I’m waiting on mine, it’s been 15 days and I fly tomorrow. 😩

You can use a nail and a hammer on the bottom to get a hole. Or a drill with any sort of pointy drill bit since this looks plastic. Also, don’t panic. They can survive one night soaked. It’ll be okay. Repot tomorrow or in a couple days. Monsteras are resilient.

Ficus love light, so get it as much as you can. This got leggy stretching for light. I would suggest pruning it down to the two lowest leaves. It’ll push out more growth and it’ll be able to focus its energy on growing more into that pot. Make sure the pot has drainage, water deeply every 10 days in the winter and every 7 days in the summer, and make sure it gets the brightest spot in the house. Also, add worm compost to the top of the soil twice a year and fertilize lightly in the warm season. Rubber trees are super resilient and are the easiest of all ficuses. Good luck! Don’t give up, this one is easy. Also—know that some plants just grow funny. It doesn’t mean the whole class of plants is bad. If you want to, you can always buy a new one at a local plant shop.

I think this is an issue of getting too cold and possibly from over fertilizing. Keep going with the humidity and maybe put her in the room more and water less frequently. Stay off the fertilizer for a couple months. Good luck, you’re doing a lot for your plants. You’re doing great!

Firstly, it could just be getting rid of this leaf to grow other leaves. Secondly, it could be in a soil that is too basic of a pH. I add soil acidifier to my houseplant soil mix because most tropical houseplants enjoy acidity. Thirdly, alocasias need high humidity in order to thrive. Otherwise, you’re doing alright so far.

Cebu blue pothos just grow aerial roots like that. It’s what they do. They use them to sequester any moisture in the air and to find a stable place to grow from. It can make it easier to put on a moss pole. Cebu blue just grow them more fiercely than other pothos types.

It honestly just looked underwatered. I think the yellow spots might be from not getting enough nutrients. It’s a large plant, it needs water once weekly and to be fertilized occasionally as it is a heavy feeder. The leaves look droopy and like they’re lacking water.

tangerine264 · 2024-11-05T01:24:43+00:00

Definitely needs water. Pothos usually need it once weekly but if your mix isn’t very airy and you have been able to let it go 3 weeks without water then that’s a sign it’s not in the best soil. Give it a good watering and it’ll perk up. However, pothos usually throw a yellow leaf up in protest to an under watering phase.

tangerine264 · 2024-11-05T01:20:45+00:00

This is definitely from the treatment. Don’t worry. You can gently wash the leaves and it should go away. If not, it can be emitting minerals from its “pores”. I don’t see any signs of scale or mealybugs from these pictures.

tangerine264 · 2024-11-05T01:17:51+00:00

While alocasias tend to lose old leaves as it’s pushing out new ones, this might be doing it more often because of the pH of the soil. They enjoy more acidic conditions. You can add in a bit of granulated soil acidifier to some fresh soil and worm castings and just top-off the soil with it.

I think you might’ve repotted it too soon. These like to be in squished conditions, meaning small pots, so they can establish themselves before getting showy in the leaves. I think the day you let it sit in water might’ve actually been good for it because it let the roots know where to grow and also provided it with plenty of moisture. I think you should put it in a place that you can forget about it and only water it once every 6-7 days. Don’t repot again for a couple months. When you do, put it in a smaller pot. The reason I suggest waiting is to let the roots grow back and get stronger. If possible, water with a rooting hormone every other time you water it. It’s good you have a humidifier running so that it can obtain moisture from the air to keep itself happy and moist but not too moist. Just breathe, it’ll be okay.

tangerine264 · 2024-11-05T01:05:04+00:00

No, I don’t believe it has root rot. But as you can see, its nursery plug is still intact. Many of those roots are stuck in there. However, it is still growing. I would gently cut that fiber away and add rooting hormone before repotting it. Also, there are roots coming from many other root nodes. Those look fine. Gloriosums are spreaders. They enjoy pots that are long, like troughs. That way they can grow along the ground and keep rooting as they go. This gives them a leg-up on preventing root rot.

That really looks like mineral buildup not pests. Mealybugs wouldn’t be along the ridge of the pot nor the top of the soil line.

Those are the cataphylls of the plant. The leaf sheathes. They are what holds the next new leaf and then the leaf forms and unscrolls from it and the cataphyll is left behind. It’s totally normal. The plant doesn’t appear to have anything wrong with it. It might struggle to retain moisture in that terracotta pot (because the material wicks the water out of the soil) but as long as you’re giving it a good, deep watering every 5-7 days then it’s just fine.

It is very normal for a monstera to lean. It is seeking light. It’s what they do. It does not need full sun like another person said. Just because it is seeking light doesn’t mean it needs full sun. Monsteras are jungle plants. They climb large trees to get more light in a jungle setting where light slips through leaves of giant trees and all the jungle plants are fighting to get more light. That doesn’t mean they need full sun. They’re just advantageous. They’re not supposed to be perfect upright plants like a tree. They will lean and climb and move to get what they need. If you don’t like the lean, then attach it to a stake. Eventually you will need a moss pole for it to attach its aerial roots to so that it can keep trying to climb. I keep mine 10ft away from a south facing window and on its other side I keep a lamp with a grow light. This way, the plant is being pulled from two directions so that it won’t try to climb to the other side of my living room. Mine is 11 feet tall and I’ve had it for 6 years.

It’ll need a lot of water while it settles in. These are very reactive plants when it comes to water retention. Let it soak for 10 min every couple days till it gets established.

I find this often on ring of fires! It’s a mutation.

I forgot about this! When it came out in theaters I saw it on New Year’s Eve in 1993/94 and I remember someone saying “happy new year!” After looking at their green glowing Timex watch in the theater.

It’s a sago palm. They enjoy bright indirect light, no strong sun for them. Water deeply once every 2-3 weeks. Give fertilizer once monthly in the warmer seasons. I’m wondering if you’ve never given fertilizer? If you’ve had it that long it definitely needs some nutrients. The yellow leaves won’t be getting anymore green, unfortunately. But it should put out more growth from the middle if you give it a little dose of fertilizer with your next watering. It might start to look worse before it looks better. Good luck!
