What to do: 'Thirps' on my arrowhead
Comments (7)I, too, question if they're thrips. Generally anyway, the damage done by thrips is what you notice rather than the pesky little monsters themselves. They are very tiny! But I'm not sure it matters an awful lot what they are if they're doing damage, and if they're not why kill them? Maybe they're just some lonely critters that came in from the cold. Well--I'm not entirely serious about that--as my mother used to say, a bug in the house is a bad bug. Just don't call out the heavy artillery unless you have to. A good shower--water, that is, even in the shower--will often solve the problem, repeated of course. And Neem oil is safe, a point I consider quite important after nearly killing myself with a systemic (really safe stuff--the bug has to bite the plant to be killed, and you won't bite the plant, will you? Wrong!!)...See Morehow can I propagate Gentiana and Cigar Plant
Comments (1)Both plants are ppropagated by see, cuttings (but in water a poor choice) or division. The reason your nasturtium pprobably died because they did not get enough water at the right time.... the chanches are the same will happen with any plant YOU put on the fence.... Also any perennial in a container need extra care to survive the winter SO its best to bury the pot/plant in soil for the winter......See MoreI need advice on propagating my pothos plant
Comments (2)I agree with Sei Ren. A node is a place where leaves join a stem. For pothos, you will get roots at the nodes so the better place to cut is along that stem. Your cuttings will have a "T" at the base of the leaf stem. That T will be where roots will grow. Here's a link that shows how: https://www.easygrohydro.com/pothos-cuttings.html Also, I can't tell for sure based on the angle but it looks like that is a philodendron Brasil not pothos. However, they propagate the same way. Good luck!...See MoreCan I keep my arrowhead plant in water?
Comments (11)You could take cuttings from your now planted syngonium (we call them cat faces as it's easier for us) and put those in water to 'start over' and get more plants. I wait until there is a bit of new growth and a 'joint' where a new face will sprout off--I cut that piece and it roots in water. All of mine are from a long ago in-dirt cat face that I used to have. I kept the rootings in water vases for years, probably like you did and they are happy. I've potted some of them, and they seem happy being in dirt too. I really like this plant as it seems pleased in both mediums and anywhere I put it in the house. It propagates nicely. I like more free plants :) I can't really say that for all my house plants as the house can be quite dark for much of the year. I have a mother in law tongue that is ancient and had one sad sprig. I decided to move it to a sunny room after about ten years and it shot up to many sprigs (needed a larger pot and flowered) and is approaching 5 feet tall. While that's nice, er, um, a bit much in the one sunny room lol. The cat faces are happy in any room of our house, which makes me happy. eta: yours is very pretty and looks nice in it's new hanging pot. I'm sure it will be happy there. Maybe it would be easy enough to put the pot in the sink for a watering once a week? I get it how hanging plants can be a bear to water without making a mess below....See MoreKaren S. (7b, NYC)
