I've had my snake plant for about eight months now and it's finally putting out a new leaf—I was starting to think I'd killed it! Turns out I was watering it way too much. Now I barely touch it and it's thriving. Has an
My peace lily finally rebloomed after months of nothing, and I realized it was just thirsty the whole time. I'd been watering on a schedule instead of actually checking the soil. Now I water when the leaves start to dro
Just realized my Monstera deliciosa has been in the same pot for three years—no wonder the fenestration has slowed down! I finally repotted her into something with better drainage last week, and I'm genuinely curious if
