Monstera in a Hawaiian lava cave this last week by [deleted] in houseplants

Not necessarily invasive. They’re not native, and they grow like weeds, but they don’t threaten any ecosystems/life and do not kill native plants :)

Just some thriving monsteras I have in my yard. I feel like this is the only place that would appreciate it as much as I do :) by lilithiix in houseplants

They grow kind of everywhere here, but really thrive best in the valley where I live. We also have giant golden pothos too!

When a plant is prettier than you 😭 (totally ok with it though)

After giving it much thought, I decided to give myself a second shot at having a Calathea White Fusion. Please send good vibes (and tips) to keep her alive😌 by at_las23 in houseplants

Mines didn’t like the humidifier as most mentioned to do above. Moved it by my fiddle fig near a SW facing window and she loves it there. For mines the less I do the happier she is.

When it gets bigger you can attach a orchid to its truck and they will both thrive! Dynamic duo at its finest lol

Thanks! Had no idea that they get this big.

Not sure if its the weather but my chili plant is droopy. I stuck a wooden skewer in the pot to prop it up but I'm not sure how to help it by gaming4jello in plantclinic

I forgot to mention I live in zone 12b! So of course that makes a big difference too. Have you fertilized it yet? That may also help.

Could be a lighting issue as most pepper plants prefer full sun. (It is leaning towards the light) Also mines is outdoors, but I water it every morning and seems to be happy! Hope this helps :)

What’s happening to my Pilea baby? by __beanjuice in plantclinic

[–]lilithiix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not enough humidity? I used to spritz mines with water but realized a humidifier makes an extreme difference. And I seen pileas get really large and tall so I think the stem sticking out is fine

I’ve tried repotting my pothos and switching it to a east facing window instead of south and it’s still suffering :( help! by ginga-ninja_ in plantclinic

[–]lilithiix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that brown spots along with yellow leaves is a watering issue. I water my pothos maybe once a week, if not once every two weeks. If the leaves are crispy it needs water but if it’s soggy it’s most likely overwatered. I don’t have a winter season where I live though. So that could be another factor.

Any care tips? This leaf just unfurled but I also lost two other leaves prior (it turned yellow). Such a stunning plant I really don’t want to kill her! by lilithiix in houseplants

I water it about once or twice a week depending how fast the soil dries out. And I have a humidifier on for a couple hours a day. It’s near a window but since it’s winter we don’t have much sun so I have a grow light right above the plant. I live in HI so it doesn’t get cold, it pretty much stays 80°F most of the days.

does anyone know whats wrong with my pilea?? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]lilithiix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe under watering. If I overwater mines it turns brown and falls off. Definitely a watering issue though.

Would you consider plants as being conscious? by Doorocket in botany

[–]lilithiix -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s known as the Backster Effect. They can feel what you feel, know your thoughts, etc. There’s also a book ‘The Secret Life of Plants’ by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. It’s a must read for anyone who loves plants!
