Hi

I wanna see more of this 😍

Yes I did break the sheath I was confused and wanted to confirm it was a flower 😭

Is it normal to bust out with a flower rather than leaves right after planting? The first leaf hasn't even unfurled yet 🫩

I’ve had a fungus gnat issue in all my plants ever since I replaced all their soil in May. I’ve been watering with mosquito bits every 1-2 weeks, using yellow stickies and blue light wall stickies for the past 3.5 months and I’m still having the issue! It may have gotten slightly better but not good enough. A couple of my plants are doing better but overall, I’m completely frustrated. My birds of paradise and large monstera seem to have the most activity. Does anyone have any recommendations? Is it time to replace all the soil?

For some additional context, I’ve had my monstera and birds of paradise for years and never had this issue until this past May.

Accidental success. My Alocasia zebrina had an underwhelming few years at my old house. Moving to my new house, it spent the winter in my bright, slightly cooler but sometimes quite humid, bathroom; then moved to my much brighter, far warmer living room. A few feeds and a lot of sunshine, and voila, many baby Alocasia!

So many bees have been coming here since it started flowering...

So this pencil cactus was not doing well at all a few months ago. I’ve always lived in apartments and gotten terrible light, and grow lights don’t seem to be anywhere close to sufficient for it. It looked really rough, so I put it in this hanging pot and hung it off the balcony above me to see if I could revive it. A few months later and it has EXPLODED with growth and I couldn’t be happier! That being said, I know these typically are not hangers, and typically don’t grow like this. How should I go about handling this (not so) little guy? Just leave it as is? It obviously seems very happy, even putting out brand new shoots in the center, which should grow upright from what I can tell. It’s in proper soil and tbh I don’t even water it myself as it gets watered whenever it rains. Thank you in advance!

A praying mantis has taken residency on my spider plant. Every morning/afternoon/night I go and see where it is living at the moment. It has been here daily for about a month! It showed up after a caterpillar murdered my OG spider plant :( I believe it is guarding OGs offspring 😂

Pics of it hiding, chilling, and added pics of my beautiful spider baby that I love soooooooo much!!!!!

He had been thriving for several years (in this same location and time of year so its not sunlight or temp related) but now he is losing leaves left and right. He is watered appropriately according to my plant care app (non ai) and his soil was changed recently. He is always droopy now and yellowing. The picture didn’t quite capture the discoloration but oh well

$28 for this haul since its end of season, I’m so excited

I’m wanting to propagate my monstera but I’m not sure where to cut it. Help!

I’ve had this plant for a few months now. Like with all my other plants, I check the soil and water it when it starts to feel dry (usually avg. 2 weeks). However in the last month it’s lost two leaves and I see some are starting to slightly change colour / mottle in colour. I’m still seeing growth, it didn’t reach the floor when I got it. I’m not using plant food. It’s in a bright spot that gets maybe 1-2 hours of direct sunlight in the late afternoon. Any help or tips would be appreciated - thank you!

My radishes are all legs. Any advice. I have cleaned the leaves now. But them in direct sunlight now just going they grow

Is it too late to redirect this plant? I got a clipping from a lady and hers was standing upright, I don’t remember if it was held by anything. I’m not well-versed in plants and their care, so any advice would be helpful. As you can see, I’ve just propped it on a cup, not sure if that’s helpful or not.
