Please help “Planty” - I’ve had this money tree for 7 years - it was flourishing for the first 3 years with dark green bushy leaves and was approx 3.5 feet tall when I adopted it - then we moved houses - it’s now facing West, I repotted it Oct 2025 (went from 8” black grower pot to 10” clear grower pot with drainage) and have trimmed one leggy stem to encourage new growth. Planty seems very sad and when I test soil with moisture meter it’s usually middle moisture level - not too wet, not too dry. The leaves are always pale green and droopy. More water? More direct sunlight? Too much water? Too much Sun (in summer rhe window gets direct Sun from approx 3pm - sunset.

Planted peppers from a local nursery in Western Colorado a week ago. They don’t seem to be thriving. They have enough water to think. Any ideas on how to cook them up?

In new soil, a new pot, fresh water. Hopefully all it needed was new soil and a new pot

Hello my beautiful community 🤍 I have been noticing this succulent has been breaking off and curling on the leaves. Is this a sign of overwatering or is it too dry? Can she be saved 🥹

My very first harvest, A single piece of okra which I'm not even sure is fully ripe or a bit too ripe, since the okra we eat is usually green. Funny I've been eating this vegetable my entire life but never once knew how to tell when it's ripe, I wonder how common that is stuff that you might also eat everyday, like do you know what a ripe plant if rice looks like 🍚, or a ripe piece of corn 🌽 or even chillies 🌶. Funny I'm learning more about my connection with my food and it's nice

HAPPY JUNE @TheWateringHole!!! There’s a special satisfaction in finding the ✨RIGHT✨ spot for a plant, isn’t there?!? These 4 “orchid cacti” are relatively new to me and I’ve tried them in different places around the house looking for a good fit 😘👌🏻 And … 🥁🥁🥁 … his southern facing window with a little dappled shade from the Bloodgood Maple outside seems to be JUST the ticket! 🎟️ 🙌 Seeing all this new growth has me downright giddy 😁👏 Dare I hope for blooms??? 🤞🏻 I’m so inspired that I moved my monster Christmas Cactus back to this window too 🎄 Where are seeing inspiring new growth on this first day of June? 🌱☀️ #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #TheWateringHole #debbiedo

Flat mites (false spidermite) info posts. Under my rant about my current flat mite outbreak @debbiedo suggested, I supply some pictures and description of symptoms to help others spot their own outbreaks sooner (or, like me, spot those signs and ignore them, hence the rant). So here you go. My picture gallery of doom. Also: Should you have questions regarding specific pictures, please keep in mind, I'm flying blind, since at this point, Greg doesn't even show me my own pictures anymore. And if any relevant existing hashtags come to mind (I seem to remember we have some sort of "plantinfo-themoreyouknow" kind of thing), please relay them to me to add to the bunch. #pestcontrol #orchidlovers #hoya #hoyahangout #flatmites

I’m a new plant owner in an apartment so I got a small aloe plant because they seemed low maintenance, they can serve a purpose, and I just think they look cool. Does anyone have tips for Aloe and can tell me how/when I can harvest the actual Aloe in the plant without totally destroying it?

Hi, my lovely Greggers. Please send love and strength. Or, if that's not your thing, a bottle of a good single malt will do as well, I'm not picky. Mites. False spider mites. With big hoya collection, after having moved plants around everywhere. And maybe having spotted some signs of virused plants as well (please, please, no ) Need I say more? I could really kick myself for my hybris here. (So maybe forget the whisky, transatlantic kicks from all of you would maybe be more appropriate. I've noticed signs of the infestation for a long time now. But every time, I checked the plants I suspected, (seemingly) diligently. With my more practical magnifying app/glass. Nothing. additionally, I had high trust in my seller, had a comfortably established rest predatory mite population in some pots and am absolutely pedantic about quarantine (which, of course, is basically useless if you don't see/ acknowledge the problem when it presents during that time). Can any of you give a better example for false confidence? I even traded some plants recently, so I even checked those particular ones diligently (I thought). Now I noticed signs of weird dechlorinated leaves spreading, which before I had attributed to a nutrient deficiency. Virus? Nah. Where would that have come from on my absolutely treasured bella PES-03. I've had her for v long, I never share water, no signs of pests, so no plant sap exchange. ... ... Again, feel free to kick me. Anytime. Yesterday I saw signs of those spots on other plants where the deficiency theory makes no sense, got freaked out and finally took out my jewelers loupe. Because logic hasn't failed me completely. if spread of virus, then sap transfer. If sap transfer, then pests (in my case). And if undetected pests then a) pests tiiiiiiny and b) I'm truly fuuuuuu.... well, you know. Fundamentally angry with myself. Gosh, those things are tiny. Undetectable by best magnification my very solid glasses could offer. Even after I knew where to look because I could just make them out with the jewelers loupe. I think part of the reason for my false confidence was my experience with broad mites and some flat mites on a tomato plant a while back. With my glasses on both of those could be spotted with the magnifiers. The tiny bit the broad mites are bigger, made all the difference. And even the flat mite seemed to be a softly bigger species, so that the stark contrasting red dot could be spotted. This time? Nah. And to give me a great start fighting this problem: I planned to get up early to get myself a truckload of predatory mites before work, but I overslept after a sleepless night. Maybe I'll manage tomorrow. Or not. Things have been stressful as is. If you've followed this rant along this far, thanks. I needed to vent. Don't forget to send virtual kicks. I will deceptively attach a picture of a rose because a) hoyas make me sad rn, b) I don't think you would appreciate a huge flat mite picture in your feed c) that rose was gorgeous and d) who cares, I myself can't see it anyway. For me, Greg's been completely without pictures for a while now. Again. #pestcontrol #hoya #hoyahangout #mitesarestupid #sadplant #formitessake

The leaves on couple of my plants have little holes. Should I be concerned? As I said before I kill most plants with over watering so trying to not do again.

Hello! I just found baby earthworms in my prayer plant! I was not ready!! Google told me this is normal, but I should remove them because they will out grow the pot and climb out! Any advice from someone who has delt with this?
