk harming the plant by separating)? I am OK with whatever - just want to do right by this gorgeous guy.

Thank you! First time poster, endlessly impressed by so many of you.

Help Carnivorous plants??

I’ve come into possession of some carnivorous plants and I was wondering what the best way to take care of them is. I know they don’t do tap water, only distilled. I know traps open and close 7ish times before the stalk dies. I know that they don’t need special fertilizer because the bugs…. But what are some other tips and tricks? How do I make them thrive? Right now the sundew plant is sitting by the sink catching knats. The pitcher plant has had a fly. And the Venus flytrap opened up with a dehydrated bug inside already.
