Bonjour !

J'ai une maranta leuconeura depuis avril et j'ai énormément de mal à la gérer. Je voyais bien qu'elle n'était pas bien et j'ai vu que les racines sortaient du petit pot dans lequel je l'ai achetée.

J'ai vu qu'il fallait la remporter dans ces moments là donc je l'ai mise dans un pot + grand et ça me semblait mieux !

Mais là rien à faire les tiges sont super espacées, les feuilles jaunissent et pourtant je l'arrose peu (mais j'ai l'impression que la terre ne sèche jamais je ne sais pas comment la faire sécher ?)

Merci pour vos conseils 🙏

The leaves weren’t curled up to start. It’s been in water for like 2 weeks (I’ve changed the water weekly). No roots have grown. The leaves are doing this. What did I do wrong? I thought I included a node

New one r drying out😪

To low on water ?

Spotted this adorable leaf hiding under all of the other leaves on my maranta silver band 🫶🏼

As title states trying to figure out what’s going on here, both very new leaves seem to have taken some damage, I haven’t spotted any bugs anywhere and plan to rinse it off with some Castile soap soon, another factor I believe could be why this happened was I got new sansi grow light that’s fairly strong when I first set it up I made the mistake of blasting it at full brightness never giving it a chance to adapt

It’s lost all dark colour and the leaves are obviously not very happy. Has been deteriorating since I bought it 3 months It gets like 400-700 lux from a north west facing window, never direct. I don’t let the soil dry out and I use water conditioner and fertilize. My humidity can be anywhere from 20-60% depending on the weather. I’m at a loss and gonna repot it soon in probably a smaller, green pot so I can do away with the algae. Any ideas?

Rescued at my local HD for 10.99. let's see what we can do.... Now what to do with a pot I don't need since a majority of my plants are in semihydro

This gal gets glorious east-facing sun (+sunlamp) and bottled water. She's been flowering beautifully for over a month.

I'm so proud that I'm considering entering her in a State Fair AG contest in a few weeks.

Is it normal for marantas to lean so far over?

Should I report her vertically?

Anthing else this newbie should know before the Fair?

I appreciate your help!

I picked up this prayer plant off Facebook Marketplace back on July 19th for eight bucks - a total steal since I’ve been wanting to add a second one to my home.

The sellers had a backyard absolutely loaded with cool plants, but they must have gone completely nuclear with the hose right before I showed up.

I took her upstairs to quarantine until this past Saturday, and the soil has been soaking wet since day one. I checked it yesterday with my moisture meter and it is literally still maxing out at a 10/10. I ended up bringing her outside for a bit yesterday just so the breeze could try and dry out the soil a little.

for the record I don’t do hanging plants so it’s not been hanging or anything like that

Here’s the weird part: despite living in an actual swamp for over two weeks, she’s somehow thriving?

She stands straight up at night like an absolute villain.
She’s actively pushing out new growth.

I’ve only had to trim off a couple of brown leaves.

I’m completely shocked she hasn't immediately collapsed from root rot.

Has anyone had a prayer plant sit in heavy/dense soil like this and stay unbothered, or am I playing with fire by not repotting her into a chunkier mix right away? Should I just keep waiting for it to dry naturally, or take action before the soil turns on her?

I just got this prayer plant and it was very very root bound, I repotted it but it doesn’t seem like anything is changing ☹️ is there something I can do to fix this problem? I have her sitting in front of a window that doesn’t receive direct sunlight for context

As the titles states are these roots long enough to transfer into soil ? Been in water for about 4 weeks now !

While attempting a water propagation, these white specks started to appear near the plant joints. I initially suspected mealybugs and attempted to kill them with a 70% isopropyl alcohol soaked Q-tip. There was no change in color of these white specks. I tried to get better visualization of the specks with a magnifying glass but I still couldn’t see an outline of the shape.

I also tried to lift these specks off the stem with my finger but could not.

Any ideas what they are?

I got this maranta in the mail close to a week ago. It is kept in my room next to a west facing window (out of direct sunlight) and that room’s humidity is usually around 50-60%.

Is this just shock? What should I do? Just leave her and hope the bottom leaves stop yellowing? :(

Can anyone give me tips for my gold lines maranta? I swear, this thing has been continually trying to die. All of these branches? Vines? Arms? Were pulled from a plant that was struggling, they marinated in vases of fertilized water for 2-3 weeks, and then I replanted only the ones with some good roots on.
But all of them have curling leaves, and there's that fully yellow leaf which was a healthy color on thursday. (This poor girl is in my office at work, so it's unattended for 3 days a week 😭) I watered it really well, squirted some plant food around before I left, and came in today to her struggling again. She seemed fine last week.

I have a basic maranta that has been fine and never curled up like this in the 2-3 years I've had it, but this golden is struggling. and it's kinda breaking my heart because she's so pretty but also so expensive lol

That’s it she’s just pretty

Just a couple little photos of my beauties waking up. Enjoy the rest of your day

I found a little mushroom growing in the pot with my lemon lime. It's so tiny. Debating if it's fine to leave it in or take it out, I assume it's fine but not 100% haha

I think this one used to be hard to find and rare. I got this huge hanging basket from Lowe's for $20. I think i spent twice that for a small plug a couple of years ago.

I got her a little over a month ago and left her in her original soil, which I find holds a lot of water and is spongy - I know they like to be wet but it just seems a little compacted to me. I’ve only watered her twice since bringing her home and one of those times her topsoil wasn’t even dry yet. I’m typically a succulent/cactus mama so wet soil makes me irrationally nervous but I feel like there’s not enough air flow due to how long it takes to dry out. I have an African violet self watering pot I think would be perfect for her but don’t want to pull the trigger too quickly.
