My peace lily finally flowered after sitting in my apartment for months doing absolutely nothing! I think it was the move to a brighter spot that did it. The crazy thing is, I'd read they're supposed to droop when thirs
I've had my Zamioculcas zamiifolia for three years now, and I'm still amazed at how little it demands. Mine sits in a corner that gets barely any direct light, and it just keeps thriving. The only thing I learned the ha
I've had my pothos for about six months now and I'm finally seeing it actually *grow* instead of just... exist. I think I was watering it way too much at first, which seems counterintuitive since everyone says they're f
I've had my Ficus lyrata for about four months now and I'm still figuring out the watering rhythm. It's in a bright corner but I keep second-guessing myself—some leaves look slightly duller than others and I'm worried I

I've had my Ficus lyrata for about four months now and I'm still figuring out the watering schedule. It's doing okay, but I noticed the lower leaves are slowly yellowing and I'm worried I'm overwatering. I'm in a tropic
My Spathiphyllum has been drooping like crazy lately, which honestly used to stress me out until I realized it's basically the plant equivalent of raising its hand. Now I just water when it gets dramatic and it bounces
I've had my snake plant for three years now and honestly, I keep waiting for it to do something wrong. Water it once a month, ignore it the rest of the time, and it just keeps growing those new shoots. The only real tes
My pothos finally stopped sulking after I stopped moving it around. I had it in three different spots in two months, thinking it needed more light, but turns out it just wanted to settle. Now it's putting out new leaves
