My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Long stem

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

I have a large plant with unhealthy and missing leaves on the bottom stem. Can I cut away the empty stem and repot the plant?

    It looks like it needs more light, much more light - the leaves are floppy from lack of it.
