I know unfurling was last week's word (I don't even have one this week) but I had to show you this Calathea lancifolia (now Goeppertia). Look how gorgeous this rolled up leaf🌿 is. Some of these pictures are taken with the #easymacro lens. The burgundy underside is showing its beauty and when it unfurls the top is green with dark green markings 💚 and is also called the rattlesnake 🐍 plant. Make sure to give it high humidity, don't let it dry out, and use distilled water when watering. Calatheas are in the marantaceae family along with the prayer 🙏 plant, and they do not like the chemicals in our water, 💧 (usually only municipal water) especially fluoride which does not dissipate by letting your water sit overnight like the chlorine does. The chemicals and/or inconsistent watering will cause brown tips, edges, and spots on the foliage. This is a beautiful family of foliage plants which do flower 🌸 but may not in your home. They prefer a medium light- no high light, please. Do you have a calathea or prayer plant? . . #thehouseplantguru #calatheasofinstagram #calathea #highhumidityneeded #rattlesnakeplant #houseplanthelp #unfurlingleaves #flauntyourfoliage #house_plant_community #greenyourfeed #houseplants #indoorplants #fancyfoliage #whoneedsflowers #get_planted #plantparent #plantnerd https://www.instagram.com/p/CAFpKc3A45n/?igshid=18b39duouhnax

Ahhhh HELP I was gone for 2 days and came back home to this?!?! It wasn’t like this when I left. Wtf is happening here? Is that mold? Orrrr? Is this plant a goner? Can I revive it? Should I take it out of this lil garden so none of the other plants in it get contaminated???

UPDATE 03/22/17 this plant has died 😢

Snake plant (Sansevieria) is an ideal bedroom plant. Whereas most plants release Carbon dioxide at night, the snake plant continues to produce oxygen, also purifies air by absorbing toxins through the leaves and producing pure oxygen. . . #GardeningIndia #houseplantsmakemehappy #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantlove #houseplantcommunity #indoorjungle #houseplantclub #houseplantdiary #snakeplant #snakeplants #airpurifyingplants #sansevieria #sansevieriatrifasciata #motherinlawstongue #plantsinfocus #pausewithplants #myplantlovinghome #indoorplantsdecor #planteriordesign #houseplantcommunity #plantsagram #indoorgarden #plantsofinstagram #plantshelfie #houseplanttips #houseplanthelp #gardeningindia (at Sonipat) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_wNX_cAKlE/?igshid=1wj9atvfkj1xp

Multiple pictures in one post? Heck yeah! Swipe to see more of each item in this scene. 🌱 I need some plant help. I brought this guy home about a month ago. Soil stayed damp even though I haven't watered it the entire time. It has indirect light for most of the day. Now the leaves are turning yellow and brown. When I pull the dead leaves out, the stems feel like sticky mush. It's like touching a slug. Any pointers? This was awfully expensive and I'd hate to see it die from disease or whatever it's experiencing. 😞 more pictures of the leaves as you swipe. 🌱 Large 40.5x28 'Woman with book' Picasso print, $85 Vintage gold metal bench, White porcelain and solid brass swan, $120 Swirled brass pot, $36 ____________________________________ 🔻🔻s h o p l i n k🔻🔻 www.thewhiteelephantco.com 🐘✨ #whiteelephantco #etsy #shopetsy #shopsmall #homedecor #vintagehome #vintagedecor #vintagefinds #artwork #picasso #pablopicasso #goldmetal #hollywoodregency #mypopofcolor #midcentury #midcenturymodern #planthelp #plantlove #houseplanthelp #plantscout #plantstagram #glamhome #glamdecor #houseplantdiary #wallart #walldecor #brass #mystyle #thisiswhyithriftshopeveryday #planttips

I thought this begonia was dead 😬, but I kept watering 💧 it when it dried out just in case. (If I had not let it completely dry out in the first place, we wouldn't be talking about this.) I am optimistic most of the time and it payed off! Here comes a new leaf 🌱. Sometimes you just have to have hope. Plants want to live and grow and are more resilient than you think. Do you have a similar story? You thought a plant was dead, but it came back? . . #plantrevival #houseplantlife #plantswanttogrow #houseplanthelp #begonia #newleaf #houseplanthope #houseplantsrock #houseplants #indoorplants #house_plant_community #urbanjungle #greenyourfeed #get_planted #plantsmakepeoplehappy #bhghome #betterhomesandgardens #plantaddict #plantnerd #planthoarder #flauntyourleaves https://www.instagram.com/p/B9t4w95gayH/?igshid=1s1lvf33p5wtc

A just wrote a new blog post about asparagus ferns as houseplants. I love them and they are easy and the link is in my profile. Do you have any asparagus ferns as houseplants? Or do you only use them outside in your containers? . . #houseplanthelp #houseplantsrock #urbanjungle #house_plant_community #houseplantseverywhere #gardenchat #houseplants #indoorplant #notjustforoutside #findyourplant #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantpeeps #plantlady #planthoarder #plantnerd #flauntyourleaves #get_planted #greenyourfeed https://www.instagram.com/p/B1IQIWWA6hs/?igshid=7tfcvjy1smox

Love this Pellonia pulchra climbing up a bromeliad leaf, growing @belleislestatepark in the conservatory. It is planted with another creeping plant (the ground covers of the tropics) Pilea libanensis (glauca). They look good together don't you think? These plants would work well as under plantings in your large potted trees. Have you done that? . . #publicgarden #statepark #goodideas #houseplanthelp #houseplant #indoorplants #urbanjungle #tropicalgroundcovers #bhghome #plantsmakepeoplehappy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2X1D3F4b1/?igshid=fijmbq7hdt64

This calathea dried out last week, so this week, I up-potted it into a new pot. Check out the link in my bio to see what I had to do to make it look better, other than changing containers. . . #houseplanthelp #letmehelp #whatcangowrong #houseplants #houseplantsrock #indoorplants #crazyplantlady #houseplantproblems #house_plant_community #gardenchat #urbanjungle https://www.instagram.com/p/BvS7Kz2lsga/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b9garjmtq3a1

Has your plant dried out?😕👎 The leaves are curled, the root ball has pulled away from the edge of the pot and the water doesn't soak into the root ball but runs down between the pot wall and root ball, never giving the plant any water at all? How do you solve the problem?

May have bought a Bergs pot today @detroitgarden for my button fern 🌿💚 (Pellaea rotundifolia) I think it looks great! It is the time of year to re-pot and/or up-pot your houseplants. Remember only go one size up when up-potting your plants. Too large a container can lead to root rot if there is too much superfluous potting medium around your root ball. Use a well-drained potting medium and make sure you have a drainage hole in your pot. If there isn't one, make one. I use a diamond tipped drill bit to create a hole in almost anything. Place a piece of screen over the hole to keep the medium in and let the excess water out. Always water your plant until water runs out the drainage hole, dumping excess water out of the saucer after 1/2 hour or so. Happy potting! Are you re-potting anything this weekend?
