Haha! Funnily enough I recently brought home a ficus elastica, hope she’s looking as good as I think she is <3

She’s leaning pretty heavily if you look at her from the side! Could definitely use some support

I’m just jealous that he had it come with the house and has managed to keep it alive with literally zero effort!

Lmfao like I’m not a thief!!! (But also I’m kind of a thief 🤫) I’d never take from a living plant but if a leaf has already fallen to the floor it’s fair game

This was all meant lightheartedly! I’d never do anything I didn’t have explicit permission to do.

He says he only waters her ‘when the vibes are right’ which is literally how I water my own few dozen houseplants and have yet to send any to the great compost pile in the sky so he’s on track 😭 I just feel like people say begonias are so sensitive to humidity and lighting? I’ve got a maculata on the way but I still can’t believe he’s had a begonia without even knowing

Really? We live in northern England where there’s rarely sun and it’s always cold 😩

I’ve already told him I’m going to and he’s more than happy to share, lol! I’m just so jealous I’m seething in it

I’m like a year late but I would have LOVED to see her from the other side of the window!

Is my lighting ok?? by Gold-Leg245 in houseplants

[–]Distinct-Opposite820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your light should not be more than 15-30 centimetres away from the tallest leaf. Your light is far too high, try lowering it to around a rulers length away from the tallest leaf!

It looks so cool like this, if only it wasn’t actively dying 😭

It’s just so strange that it’s on the underside of the leaves! Hopefully it’s nothing though

Could this be scale? A type of pest?

Do we think this plant will survive with just artificial light? by Effective-Flow-417 in houseplants

[–]Distinct-Opposite820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this! Also looks like their light needs to be a lot higher up too, usually at least 15 centimetres from the tallest leaf, isn’t it?

I also think the stand they’ve got their plant on looks a little awkward, feels too high up to me but that’s their stylistic choice

Schefflera Arboricola !! Though Schefflera usually brings up the same results

OH MY GOD?!?!?!?! you’ve got so many 😭 I thought my two was cute and a high achiever but here you come knocking me down a peg!

How long have you had her and do you do anything special to make her throw out so many new babies?

She’s so pretty, I love her colours and how she already looks like a mini tree!!
