I'm not sure what's eating my Hosta's, or what I can do about it, but I wrote a picture story about it in a nice rhyme. I hope you all enjoy.

This Guzmania momma was a gift from my s/o a few months ago. My first bromeliad 💖 This is 2 of the 3 pups she's sending up! So excited!!

(ps. I just got another one of a different type - I'm going to need help with the id, but I'll ask over at the plant-id place)

Really proud of this little guy. Just over a year ago he got dropped off a shelf and was in pretty rough shape. Salvaged what I could and stuck it back in a pot. Wasn't expecting much but here we are now!

This is what he looked like last July:

My newest plant. I just love the look of this little fella. :)

I especially like this leaf

If you look really close, you can see the poor things roots under a very large branch.

I purchased my fiddy from Costco early this year for 28 bucks. While it never dropped any leaves it also didn't put out any new leaves either. I repotted it back in April but I noticed the roots had already grew from the bottom of the new pot, so I repotted it again. After the 2nd repot, it finally grew! I'm so happy that it did the thing!!

I love it so much!

My beautiful cucumber is being attacked and I don’t know by what :(. Does anyone know what can create this nets? They are full of tiny insect and the leaves that have them are dying :(.

What can I do?

I'm really trying to not murder my monstera but as a beginner I honestly don't know why this new leaf is turning black. Did I overwater the poor thing? She has been vibing for about 4 months without issues.

I'm sure it likes the care it's been receiving.

Hi folks! This is potentially outside the scope of this community but Im hoping some botanistically minded people might be able to help me out here. I have several rose plants on my property and Ive always wanted to harvest the rose hips. The problem is they turn yellow and then rot long before the first frost.

I was wondering if anyone knew why this might be?

I repotted all of my plants a few weeks ago and then didn't transition them slowly enough to being outside for the summer. A bunch got burns. Last weekend, we had a short but fast and windy thunderstorm roll through which knocked over several plants. My little andersoni (Swiss cheese one) lost two other stems that I am trying to prop now, but this one is hanging on.

I'm seeing new leaves on most of my plants. The tiny Monstera deliciosa on the left grew from roots I hadn't cleared out when I decided to behead the larger plant (which also has a new leaf). Those two leaves popped out within a few weeks of each other!

I'm hoping I can avoid any other major issues over the rest of the summer, but I'm still learning a lot.

I've had this cactus for a few years, and for a while it's had a problem where it grows so tall that it can't stand up. You can see in the photo that I have it tied to some stakes to keep it upright - if not for those it would literally uproot itself in under a day.

Why might this be? I don't know all that much about houseplants. I water this cactus (and my other cactuses, which are not the same species) once every two weeks, about 1 to 1.5 cups of water. I use some cactus fertilizer like twice a year, pretty inconsistently. It lives perpetually indoors with those three light rods visible in the picture as its sole light source (On for 12 hours a day).

Given how little I know about proper plant care, I'm sure none of that is ideal - but is any of it the obvious culprit for why this happens? What should I be doing better?

Thanks for any help.

P.S. Those two nodules just above the lower string are brand new, and it's never branched out like that before - what should I expect them to become? Round bulbs? Branches? Flowers? Nothing at all? The tip top of the cactus being white is also very recent.

I was given a Montsera(?) cutting and I don't really know if this leaf is too wrinkled? It's a minefield trying to read about and understand if I have over or under watered. I just don't know what this plant actually wants.

My usual approach is to assume I have over watered if a plant looks unhappy, but I don't know if these bounce back after a period of under watering, if I hold back on watering more now.

I saw the flower and couldn't resist buying it! It's a hybrid between Paphiopedilum "Fred's Wonder" and Paphiopedilum "Presidential Moon" which are themselves hybrids of hybrids.

I bought it from Emerald City Orchids in Tacoma, Washington.

The only plant I have, had it for about a year. I love this little fucker like you wouldn't believe.
