Help Is this alright?
Should I be staking up my Peperomia plant so it doesn't sag? Or can I leave it as is? I kind of like the way it looks.

My sansevieria has gotten out of control.
I have had this guy for a couple of years I think. It came with 1 section and it was braided. i decided to untie it and just let it grow. Now I'm running into a big of a problem since some branches are a couple of feet long. I'm not sure I have the space for it anymore. Maybe I'll keep a baby and start over?

Steve had a baby!
Should I transfer the little guy to his own pot or leave him with dad a while?
Also, while we're here. Is that too much root exposed? That's the original pot from last year, idk if that part under the stem should be in soil

Plant Homes My beauty (2yo)
She lives in my very sunny bathroom, and loves it there !
Today, after 2 years of leaving her branches sadly hanging down to the ground, I put them up using little hooks, so she can continue to grow <3

Question: why is it that outside plants thrive when it rains every day for 2 weeks, but indoor plants would rot if they were watered anywhere near that much?

I don't see Pilea Moon Valley here very often, so here's mine.
My desk has the best window for plants so whatever I can't fit at home lives here :)

Progress of my alocasia after I had to chop when it started to die immediately after buying it š„° Donāt give up on your half dead alocasias!
This is your reminder to not throw away your alocasia that you think has died when it looses all its leaves immediately after buying it. Maybe it was just a me problem but this guy looked amazing for like a day and a half after bringing it home with about 4-5 leaves before it promptly withered like a sick Victorian child in the span of a single weekend and I was left with one leaf miserably hanging on for life. It was the most on deaths door looking plant Iāve ever owned and Iāve killed manyās a plant. I knew alocasias were notoriously tricky (my black velvet is forever on and off life support) and was convinced that despite owning 50+ plants I maybe wasnāt as good of a plant person as I thought and wasnāt ready for alocasias. I could have tried to prop the corms but I havenāt mastered propping corms yet so i was about to just give up when I decided why not just chop it to the bones and see what happens š¤·š»āāļø Safe to say it has made an amazing come back and is thriving. Do not give up on your two second from death alocasias! They can be revived!
I donāt have any before or immediately after cutting it pictures but I have to say it really looked dead dead. Even after the chop it was just a feeble looking stump that looked like a gust of wind would take it out. First photo is about a week after I repotted it into some chunky alocasia soil and chopped it (at the end of June/start of July) and i noticed āhey something is happening!!ā I just watered when it dried out and fertilised when I remembered. First leaf started to appear mid-end of July, and after it had fully came out of the sheath it literally took over a month to unfurl. I was fully convinced this leaf would never unfurl in this lifetime. Last photo is today, two days fully unfurled. Truly one of the best revivals of any plant Iāve ever owned. He got the name Bucky because he is well and truly a soldier š«”

Humor/Fluff In an abusive relationship with my fiddle leaf fig
So this is my last surviving fiddle leaf fig and sheās a real survivor. I havenāt been taking very good care of her and for the past 2 years sheās been pushing out a single leaf at the top only for me to forget to water her again and it dying off. Rinse and repeat about 20 times and now hereās the result. I find her funny so I donāt wanna get rid of her but is there any way of fixing or preparing her so she can now grow a happy life? 2nd pic is her dreaming of a life outside my ācareā
