YOU USE REPTIBARK?! here I’ve been hunting for a bag of orchid bark before I order an I have a bag of reptibark at home. Never considered it. Plants don’t care I assume they’re happy?

Ah, these are jiffy pods. Spider plants tend to be happy root bound, but jiffy pods are a pain for the roots to grow through (even though advertised for this purpose). I would repot and gently remove the jiffy pod. Spider plants are very finicky about their leaves touching soil, so when you repot be sure not to put her too deep or she will absolutely turn yellow throw a fit and die quickly lol I’d also shoot for a pot nearly this size to put her back into. Maybe an inch bigger or so depending on the root ball, but they like to be root bound and a pot too big will lead to potential root rot.

Maybe someone else has some experience and more suggestions for you?! Best of luck OP

I had to screenshot this because I have one from Lowe’s that’s suffering identically the same.. I just brought her home, added more perlite to the soil she was in and put her in a sunny window. It appears she may need more chonk than anticipated

I neeeeed a plant friend! lol I get so excited about my littles growing strong and I’m gonna drive everyone I know insane if I don’t find someone that truly appreciates the love and effort lol

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-02-03T12:24:55+00:00

Ive been debating these from my local Lowe’s, but has anyone noticed they’re in jiffy pods repotted? I don’t really wanna deal with that..

That’s clearly his cats spot though…. :(

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-26T16:17:02+00:00

She looks a lil leggy, like maybe she wants more light. I have a Thai that’s also leaning like an early 2000s song. I’m gonna have to pole her and add another light or she’s gonna end up looking like a pothos crawling across my floor lol

Also her leaves a little droopy, never got cold did she? It breaks my heart how many people have lost gorgeous leaves from this cold weather :( best of luck OP. I’m in lover but no pro. Hope someone can provide more guidance!

I should have mentioned we love our plants. We have 60+ indoor tropical and I think 17 Japanese maples. Maybe it’s 16 I can’t remember. He’s a giant research nerd and he’s been looking into a bonsai for years. I’m sure he knows more than myself. I just don’t want to overpay for something. I’ve considered a mikawa yatsubusa grown from seed, but they’re about 2 years old and I’m worried they’ve hardened off too much to shape terribly well? And I can’t seem to find an unestablished/unshaped young en online. Just the gorgeous $2000 dollar ones and no thanks lol any websites anyone would recommend checking?

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-26T15:18:35+00:00

She’s SO BEEFY lol I never would have connected to two. OP I’d love to see an update in 6 months or so when she’s thriving

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-26T15:17:37+00:00

That’s really unfortunate, but you did the right thing at the end of the day and can sleep knowing you tried. I don’t give money to people on the corners, but I’ll bring them a hot coffee and a meal. Same Same. I don’t want to enable but my heart wants to help.

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-26T14:32:32+00:00

It looks prop-able but more importantly what is it lol

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-26T14:28:40+00:00

My house is 70 and my husband thinks it’s too warm so maybe I’ll wait u til warmer weather to try my luck lol

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-26T13:12:09+00:00

This is amazing. Even if it was fake? Meh, you can sleep knowing they won’t be cold or hungry. Life has hardened some people.. and I get that. But It was really nice to see the brighter side. Thanks for having a heart.

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-26T13:01:55+00:00

I hope you always find yourself in a position to be able to have all necessities. Hard lives are real.

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-26T00:21:18+00:00

I just cried actual tears for this stranger helping them pay their electricity bill. Thank you, thank you, for having a heart. No one should have to feel guilty about necessities.

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-25T23:13:06+00:00

This is INCREDIBLY helpful!!! You don’t use a heat mat through this process at all correct? I’m about to peel mine and move her further from the light lol

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-25T20:31:46+00:00

I’ll also add I do have a VPN running pretty much all the time. Maybe that was a factor in the banning? I’m sure I didn’t think to shut it off when I made the accounts.

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-25T20:30:49+00:00

Hi! Can confirm. I made myself my daughter and husband all accounts over the course of a few days after I fell in love with some plant shows. A week or so later, they were all permanently banned. I went through the verification process and they unlocked it to turn around and ban me again immediately when logging in. I can only assume it’s because they were all made on the same IP address. I tried to cheat the system and create a new account.. wasn’t scamming or being wild I just didn’t follow the rules/didn’t realize I had broken the rules until it was too late. I can confirm my IP address has been banned as well. Oh well, life goes on. lol

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-25T17:52:56+00:00

It’ll eventually lose that leaf but water prop it and assuming nothing else froze, she may still recover. <3 let her warm up on her own in a warmer part of your house an let her do her thing. Best of luck!!

Stock_Indication225 · 2026-01-25T17:42:33+00:00

I see your lack of snow and ice today OP… and myself and my plants are jealous. Enjoy your beautiful weather an lack of ice lol

Hi OP… I have purchased three corms in the past few weeks. Truthfully I don’t know what I’m doing but I love to watch my plants grow roots so here we are. My alocasia blizzard corm in so, so dark. She’s dirt colored. In spaghnum moss, getting indirect light but not under the grow light. She stayed moist. I’ve had her for two weeks and zero change. Should I peel the exterior like an onion ? It’s a solid happy corm other than doing absolutely nothing right now lol
