Hi there!<br><br>My name’s Gracie and I’m a new plantaholic. I got my first houseplant (in my current collection) last October, and have been building my plant collection ever since. These are just a few of my babies! I’ve learned a LOT the last few months and can now say with confidence that I have a decent green thumb! I’m here to share my plants with you guys and to help with troubleshooting, identification, etc!<br><br>Happy to be here! 🌱🤸🏼♀️<br>-Gracie-
If you see any little new leaf sprouts coming from anywhere but the center of the plant, nip them off. You can try to sprout them in water or soil, I never had luck with that. You can mist them occasionally, and I touch the leaves and rub them and tell them how BEAUTIFUL they are! Talk to them... I even have a song I made up and I sing to them... Everybody looks GOOD , Everbody looks GREAT!!!!! They like that. HA.. I'm insane.
When their "neck" gets long they have to be trimmed down. Sometimes I have success with that, sometimes not. My MIL puts a baggie over them when she trims them and does this little incubator thing. At my house it's survival of the fittest!!!! That goes for people, too! :)
Rotate them around in the light.. try to keep them growing straight in their pot. I don't think they are hard to grow at all. Sometimes they are just old and they die off ….like us! I have a little tiny one that I bought that way, I got my MIL one too. Hers looks ROUGH. Has like 5 leaves on it. Mine looks exactly like it did from day one. WOOOOT!!!
I don't really have great luck with Fern type plants. I have a Birds Nest fern... has some dry tips.... anything that likes real humidity, I struggle to keep them looking good. So that is my advice!!
Beautiful plants
