I have a few spots left in my apartment. Pretty much all bright spots are used up by now, but there are a lot of dark-ish corners (especially on top of shelves and hanging planters) that are still empty.

What houseplants do you recommend for that places?

The only no-go is toxicity. At least, they shouldn't be super toxic to my cats.

Right now, a few of those spots mentioned are used by Epipremnum (I believe Pothos is the English name for them), which are slightly toxic, but hung up so high, that they aren't accessible. And even if they munch on them, not much would happen.

Ideally, as plus point, it would be nice if the plants are hanging down, not like a Calathea for example. I have enough of those 😅

Basically, I'm looking for something similar to a pothos, in terms of light requirements and the way of growth.

But don't feel limited by that, any suggestion is great!

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

The bottom few centimetres are filled with hydroponic nutrient solution, and the roots are reaching into the bottom to suck it up.

It is held by a 3D-printed opening (optional) and a wick.

I’m moving internationally in the next few months, and am coming to realize I have never moved with plants! Is it possible to move with my plants? I imagine I have to consider things like quarantine and such, but I have a snake plant that I basically raised from the dead and have had for seven years so the idea of leaving him behind makes me all kinds of sad. Do I need to just gift them to other plant moms?

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.

A month or so ago I noticed it starting to droop, and the soil was still very wet despite not having recently watered it. As a precaution I removed it from the damp soil and repotted it with fresh houseplant compost mix. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have improved the plant's health 😢

Is there anything else I can try?

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

any help/tips/ideas/pointers appreciated

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

I found them on one vine of the Ivy plant that I bought from Ikea about a month ago. It was kept about 2m away from my other plants, so I'm hoping that the little guys haven't had the chance to hop over.

I've also liberally cut off the visibly affected branch and sprayed off the Ivy in the shower, followed by a generous misting with soapy water. The plant will stay quarantined in my kitchen for the next few weeks, hope it recovers :<

My other plants seem fine so far, at least I couldn't find any critters on their leaves when I checked tonight.

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.

A lot of comments about the smell here haha. This one actually smells pretty faint and just smells like flowers. I have heard some varieties smell bad but so far none of the ones that have bloomed for me have been bad.

Is there such a thing? Some of our plants inevitably grow towards the window quite a bit when I forgot to water them. A very slowly rotating plant stand seems like an obvious solution, but I haven't found any good offerings.

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 have some UV plant lights by my desk that are on often. Recently I started to worry if they are increasing my risk of skin cancer. Is that totally far out or should I try to point them away from where I work ?

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.

I had to leave this in the same spot for a year and a half before it bloomed. I think Hoya are just homebodies.

I thought it was just another leaf growing, but to my surprise it was a bloom stalk. It lasted less than 24 hours before expiring, and a second opened up. It's always cool to get surprise blooms!
