Is it cilantro? Looks like it and that's part of the same family.

Just wanted to pop back in to share the results of your advice on my pothos. I took a leaf and stem that looked healthy and repotted in the magical garden soil. It’s now up to four leaves and looks great. The parent plant I trimmed off about a third of the leaves that looked weird and watered with rainwater. It’s still looking not great. So I wonder if there is some kind of disease or insect on the parent? I think I may ditch the older plant and keep the offspring one…

When was the last time the parent was repotted? Usually I repot and give a little shake of this crap, keeps most things looking good (lasts forever sitting on the shelf), even if you only put a little bit on once a year...Oh wait, not sure if you can get this in EU area.
@Jacinda Ardern IRL 'BzzzzzT!' No, not cilantro.

The parent was bought new at the time and so it should have been ok I think. I will give it a repot maybe in the spring, things are a little cold and murky here just now and plants don’t like being messed with in our winters

Just bought my first air plant, tilisandia, at my local Lowes. Fortunately, they had some standalone that weren't being suffocated in a baggie or superglued to a tacky figure. Dunked it in water for an hour. Dried upside down. It's looking much more healthy despite the bent leaf. Currently resides in bathroom next to south-facing window, sitting on top of 15-yr-old devil's ivy fren.

Good luck! Post updates on how it's going! So far I have a 50% fatality rate with my air plants, so I need help improving.

You can sterilize earth by steaming or baking it at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. You can also pull the plant, scrub all earth from the roots, and replant. Pothos is very hardy and forgiving, and very communicative. Mine will droop and the leaves feel less crisp when it wants water, for example. If you can’t salvage it, your new plant will probably put our leaves soon that you can start another plant with.

I tried to overwinter some coleus on my regular old plant racks with standard LED growlights.
They died.
Will buy more in the spring I guess.

My suicidal echeveria decided to bloom in the middle of winter, and although it pleases me and it looks beautiful, I'm torn: should I leave it on a cold windowsill so that it gets more light or move it deeper into the house to make it warmer, the opinion of gardening experts?

Why tho? Do you add bacteria back in after baking?

Some sources of soil seem inoculated with fungus gnats (or other undesirable insectoid) ... is why people near me have baked soil, before using as indoor potting mix. Adding beneficial microbes afterwards is nice, but not always necessary.

People underestimate how powerful LED grow lights are, I think you need a hydroponics setup if you're using those things. Not to mention in the winter you have less humidity in the house. Blasting it with too much light and dry air RIP. Alternatively, you can raise the light a lot higher than you normally would, and see if that makes a difference in the future. Personally I think a cheap T40 would be a better bet, cheaper fixture, a little more on electricity, but it evens out.
I wish I could just recreate the sun indoors with LED grow lights and have it work, but it doesn't. The indoor farms actually push more CO2 into the air when they are using those high powered LEDs on top of everything else.
I'd leave it where it is, it obviously liked the conditions enough to flower. I'd listen to the plant in this case. Looks cool, like a flower tentacle.
Your parsley looks really good, you should dry some through the growing season. Clip the stems close (including the little ones closer to the leaf) then just put it on some paper towel in a dark place with bit of airflow, and wait till they are crisp before jarring them. I prefer this method over hanging the whole bunch, letting it dry, and then crunching the leaves into a jar, because the leaves stay un-molested this way, and intact until you need to use it. This keeps essential oils from getting out of the damaged leaves which means, better flavor, and lasts much longer as a whole leaf. Granted it can be tedious cutting all the little stems, but so worth it.

Winter storm back in December thrashed all of my things. I lost a lot if not 99% of my plants that i didnt rush inside. Even some of my spring bulbs got hit pretty bad on the count of they were coming up since i was so warm before. Do you all think i can save a few of them still? I believe my Kimberly and Boston ferns will come back but idk about my others.

Veggies, herbs, cacti are my specialty. Some tropicals, too. Be happy to offer experience-based advice to anyone. I'm in AZ. I love airplants and bromeliads but AZ doesn't. My brother in Baltimore has a fantastic collection of them from around the world. Some pics....

I have an ID question, if anyone knows. I think I said this earlier, but most of my plants are cuttings from little old ladies who delight in gifting lil’ bits to anyone who seems interested. This was one such plant, and probably the third distinct plant that the owner ID’d as “Monster Plant” when asked what it was.
Any ideas what this is? I think it’s in the bromeliad family, but I haven’t seen a flower yet, and I can’t find anything that looks like it by typing variations of “houseplant bromeliad” into google.

Looks like a basket plant/golden tendril (Callisia fragrans). Also the internet tells me they're medicinal, which I did not know.
