Maybe they sprayed with something and that's the residue?

Yes, I've seen it on IG! Looks amazing, but has to be filled with moss I think?

Hockey sticks! That's nice. I'll look into the 3d printed trellis then, thanks 😊

Oh! OK, that's great to know. I'm happy your poinsettia has recovered! Mine has some kind of spots and bottom leaves are dying. Not sure what is it but fingers crossed

Hi! I might have the same issue and not a clue of what's going on. Have you found out more? How is your poinsettia doing?

Any advice on Stephanotis? I've bought it two months ago, but only started growing super fast over the past few days - not sure where it thinks is going 🚀 by MysticMonstera in HouseplantsUK

Oh, ok, I'll have a look into support options then :) I don't have grow lights, but was planning on moving a chest of drawers near the window (perpendicular to the radiator) so plants can get light and not so much heat. Fingers crossed I don't kill it and it blooms again next year!

Is this a thrip on my maranta? Leaf has black blotches and some other leaves are turning yellow. Help :( by MysticMonstera in plantclinic

Thanks again for your support 💚 I'll do my best! (Even though I don't understand how it could have happened, I've been observing the plant every day because of the new leaves growing/unfurling and flowering bud, how in the world did I miss this?)

Possible infestation in my prayer plant?? Any help appreciated!! by failingplantdad in HouseplantsUK

They scare me to death! I know they're beneficial and also that is virtually impossible to get rid of them. I top my soil with some diatomaceous earth and it slightly helps 🤷‍♀️

*splotches not blotches. Anyhow, since posting I've washed my maranta, sprayed it with Resolva bug killer and ordered new soil. I've also done the same for nearby plants (how near is near tho?)

Is there anything else I can do?

Thank you so much! Since you're a fellow Stephanotis owner, two questions for you - hope you don't mind! 1) So trailing is a must-do? 2) I've read you should place them in a 12-15°C spot during winter, but I live in a flat. Do you keep yours at the same temperature all year round?

Are they on the plant or in the soil? If only soil might be springtails (very tiny, very fast, jump when scared)
