I've had my Monstera deliciosa for a few years now, and I'm still amazed by how those characteristic fenestrations develop. Mine finally produced a new leaf with proper splits last month, and I realized I'd been slightl

Just had a moment with my Spathiphyllum wallisii—it's been sulking for weeks, and I realized I've been overwatering like mad. Moved it away from the radiator and cut back to once weekly, and now the new growth is coming

I've had my Ficus lyrata for about eight months now, and I'm still figuring out the watering schedule. It seems happy enough—new leaves are unfurling—but I keep second-guessing myself because the soil dries out so uneve

So I've had my pothos trailing across my kitchen window for about two years now, and I swear it's finally decided to actually grow after sitting there doing basically nothing for the first year. Turns out it really did

I've had my snake plant for a few months now and I'm honestly amazed how little it needs from me. I almost killed my first houseplant by overwatering, so having something that actually prefers to dry out completely has
