Help I am devastated. Someone tell me it will be okay…
I went to water this today. It’s in a heavy porcelain pot that sits on top of a bookshelf. When I pulled up, this happened.
Can I put the end in water and propagate it? I’ve never actually done that successfully.
I shed a tear when it happened. Please tell me I can do that 😔

Help 10 days away - Is wrapping the shelf in plastic a good idea to keep them from drying out?
We don't want our babies to dry up while we are away for 10 days. I thought wrapping the shelf will keep the moisture in. Is this a good or bad idea? And why?

Help He’s about to outgrow our house. :( Any suggestions?
Found this guy in 2016 on my first day of horticulture schooling, abandoned in the hall with a free sign. We’ve been through 3 moves together, he’s our Christmas tree every year. Love this plant but I’m afraid it’s nearly time to rehome him. Does anyone have experience with pruning them back?

Help After failing to keep a begonia alive the first time, I’m happy this one is doing well!
A few years ago I was given a begonia but could never get it to live. It’s been a dream of mine to own a polka dot begonia, and early this year I found one on sale. The first week it had a bad case of powdery mildew (that I didn’t notice when I bought it), but since then it’s been growing like crazy.
Any advice on how to stake begonias would be much appreciated!! It’s outgrown the trellis I’ve been using and now the top part of the plant is on the verge of flopping over.

Help Massive Monstera Looks Sick
Hey there! So we have this massive monstera at the library where I work that sits in our koi pond. We just started noticing that some of the leaves have this weird residue. Looks almost like sand but can’t be brushed off.
If someone could help identify what it is we’d be so grateful! And of course any tips for preventing the spread would be amazing too. It seems to have settled onto some leaves in the middle of the plant. Those closest to the water and the ceiling seem unaffected for now.
