I love it so much!

My beautiful cucumber is being attacked and I don’t know by what :(. Does anyone know what can create this nets? They are full of tiny insect and the leaves that have them are dying :(.

What can I do?

I've had this cactus for a few years, and for a while it's had a problem where it grows so tall that it can't stand up. You can see in the photo that I have it tied to some stakes to keep it upright - if not for those it would literally uproot itself in under a day.

Why might this be? I don't know all that much about houseplants. I water this cactus (and my other cactuses, which are not the same species) once every two weeks, about 1 to 1.5 cups of water. I use some cactus fertilizer like twice a year, pretty inconsistently. It lives perpetually indoors with those three light rods visible in the picture as its sole light source (On for 12 hours a day).

Given how little I know about proper plant care, I'm sure none of that is ideal - but is any of it the obvious culprit for why this happens? What should I be doing better?

Thanks for any help.

P.S. Those two nodules just above the lower string are brand new, and it's never branched out like that before - what should I expect them to become? Round bulbs? Branches? Flowers? Nothing at all? The tip top of the cactus being white is also very recent.

Found this little jar at a Wilko in town for £6. Made a perfect little greenhouse for a calathea I saved from going in the bin at a nursery. It's much happier with the higher humidity.

So I've planted five props of Philodendron Brasil and three of Neon Pothos in one pot. I think the light green leaves of the Neon match the pattern of the Philo quite well. Philopothos now lives in an east facing window in my parents' home.

Working from home was a difficult transition for me, but adding plants (and having good light) make all the difference. I thought you folks would approve.

This guy and I have been friends for a while. It likes to be watered every day.

Hi. I'm new (as I think we all are). I tried to join, and the "subscribe" button is just text, it doesn't do anything. Does anyone have the same problem? I'm posting from another instance.

Edit: Got it working. Thanks!

All my plants living inside got a name. Am I the only one doing this?

Its kind of fun to say stuff like "yeh i have to water Gerta" or "I am living with Gerta, Liselotte, Bums, Godwin, Waldemar and Dawn" :P

How did you name your plants? If you do.

Decided to create a bonsai focused community. https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/bonsai !bonsai@discuss.tchncs.de

Hope some of you decide to join and share your bonsai😁

If anyone would like to help me set up these communities and/or mod, please get in touch. This place is what we make it and I’d love some fresh ideas. I mod a number of smaller science subreddits and would like to help make this place just as nice, if not better!
