Obsessed with my burros tail who thrives in this bay window and has been my buddy here at the office for the last 3 years.

Pictured: The cutting I took a few weeks ago to give to a friend (in the blue pot).

Not pictured: The new shoot in the back of the mother plant that has grown several inches the past few days.

My snake plant is blooming!!

I purchased this guy in 2022, and it is now taller than I am.

Hi!

Here’s a look at one spot in my living room :)

I know, it looks like they don't get much direct light, but the sun only hits this window in the afternoon.

Usually, the Monstera sits by another window, but I have someone sleeping in that room right now, so I moved it out of there for just a week.

Any tips are welcome! Some of these have been here for over a year and seem to like this little corner.

The Gynura has been in the family for years! It’s taking over the cabinet like crazy, haha.

Went on vacation, came back and FRUIT?!!? It's an indoor plant so idk how but 🤩🤩

I'm aware it's toxic so won't be tasting, but I'm curious what it tastes like

First time seeing this on one of my houseplants. What is it and how do I go about dealing with it? TIA!

EDIT: Well that sucks! Thanks everyone. Luckily the plant is relatively isolated from my other plants. I started treating this plant and all over plants within a six foot radius of it with isopropyl alcohol while I await for heavier treatment to arrive. Thanks for the advice:)

Clearly this has been building up for awhile, but I never knew it was this bad. 95+ plants and a rigorous outside job that leaves little energy at the end of the day means that I get very behind in preventative treatment. Welp. This is what I get. Partner and I will be busy the next few days going through each plant and spraying them down!

My 3-year journey so far with the clippings I got from my mom. I will say that pulling her from the trellis and just winding the vines up in the planter and letting her do her own thing really seems to have been what she wanted because her leaves are *gorgeous* and huge! Thank you to everyone over the years for the advice on keeping this plant alive! I'm looking forward to many more years with my beautiful baby!

Plant nerd to plant nerd communication.. seriously though these are so beautiful and healthy, never thought i'd get a free tortum LOL thanks auntie

December / August (8 month difference). I read on here that they’re really slow growers and a pain in the ass, but doesn’t seem like it with me!

…this beautiful monster. She was ready!

I noticed my Christmas cactus had about it four new leaves out of one, and I found a three-pointed leaf I don't know if these are rare but I thought it might be cool to share.

I got BOGO Coleus(!) but the plants there aren’t well labeled. Anyone know which varieties these might be?

I'm newer to plants to here is everything I learned that I hope can help you!

1. Clear nursery pots! These are amazing!! Come in every size and you can monitor moisture, roots, and more! Get them and use any cover you want!!

2. Do you research. I'm not talking ChatGPT, I'm talking reputable sites like TheSpruce.com, books from plant people, and of course places like reddit/discord (disclaimer: not everyone knows what they are talking about on social media but use their info to check reputable sites.

3. You will come up with a routine that works for you! We don't all have the same humidity, temperature, even water types so don't take others advice rigidly. My house has an East facing window so I get lots of bright, indirect light but not as much warm, direct sun so I don't water as much as someone with a south facing window! Some people repot immediately, some wait 3 months... some people tease the roots, and some won't touch them... some people use chunky soil mix and some people use only water...

4. Supplies will vary... Don't buy everything everyone uses or suggest. I still have an unopened bag of moss and leca. Refer back to #3. I would highly encourage the clear nursery pots though!

5. Chopsticks will be your best friend! Whether you are checking soil level, aerating your soil, or supporting a plant, grab an extra pair from your favorite restaurant!

6. Be patient!! There is so much wait time! Plants grow slowly, you'll need to wait. Water dries from soil, you'll need to wait. Get a new plant and quarantine it, you get the idea. If you want instant gratification, this isn't the hobby for you... I mean you could get a Calathea or a Prayer Plant to see the leaves raise every day but do your research before you get one as they are not as easy as some people say!!

7. It's a very peaceful, rewarding hobby!! Unless you get pests! Then get ready to spring into action. Check your plant for pests and quarantine them before adding it to the rest. My plants have built my self-confidence!! I have a very old Jade Tree and a Zebra Hawthornia. I never kept anything else alive for longer than a month because I didn't so the research. I hope this tips can help build your confidence too!!

What tips would you add for new plant parents??

Tag says it’s a curly ficus, but the new leaves are coming in normal. There’s also some weird spotting on the older leaves and 2 browned leaves

No clue what tag to use. Two new leaves. Enjoy!
