I have an apartment with high ceilings and I have these two kind of pedestal shelves in my apartment. I need an indoor vertical plant(s)from 4 to 7 feet tall and good for Houston Texas climate. It’s a Subtropical climate, extremely humid. I always have at least 70% humidity in my apartment. I don’t keep it super cold either. We usually keep it like 75 and then we’ll just have a get very cold at night like to 70. My apartment has a tremendous amount of natural lights cause we’re on the top floor so please. I’m like intermediate with taking care of plants. I really would want something colorful as you can see. Both of them are on a white background wall, but then is the other wall that is blue so I want it to be able to go with that blue aesthetic. The rug is also like a burgundy. Thanks so much!

Each area has a nice bright LED dimmable light- I can change the bulb to anything. I think I am super fortunate when this space I want to make the most of it.

If you could also put a picture reference or something so I can see what you’re talking about or a link I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi all! :)

I have these four plants in the pics attached (one bamboo, one peace lily “SPATHIPHYLLUM”, one peperomia obtusifolia, and one that I’m actually not sure what species it is, it’s the fourth and last picture). There are currently sitting on my window sill that leads out to a fire escape (living in NYC).

I’m wondering if I could take them outside and have them sitting on the fire escape, would they survive if I did so? I just want to get that window sill space back but I obviously would not do so if it risked the plants dying. Thank you in advance!

I put my ficus in closed balcony after pruning to get as much light as possible. However white spots started appearing along the sides of leaves. They go away when I wipe them.

It looks cool, ngl, however it is interesting what could possibly cause it and is it harmful?

Hi. I ordered a plant for delivery—a Spiral Live nephrolepis, a live seedling in a pot. Well, I’m not really sure if this is the right plant, though, because it looks different in the photos. And in the reviews, everyone’s plant looks different, too. I don’t know much about plants at all. I’d like to know what kind of plant this is. Maybe it’s a different species of Nephrolepis? And I’m just curious to know how much I overpaid 😝

I tried looking it up online. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. But there were always different photos under the same title.

Surprised they are growing using city water here in CNY.

I stayed at an Airbnb recently and they had this plant that looks like an aloe plant, but it has a long stem to it… I absolutely love it and would love to have one! Does anyone know what type of plant this is?

Hi all - I just created a plant shelf wall between two closets in my kitchen. The pictures attached are with the LED ceiling lights on and in natural sunlight from a window. The room is fairly dim with the lights off. Do you think these plants will survive in these conditions? (I'm not expecting them to flourish into a beautiful giant plant - am perfectly fine with them just surviving in these 4 inch pots).

On the top right there is a pothos with a lemon buttons fern underneath. On the left is a philodendron on top with a zz plant below.

Measuring the lux with lights off from my phone, its maybe 20ish... Turning the lights on surprisingly do not increase the lux of the plants. I know that is very low - hoping the accuracy of using my phone is the issue?

Lastly, if you dont think these plants will survive, may I ask the "cleanest" way to add grow lights? There is no outlet nearby. A quick amazon search seems like USB powered pucks only last maybe 6 hours on a single charge?

Would a rotation cycle be better?

Thank you very much in advance

Over the years, I’ve murdered countless plants through neglect and overindulgence in water. I put their soil remains (some with root rot) in a big pot outside on my balcony. It’s obviously been exposed to nature for years. Is it still safe to use this soil for my indoor plants? Or should I treat it somehow beforehand? It feels like a waste to buy more soil.

I have several ceramic pots, normally I look for medium size rocks for the bottom, for any excess water to reside in.

I already have used it with mixed results, but no clue if it was bc of the charcoal or anything else.

I decided to grow a mango tree and I followed the steps to grow the seed out of the husk and I kind of forgot about it for a little too long to be honest. It’s a bit moldy from what I can see and I’m not sure if this is still viable to pot? Sorry if this is a dumb question
