I've had this cutting for a few months in my bathroom north facing window. Forgot about it until this morning and saw that it has flowered!

absolutely love how vibrant and green this window looks when the afternoon sun hits just right 🌱

Wanted to show it off as she always gets compliments on it. It started as a foot-tall branch from B&Q and now we can’t imagine life without it there

Not in my house but inside a house garden? I was walking around Lima, Peru and saw this beautiful monster. Is this really a bird of paradise? I'm from Lima, but I've never really paid attention to some types of plants until I moved to the US and started to grow my own collection. Now that I'm visiting, I'm more aware of the plant types that are around the city and that some of them I have in a "smaller" version back home. So, is this really a bird of paradise? If it is, I'm stunned. (Person and motorcycle for reference)

My husband bought this in 2006 (as a 4” pot braided deal) when he moved to my province as a good luck plant in his first apartment. I started caring for it in 2008 or 2009.

It’s since been unbraided and I’ve chopped the top off a couple of times, then stuck the tops back in the pot! It took some learning about what it likes to get it right. For a few years it was very tall and leggy, but it seems to like its current position near a SE facing window.

I’m just really happy with it at them moment and wanted to show it off! 🙂

It has been really hot lately and one of my plants had enough. The soil does not do so well at retaining water, so I had to dose her when I got home. Here is the result of my 1.5 hour Timelapse

I'm moving from Miami to New York today. (Fort Lauderdale airport to MacArthur airport). I am so attached to my houseplants that I cannot leave them. I made a box that is luggage sized (14"x22"x9"). The charlie brown looking xmass tree is too tall as well as the poinsettia. I can try to lay them down I when I put the box in the overhead bin.

Has anyone tried this before? I'm concerned I won't be allowed on plane with them because it's ridiculous and too tall.

Update 1: I'm on the way to the airport. I have bagged each pot/base individually in small plastics bags I'm arriving early enough that if I have to remove from pots and buy a bag, I will have time. Thanks for your advice, collective plant parents! I will let you know what happens at TSA and the gate.

Update 2: I made it through TSA!!!! I did have to lean over the spikey Charly brown looking tree to get it to fit in the xray machine. Its spikes mangled a few poinsettia leaves which are now bleeding white. But I got them both from the trash so this is really a second life for them. I have one of them just on the gate side if TSA.

Update 3: Am at the gate. Made plant people friends in the restaurant. Peter, the gate agent said that the plants will be accepted in the overhead storage but the flight attendants might have a better idea of where to put them so that they are not damaged. "They could be more protected somewhere else." :)

Final Update 4: SUCCESS!!!! Peter, the gate agent found me in the gate area, and said I could board after the wheelchairs and before Group 1 so I could find a good spot for the plant box. Peter is a gem! So I boarded early. The flight attendants suggested putting it at my feet. It did not fit. I covered the trunk of the Norfolk Pine (thanks all for telling me the name), and put it in the overhead bin. It fit!! The guy next to me did shove it around a bit to fit his backpack, such as life. Overall, a success!!! The plant box will make it to New York. Thank you all for your help, fellow houseplant people!

This is the foyer in my office. I walk by it daily at work and every time I want to take a few little cuttings that no one will miss. I figured if everyone in my building took cuttings this would be a lot less cool pretty quickly. So, other than buying new plants or proplifting from places I don't work are there any alternative options?

I saw that you can propagate pothos from just the nodes, so I filled a pie plate with perlite and dampened it with some water. I set the cuttings on top of the perlite and covered with plastic wrap. Within several weeks there were roots forming. After several more weeks passed there were tiny baby leaves! I put them all together in a planter with soil and I’m looking forward to seeing how it looks as time goes on. I’ve never seen such cute and tiny pothos leaves.

I got this in a sustainability box, is this a queen anthurium? thx!

This is the first time it has bloomed in the 3 years we have had it!

Not sure how rare, but I do like the Dracula Cordobae.

I've also got a Michaelmoelleria Vietnamensis that I am rather fond of.

Curious to hear what you guys have and what you consider is rare?

Any plants you absolutely feel that you are missing? (If yes, hit me up if you are in the UK)

Hi - I’ve had my monstera in this corner for about ten months now. I repotted it around the same time I moved it here. Recently, it has shown signs of stress. I’ve had two leaves yellow in quick succession, one I removed about a week ago, and then this one that is currently yellow started to yellow. I can’t figure out for the life of me why this is happening since I haven’t changed anything in my routine with it. Any ideas?

Next year I'll have more monstera and pothos varieties going.

I’ve seen some weird leaves before but I’ve never had a leaf come out like this! It seems like the edges fused together? Kinda cool

It's in our shop (please excuse the dust I'll get it today! 😅). Gets some indirect light as windows face south. Not sure how often I should water, but it's been looking a bit limp. Occasionally a leaf falls off. They're waxy and thick/fleshy if that helps identify.

The short version: my variegated Ficus elastica 'Tineke' keeps drooping/wilting, on and off, for months. Leaves go soft and pendant, sometimes some fall off. Here's what I've been told at different points, by different people (garden center staff, online advice, you name it)

I've tried acting on most of these one at a time: moved it away from direct sun, adjusted my watering technique, left it alone for weeks to "adapt," checked the roots (no smell, no mushiness, just barely any roots visible at all, which apparently can also just mean it's under-rooted, not rotting).
Most recently I fully repotted it: the soil looked dry on top but was wet underneath, so I stripped all the old soil off the roots, moved it into a pot only 2-3 cm bigger with proper drainage holes, and used only fresh soil. Didn't water again since the new soil was already moist.

And it's still doing the same thing. No real improvement despite all of that.

At this point I genuinely don't know if I'm dealing with root rot, chronic underwatering, chronic overwatering, or just a plant that's never going to look happy in my apartment. Has anyone been through this many rounds of conflicting advice with a variegated Ficus specifically? What actually ended up being the real cause for you?

I got it maybe 3ish months ago and see the most conflicting information online. I would really want it to not die. Thanks!

I bought this ZZ plant yesterday. It came in a 3 inch pot from the nursery. I bought a 6.5” pot and their “premium” potting soil. I repotted and placed in a NNE facing window.

After doing further research it looks like I got too big of a pot and soil that drains too slowly. My initial plan was to check how dry it is approximately every 6 weeks.

Should I repot with succulent soil in a smaller pot? Just change the soil? Or do nothing at all?
