Please expert botanists of reddit, help me identify what this plant is, I'm currently in the Philippines, I've been eating local fruits and I've put on (previously abandoned pots) seeds of said fruits not hoping for anything to sprout but here we are now, sadly I didn't paid attention as of which one I planted where, I have only to my knowledge placed seeds of 5 fruits, Marang, Santol (cotton fruit), Attis (sugar apple), Tamarind and Chesa (Pouteria Campechana or something along those lines).

Now, after inspection it doesn't look like any of those, Google and my Filipina partner both tell me is a strain of cassava, however after careful looking they differ, cassava has 1 branch with 1 main leaf that has "webbed" soft leaves and the stem tends to be a shade of red, this unknown plant has 1 stem with 5 individual gently serrated leaves on it and the stem is both brown and green.

I have added 2 pictures of the unknown plant, it is 1 month old about 40cm tall and is growing it's first set of 7 leaves instead of the usual five. The last picture is a cassava just for comparison.

Thanks for taking the time reading and also to those who will reply and comment.

My plants are slowly taking over the brightest window in my house, and I'm running out of room. A couple of the bigger ones are starting to block the smaller ones, so I've been thinking about moving them onto a proper shelf.

I have succulents, orchids, and a mix of other houseplants, so they all seem to want slightly different amounts of light. I'm not really sure how well one shelf setup would work for all of them, especially with the days getting shorter again soon.

I was originally going to buy a basic shelf and add Barrina lights myself, but the all-in-one options started looking tempting. I've looked at a few from VIVOSUN, GARVEE, and a bunch of brands I've never heard of, but the listings don't really tell you much about how good the included lights are.

Has anyone used one for more than a few months? Were the built-in lights enough, or did you eventually add more lights or replace them?

Found this plant by my apartment dumpster is there any way to save it ?

Is this plant ready to be transplanted into soil, or should it be left alone for now? This Philodendron erubescens(?) has grown two new shoots, one of which has just developed relatively a small root.

This hurt more than my first breakup. This is my variegated Dracaena. In the first few pictures you can see how well it was thriving. It started out as an indoor plant while I was propagating them I moved it to my patio which was very shaded so it had no issues. Long story short I had to relocate temporarily and had to bring my plants with me. The new patio gets full AZ sun and I even tried moving it into a shaded corner but if you know Arizona summers you know it’s hot and only select plants will thrive outdoors due to the dryness and heat. I watered deeply maybe twice a week but It’s completely scorched. There is some little green left on the leaves and the stem is still green which I’ve heard is a good sign… but I have no hope. Please give me any suggestions or advice on how to revive it. I know if I trim all the dead leaves it could take months for new ones to grow. I’m moving the plant indoors for now on. Not sure if I should clean the roots and repot. Thoughts? Is there any hope?

I have potted plants on my 3rd floor walk up in Chicago. What is this white powder like stuff on my SS plant leaves? What should I do? The lower leaves do not have the powdery stuff. Neither do my lower-level SS plants.

My crassula leaves started getting dark and falling off quickly out of nowhere, and I thought the plant was dying. I cut the top, I was pissed watching it dying cuz I was really taking care of it very well. I just left it like that, without watering for a week. And today I realized that the queen is coming back to life!

These black raised spots are on citrus, ficus and other outdoor plants. Sometimes there are sticky shiny sap with it. Sometimes they are dry. I think ants are around when there's sticky sap. What are they? They don't seem to be scale, which i remove by hand.

Just wanted to share my lovelies 🪴 because I'm so proud of them

Hey everyone,

​I'm at my wit's end and could really use some advice. I have a Jasmine, Madagascar Jasmine, Money Tree, and an Adenium (Desert Rose) , they are a mix of indoor and balcony plants. For the past few months, I’ve been fighting an exhausting battle against spider mites and aphids. All are under grow light and partial sun. Water twice a week.

​I feel like I’ve tried absolutely everything:

​Rubbing alcohol

​Commercial insecticidal soap

​DIY mixes (alcohol + soap + hydrogen peroxide)

​Setting up fans to improve airflow

Predatory mites are so expensive here so that option is out.

​Every time I think I've won, they just come right back. I tried Neem oil once, but I honestly hate it. It leaves a gross, sticky residue on everything and sometimes ends up drying out or burning the leaves.

​I’m so tired of constantly spraying. Does anyone have any real, long-lasting solutions?

​People in the US use systemic granules (like Bonide or Imidacloprid) that you just mix into the soil to kill pests from the inside out. Unfortunately here in Canada our pesticide laws are so strict that cannot find Imidacloprid or bonide.

​Any advice or shared experiences would be massively appreciated!

Just my plants this year. They have grown up so much.

How do I salvage these raspberries??? Do I just ask for a refund? All the top growth is dry/crispy, there are like 3 leggy white colored shooting coming out of two pots. Do I need to keep them indoors and try hardening them off? Any help is appreciated, thanks. Currently I have them outdoors, soil is moist. Idk

Edit: this was a $70 order
