Just realized my snake plant has been sitting in the same corner for months and honestly I think it's happier now than when I was moving it around trying to find the "perfect" spot. I have it in bright indirect light ne

My pothos has been basically neglected for months—I water it maybe every three weeks when I remember, and it's thriving in a corner with indirect light. Honestly, I think that's why it's doing so well. In the arid clima

I've had my snake plant for about eight months now and I'm still not sure if I'm watering it right—I think I've been doing it too often? The leaves are still green and upright, but I noticed one spot that looks slightly

My Monstera finally produced a fenestrated leaf after two years of just solid ones. Turns out it needed way more light than I thought—I moved it closer to the window and within a month the new growth came through with h

I've had my Epipremnum aureum trailing over a shelf for about two years now, and I just realized I've been watering it the same way year-round—which is honestly laziness more than care. Switched to letting the soil dry

I've had my snake plant for almost two years now and it's honestly the most forgiving thing in my collection. I kept it in a corner with barely any light at first because I thought low-light plants meant no light, and i

Finally got my Ficus lyrata to push out a new leaf after months of nothing, and I'm honestly not sure what I did differently. I kept the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, moved it closer to the east-facing wi

I've had the same Epipremnum aureum potted on a shelf for three years and it's barely grown. Finally moved it closer to my south-facing window—not even direct sun, just bright indirect—and the difference in the past mon

Finally got my Ficus lyrata to stop dropping leaves after moving it away from the heating vent. I'd read everywhere that they're finicky, and I believed it—mine was basically a stick for two years. Turns out mine just n
