Should I be worried? I was away for 3 days and this thing grew in the soil of my Monstera. Google told me it's a Shaggy Inc Cap Mushroom, but I'm unsure. How would that get in there? I repotted the Monstera back in March with fresh soil from the hardware store.

Any idea what this is? Many leaves are dying on the plant, wondering if there is a way to save it. I have forgotten the name of the plant, but will update when I find it.

Edit Ctenanthe Lubbersiana - thanks @squeezeyerbawdy

Anybody know what creepy crawlies is in my attar of roses pelargonium? Had them a few weeks ago, sprayed with soapy water. They died. This morning they were back. The plant is just a tiny little baby, I'm worried it's something that'll kill the plant.

Update: Thanks everyone! I've done a good round of Google -ing now on springtails. Definitely looks like the case . The plant doesn't seem to mind, but I'll keep in mind not to overwater the little baby . Thank you for your advise!

I was helping a friend move and she said she was having no luck with this plant. She said it barely stays alive and never really does well. She said it might be a hibiscus.

Seek thinks that is a possibility too.

I saved a few other plants recently, hopefully I can save this one too.

I have a dreamcatcher which I thought had a dying leaf or something, but it looks like this could be something like seeds!? There is a second pod which isn't open to the left in the picture.

I don't really know what it is but I'm excited about it. My other aglaonema hasn't grown at all in 2 years!

Rescued some half dead roses from a sale rack last year and they've exploded with a little tlc. 🥰

We are having a pumpking growing competition at work and I live in an apartment, so I'm working with what I have 😆

The plant already produced many male flowers. From what I have read, the male flowers usually come out 10 - 14 days before the female flowers. They open up for a single day and then they close and fall off.

I found out that tey are edible, so I stuffed a few of them with some left overs as a culinary experiment.

And the first female flower has arrived!

I just received what I thought was going to be a tiny cute air plant for this tiny cute container I bought. What I received instead is this massive, glorious, curly plant that is 1.5 feet tall. While I'm trying to figure out what to do with it, I've researched and vowed to take care of this super cool air plant that is already growing purple blooms. I'm wondering if there's a specific air plant community or like, something adjacent to that? I'd really rather not get back on reddit to learn about air plants and connect with other air plant people. What are some cool communities I might be missing out on?

Cheers!

I am having a heck of a time trying to research why she is the way she is and what to do about it. She’s definitely alive. I harvested a lot of little baby seedlings in her roots (which are growing beautifully btw). I’d love if someone can help me understand why she is the way she is and what I can do to promote stem and leaf growth.

Has anyone had any success in growing a SourSop plant outside of the tropics? I'm In the NE United States and I'm going to try.

Post pics if you got em! I think mine is my dioscorea elephantipes (at least right now, it changes often). Grown from a seed, she'll be a year old in July :)

I gave away my only big plant, an 8-foot-tall bird of paradise. The rest needed repotting anyway, so I took them all out of their pots and buried the roots in a roughly 50/50 mixture of moist potting soil and perlite in a plastic crate.

I had a Philodendron micans on a tall moss pole. I took it off the moss pole, wrapped the roots in a damp paper towel, stuffed that portion into a Ziploc bag, and stuffed the whole thing into a clear plastic bag, loosely sealed.

I did the same thing to a Madagascar jasmine plant that had been vining around a bamboo arch.

Finally, I placed some smaller plants in a smaller plastic container with moist perlite.

Sadly, I had to give all my pots away. There just wasn't enough room or time to carefully pack everything. We were already a half day late getting underway with our road trip.

I'm thankful they seem to have all survived.

Not an ad or anything but I got it from light.bio if you're curious. Super cool product, I've been waiting for a company to successfully bring a bioluminescent plant to the market for a decade and it finally happened!

Hello, so my daughter picked out this Dahlia on Sunday, and we've planted it last night, and we came home today seeing this.

What is going on? Is there a fix? Thank you for your time.
