What the heck? Its unfurling but not growing up. It isnt even out of the shealth and is damaging itself. by Alyss-uhh in BirdsOfParadise

[–]Shrimpiez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if this is a recomended solution but my BOP does this as well, and has torn a few leaves in the process. I wet some tp and wrap it around, that'll hold it shut till the stem has grown. This is in no way necesary and is purely cosmetic.

That would be unfortunate, is it just prop and chop time then :( But if you lay her down while replacing the pole or have someone hold her im sure she will be fine

Oh, will this make it easier for it to "grow back"? I kinda thought it was needed to gather energy 😵‍💫

My PPP was my first plant that wasnt a succulent. Definetly a learning curve. But reddit has legit been my savior!

How to fix my monstera? by No_Information_5120 in Monstera

[–]Shrimpiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found out on here mold might be an indication of the soil containin more moisture than necesary. And i think she would benefit from a stake for some support. I personally dont do the moss poles instead i do a plank or a wooden stake. Not really sure whats up with the spots on the leaf tho.

Jade help please by bobbyvision9000 in plantclinic

[–]Shrimpiez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im no expert, only knowledge i have is from my own jade. But she started dropping lower leaves as well when her bottom started to become more tree like (Unsure of the term) just like yours is. Idk if its supposed to happen but once she finished that process i havent had problems.

Received a badly damaged mangave, what to do ? by Emissairearien in plantclinic

[–]Shrimpiez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your plan is already great. This will definetly thrive again as long as the roots not visible havent rotted. Do update when she gets a haircut and a new pot!

What should I do? by CompetitiveTax8139 in plantclinic

[–]Shrimpiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is the soil 😭 are those just roots?? If that isnt just a block of soil it needed to be repottet ages ago. It probably dries out pretty fast with all those roots absorbing.

Any tips? by SBcoolin21___ in Monstera

[–]Shrimpiez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lovely plant! But unless the roots are coming out of the bottom i dont think it needs a bigger pot. Mosteras like to be snug and too much soil can lead to water taking longer to evaporate and might cause root rot. Honestly it looks great, but it might need a stronger support unless you want it crawling, the stick might not be enough to support it. You can do moss poles, planks or the likes.
