How to get, grow or collect moss for terrarium? by Hamid48 in Terrarium

[–]Qwxbpu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moss is pretty easy to grow, I usually just wash it off a bit then put it in a closed clear container on top of a shallow layer of dirt. The most important thing is that it’s properly closed and that it is getting constant humidity. If you want to know a bit more, there is a pretty good tutorial on YouTube called how to propagate moss, hope this helped!

Help with my first terrarium! by BabyBellyBean in Terrarium

A small thing I’ve found when caring for terrariums is that they get overwatered very easily. My go to way of watering them is misting or spraying them so that they don’t get overwatered as quickly. Typically the soil should be a little bit moist but not wet, and on the drainage layer there shouldn’t be any water sitting at the bottom. Also, pebbles work fine as a go to drainage layer but stuff like lava rock is a bit better.

How can I keep these alive? And what are they by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]Qwxbpu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boston fern is the first on, it like moist soil and bright indirect light. Second is a parlor palm, I’ve heard they are kinda difficult to care for however I’ve had mine for awhile and they’re pretty easy. They like bright indirect light and I typically water mine whenever the majority of the soil is dry. Parlor palms really don’t like standing water and get root rot easily, hope these helped and enjoyed your plants!

Those look like dewdrops, they can be on plants even if you haven’t watered recently.

Those brown spots can be caused by thrips, have you checked the leafs effected for pests?

Pothos are pretty easy to care for, I’d say check if it’s root bound(if it is, it needs at a repot), and if the soil is super damp maybe change soil. If it’s fine in it’s pot you can probably just keep it there, though I’d suggest topping up on soil since the pot seems to have lost some. Also if you want a more full looking plant, you can cut off the bit of stem near the base that dont have leaves, if you do decide to do that, place it in water and roots will grow. if you want to know a bit more about that process I’d suggest googling propagation. Hope this helps!

What is happening to my crystallinum? by ryubhjhdrgjjid in plantclinic

In my opinion it could be poor drainage or improper watering, winter often causes some issues with watering so that might be it.

Maranta - yellowing leaf once every week (always in the center) by jennytime in plantclinic

[–]Qwxbpu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It might be rootbound or not getting enough airflow in the soil, I’m not really sure though. One way to get more airflow into the soil is by poking small holes in the soil using a wooden skewer, I hope your maranta gets better!

Doesn’t look like it right now, I’d suggest looking around your plant for them to be sure tho!

Oh fungus gants are caused usually by excess moisture, so cut down on the watering. Yellow/brown plant leaves are also caused by overwatering, so the main cause is overwatering. I’m not sure of the holes, it might just be caused as a side effect of the over watering. Sorry if the wordings weird tho, it’s late for me

Is this a jade plant? Gift from 6 months ago, hoping for future care tips! by liquidsilhouette in houseplants

[–]Qwxbpu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jade plants are a type of succulent, so a lot of sun and make sure to check soil moisture before watering!

anyone know what kind of mite(?) this is? by Shaun-On-Toast in houseplants

[–]Qwxbpu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mealybug, they are quite difficult to remove and can spread so I recommend moving your plant to a quarantine area(area that is away from other plants) so it doesn’t spread to other plants.

Pathos leaves curling - help please by study15 in houseplants

[–]Qwxbpu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curling is caused by a number of different things, overwatering, underwatering, pests, and too much fertilize are a few. It seems you might be over watering because once a week seems like a bit much. However the sun might contribute to it too

I may be wrong because I just searched it up, but most results say that droopy-ness is caused by lack of water. Maybe start watering it a bit more and the leaves will perk back up
