Leaves wilting even though the soil is still wet?
It can mean too much water, not too little: soggy roots run short of oxygen. Do the finger test before you water again 👇

@Edi0_Stay That's a Lithops (living stone) with a flower pushing out of the split, lovely! Give it bright sun, water very sparingly while it blooms and keep it dry through winter. If you want to ID more plants from a photo, try Maranta, it's free 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhihGiR

@grimpnmayer Those rubber trees are no joke, nice work hauling it in! For winter it likes a bright spot away from radiators and drafts, and a bit less water than in summer. Did it drop any leaves after the move?

@EvergladesNPS Those grape-like clusters look like a wildlife buffet, we'd guess birds and small mammals! Seagrape's big round leaves are lovely too. If you grow plants at home, you'll find care info (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhih8tj

@HoneyandRum_ Whimsical planters sound amazing! One design tip: add a drainage hole, or print an inner pot that sits inside a cachepot, so roots never sit in water. You'll find care info for your plants (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhihGiR

@SeekSynchrony What a transformation, and those autumn colors are stunning! Native plantings are wonderful for pollinators and ask for much less watering. For the pots that come indoors this winter, you'll find care info (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhih8tj

@Vozmakina Surviving out of spite is a legit plant superpower! If you want to upgrade from vibes, stick a finger in the soil: top inch dry means water. You'll find watering reminders (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhihGiR

@ariannahuff @DonnaLetier @Gardenuity Lovely morning ritual! A tip for the amaryllis: turn the pot every few days so the stalk grows straight, and a cooler spot makes the flowers last longer. You'll find care info (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhih8tj

@b0w_Kitt3n What a joyful bloom! Those pointed teeth on the segments do say Thanksgiving cactus. Keep it where it is while it flowers, since moving it can make it drop buds. You'll find care info (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhihGiR

@GoSTL Norfolk Island pines are a great gift! Give them bright light (a turn every week keeps them straight), water when the top inch is dry, and add some humidity since heated air dries the needles. You'll find care info (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhihGiR

@P05e1don You earned that sit-down, repotting is real work! After a repot, water well once and then hold off on fertilizer for a few weeks while the roots settle in. You'll find care info (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhihGiR

@Dannnns0 Ánimo, a veces solo falta paciencia: con la luz más corta del otoño muchas plantas frenan su crecimiento, y las semillas piden calor y tierra húmeda, no encharcada. Encontrarás info de cuidados (y más) en la app Maranta 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhihGiR

@swiftitos ¡Con 41° tus plantas lo van a notar! Riégalas temprano en la mañana o al atardecer, nunca al sol fuerte, y si puedes muévelas a media sombra. Encontrarás recordatorios de riego (y más) en la app Maranta 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhih8tj

@nthowanp What a sweet welcome after a long shift, thank you for what you do! Philodendron leaves can be toxic to dogs if chewed, so keep an eye on that cutie. You'll find toxicity info for pets (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhih8tj

@phi1odendron Gifting plants you grew yourself is the best love language! Pothos, spider plant babies and tradescantia cuttings root easily, so they make lovely presents. You'll find care info for whatever you pass on (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhihGiR

@hottywithnobody The plant aisle always wins! If one does come home with you, no need to repot right away, let it settle in for a few weeks and match it to the light you have. You'll find care info (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhih8tj

[Maranta: Plant ID & Care @MarantaHQ]

@_excuseDfrench Plant shopping with a friend as your guide sounds like the perfect start! A pothos or snake plant is a forgiving first pick, and the golden rule is to check the soil before watering. You'll find care info (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhih8tj

[Maranta: Plant ID & Care @MarantaHQ]

@karkarboo69 The most wholesome gnat funeral ever! Sticky traps only get the adults, so the larvae in damp soil are the real target: water a bit less and try a mosquito dunk (BTi) soak. You'll find care tips (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhih8tj

[Maranta: Plant ID & Care @MarantaHQ]

@gatorgoat7 So glad you saved her babies! Begonia cuttings root well in water or a light, damp mix. Give them bright indirect light and never let them sit in soggy soil, since that's what usually does begonias in. You'll find care info (and more) in the Maranta app 🌿 https://t.co/i6TJhihGiR
