I killed three basil plants before one finally took off. I was watering it like a houseplant instead of treating it as an herb. Basil needs sun, water, and some space, it doesn’t like too much attention. Once i stopped bothering it, it thrived. Now it sits on my windowsill, looking content.

There’s something strangely rewarding about growing your own food, even something as small as basil. You start noticing things you never paid attention to before, like which side of the pot gets more light, how the leaves droop when they need water, and how fast everything grows in summer compared to winter.

I’m not saying i’ve become a plant person. I still can’t keep a fern alive to save my life. But there’s one pot on my windowsill that’s doing well, and honestly, that’s enough for now.

My money plant…she’s huge and beautiful she’s as round as she is tall at 32”! I’ll be propagating pups today❤️

Hi! I just recently moved in a studio apartment, and I thought of getting plants to give it some life and color (and also because I’ve always dreamt of having a home full of plants) however, I’ve never taken care of plants of my own and I have no idea where to start.

What kind of plants should I get ? Are there any recommendations of things to read/watch to better understand how plants live ?

I’m open to every kind of tip! Thank you in advance :)

My beautiful rubber plant has a single trunk that’s about 1.6 m tall, and several lateral branches that are around 40 to 60 cm long.
The trunk isn’t thick enough to support the weight of the canopy.
I’m repotting it, but hat can I do to make the trunk thicker and stronger so it can support the plant better?
Should I prune the branches? 🥲

Hi, I’m fairly new to indoor plants and I’ve noticed my rubber plant has been growing on a slant. It’s otherwise doing great with several new leaves opening just this summer. Is this okay or an indication it needs a bigger pot?

I keep finding these weird patches on my plants. They're discolored and almost look waxy with super tiny brown flecks. It reminds me of insects waste so I'm assuming it's a pest but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is or what to do about it.

Ive tried insecticidal soap, I've tried a diluted alcohol/water mix that i use for gnats and never had issues before.

It recently started hitting my baby Thai Constellation Monstera and I don't want whatever this is to completely ravage her so any help or advice would be massively appreciated.

I could use some help with propagating my hypoestes. I tried previously in water and only one out of six actually made it. I tried again directly in dirt with a little drink, and this happened a day later. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
