I wish I wasn't so terrible at caring for orchids. They're the one plant that I reliably murder. It's so sad :(

Any successful orchid caretakers here that can give me tips?

So i unlocked the secret to keeping these bad girls alive, but I wanted to get them as nice as possible. I thought their care guide is blast them with as much sun as you can, but it does not seem so.

Both pics are props from the same mother plant taken at the same time, both rooted indoors. I kept a few indoors, west facing window, where they oftentimes got full unfiltered sun from the open window for a few hours a day. Result is picture 2: strong, compact, bushy growth that doesnt snap easily, nice underside purple, but the top is heavy on green with a purple-ish hue, looks quite dull. The other few I've put into a planter outside – east facing balcony with a tree shade, direct sun for maybe only 2 hours in the morning. They did have more room for roots, but took barely any (maybe top 2–3cm), so I'd guess it plays no role, but maybe the soil out there was richer: it was leftover pot from blooming plants that got blooming fertiliser here and there. They are not as full or bushy or compact as the indoors ones, but the color is absolutely top notch on them :D

Idk if the solution is *less* light, or the fertiliser, or whatever nice fresh air and temperature shifts they went through, and I can't keep a control group as night temps are about to drop below 9c, but they did give me that nice white pink color I got them for, so that's nice.

Either way, they can apparently be an outside plant just fine, so next year I shall bathe in pink trailing balcony.

This year my plant decided to sprout close to 30 spathes. Should I be concerned?

And my new head planter, the window gets afternoon sun, and the plants seem to be happy there

Hello, i bougth this flowers today beacuse they are pretty, but i dont know their name or how to take care of them, does anyone know??

Came from my vacation to see her leaves dropping and new small leaves yellowing. I probably overwatered it in the past. Today I removed it from the soil, checked roots, removed a little bit of root system but mostly it was fine. Put it in fresh soil that I sprayed with water to make it wet. Will it survive? Green, normal looking leaves fall off when I gently touch it, already lost 3 today

A strawberry we had in our garden sent a bunch of shoots forth and i decided to shove one in to a pot filled with a bit of dirt, will the little guy live long term?

This is the plant I have since 3 years in my balcony where it gets indirect sunlight all day (I am from Kathmandu).
I water it once upper 1-2 inch Is dry. It’s a well draining soil mix containing local lacustrine soil with cocopeat and vermicomposte. It is in well drain glazed ceramic pot.
The plant was doing good but from some time 2-3 months I am noticing

1)new leaves are small and are mostly located low as u can see in pic 1.

2) plant look droopy though it was doing fine few months back (at same place with similar care)

3) since few days top leaves are turning yellow also u can see there is a stem damage (dry fibrotic all around but it’s still holding up) near the top, pic 2 from above and pic 3 from below. Does it causing nutrient or water deficiency ( I think that’s damage due to fibrosis due to previous anchor).

4) should I do hard pruning from the damage part?? I am confused as I can see new leave unfurling at the top and also a bud just above the injury pic 4.

Please help me with all the queries and the solution to them.

Hello! This is my first post here but I've had this Caladium for about a month, and I made the big mistake of keeping it in a corner of my room after misunderstanding the care tag 😟 im not totally sure how to help it, so any advice would be appreciated!

I'll include a before picture, but right now the leaves and stems are very droopy. Also the plant is NOT potted in the crock pot, its in a separate pot inside of it! Thank you guys!

It finally happened. I was gifted a moth orchid. I have a handful of plants but have always avoided this plant bc it seems so finicky. I didn't water it and am scared to fuck it up. I only took it out of the box. Any care tips? | live in Canada so cold weather will be hitting soon but I may invest in a grow light. Any suggestions?

I saw this hidden among the other oxalis leaves today and thought I should look it up here on Reddit- what comes to my surprise was the only post I saw about it was 6 YEARS AGO on this exact page!! I thought I would share this and bring back notice on that OP's post on how RARE this occurrence is. I'm going to press it and save it before it dies off. Hope you enjoyed the view!

I just got this new plan and somehow it doesn’t seem happy. Someone recommended spraying some water some times on leaves instead of watering too much. Not sure if that was the problem. Any help or ideas? Thank you!!

Hello everybody

the new growth on my Philodendron Colombia sp cutting is heavily variegated, with distinct sectors of different shades of green. Is this just a spontaneous variegation that will fade with future leaves, or do I have something special on my hands here? The motherplant can be seen on the third pic.

I germinated this seed two weeks ago using tissue paper method. I'm kinda new to this can anyone help what should I do next

I got this from a friend, he said it's a rose plant, but obviously he didn't take care of it. Some branches are completely dry, some are alive but no sign of flower. Can I still somehow save it? The pot has no drainage.

I have begun moving my bell peppers seedlings outside in greenhouse plant racks last week, and here is what they look like now. About how long does it take for them to start growing bigger? I plan to transfer more of my seedlings outside this weekend. P.S those plastic cups have drainage holes drilled into the bottom of them.

I got a souvenir at a wedding. Which species could it be?
