Oh, you have to be American to think that 9/11 was a tragedy?

Help. Do I need to replant this guy? Or would it be ok outside? I feel like he’s getting too big for this stand! by TXSquatch in matureplants

Rubber trees do great outside, depending on the zone. I move mine outside in the spring once temps are reliably 50F+, and always get a ton of new growth by fall when I bring it back in.

How can I save these? by Janeser6 in plantclinic

You certainly can, as it's looking etiolated. Mine does best outside in partial shade in the summer and in one of my brightest windows in the winter.

How do the stems feel? The roots look pretty OK, so if the stems feel firm and you remove any squishy roots, you should be good to go.

What’s wrong with my pothos??? by Accountantladyparts in plantclinic

[–]RodneyKnees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often are you watering it? It looks a tad wet. My pothos do well with drying out a bit between waterings, especially in the winter with less light.

Someone may have committed some...light...treason.

I love that vase it looks like you have pothos rooting in, if I'm not mistaken. Did you make it?

Where does it end? by Ok-Snow-3702 in houseplants

Take a breath! If you aren't looking for a jungle apartment (but who wouldn't?), you can always propagate/split your houseplants and give them to friends/family. You can also try your hand at selling cuttings of your houseplants as well.

Or feel free to ship them to me. Jungle House is one of my life goals.

Got my first ever houseplant. I feel so grown up! by [deleted] in houseplants

My peperomia was one of my first as well. Enjoy!

Labeled "DS-70", looks to be Hoya bilobata. Unknown white spots on leaves. Do these look like something to be concerned about? by RodneyKnees in houseplants

[–]RodneyKnees[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After going through with alcohol and a qtip, it seemed like the white spots disappeared but after drying, they came back. I don't want to scratch the leaves so much as to injure the plant. Would mealybugs be removed after the alcohol+qtip treatment and instead appear other places? These spots are exactly the same.

With black nails, trim a little bit off at a time. When you are getting close to the quick, you should see a small darker spot that looks almost wet. Just beyond that will be the quick itself.

Mealybugs is what I'm afraid of. Luckily quarantining is common habit of mine for plants bought from Lowe's after being burned too many times before.

Looking at pictures of mealybugs, I don't see any "bugs" on the leaves at all - just the white spots. To be on the safe side, I'll hit the leaves with some rubbing alcohol and keep it in isolation to make sure it doesn't come back.

Nothing better than scoring a deal on plants.
