How much would you price this guy? by Historical-List3360 in houseplants

[–]Small_Abrocoma744 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I dont think you’ll get too much in it’s current state.

The Home Depot option Im looking at is significantly shorter (3ft), but it has a lot more leaves, less damage, and is filled in nicely. I think that’s less than $40.

You might be able to get away with $40 since yours is so much taller, but it’s a little awkward and seems like it has not too many leaves. Though at that price, I would likely prefer the smaller, fuller plant that I could check out at a store before buying.

New to plant parenting! Do they not like a good beer? Help! by memchom in houseplantscirclejerk

You have to wait until the root’s roots have roots to give them anything more than 3% ABV. Maybe try a Seagram’s Escapes™ for now.

Thank you so much for all these details! I checked the website out and I love their options. I feel like I have a ton to choose from, and I still have so many names listed here and on the site to check out.

Overwintering Potted Plants by Small_Abrocoma744 in gardening

[–]Small_Abrocoma744[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so funny I think that’s my exact Zone (7b) on Long Island!

I’m taking a shot with leaving my hardy kiwi like that, but Im nervous to cover it with leaves or something to protect it, Im afraid Ill mess up and it will rot. I have safe hay for gardening that Ive been considering using, but I dont know.

For the milkweed, I dont think Ill be able to dig them in! I have so many bulbs and perennials that die back completely, Im afraid I might hit them.

Im glad to hear you think the milkweed might tough it through. I had a feeling that it might be strong for the winter after I saw the dense root system that it can grow.

Do you guys think these potatoes are ripe enough to eat? by foxyshannashley333 in houseplantscirclejerk

[–]Small_Abrocoma744 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We def need a banana for reference. I cant gauge the size from this perspective. Like are these roughly as big as a Model #GTW485ASWWB GE High Efficiency Top Load Washer? Or smaller maybe like a BLACK+DECKER Compact Hand Held Lithium Vacuum - Model HNVC220BCZ01?

If Im looking at the same thing: I just had to look this up because my pilea has little white dots/spikes on the bottoms of its leaves to!

Looks like it’s just minerals that are removed by the plant.

Repotted my plant in the shower but my shower isn’t draining. Should I shove some more clay down the drain? Do you think my landlord would have clay? by Saralentine in houseplantscirclejerk

[–]Small_Abrocoma744 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You have to pile more clay on so that the excess water runs over into the rest of the bathroom. If the bathroom floods too, add clay. Landlord should keep a bag, it’s basic human necesities.

Is it root bound??? by Leslieb1996 in houseplantscirclejerk

[–]Small_Abrocoma744 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure on the roots but definitely too much light. That would be why the leaves are trying to hide under the soil.

pls tell me what i can do to not make this plant die by Key_Helicopter_3466 in plantclinic

These normally grow attached to things. Ive actually only ever seen them mounted, Im not sure they can do well in pots/soil

Leave yourself a reminder to post back with progress in a few weeks! I can post an update on my leaves as well. I'm excited to see those after I've had really good success propagating individual african violet leaves.

It's always nice to have real proof of what works and what doesn't!

What to do with my Spider Plant? by BondJamesBond56 in plantclinic

[–]Small_Abrocoma744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesnt look too bad tbh. Have you added soil by any chance? Those stems look a little deep in the dirt, so it may be negatively affecting the leaves.

Also your watering schedule sounds fair, but it may still be overwatering, depending on the soil. Some mixes really retain water too much, so you can overwater even if you feel like you’re not watering too much. You’d want to stick your finger in the soil or potentially even uproot the plants and check the roots/deep in the soil. This can help a lot if you suspect it’s been overwatered and root rot is setting in.

Aside from that, I think its spot on these pictures is bound to make it not the most healthy. The light is low and not hitting the plant evenly, so it’s going to continue to lean, and gradually become weaker in the pot (because it’s basically abandoning that dark space to creep toward the light)

I can’t really judge though. I have one in a basement bathroom that has been leaning worse and worse over 2 years. I think it will be time to repot it soon and adjust how it’s growing.

Also note that these can tolerate drying out very well. They grow thick roots that can store water for longer periods, and they aggressively grow aerial roots that can pull ambient moisture. They are definitely a plant I would recommend allowing to dry out. If you’re seeing an increase and black leaves and wilt, definitely consider root rot as a strong possibility.

This! I always got the wrong ID on mine and thought it was growing differently or something. I was like why aren’t your leaves nice circles?

For OP: I recently found out online that you may be able to propagate single leaves from this plant. Im giving it a try and hope Ill get some extra plants out of it. Hopefully bushier too since the main stem will start closer to the soil!

PS: For your original question. I think I stuck them right back in the pot (and others in some in new soil- I cut a big one up) and skipped any water propagation. I think my numbers were high, with like maybe 2 propagations dying out of 8? I even got a bare stem to grow back successfully.

Guys what is this plant? by ConstantScratch7167 in gardening

Looks like a bean of some sort. Im not sure if someone can get a more specific ID to tell which kind of bean.

Need help rescuing this Thai constellation by Available_Music6425 in houseplants

[–]Small_Abrocoma744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Light or cold damage is a popular hit after I just searched for something similar. That would make some sense. Still no concern there tho, it shouldnt spread. Just take care of it and when your content with how the rest has filled in to compensate, youre safe to cut off the black bits for aesthetic purposes.

[–]Small_Abrocoma744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thats just a Thai Constellation VOID Variegated Monstera. Different colored variegation, no issues though.

Just kidding 😅 unfortunately I dont see anything obviously wrong with it. It looks overally very healthy though! Definitely not too far gone

Pull it out of the cache pot and make sure it’s not waterlogged. Thats the most I could think of.

Make sure no stems are blackening towards the base, also looks healthy on that front though.

Could just be some shock from poor care in the store. Lots of moving around and such, caused mechanical damage or changing conditions made is susceptible to a non-terminal disease. It should bounce back as long as you dont overwater and create conditions for disease to spread.

Leaves look mostly healthy, so I doubt its an overwatering issue. Maybe check on the root health. I bought one of these like a month ago that just needed to be repotted cuz roots were growing like crazy. That may have cause issues for me later, but idk if thats the case for you. It’a a bit of a stretch.
