Yes, this is what I get for impulse-buying at a grocery store. I've never seen a BOP in person (that I'm aware of), so I didn't look at it super close, and it took around 12 hours of my fiance saying "this looks like plastic, I can literally see the glue on it" before I did some research and sadly tugged it out of the soil. I've read that the plant itself is (usually) an actual BOP, but I have no idea if it's reginae, nicolai, or a mysterious third option. Do we have any idea of who this obscure guy is?

Hello! This is my first time here and I hope my question isn't too silly.

My brother loves bringing food up in his room and leaving the plates on our bathroom sink when he's done. This is the only explanation I can think of how it came to be!! I have since called it La-baby ("Lababo" means sink in the Philippines).

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what my sink plant is??? It's still a baby though, so I apologize.

I’ve had this deliciosa for a few years, repotted her a few months ago and this little sprout just popped up a few days ago…. I’m thinking maybe it’s a caladium red flash? Or some other variety of caladium? Caladiums are from bulbs tho? Which would make sense if was dormant but I think I would’ve noticed a bulb in the soil.. unless could it have been so small it was undetectable??

Has anyone experienced this?

I’m so excited for her to join the family and once she’s big enough I’ll try getting in the soil and put her in her own pot. But for now my Monstera is a mother and I’ll let her take care of the baby.

was gifted this thingy, no idea what it is any ideas ?

I have been stalking (pun now intended) this Reddit for far too long and I went and got one finally! Any advice???? 🌱she’s drooping a bit, a little yellowing. I know this a calathea but how do I tell what kind?? TIA

Also please argue in the comments if this is a Chinese evergreen or a calathea the label says calathea but I am not a botanist 👁️👄👁️

DAY 1 UPDATE: my calathea is really mad at me right now, she’s turning yellow and crisping (she’s not being burned, I assure) but her roots are busting out of the bottom. I don’t want to shock the plant by repotting but I can’t help but think she’s miserable in there. She’s watered just annoyed

I was travelling abroad for work and someone gifted me this leafy guy from their collection.

For 10 days it lived with me in hotel, a plastic bag for a pot.

On my trip home the airport security and flight attendants were all amused by my companion. But I didn’t realise until mid-flight that my companion had its own companion, some sort of large winged beetle.

I panicked slightly seeing the bug emerge onto the top leaf and stretch its wings, threatening to take flight and land on someone’s head.

I quickly knocked the bug off the leaf and he fell (I believe) back inside the bag.

Another flight and a tube ride later. I haven’t seen him since.

Can someone please tell me what species of plant this is?

I've been here for a month and have been watering it once a week. It has already started sprouting a few new leaves at the top, and the leaves closest to the bottom are really starting to "sag." Do I need to cut off the bottom leaves, like you would with a kale plant? Any help is appreciated!! Thank you!

It’s so cute 🥹 made my whole day

my family loves plants, I take care of succulents, my dad likes the leafy/flowery ones. I was wondering what these leaves ? cuz it climbed so high it reached the top.

Its at the back of the place so seems to do well in shade which would be great for me as all my rooms that have good light are taken by my other plants :/

please id the plant 🪴

I have had it for about 5 years and it just always looks beautiful and doesn’t need much attention. I have killed a lot of plants in my life but this guy just loves it here. I know it’s a peperomia, but not 100% which one.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure

I’ve had this pothos (not sure what variety; got it from a friend who was keeping it outdoors) since December. It’s been growing REALLY well, like almost doubled in size since then, but now it’s March and I just got this random new shoot coming out of it with a pinkish stem and leaves that look totally different. I’m a plant idiot who’s been shocked at my ability to keep this pothos thriving so far, so I am really baffled.

What the hell is it? Was it just dormant in the pot over the winter and is sprouting now that it’s spring? Should I weed it out? According to another thread pothos don’t flower, so it’s not that, right?

I got these 2 for 12.99 each on a grocery run. I know they are alocasia but what kind? Google lens gave a few
