Does anyone know what these are on the bottom of my pothos leaves?

I noticed these little bubble things on a couple of my pothos leaves when I was watering it today. I shook the leaf to make sure it wasn’t weird water droplets. My plant has been otherwise healthy. I noticed a cricket looking big in the pot several days ago and safely removed it. Wondering if it’s the bug’s eggs? What do I do to protect my plant and what can I do to prevent in the future? Any help would be appreciated!

Was gifted an airplant, don't know much about them so I stuck it in my viv. Can it survive here long-term?

Title pretty much says it all, was gifted this plant because I like plants. I know you're not supposed to plant them so I just kind of wrapped it's curly bits around a stick that sits in the middle of my bioactive vivarium. Most of the time you see them under trees so I made sure that it's mostly shaded from the lights but I'm not sure if the humidity would be too much. If the humidity in the viv is high enough would I still need to take it out and soak it once a week? It's not exactly what I wanted for the space but it's cool looking and if I can leave it there that would be nice. Any and all information would be much appreciated!

How to care for a Boston fern inside a windowless bathroom?

I recently purchased a Boston fern and placed it in my bathroom because I heard they can help purify the air and absorb humidity. My concern is that my bathroom is completely windowless with no natural light at all. I’m not sure if I made the right purchase or if it will survive in that environment. Has anyone successfully kept a Boston fern in a windowless bathroom with only bathroom lighting?

What a blush and Bloom!

When I purchased this one it was green and regular looking. If I came across this one in the store as it is I immediately would have disregarded it assuming it was another air brushed and likely a flower glued in. It turned into such an unexpectedly beautiful specimen.

Managed to get this gigantic Tillandsia aeranthos for 20€.

I wasn't sure if it's worth it, but in the end I am glad I got it. If you ever visit Leipzig visit their botanical garden, it's oldest one in Germany and they have plenty more airplans.

my big old tillandsia recently has developed a yellowish crown?

the new leaves are incredibly pale/yellow, with the leaves being somewhat flimsy! I've had this guy for about 10 years or more, and its never had something like this, can anyone identify what's happening?

What is wrong with my airplant?

Keeping it inside, in a well lit room, but this flower used to be pink/purple but is now paled. What should I do? I mist the plant lightly every couple days.

Office Air Plants

Office gave us all these air plants. Seems they were bought online in bulk. Can anyone tell me what the name is?

Weekly soaking

This is after my weekly soaking of all my plants. Takes a while to put them all back in their containers!

Bittersweet. My airplant is blooming

My airplant that I have nurtured for many years from a tiny two inches crown to the huge plant it is now is bloming. The spike is like more than three feet tall.

It benefited to be under one of my Vanda orchids, so everytime I feed the orchid some food and water reach it.

It is bittersweet, because I know that after they finish blooming, they release the spores to the wind and die.

Is this pup ready to come off of its parent plant?

This was my first ever airplant that I bought and last year it flowered then in August of last year I noticed this little guy growing on it and I want to remove it but I’m afraid that it might be too small. Has anyone got any advice on if/ when I should remove it please?
