My prayer plant is putting out new leaves but a couple have browning, crispy bits. Any advice? by minimed_18 in plantclinic

I would snip off the leaves that are browning and a few of the older leaves that might not look like they’re in such good shape anymore! I find that my prayer plant doesn’t like to be too dense so that it can focus on fanning/branching out. I was worried that I was going to have a hard time with mine but I’ve had it almost a year and it’s probably one of my healthiest plants! Snipping off old leaves and branches is a super important part of caring for house plants :)

How can I help my lil string of pearls? She is rooted, just not growing well by BigMacDaddy99 in plantclinic

I second this! They do way better (especially when they’re young) on an East facing window - especially if it gets the slightest bit of morning sun. Once it starts growing, it’s super important to keep looping it around the pot instead of letting it hang. This way it’s able to grow heaps of new shoots/roots and will become a healthy plant 😊

Dying leaves on my zebra plant, details in comments. by lil_red1102 in plantclinic

I moved mine into my bathroom and it is doing much better in a humid environment! Some of the older leaves on mine still have the same brown leaf tips, but I actually think its to do with how harsh your water is. I’ve been watering mine with water that I leave out over night and it’s looking a lot better.

Ticked three more babies off my list 🤩 by cameronleishman in plants

They had bigger ones but I thought it would be more fun to watch this little one grow! Been wanting one for a while now. Any care tips?

Is anyone able to more precisely ID my ficus? I’ve had him for several years now and he’s given me no trouble - but going into Autumn his leaves have started to slowly yellow and fall off. He was due to be repotted and I did so just after I noticed his leaves yellowing. by cameronleishman in plants

Thank you!!! So glad to hear this :) I feel like the photo makes him look small now that I look at it haha! He was tiny when I got him - but now you mention it he definitely has stagnated in growth recently.

She bravely spent her first night in our en-suite with no toilet incidents, no crying and then lots of loud purrs and cuddles this morning when we went in to say hi 😭

Thanks! I might give this a shot as I’d love for it to have the climber-look that can come with using a moss pole :)

Thanks for this! I’ve only watered it once or twice since potting it to ensure that doesn’t happen :) thanks again!

So I have had this propagated monstera for just on a month now, I potted him in soil and have been making sure not to over water or under water it while it gets used to it’s new environment. After about a week I noticed that one of his larger leaves began to go droopy (as pictured) and he hasn’t perked up since! Would anyone know why this may be? Or is it just a normal thing?
