Lots of south facing light from the left. I'm guessing pothos or ivy.

Especially looking for advice of support/infrastructure

Thanks

This one was difficult to resist lol

Hi folks. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for indoor light sources. I live in Colorado and we’re going to start getting snow here before much longer so I’ll have to haul my plants in. I was thinking about using a flexible LED strip for lighting over the winter. I just moved into this apartment a couple months ago and exactly one room gets sunlight on one wall from a west facing window so some supplemental light might be needed for my growing succulent collection.

My little girl was dying after her first season after being adopted from a local super market. Now she came back to life - stronger than ever!

The only issue is, she is no longer "little" and she's not letting out any flowers. I'm pretty sure you are supposed to trim and cut roses, but I'm not sure how.

Could anyone help us out?

Rhypsalis burchellii. Can somebody help me with this little guy? It's loosing more and more branches. I put it in a warm living room, no change. I out it in a cooler room, nothing. I'm watering it about once a week and the soil dries in between.

The other month I asked for some help choosing plants for my boyfriend's birthday. Many thanks for all the suggestions! I decided to go for a Philodendron Plowmanii and a Jewel Orchid. They came as unpotted plants, so I just wanted to check that I've potted them correctly.

I put some clay pebbles at the bottom and then filled the rest with multi use compost. I made some little holes in the soil and gently placed the plants in, then covered up their roots.

Will they be ok like that, until next week when I can gift them? How much water should I give them?

Thanks for your help :)

The first(only) plant that I ever split off from its “parent” is coming along very nicely! It is some type of snake plant but I’m not sure which specifically.

My zz plant was doing okay. Wasn't growing as quickly as other describe despite living outside in a shady but bright part of my deck in NC USA. Should be getting plenty light and is protected from rain. Then this morning I find it like this. Each stem has a soft brown spot at the base and has fallen over. I cut them off and put them in a glass jar of water until I know what to do with the cuttings. I quickly checked the roots and everything looks and smells normal so I put it back in the soil.

The soil is a cactus mix with extra perlite added for drainage. So what could have caused this sudden change? And what is the best way to propagete zz plant cuttings? I have 4 or 5 so I think I may experiment with water propagtion and perlite propagation.

I've never kept these indoors. It should be interesting to see how they do.

Hi, my monstera is slowly becoming yellow/brown,

i'm not sure if this is under or overwatering ? Or too much /not enough sun ? Or too hot ?

If someone has an advice

I ordered these seeds after seeing Amorphophallus borneensis at the Hortus botanicus Leiden.

The stem develops a pink coloration with dark green, black, and white patches. I don't think an image does justice to them, but here is one I found:

I think that this one is a difficult one to grow in an Amsterdam apartment, so I'm happy that they have gotten to this stage. Hopefully I'll get them to adulthood to be able to enjoy their beauty. Any tips on growing exotic tropical species like this one is welcome! I have a few other species and several failed attempts.

Before anyone else thinks that growing this is a good idea, be warned that these plants produce very foul-smelling giant flowers. Personally, I think that's part of the experience 😜

(Images of the adult plants are not mine, you can find the original source by clicking on them. Second image takes you to where I bought the seeds from.)

After a difficult time because I had underestimated the morning sun during a hot spell this little orchid is doing well again 🥵

3 flowers and many buds 🥰

I've been keeping plants for about 5 years and have not bought any meters to track and test light, moisture, temp, ph, and all that. Are these a necessity? I am starting to think that I need these tools to ever get some of my pants to thrive in my dark home which gets pretty cold in the winter. What do y'all think?

Did some digging online and the secret is a dish of moist O²-rich soil inside a loosely sealed clear tote. The clear tote lets the leaves photosynthesize while maintaining a higher than average temp and humidity. Meanwhile the oxygenated soil helps with root production.

The mix I used here is: 1 part fast draining soil mix 1 part sphagnum moss

I used a hose sprayer to moisten/oxygenated the soil every few days. The process took about a month for root development, and I lost 2 props in the process. Heat helps here, I'm in USDA zone 5b and I kept them shaded under my jade tree and a canopy in the yard.

These plants are very cool and seem to be easy to grow, if you have a mature-enough specimen for propagation, use the oldest and lowest leaves for propagation, as they likely produce the least from photosynthesis and will have the stiffest/hardiest stems.
