Hi all,

I realize I haven't sorted this community yet, but I am cutting back my Monsteras this weekend and have a bunch of nodes (some with leaves) to give away. Happy to trade or send out to those who are just starting (with some goodies) for shipping and handling.

Peace.

Will sort out the bells and whistles on there the next few days, but try to format posts similarly. :)

A young community dedicated to balcony gardening.

Show off that vertical veggie garden 35 stories high. Or that bucket of potatoes you’re proud of. Perhaps some fall mums that have been catching your eye through the sliding door into your living room. Any and all balcony gardens are welcome! Come and show your’s off because we love to see it. :)

We also welcome ideas, tips, and items which have helped you in your balcony gardening journey. No balcony? Feel free to join in with your container garden with limited space too!

New Additions! (lemmy.ca)

Went to a plant show yesterday with no intention to buy. I've had a h. gunung gading (bottom) on my list for so long though and the price was right so here we are... Also there was a carnivorous table so I picked up a sundew (top) to go with my pings that I had at home.

I hope I can keep the cycle going with this pineapple lineage for many generations to come.

I had to leave this in the same spot for a year and a half before it bloomed. I think Hoya are just homebodies.

I thought it was just another leaf growing, but to my surprise it was a bloom stalk. It lasted less than 24 hours before expiring, and a second opened up. It's always cool to get surprise blooms!

Monstera Help 🥺 (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world to c/houseplants@mander.xyz

I just noticed this, what should I do? Sorry for the vague question but I can't find any good articles on what this is.

Everything I find starts the same way "top 8 reasons for brown leaves". Then says too much water, not enough water, too much light not enough light too much fertilizer not enough, wrong kind of fertilizer and so on and so on. That isn't helpful! Do I just have to guess? Why is all plant knowledge basically voodoo?

I'm tempted to take a cutting so I have a spare to try again if it all goes wrong, but the plant only has 5 leaves, so I'm stressing out.

I think you're supposed to pinch them off, but they're just too pretty.

Every day I find a few leaves on the ground. I read online that it might be root rot so I have been avoiding giving it water.

I might try to take it out of the pot and remove the bad roots. Does anyone have experience with removing bad roots?

Shipping has closed for the winter so I will not be getting anymore plants this year. Probably for the better... I'll have no space once they all get bigger 😅

Got a couple of my wishlist hoyas (undulata and clemensorium) and some other beautiful plants including some succulents and begonias.

The label says "Schefflera".

  • 4/5 for sunlight
  • 2.5/5 for water
  • 5-25 for temperature
  • Moderate for fertilizer

After I brought it home, I see that some of the leaves are turning dark and falling off. I don't know why.

Thank you in advance

She calls it the soda can planter, and I love it. She made it in tinkercad and I helped her print it with recycled PLA.

EDIT: Not sure why the image didn't upload the first time, I'll try again.

I've been waiting a month or so for the blooms to finally open up! They smell so good, very floral.

So Grandma has gone into the old people home and my mom is doing a purge of the house. Mom threw out Grandma's scrapbook of gardening magazine clippings from the 1980s and if Grandma finds out, she's getting disowned.

I have 2 more African violets and my sister who moved to New Mexico has half a dozen newly repotted cacti.

hello do you have any ideas or experiences related to plants for a very dark bath room? I am kinda scared to just randomly try a plant and kill it with those circumstances

My hoya's sunstressing makes me so happy ❤

This is a spider plant I rescued early in the summer. It is going crazy. Do I need to trim off all the babies? Can I let them keep growing?

This Begonia has been neglected for a while, but has also thrived 👀. I haven't really done anything with it for about half-a-year easily.

Hall's cough drop in hand for comparison, since my hands are rather large.
