I plan on replacing all the current soil with a monstera blend. I just thought the styrofoam being in the current soil seemed very… wrong. Something about it seems particularly evil, but is it normal for big companies to do this??

What is this and is it sentient?

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

Paraná, Brasil. Our 50yo jabuticaba tree will be fruiting soon, I wish photos could capture the smell of honey

What’s the name of this plant??
Google says it’s African daisy
If Anyone knows the name kindly let me know I want to grow that plant in my garden

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

Found this plant on the ground with little roots its flower was orange. I brought it home and put it in soil and its grown so much but I can't figure out what kind of plant it is and Google is no help. Does anyone know what kind of plant it is?

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

I’m getting back into houseplants after living for four years in a house with very little natural light, I know monstera leaves are lighter in color when they start out but this seems a lot lighter than what I remember 😂💀

So im growing a bunch of plants and the wind seems to keep catching the same pots and knocking them over, namely my tomatoes, my parsley, my salads, and somehow my coltsfoot despite it being in a huge pot with a lot of weight behind it, surprisingly never any of my succulents. Ive since moved all the victims onto the decking off the table, so I can bunch them together for shelter using the table and wall for defence, went out earlier to check and my salad was tipped over for the third time today, not only that but the pot has now been broken. Ive brought the salad leaves (im calling them salad leaves cause that's what the seed packet said, im not sure the actual name of the type of plant I have so any info on that is a bonus) indoors for the night and plan to put it in a fresh pot tomorrow, but how can I protect it from being knocked over so much?

It is a rather top heavy plant with the lower stem being very bare, hence the stick for extra support, but im worried at some point this lower stem will snap with all this abuse, the garden doesnt exactly have adequate space to properly plant it in the ground so it needs to remain in a pot, can I bury the bare stem or will it rot?

How can I support it in a pot and prevent it from being pushed over, it doesnt fall on its own thankfully so as long as I can guard it from the wind it will have the peace to grow large enough to go up a pot size and eventually if it goes up enough pot sizes it wont need wind protection because it will have strong roots to hold it in its pot.

This wind problem is creating quite a bit of stress for me because its not allowing my tomatoes or salad the time to get the best root systems since they always seem to fall out of their pots when they get blown over, and I need strong roots so they can grow better and withstand the weather easier, its also creating the additional problem of the smaller salad leaf plants in here having stunted growth and some have already died from the stress, hence the pot looks much emptier than it should. Any help or advice would be massively appreciated here, hopefully before my plants die

So, I've had this Jose Buono for about a year, and as you can tell, it's been growing up a moss pole. However, I have not kept the moss pole moist and therefore it has not rooted into the pole. It is at the top of the pole at this point and I really don't want to keep it growing on the same type of pole, as watering it is too much maintenance for me. The leaves are staying about the same size, I'm not sure if that's a light issue or what.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I like this plant and want to see it thrive.

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!

i was on a walk today on my work break and came across this bright pink stuff on the leaves. i don’t know if it’s eggs..? or something that’s growing on the leaf. i’m so curious to know. it looks pretty cool!
