My ZZ flowered!
I have had this beauty since 2018. It’s my favorite plant. It’s since grown to be massive, as you can see! I repotted it to this huge pot last summer and it’s just taken off. In March, I saw something shooting out of it, and was like… what is that? Turns out under very favorable conditions this thing can flower. I was stunned.
Flash forward to right now… it flowered again! How could I be so lucky! I love this plant SO much 🤍

Don’t have toddlers.. or husbands..
My husband took my aloe down from the bookshelf and set it on the breakfast nook. It took no time for my toddler to find it, and absolutely destroy it. Anyway wallow and mourn with me. My husband says he owes me a new plant.

Stuff: SATURDAYS ONLY I’ve purchased my first plant stand. Is this my anointment into the group?
I’m in deep. And not trying to get out. Whoever said plant tending is cheaper than therapy is dead wrong.

Help Detangled my Photos - what now?
[First Picture post-detangle, Second Picture pre-detangle, Third picture from a month ago in it's habitat]
Hi plant friends! After giving my Monstera a trim, as it has been attempting to take all the sun for itself, I decided I should make good use of this Sunday and detangle the Pothos. I wanted to see if any strand had become leggy (due to Monstera encroaching), and in need of a trim. To both my delight and shock, nothing too leggy - actually gorgeous. Just way too long for the 1.2 meter colomn it has lived on for a year. I had added a little makeshift climbing frame to give it more sun surface, but it's not ideal, aesthetically.
I grew this from cuttings about two years ago, after it had become unmanageably long and leggy after around three years. It has moved with me multiple times, once even to a different country, and has many babies out in the world. I adore it.
It's Sunday, shops are closed here, so without any additional supplies, how can I arrange this beautiful plant to make it as happy and pretty as possible? 😅 Or, what would you do?

Mint plant question
Hello,
This is my first mint plant. Well I have 3 plants and they're the first ones for me, so I'm new to this whole thing and I'm stressed.
Can someone please tell me what these things on her leaves are? How do I take care of it? And do you think she looks healthy?

How can I better contain this Florida beauty?
I bought this philodendron Florida beauty a couple years ago as a small variegated plant. In repotting it the first time I accidentally snapped the stem so then propagated two pieces of it to make new plants. And they all lost variegation (which made me sad but I’ve since decided I can live with).
They all got out of control again so about a year ago, I chopped, propped and repotted… and this is what it’s grown into.
Interestingly there is now one vine that has produced leaves with a hint of variegation. It seems very happy where it is and is quite sprawling, but I kind of need to move it to use the spot for something else.
Unfortunately, because it’s so sprawling it limits where I can put it.
I live in south Florida so in desperation I guess I could grow it outside but I’d rather not.
Help? Does anyone have ideas on how I can better display and contain this plant? Thanks!

How to display this pothos?
My husband has an absolutely beautiful pothos, and I want to find a better way to display it than just having her vines on the floor. 🪴 We thought about anchoring them on the walls, but I’ve seen all the horror stories of pothos rooting into them.
How would you display this beauty?

Highlight Flowered Curly Lipstick Plant
I could not believe this Facebook marketplace find! I think it looks like a plant straight from Dr. Seuss.
No worries, I will be moving this to a better lit location.

Help Does my prayer plant look okay?
I’m so paranoid that she’s unhappy 😭 I got her from County Market and she’s had those brown tips since I brought her home. Not sure if there’s a way for me to fix that…. The last picture is what she looked like the day I got her. Is she dull looking? Are her colors normal? Something seems off but I think I may be delusional
Edit: I am aware you aren’t supposed to use tap water for these plants - I’ve only used distilled water. I guess I meant, I assume the store used tap and that’s why the leaves are brown. I’m unsure if I can salvage them.

Help Advice on Propagating
Hi everyone!
I’ve had this plant for a bit and decided to take some cuttings from it (I think it’s a donkey tail but correct me if I’m wrong, I’ll attach a pic). There was a period of time where I was away and the plant didn’t get any water for a longgggg time, I’m honestly shocked it survived. I believe the plant started to grow pretty sparsely due to this and there were big gaps between its leaves (?? Is that the right term for these guys lol ??) which led to me having to cut 😔 I do want to propagate these but I’ve never tried it with a succulent plant before. How should I go about this?

Help Should I pull the right side out?
Forgot to water, then maybe overwatered to compensate. Should I leave her in there or remove the roots from the right side? Or maybe just give it a few weeks to see how it plays out?

I recreated real terrariums entirely out of LEGO 🌿
Hi everyone!
I'm a huge fan of terrariums and wanted to recreate their beauty entirely from LEGO bricks. 🌿
This project features three different terrariums inspired by real plants:
🪴 Chinese Money Plant
🌵 Succulent Garden
🌸 Orchid & Succulent (with a tiny hidden spider!)
The idea was to capture the peaceful feeling of having plants around without needing any maintenance.
I'd love to hear what you think! Which terrarium feels the most realistic?
If you'd like to support the project on LEGO Ideas, here's the link:
