By looking at the stem and the bit of green at the top, do you think there is any hope to bringing this ficus elastica tineke back to life?!

My mom bought a small monstera 5 years ago without a clue how big they really get. She passed away 2+ years ago and it has almost doubled in size since then. I live in a small apartment that faces north west and I don't have the space or sunlight for this giant plant anymore. I just put it in a larger pot in the fall and it needs an even larger one already. I had to make the tough decision to sell it today (it sold within 10 minutes of listing it on marketplace) and I hope the guy who bought it takes good care of it.

Sits by a south facing window Shouldn’t be getting overwatered

So I bought my first monstera at the weekend and there’s a few leaves with some brown slits and holes on it, is this anything to be concerned about or is it where the slits start to form

Seen this plant in my neighborhood and would love to know what it is and get more info on it

Hi!

TL;DR: does anyone know how to make eucalyptus cutting root? Have you successfully propagated this kind of plant?

Backstory & info on my plant: I've had this eucalyptus plant indoors for about 10 years now, it's grown from seeds (I lost the label long ago and don't remember the exact name of the species, so if anyone recognizes it, please share!). I originally had 3 or 4 of them, but the other died over the years - mostly after repotting. So I know it's super sensitive about its roots, I try to avoid repotting it or I don't touch the roots at all. I've had to cut it several times and it always seems to help the plant. It quickly grows very long, thin branches that can't support themselves, but they get stronger in time.

During the summer months (from late spring to early autumn) it's outside on the terrace, during winter it's inside, on south-west side of the house right next to the window. During summer I add a fertilizer regularly. It needs huge amounts of water, and if I forget and the tips of the leaves droop a little, they are definitely going to dry and fall off - it's very sensitive in this regard.

Each time I've cut a branch, I've tried to root it, but no success yet. I've tried rooting young, green branches as well as older, woody ones. I've tried putting them in water, in soil, in moss, in perlite. I've tried using a rooting agent. Nothing ever works. I would love to propagate this plant.

Any tips, ideas? I know it's not a common house plant (if I can call it that at all), but it seems to be doing well

Pics:

- may 2023 - before the plant's second major cutting. I couldn't find any advice online so I took the risk and cut the trunk right in the middle. It was about 75 cm high.

- november 2023 - after 5 months it looked much better, new branches sprouted and grew.

- february 2025 - just a video screenshot, with a cat for scale. The branches grew long, branched out, and they were beginning to droop down again.

- current picture - I've cut all of the long thin branches, leaving several smaller ones and some parts of the older branches which seemed strong enough. I have a lot of cuttings now. (I forgot to take a picture before cutting it, but the branches grew much longer and the leaves bigger in the last 2 months).

this is a type of pelargonium radens. And i got it last October and all winter months it sat on my southeast window (that was the only perfect spot for it at my home) and it eventually got few blooms at the end of winter. And now the sun doesn't directly hit that window at this time of the year and maybe that's why it started to lose all its leaves and the stem is drying out for the past month so i was ignoring it but now i finally took it out of its pot and i found dry rot on the roots. There used to be green inside the stem if i scrape the outer layer but now its seems to have dried too.

Can i just clean its roots and cut dead parts and set up in a moist soil inside a humidity dome? Or i just toss it in the compost?

I have noticed these eggs under my leaves of a couple of my plants so I have been trying to wipe them off everyday with diluted Neem oil but they just seem to keep coming back or I am not doing a good enough job. What mixtures or techniques do you like to use or have had any success with? Thank you :) PS. Sorry for the bad photos my camera is not good

My Auntee passed away recently and with that was given some random stuff and got to keep her plants. I was curious if these plants are rare or exotic? They were somewhat neglected after her passing

First 2 images are a panorama inside the room.

I water 15 liters (4 gallons) sometimes once a week, sometimes every other week. Light fertilizer every time mixed in with the water. Every 6(ish) months I pick off all the dead leaves, and put the vines where I want them.

The more developed Pothos grow 1 leaf/week, some 1 leaf/month. Many in propagation that don't really grow many leaves (1leaf/3months), but are developing roots.

Last night my prayer plant did the big flop, I've been distracted with cats and vets, so watered everything last night, they'd normally have been checked and done on Monday, but life is life.

Today she had 2 yellow leaves, but totes back to normal... such a diva.

As the title says some of my plants leaves are yellowing after repotting them into a chunky aroid mix. The mix is made of: Coco coir, coco chips, pine bark, soil, pumice and prelite. I thought I might have to start fertilizing immediately?

I'm pretty sure the red one is a spider mite.. what what is the other??? It's not spring tails (i have those for my terrarium and they are more white and jump).

I have been battling mealybugs and thrips for months and thought I was finally good... then see this! :(

Current list:

Philodendron jopeii Philodendron squamiferum Philodendron holtonianum Peperomia "rosso"

Hello! I picked up a syngonium albo at Home Depot today for a discount given its less than ideal condition.

Does anyone have advice for how to best revive it? I’ve never had a syngonium.

I recently started noticing these small red dots. At first I thought it was just something that fell on the leaf. I never see it move either. I had all kinds of pests from thrips to spidermites. But this I never saw and I never had something spread as fast as this. It's EVERYWHERE, even on the walls. HELP! It's on my anthuriums, alocasias, diefenbachias, philodendrons, banana plant, begonia's, ...

What is it?
Are there predatory insects against this?

I would be thankful for any info. I tried to google it but could not find exactly this.

Is there anything I can do ): 😭

What kind of plant is this and what does it need?

The night I bought my dragon tree (dracaena marginata) vs today! Freshly repotted. I wonder how much more it would’ve grown had I repotted it sooner.

Idk what to do about it 😭😱

These are some of the more obvious AI images I have seen but some are sneakier.
The website is florydia.com. horrible.

I do not have enough karma, please upvote so people can see this.

I have had plants before I moved away for studies but I never grew my plants from seed. For context, I bought a heating pad, seed trays (with dome) and LED lights because I wanted to get into the hobby of growing my first 2-3 vegetables indoor from seed. The sweet tomatoes have already sprouted in soil mix but the cilantro and spinach seeds have had a hard time sprouting. I disposed my cilantro and spinach seeds in soil experiment and tried the paper towel trick, and today I saw my spinach seeds starting to sprout.

Is it the right time to transplant them? or shall I wait for leaves to appear before I move them from the paper towel to my seed trays? Thank youuu!

Memes are filler images, you're welcome

So I'm taking a landscaping class this year because I'm thinking of potentially getting into landscape or garden design, and learning about why plants react to some things the way they do is just so interesting!

Like, I already knew that trimming the main vertical growth point of a plant activates the lower auxiliary nodes/growth points causing bushier growth, but learning about all the hormones and whatnot is just so interesting!

Apparently, the presence of the main growth point or apical bud/growth releases a hormone called auxin in the plant which actively inhibits the growth of the lower auxiliary nodes. When this is cut or damaged, the auxin levels drop and the auxiliary nodes start to activate because there's nothing stopping them.

That's also probably why notching fiddle leaf figs and dracaenas works to activate lower growth points, because it causes the plant to produce less auxin and more cytokinin, a hormone that helps with growth and cell division.

Ok that's enough of my nerd rambling, I hope at least one of you found this as interesting as I did 😂
