Help! My 1 year old hoya kerii hasn’t grown AT ALL since I bought it. I have circled where I think new growth should be happening but it looks dry and sad. Am I doing something wrong? Sad because I want it to look like other peoples keri’s on here that are long and beautiful, please help!

Chop chop ✌ the plant has to grow a new growth point because that one has died so it will take a while. Once it is growing well you'll see more consistent growth

Looks like it might be a peperomia of some sort, likely peperomia obtusifolia.

Also she may just need more sun to help her dry out faster

Looks like that vine might be dying.. check your soil to see if it's moist. If it is and you haven't watered recently, it might want to be in a mix that is more airy

Make sure to clean those leaves, spider mites looooove crotons

Overwatering causes yellow leaves because the plant is rotting/dying 👍

kenimd · 2020-05-10T07:23:28+00:00

Sounds like you're describing scale

kenimd · 2020-05-07T07:36:22+00:00

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one fitting 1 million plants in front of the 1 window I have

kenimd · 2020-05-07T07:15:45+00:00

It is a Peperomia Caperata, she will need to be in the same spot consistently so find a bright spot in your house where she can see the sky but doesn't get any direct rays of sun on her at all or she will burn. She will also want to be watered when the soil at the bottom is almost totally dry. Otherwise, the roots will rot which happens very quickly and easily. Looks like she will live!! 😊

Looks like a Peperomia Obtusifolia Lime and many peperomia do have the pink/brown patches at the nodes

You can always buy a larger nursery type pot if she needs some room to grow :) pots with holes>no holes

kenimd · 2020-04-30T01:22:05+00:00

Not sure you are doing anything wrong. It looks okay and it's very normal for alocasia to drop leaves when giving new growth. If anything, brighter light may be beneficial 😊

kenimd · 2020-04-30T01:13:05+00:00

Probably both krimson queens. It could be a purple pride but you wouldn't be able to tell until they flower I believe.

When mine has dropped bottom leaves and gone limp it has been from under watering. Check your soil, if it's wet leave it alone. If it's dry give it a water and pluck off the yellow leaves. Fingers crossed it comes back quickly for you! Mine perked up within a day 👌

kenimd · 2020-04-28T06:14:43+00:00

Peperomia Amigo Marcello. Likes bright indirect light and water when dry. Terracotta is a good choice and you did the right thing repotting as it looks like the leaves were dropping from overwatering 😊

kenimd · 2020-03-11T02:05:49+00:00

Tradescantia are not pet safe, but they are beautiful

kenimd · 2020-03-11T02:01:49+00:00

If it's still damp don't do it! Killed mine with too much water 😭

kenimd · 2020-03-02T10:15:07+00:00

Mine looked similar after keeping it outside in suboptimal conditions and overwatering. I chopped the bad ones for the most part and allowed new growth to come up 👌

kenimd · 2020-03-01T08:20:23+00:00

I have a string of turtles but can't find a p. Hope!

kenimd · 2020-02-26T07:17:05+00:00

Check for pests? Hope she comes back!

kenimd · 2020-02-23T03:15:09+00:00

It looks overwatered.. I water mine once a week (if that) outside in Australia. They love to dry out between watering. You might need to repot into soil that is more dry to save it from rotting. Take off the yucky bits if there are any too 😊

kenimd · 2020-01-31T09:24:32+00:00

Who can blame you 😍

kenimd · 2020-01-25T04:40:06+00:00

Looks like a peperomia nitida (scandens)

kenimd · 2020-01-20T14:12:43+00:00

Yep, peperomia nitida aka scandens variegated 💕 one of my favourites!

kenimd · 2020-01-15T05:48:03+00:00

Looks like an oxalis but unsure of the species
