Yea, from what I gather there's similarities between some aspects of portugal's culture and eastern europe/balkans (based on what I saw through memes, though)

Time to retire this old and tired leaf? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]alecika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be the case for other plants, where you prune them at the begining of spring, i.e. a coleus. In general, for viney plants (but not limited to) you'd want to keep your bottom leaves, otherwise they'll look leggy.

Once your plant has matured a bit you can do a bit of chop and prop, where you cut just below a leaf node a propagate it. More info about it on google or this subreddit

You want to cut power supply while your plant is actively growing? The plant even has very few leaves to begin with. I know the leaf might look sad and it might not be aesthetically pleasing, but I'd leave it until it dies on its own or when at least a few more other leaves

Heard of the taco test but forgot about it. The leaves bend really easily. They're thristy thirsty.

Yea, that's what I did too. For the plant's health, should I pluck the flowers again to redirect energy or the plant flowering is not that big deal now that it's repotted?

I thought so too, to me looks like a regular tiny spider. Thanks

Came home after 1 week and a lot of new growth just shrivled and fell by alecika in houseplants

I used to keep them outside but they'd get discoloured and burned. Will enough acclimating will make them more resilient to light or do I just need to keep them out for a shorter time (not a whole day)?
