You have a Phalaenopsis. You haven't killed it. Given good care it will grow another flowering spike. There is a mountain of information on this site. Just put Phalaenopsis in the search box at the top of this discussions page to find. Should be some very good complete culture notes written for Hawaii on the net. Here is a link that might be useful: thyme.tyger's orchid

That's actually not a palm, it's a Yucca gigantea. They are pretty easy plants but in low light conditions they can get a little leggy and the weight of their leaves can get too big for them to hold indoors. I think some supports would help along with taking it outside (in complete and all day shade, no sun at all) during the summer. You might want to cut off some of the bottom leaves of each of the trunks to relieve a bit of the weight. If the plant does have another problem going on with it, the good thing is you can always cut it back and it will grow back from the trunk. You can even cut a big piece of it off and make cuttings from it by putting the cut part of the trunk in water for 2 weeks and then putting some rooting hormone on it and potting it up. Good luck with it! It looks healthy, just a bit top heavy. -Alex

If you fertilized using that Fantastik Heavy Duty well that could be a problem! :-P It might be too early to fertilize anyway, a young avocado still gets its nutrients from the pit while it's attached. I don't have much experience with grow lights, so I can't say if the avo is getting enough proper lighting... so the yellowing on the leaves would point towards a watering problem. The soil is not the best (esp for drying quick enough--which is essential for preventing root rot), but you might work with it by careful watering. Simply, I'd mix in more perlite. Also, I do not see a tray for that pot, or the size of the holes (if any) and I'd be worried about not having enough drainage, but hard to tell from just photo. As a guideline, water when the leaves start to droop noticeably, and only then use like two shotglasses of water to that soil you're currently using. Also, to me the plant looks like it's planted shallow, I cannot imagine there is enough room for roots to develop and that could be stunting its growth. If you're going to raise it up to repot then that would be a good time to mix some better soil, perhaps sift out some of the black powdery stuff. But maybe hold off on anything drastic since you just repotted it. In the meantime find out more about good soil, and start looking to acquire the neccessary ingredients without spending too much cash. DIY avocados shouldn't really cost anything otherwise it defeats the whole purpose! ...your plant will live regardless, but you want it to also thrive!

Ok first you should take the cactus out? I'm not sure if you have done that yet. That pot doesn't look like the best for cactus:(. You can weave towels cardboard whatever you have around the house to support it when it's laying on its side. You will probably need help. Once the cactus is out you can see what's really goin on. I'm gonna guess all the babies are an attempt of the cactus saving itself because they're all the same size. Sometimes I've noticed not the happiest cactus will do that. Now that your plant is out time to assess what's going on. Hopefully the roots are nice and healthy. If there is rot you need to be a surgeon and cut that mush off. The columns that have rot you can probably still save. Just cut up the column till you find good flesh. Then let callous for a couple weeks or until there is a nice scab on the end. Keep parts that are callousing in a shady dry spot. For this cactus I would get a terra cotta pot only an inch bigger than the one you have. Maybe even the same size considering you may have to cut rotten areas off. Succulents and cactus do not like to swim in their pots. They prefer to be in close quarters. Try to find a peatless cactus mix and if you can get some pumice if not than perlite. Start of mixing a ratio of half cactus mix and then half pumice or perlite. If you have a heavy hand with water than do more pumice/perlite. When you repot plant a little higher in the pot your cactus will thank you. When succulents sit to deep in a pot they become unhappy;). Once everything is in the pot, i'm talking about parts still attached to roots, don't water for at least a couple week. If it were mine I would wait till spring. The cuttings once calloused over plant in a separate pot or the same, but just don't water till roots form. No need to check them every day roots won't pop out for awhile and I mean a month+ don't be shocked if the cuttings take 2 months for roots to form. You will know they will startl ooking better. goodluck:). If I think of anything I will write again I'm sure there is something I let out. Oh ya sun keep away from the scorching sun while your plant is healing. Any questions feel free to ask people on here are very knowledgeable :).
