So I got this plant like 3weeks ago now I guess and it's turning brown I do what the card it came with said, water once a week and bright filtered light... Anyone have other suggestions as what to do??

Bigger pot. That's a big plant for such a small pot. But I'm no gardener.

It came in that one they said it would be fine for like 6mons. But maybe you're right... Ill try that

HOSS429

agreed .. the instructions should have told you to transplant it to a 5 gallon bucket or so ... that`s the starter pot it`s in ...

NinjaSteffers

No it didn't say anything about putting it in a bigger one.... So ill do that soon

IIRC that's a sign of either too much or not enough water. I think it might be too much.

NinjaSteffers

But I water it once a week.. How would I know if it's getting too much??

Put your finger in the soil
Also is it sitting in the water?

NinjaSteffers

When I water it, it's pretty dry.... And no not sitting in water

2k7gtcs

Well if its dry its too dry

I didn't look at the picture too well

Is it a tropical or subtropical plant? Is it outside in cold? Some tropical a will die in under 40* temps

If the soil is dry then that's too dry

It's should be slightly moist or humid at least between watering

Those plants are pretty easy to take care of
I don't have any because I don't have time to take care of them and nobody else will

Edit:

I looked back at it and I gotta agree it needs a bigger pot. Plus are those ivys in the bottom real. If so they drink water. They could be robbing the plant.

My mother has a green thumb and has plants like those. If the entire leaf is brown you can usually pull it off. If parts are brown she used to take a scissors and cut the leaf. But she would reshape the point so it kept its shape. Just cuttin the brown part out and making a pointy leaf again. It won't hurt the leaf and you won't have to look at the brown part. Like fingernails they will grow back. You could wait for the brown part to grow out to the end but it will take a while and look ugly.

I only water every 3-4 weeks. Maybe sooner in the summer. This variegated money plant is my indicator. When its leaves just begin to limp I know its time to water. This plant perks back up in 24 hrs, and the rest of the plants say 'thank you!' I'm a bachelor - whadya expect! lol.



All I use is a bit of liquid miracle grow in the water. I have a dieffenbachia I've had since '79 that is now 3 - and they've been in just buckets of water for 10 yrs now. That miracle grow works - even for hydroponics. lol

NinjaSteffers

It's tropical I think and they are indoor ... I was thinking the cold could've gotten to them because it did get pretty cold in the house a few nights. I keep them by the window so they get sun... And yes the ivy is real. Ok so for sure a BIGGER pot and more water since the ivy?


Beautiful plant... I'm trying to get a green thumb become I love plants but **** this is a lotta work HAHAHAH

The only true way to know the amount of water is right is to stick your finger in the dirt

NinjaSteffers

Ok ill start doing that. Thanks for all y'all's help! Hopefully I can get this thing back to looking good
