Houseplants

She was gifted to me last year, with only two flowers that fell in a few days (I guess the change of environments hit her hard), and I was feeling quite pessimistic about her future, because I've never taken care of an orchid.

Watering my plants today and noticed how cute these two were looking so I thought I'd share :)

Getting Thai Cons while being as bad with plants as I am was such a huge mistake haha

Picked this up yesterday. I’m excited.

I originally got this guy in Oct of last year from a plant shop and was in pretty miserable shape:

Before you say "Just give it some fertilizer", please look at my post about that plant before.

Anybody Alive And Growing Anything?

Hey everyone! I'm a huge fan of Hoyas, and I’ve been growing them for a while. I feel like I know a bit, but there’s always more to learn! Recently, I’ve been especially fascinated by Hoya Kerrii and its care needs.

I had a customer that sent me a picture of a heart shaped succulent planter she found on pinterest, and said, "Can you make it like Minecraft" This is the result.

Those are Maranta leuconora, which are supposed to be very hard to grow from what I've heard.

Here's my original post on Feddit.org, a german instance: https://photon.slrpnk.net/post/17757233

I'm new to Phalaenopsis orchids.

Got it for free in a - i presume - rather rock-bottom state and now it is finally in bloom again! So happy rn

It's a Tradescantia fluminensis growing in an old Metaxa bottle.

I just got this gold fish plant on Saturday.

This pest is kind of beautiful but also terrible. What is it? Any tips for how to get rid of it, besides cleaning all the leaves?

I've had this palm for a few years and it's been fine. I water it once a month, don't move it around too much and make sure the soil doesn't get waterlogged.

most leaves start to turn brown on the tips. is this an issue? what could have caused this?

Got this lil guy at a plant giveaway with just the one bitty pitcher, now working on 3 new pitchers! So proud c:

A friend recently gave me this plant as a present. So far I have no experience with potted plants, but for now it is doing quite well with plenty of daylight and multiple small doses of water throughout the day. If I knew what kind of plant it was, I could take even better care of it.

This dude finaly bloomed for me for the first time! Love his colors ❤️

This is my hoya sipitangensis, not sure why it chose to flower while I'm re-rooting it but I'm not complaining.

I have no idea why but my foxtail fern has taken off in the last few days. I’ve been having to turn it every day due to the tops always facing towards the window every night.

I found this what I assume to be tradescantia zebrina last winter as a little stem with three leaves laying on the ground. It has turned into one of my favorite plants over the last year!

Went to a plant show yesterday with no intention to buy. I've had a h. gunung gading (bottom) on my list for so long though and the price was right so here we are... Also there was a carnivorous table so I picked up a sundew (top) to go with my pings that I had at home.

I hope I can keep the cycle going with this pineapple lineage for many generations to come.

yes, I used the peanut butter pot, support the extreme cheapskates.

I just noticed this, what should I do? Sorry for the vague question but I can't find any good articles on what this is.

I think you're supposed to pinch them off, but they're just too pretty.

Every day I find a few leaves on the ground. I read online that it might be root rot so I have been avoiding giving it water.

Shipping has closed for the winter so I will not be getting anymore plants this year. Probably for the better... I'll have no space once they all get bigger 😅

The label says "Schefflera".

She calls it the soda can planter, and I love it. She made it in tinkercad and I helped her print it with recycled PLA.

I've been waiting a month or so for the blooms to finally open up! They smell so good, very floral.

Hey plant friends! 👋 I've been working on some unique, handcrafted planters that are perfect for adding a special touch to your houseplant collection. Each planter is made for my own specific plants. Attached image is my avocado tree and a few succulents.

My hoya’s sunstressing makes me so happy ❤

This is a spider plant I rescued early in the summer. It is going crazy. Do I need to trim off all the babies? Can I let them keep growing?

This Begonia has been neglected for a while, but has also thrived 👀. I haven’t really done anything with it for about half-a-year easily.

I have never seen anything like this? I’ve separated it from the rest of my plants, it’s the only one with this problem! Why is it purple??

I’ve been great at killing every plant I own within a few months. So guess my surprise when the golden Pothos I bought in March actually survived long enough to be propped and repotted!!!

Got this plant little over 2months ago, and some ofnthe leaves have started to dry out(?) or so it looks like at least. Is this a sign of too little watering? Have tried to keep water consistant, but slightly unsure what is happening.

A close up of the flower:

Dear houseplant community,

Is the melanochrysum still considered rare? I've been out of the houseplant loop for several months, really mainly since leaving Reddit and r/houseplants. I've acquired all plants on my wishlist but always loved the pics of the melanochrysum that others posted. I wanted one but didn't think I would ever get my hands on one, so never considered it.

I finally managed to pollinate my cherimoya!

TLDR: Citrus keeps turning black and oozing resin. But I can't find the problem. I thought it must be root rot, but they look perfectly healthy:

A photo of a philodendron pink princess with many mostly green leaves with pink highlights and a newly unfurled leaf that is completely pink

The leaves seem larger and darker than any cultivar I've seen, and I'd really like to acquire one.

The one with dark, shiny leaves is Alocasia Cuprea, and the one with pretty stems is Alocasia Zebrina. I do hope they like their new home - had a bit of mixed luck with Alocasias in the past...

My Adansonii bush. Not sure where to go from here. I keep chopping the head off, and it keeps sprouting more nodes, making it look a little unbalanced.

I actually have an avo tree taller than me that I started this way 10 or so years ago. It is in a pot, and our climate is a bit cold for them, so I move it into the house in winter.

After moving my lotus seedlings into water pots they were not getting enough sunlight. A friend loaned me a grow light tonight.

One of my smaller monstera pots keeps growing these little mushrooms and I'm wondering what exactly they are.

I might have been a little too ambitious when I set my mind on growing my own wedding bouquet. 2 months after the wedding they are now in bloom. At least they're pretty! 😄🌱

After 15 days of my lotus seeds soaking, I think they and I are ready to plant them. I just ordered two 14” pots with drainage plugs. Now onto finding appropriate substrate for them.

Should I be worried? I was away for 3 days and this thing grew in the soil of my Monstera. Google told me it's a Shaggy Inc Cap Mushroom, but I'm unsure. How would that get in there? I repotted the Monstera back in March with fresh soil from the hardware store.

Any idea what this is? Many leaves are dying on the plant, wondering if there is a way to save it. I have forgotten the name of the plant, but will update when I find it.

Anybody know what creepy crawlies is in my attar of roses pelargonium? Had them a few weeks ago, sprayed with soapy water. They died. This morning they were back. The plant is just a tiny little baby, I'm worried it's something that'll kill the plant.

I was helping a friend move and she said she was having no luck with this plant. She said it barely stays alive and never really does well. She said it might be a hibiscus.

I have a dreamcatcher which I thought had a dying leaf or something, but it looks like this could be something like seeds!? There is a second pod which isn't open to the left in the picture.

Rescued some half dead roses from a sale rack last year and they've exploded with a little tlc. 🥰

We are having a pumpking growing competition at work and I live in an apartment, so I'm working with what I have 😆
