Thought this would be the platform to share planty joys, I've placed decorations in my terrarium for the first time and I love it! I've also been eyeing some glassware to make future mini terrariums too.. #terrarium #happyplants #asparagusfern #fittonia #callisiapinkpanther

How can I help this plant? This is a callisia repens, or a pink panther/turtle vine (it has a lot of names). I got it 2 months ago. Clearly, some of the vines are doing well, but a lot of the others have fallen over. There’s also a lot of dead leaves lower on the vine but healthy leaves at the top, making the plant look worse than it is. I tried grooming out the dead leaves, but most were attached. Also, the vines that were dying but have new leaves at the end have nonexistent roots. They don’t want to stay in the dirt. Does anyone have any advice in general or for this specific plant? #CallisiaPinkPanther #HappyPlants #help

Came back from a 3 week vacation a few days ago. Due to a situation I have going on, I was not able to buy any self watering things or have anyone water my plants (though there was someone inside the house). I'm devastated. All my plants survived, but a few of my absolute favorites are in terrible condition. My callisia... my pink syngonium. Living, but it will take them long to return to their old state... as foolish and stupidly sensitive as it may seem, I cried over it. They have grown with me, with my mistakes. I bought my pink syngonium after the death of one of my beloved birds, and I even named it after her. Everything else seems to be fine, it's just my favorites. I was also looking forward to taking cuttings of my pothos for an experiment, but it lost a few leaves, and I can't take cuttings from her without her looking a bit bald. It was an experiment I had been looking forward to my whole time in MI, I guess I have to wait again. Sigh. #plantaddict #newgrowth (hopefully.) #plantsmakepeoplehappy #planttherapy #syngonium #pothos #callisiapinkpanther #pinkpanthertradescantia #pothospack
