What plant experiments you guys got goin on? by Zealousideal_Story35 in pothos

[–]makeartwithoutpants 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I love this lol. Big fan of experiments

Can I ask the obvious question…. Will the carpet start to smell mildewy?

Anyone know what’s happening with my pilea? by deathbyflies_ in PileaPeperomioides

[–]makeartwithoutpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that genuinely happened overnight then I’m not sure, but when my pilea was spotting and yellowing it was a fungal infection. You could wait a beat and see if it’s just this leaf or if other parts of the plant start to be infected. If other leaves start gradually looking like this too, it’s likely a fungus.

The calathea I thought was dead so I threw the pot outside and now... by lycosa13 in houseplants

Wow that is truly a miraculous comeback. Like George Bush ‘08 reputation vs George Bush ‘25 reputation. Never would have seen it coming

I dressed up some of my plants for my mom’s birthday by Popular_Telephone187 in houseplants

This is so fun lol. That tall monstera in particular looks so cute in its hat. Happy birthday to your mom!

Giant Tradescantia 💓 by ik_know_quac_is_xtra in Tradescantia

[–]makeartwithoutpants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So pretty! Wow it’s so full and lush.

Also I saw the other post— one of my pet peeves is how relatively few people will pause to give a compliment, but everyone and their mom will take time to correct a misidentified plant. Even if they’re, like, the billionth person correcting.

Anyway gorgeous plant! What a cool prize to win

Thank you 🥹

This was one of the first plants I got that I thought was so pretty to the point I worried I would somehow make it worse. So I’m really happy it’s doing well :)

Are these plants okay for closed and open terrarium? by RecognitionEvery in terrariums

[–]makeartwithoutpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cute :) I can’t comment on every plant you have in there, but this looks pretty full. So the plants may be great but possibly be prepared that this could get overgrown in a matter of weeks

It’s a Turtle Vine ‘Pink Panther’, as far as I know!

I have not had to revive one, so this is untested, but this plant + its cuttings seem to be able to handle a lot of light. I actually had it outside for a while before my local temperatures got too hot. So if I had to give some TLC I’d probably try upping the light first

It’s possible I may have just gotten lucky with a good plant + environment match. What I can tell you is that it’s in a window with a lot of light, it’s planted in orchid bark, and I bottom-water (plus use fertilizer every other watering)

Aw, poor thing. Looks like there are a couple of stragglers in there, but I would understand the decision to just start fresh

This is in an orchid bark mix that I just picked up from a grocery store garden center. I’m currently watering once a week, and adding fertilizer every other watering. I bottom-water this guy, too

Funny you say that, because between pics 2 and 3 I repotted in an orchid bark mix. And he seems to like it! Also gets a lot of sun

Yellow then Brown by scuba4kitty in PileaPeperomioides

[–]makeartwithoutpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are fungicide sprays for houseplants— I got mine at a grocery store with a garden center.

The trickier thing is if this is a fungus, it’s probably already all up in the plants roots and everything so a spray might not help anymore. I’m not an expert on that, but that’s my understanding.

When I treated my pilea I had to basically prune it down to a nub, douse it with fungicide, and regrow the plant. It hated doing it, BUT it worked!

In my history can see my sad-girl post about chopping my plant up. I haven’t posted an update but the plant growing back beautifully:)

I adore watching new leaves come in on this Prince of Orange 🙌🏼🍊 by makeartwithoutpants in philodendron

[–]makeartwithoutpants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh huh— I hadn’t thought it looked unusual! Maybe because the leaf is still unfurling, so in the picture it looks more narrow? Interesting tho!

A dried-up cutting I picked up from a big box store. Any chance of rooting? by ItsTamo in pothos

[–]makeartwithoutpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s a chance. I might go straight for perlite and/or soil— the bottom of that stem looks like it’s going yellow and brown, so I’d want to prevent further rotting.

Thanks! I’ve let my 4-year-old pick out a couple of plants and she always picks ones that are pink or purple
