My new babie ;) I’ve got it as a gift recently. I identified it as Sansevieria “Fernwood”. What do you think guys, is it correct id?I am looking for advice from people who have this plant #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #fernwood #Sansevieria #newplant #giveaway

Should I repot this plant? Hey everyone, My Sansevieria Fernwood seems to be living its best life since it has now 14 new leafs coming up! The pot is very small and I was wondering if it was the right time to repot it in a new bigger pot or if it could still wait. I know these plants like to be tight but I wonder at which point tight is too tight. What would you do? Thanks for your help! #sansevieria #help #repotseason

I just bought my first snake plant. It’s starting to look a little dry and the leaves are starting to look lighter. Please advise. #Dracaena

What the heck do I do #Dracaena hey!! So, I’ve had this for a couple years and like should I repot it or just keep watering it and letting it grow? I have a drainage hole and the dirt actually stays relatively dry, I water this one about once a month. Usually 1/2 cup. It’s crazy how little water he needs.

Care advice needed #Dracaena hey y’all! I just bought a cute pot (I think glazed clay?) and I had no idea it came with a plant, and I see some exposed roots and weird soil - it looks like it’s mostly rocks. This is only my second plant and I was wondering if you guys think I should repot it or add soil. Also should I cut off the dead ends or let them fall off? Thanks!!

What happened?? #planthelp #HelpMePlease My bogota randomly got like this after 5 months of being perfectly fine. It was in low light for this time and I figured I would water it if it its leaves got less hard. I have no idea what happened. I noticed a lot of dark specks near the base of the leaves, is it thrips? Can I still save it?

I feel like it got too much sun and the leaves are fried! #Dracaena

Stop hovering over the plant, i.e. leave it alone. I water about once a month or twice depending on soil conditions. Be careful with its little spikes tho as it it quite fragile.

Make sure to have a deep enough pot for this guy, they get top heavy after a while

Even though this plant can grow in low light conditions it absolutely loves bright indirect light!
