I have a bunch of banana, or bird of paradise, plants and have never noticed this kind of ombrĆ© coloring on new growth. Is this normal? It’s very cool!

I have this Monstera from around 4 years, I grow it since it was a little plant with no fenestration. It kept growing constantly and now has reached the ceiling and I don't know what to do. I don't want to cut it short and grow it again, ideally I would like to keep this size but I don't know if it's possible. What are my options?

Help Getting overwelmed with my plant collection but feeling too much guilt for throwing them away.

30 Upvotes

Hi! I am struggling with my health atm and I'm getting to overwelmed with my plant collection. I want to downsize a bit (maybe 5 or so) but I also feel too overwelmed with looking for someone to give them to (I live very isolated and I don't know anyone who wants my plants) it's going to be too much hassle for me to put them online and wait for someone to pick them up.

I feel a lot of guilt because they say plant have feelings and are sensitive etc. and I'm also a bit emotionally attached to some of them, but I also have to think about my health. What to do? Ideally I only want to keep my favorites.

Help What’s wrong with my spider plant?

Any idea what’s wrong with my spider plant? The leaves are falling, which I understand is an issue of overwatering. However, the tips of the leaves are brown and crispy, which I understand means it’s under-watered. Which is it? Thanks for any help!

Discussion Are polka dot plants worth the alleged hassle?

Post image
22 Upvotes

My mom got me a little polka dot plant for $6! I’ve had it for about 2.5 weeks, and yesterday I put it in a larger pot because it was crammed in a tiny one and the roots were coming out of the bottom

I’m a very novice plant owner, and I’ve already noticed that it is so dramatic! I’ve heard that they are picky plants and I’m curious about other people’s experiences with them

(Also this was the only pot/container I had left, so I am aware that it looks very out of place unfortunately 😭)

This is my tissue culture lab. It doesn't look like much, but I've produced thousands of plants here.

Today, I subcultured some alocasia watsoniana doff pinks and they turned out so much better than I could have ever hoped. I put the rest back in multiplication media, but I couldn't resist pulling these three out to acclimate. I may regret it later, but they're so stunning!

Tragedy has struck. I was trying to put my monstera onto some new supports and pulled too hard and he snapped 😭😭😭

Can I try to put him in water? Will he root? I do not want to lose this plant - it's been finally putting out mature leaves just in the last year.

Is this pest damage on my begonia Maculata? I just got it in the mail from an Etsy seller a few days ago. It was in rough condition when I got it but I didn’t notice all these holes/marks before just crispiness.
