my pothos cuttings have been sitting in water for six weeks and the roots are getting really long, like 15cm. everyone says to pot them up but i am scared they will die in soil after living in water this long. when is the right moment to move them?

every single new calathea leaf unrolls beautifully and then gets crispy brown edges within two weeks. i mist it daily, it sits in a bright bathroom, i use tap water. people keep telling me different things — what actually causes the crispy edges?

i repotted my snake plant last weekend and now two leaves are going soft and wrinkly at the same time. i watered it right after repotting like you are supposed to with other plants. did i just do the one thing you should never do to a snake plant?

my monstera is two years old and still has zero splits in the leaves. it grows a new leaf every month but they all come out solid, no holes. it sits in a corner about 3m from the window. do i just need to wait longer or is something wrong?
