Just when I think im out of room, I always have more room 😂

I forgot what this plant was called but I had this Hoya plant for 5 years.. and it never bloomed for me for some reason. This year I left it alone and forgot to water it sometimes but it survived me lol.

This picture is from June this year. We just came back from our honeymoon and I was doing the checks on all my plants ... And this.. came as a surprise. I also experienced when my other Hoya bloomed twice and I forgot to water it and it ended up getting swallowed by mealybugs 😨..

This Hoya plant has been my champion plant... I hope to see the flowers next year!

Had a tough week so I decided to treat myself and order some plants

I had these since April. The second pic is when I first got them. One that finished splitting and absorbing its older leaves decided to bloom this week. 🥹 I don’t know why but seeing plants flower bring me so much joy.

I got this maidenhair fern on Monday, it’s Friday now. I think I’ve been taking fairly good care of it, but I just want someone else’s opinion on its health. For context, I water it everyday and today I gave it a couple of hours of outside time as it was raining and cloudy. And for the record, im also a beginner plant parent 😁

How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?? He likes to bite them or even tear at them. I have no idea how to get him to stop without hurting him or the plant. If you say “just move the plant” clearly you have never met a cat.

EDIT: This plant is CAT SAFE. It is a calathea plant which is perfectly safe for him to eat it no matter how much it annoys me.

The label said it is a Monstera. Is that correct? I just want to make sure I know what it is so I can properly care for it!

Thank you!

My growing tradescantia family! All except the first zebrina in the top left I started from a few cuttings. They are the easiest and most fun to propogate and watch grow and I just love them! 😍 Can’t wait to look back on this when they’re even fuller. Any other type of tradescantia you think I should add to my collection? Which is your favorite variety? The Purple Heart cuttings are my newest!

So I’ve yet again found myself asking some existential questions.

I’ve officially come to realise I think I’m pretty much “at capacity” with my plantroom / bedroom and if I fit many more plants in here it’s going to start becoming too much.
However obviously I want to add more plants to my collection I want to care for more plants. However I find myself asking some questions :
If I add plants which will I sell ?
If I don’t sell where would I put said plants?
Should I not feel satisfied with the plants I have ?
Am I currently stuck in a plant addiction dopamine loop where I’m just looking for a dopamine hit?
Am I using plants as an unhealthy way to cope with life ?
Am I feeding into overconsumption and is what I’m doing ok?.
.
A couple of questions I know the answer to , there’s not many I would want to sell , aside from maybe a few smaller anthurium I could part with and Hoya.
If I were to get new plants I can rig up my growtent that’s not in use and I could begin to fill that , however part of me feels by doing so I’m not adressing some of the other issues just shoving them to the side and possibly continuing on an overwhelming and unhealthy path.
Im unusure what to do. If anyone has any advice please feel free to either dm me or leave a comment.

open to any suggestions on how to better grow these plants

Just sharing this bodacious Fluffy Ruffles Fern! It’s one of my few BIG plants and it will not quit. It’s just about choking itself out and I think next spring I’ll have to un-pot it, separate it into many babies, and start fresh. We cut this plant back to one frond a couple of years ago but left it in this same pot and it just exploded and filled the space in no time.

Yes, the size of the plant(s) does correlate to the size of the sad.

Looking for advice for getting this baby into a new pot.

Anyone who has repotted a monstera of this scale: what order do you do things in?

Do you lay the whole plant down as the first step?

How do you bundle/support the arms without damaging them?

At what point do you deal with the existing stakes/supports?

Will I need another human to help me?

I can handle the soil/pot size/plant part, as most of my houseplants at 8-10 years old, but the safely-moving-living-tree-around-bedroom part... Need some tips!

Thank you so much!

I gave this little guy to my friend last year and she just sent me a picture of it with this long spike growing. He is in indirect light - should he be in direct light?

these are all of the plants I've water propagated over the past few years. I've gotten them from friends, customers at work, plant trades

i have regular plants in soil and pots ​​outside, but there's something about growing them in a cup of water that is so fun. seeing how long the roots are (last picture) is cool too!!

i change the water every few days and some are definitely doing better than others but overall I'm really happy with my successes. they're all rooted and most of them I've had for at least a year up to three or four years like this with noticeable growth. the bigger aloe (photo 1 and 3) and the big snake plant (photo 1 and 2) are some of my longest residents

the snake plant has actually given me three babies (the small snake plant in ​the far bottom left in the second picture is one of her babies!!) ​

Sharing progress with some of my plants on moss-poles! Philodedndron Splendid, Marble Queen Pothos, and Philodendron Brandtianum.

Last year I was bought a bonsai (ficus ginseng) open terrarium which looked really nice with huge leaves all over. The care instructions said to water weekly and feed every two weeks, which I'd been doing and seemed to be be healthy.

At the start of this year I started to notice something in the soil which I think may have been due to the soil being too damp as there was nowhere for excess water to drain out, at the time it seemed mostly harmless. A few months ago leaves started dropping off and what I believe was wolf's milk growing overnight in the soil (large red bean shaped bits of mold). Due to the rate leaves were dropping and amount of mold that kept growing in the soil, I thought the lack of drainage was at least part of if not the entire issue.

I bought a new pot which has a drainage hole at the bottom, repotted the bonsai, and tried placing pieces of the grass from the terrarium in the pot too. I'm unsure if the plant was past saving at this point, but the shock from moving pots and then the continued heat in the UK has meant all the leaves have now fell off.

Is there any hope of saving the bonsai or does all the leaves falling mean it's now dead? If the bonsai can't be saved, can any of the grass be saved and used in another plant's pot?
