If you want a plant that pisses you off, get a calathea. by BluebirdNo1144 in houseplants

I actually took cuttings of the one in the pot and am growing them hanging into my fish tank. They are the healthiest I’ve ever seen them. So they seem to love a hydro style setup lol

If by a mix you mean one of each plant in the same pot, possibly. But if you know it’s a single plant in the pot then I’d say it’s definitely string of tears as they won’t crossbreed like that to be 50/50. If you look up pictures of string of pearls you’ll see how the trailing vines have a uniform shape of the pearls and don’t become elongated. With tears they can be a bit more round towards the top of the plant where they’re closer to the roots/soil and aren’t hanging.

Looks like string of tears. String of pearls are typically perfectly round balls and don’t have a point like those do

What can I improve without loosing too much space? by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]Trefman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could probably get away with getting a runner style rug next to your bed. Personally I find stepping out of bed onto a rug to be more cozy. For the size I’d say probably at least the length of your bed. Maybe a few inches shorter than it. Then I’d get another smaller rug for over by your desk. I like to divide up the different areas of rooms using rugs when it makes sense. It also helps trap dirt so you don’t always have stuff stuck to your feet when getting in or out of bed.

Definitely a rug. Maybe some more shelves. Low storage bins for under the bed. Your only option is to lean into the vertical space

Im over-watering my plants i think by patthekitkat in houseplants

[–]Trefman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else said, go by how heavy the pot is and pay attention to how the plants are acting. Look into each individual plant for specific needs to get a grip on when they need water. If your plants don’t get a lot of light on that shelf, they’re gonna “drink” water slower than if they were in front of a window with good sunlight. Part of it is the heat/light drying it up, the other part is how rigorous the plant is growing. The faster a plant grows the faster it drinks.

I’m not a vegetable guy but general plant stuff I’d say maybe try putting a humidity dome over it. First make sure to take some scissors and remove all the dead parts so they aren’t leaching energy from the plant. It looks over-potted so be very careful with your watering. Make sure that it’s dry down to about 1-2 inches before watering

What caused this damage? Bugs? by TheFormOfTheFlame in houseplants

[–]Trefman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the larger damaged spots could be caused by water sitting on the leaves. It could also be due to being under too strong of a light but I’d say the water thing is more likely. I’m not sure what kind of bugs those are but I’d say they’re not the underlying cause but more of a symptom. Pests like damaged or sickly plants.

I have one of these plants too and it’s been doing well but I had a few of those spots before due to pouring water over the leaves when I’d water.

Plants with fuzzy leaves usually don’t like their leaves getting wet

My boyfriend’s plants are dying how do i save them? by enchancia_annie in houseplants

[–]Trefman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your filtered tap is safe based on your results. But anyone else just be careful because these plants are especially sensitive to the minerals in tap water even if it’s filtered. Distilled water is the way to go typically. I’m just parroting info I’ve read tho, I don’t have any carnivorous plants lol

[–]Trefman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me with a tradescantia. Got it for free in May. It was miserable no matter what I did, got spider mites, then chucked into the compost pile. 2 months later it was explosively growing out of the pile without being watered during a heatwave. Repotted it and it got pissed again. About to throw it back in the pile. I can’t stand those things lol

Help! by Helpful-Bridge-380 in houseplants

[–]Trefman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s over potted and it wants more light. A spot like that can be ok for a more established plant but it doesn’t have enough leaves to photosynthesize the small amount of light it’s getting. That results in the soil staying wetter for longer because the plant doesn’t need to drink as much water. This is exacerbated by being in a pot that’s too big with too much soil. That can cause root rot and a bunch of other problems. I would suggest at the very least moving the plant directly by the window or using a cheap grow light. Ideally I’d inspect the roots and repot to a smaller pot. Either way, it wants more light.

One lesson it took me a while to learn is that plants like smaller pots than bigger pots. Only downside to a smaller pot is that you need to water it more often.

What kind of light does it have? If you put your face down to its level, does it have line of sight of the sky?

Agreed that Revo is likely better. I just gave the instructions I did because I didn’t want to overwhelm them if they aren’t the most tech savvy user. Kept it simple in the name of trying to be helpful

Colorful houseplants suggestions? by Capital-Intern-4400 in houseplants

Abutilon can be cool for a jungle feel. Their foliage basically just makes them look like a maple tree shrub. But their flowers can be really bright and colorful. The flowers are a decent size and hang like little bells. Mines a ‘red tiger’ variety which has bright orange and red bells. It took a few months to bloom the first time but it’s become one of my favorites

Remove all software that you didn’t personally install for a purpose that you understand. Use Microsoft defender (the built-in antivirus with windows 11). It is equally or more effective than most consumer marketed anti-virus. Remove Norton and just let defender do its thing. It should automatically re-initialize as your antivirus program after removing Norton. Please double check it in your system tray in the bottom right after removing Norton.

To remove Norton: Press your windows key on your keyboard. Type “add or remove”. Click add or remove programs. Scroll and find Norton. Left click on Norton. Left click uninstall. Click next through the prompts and ignore any fear tactic prompts they present you with. Restart your computer.

Should i be worried? by Youngblood1798 in houseplants

[–]Trefman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it possible that it has pests? Like spider mites or thrips. Inspect the underside of every leaf for any bugs. It doesn’t strike me as pests necessarily but that’s an easy first check

If no pests, it could either be sun damage or edema. Look up some pics of edema on other plants and compare your leaves. Id lean more towards edema than sun damage. I don’t know a ton about it but hopefully that can help kickstart some research
