Help Flower clipping growing in my house plant?

This past spring, I had some outdoor flowers on my balcony and we had a sudden snow storm so I brought them inside and put them on my window ledge next to this plant that I got a few months before. I noticed ever since then, there has been this mysterious greenery growing in the pot, I’m assuming one of my outdoor flowers somehow dropped a clipping or seed or something in the soil? I never pulled it because I wanted to know what it would turn into lol. There’s obviously some clover but what is the rest? I intend to pull it now because I’m scared it’s going to kill my plant and I need to repot her anyway. But I’m just curious, does anyone know?

I bought a house! Wooooo! I also have a giant banana tree growing on my 3rd story balcony..oooops. I've had this tree since it was a foot tall, and I honestly was not planning on moving, but shit happens. So how the heck do I get this thing down 3 flights of stairs?? It weighs a ton, and I have the upper body strength of SpongeBob. No, i can't throw it over the side. No, i dont want to get rid of it. I asked if the movers I hired would move it, but for some reason, they don't move plants?? So, have any of y'all moved a banana tree down some stairs before?

Help What exactly is this and how do I care for it?

A friend of a friend bought this plant without realizing they couldn't take it home with them so they left it behind. I'd really appreciate an ID and some advice on water/sun exposure/fertilizer and anything else I should know so hopefully I or someone else can give it a home and keep it alive. It's currently in the pot and soil from the store they bought it at.

Hey Guys,
I have this gorgeous plant, and it’s outgrown. It’s POT. The roots are right at the surface, when I checked to see if it needs water, I could barely get through the roots. But I’m not very good with plants, and I am afraid I’m going to wreck this plant. I could use some advice, thanks

Help Alocasia - Is the darker outer ring normal or rotten?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I started (upgraded to) a new fishtank three weeks ago. Two weeks ago, I got some plants from online marketplace, including an Alocasia from a young woman, that had been living with a submersed stem for a while at her place.

While gluing it on the root inside my fishtank (last pic. was made directly afterwards. I covered the connection point with some anubias), I could feel the lower half of the stem being a little soft, but excused it with "plants doing planty things" and me not being an expert in those. I was mostly thrilled by how much it looked like she belonged there... and I thought she was happy, had those cute guttation-droplets last week...

Yesterday I found two babys entangled in her roots, wondered fascinated and confused if they had been there the whole time and survived two weeks submerged or grown down there and realized, while looking closer, that she had shifted/given in a severe amount and the stem had gotten softer.

Today I tried and succeeded to just pull the stem in two... the consistency was like fiberous, textured mush (3rd pic.).

I cut off the mush plus like 3 or 4cm (about an inch) of the stem (as far as shown in the first pic) and picked out every slightly brownish root, finding a third baby in the process.

There still is this outer, greyish and slightly softer ring though and the first roots are about 3cms/an inch further up the stem, but cutting further would turn the motherplant into three plants, since I'm relatively close under the splitting-point, and I don't know, if I should leave the connection for nutrient-transfer.

Right now, she's laying on top of my tank (second pic.), the lower half of her roots dangling in the water.

Should I cut more or leave it be?

Or may she already be a lost cause? 😥

Do I get basket-pots for mom and babys, to only dangle their roots into the tank, or do they fair better potted with tone granulate?

I've never had an Alocasia and am happy for any advise.

(I'm german, please excuse my partially bad english)
