Mutant violet? (lemmy.world)
I was given a small pot with a single sad leaf to try and rescue. I was told it was an African violet. It was repotted and I gave it some fertilizer and it started producing this giant leggy looking leaves. Is this normal? A mutant? It doesn’t look like any violet I’ve seen....
After 5 long years my pineapple plant is finally starting to flower! (lemmy.world)
My friend complimented how well I'm taking care of my plants and I feel compelled to confess my methods
All of my plants are next to the two spots I usually sit down. So when I have my big water cup out, I share a little with my plants and maybe pet their leafs for a second. It makes me happy to share my cuppy of water with my little plants. Apparently, this works really well and they are all growing like crazy! One of my fellas...

My bioluminescent petunia (mander.xyz)
Not an ad or anything but I got it from light.bio if you’re curious. Super cool product, I’ve been waiting for a company to successfully bring a bioluminescent plant to the market for a decade and it finally happened!

Grow, dammit (possumpat.io)
Still waiting for my newest African violet to shape up, but it was cruelly yanked from an auntie’s loving humidity cabinet and then thrown to sink or swim on my countertop.

African Violet Problem (lemmy.world)
Here are some pictures of an African Violet I have had for about 10 years. I think I may have a problem. Leaves at the bottom have been dying, which did not seem unusual but now I notice discoloration of other leaves and flowers. More pictures - nd.nl.tab.digital/s/EAYcAiAjA25SwfK...

My first attempt at air layering Pothos with coco coir is successful! (mander.xyz)
My Pothos got a bit long and dropped leaves in the middle of its stem. I didn’t want to cut it directly since in my experience it would drop more leaves on the newly cut piece, so I wanted to try air layering. I’ve never done air layering before and didn’t want to use sphagnum moss, so I gave it a try with coco coir....

Considerations on which houseplant to start with
So, obviously, a beginner wants to start with a hardy plant, and I guess a cheap one, and one suited for the conditions the houseplant will be living in, and one they like the look of. But my intention with this hobby is to become more connected with my environment, not to exploit it in the way most convenient for me. I want to...

Identify type of aloe and tips for care (lemm.ee)
Can anyone help identify this type of aloe? I have three cuttings from the original plant that was given to my wife. They tend to grow upwards but cannot support their own weight and will break apart so I’m having trouble keeping them healthy. I feel like they should be growing out not up. If I knew what it was I was hoping I...
My house! (lemmy.world)
Is there someone in this community that is willing to test planters for me?
I have a hobby 3d design business where I make things, and I have a lot of planters. When I make a new one the routine is, buy plant, plant it, take pictures, make notes about how well it works or looks....
