Starting with your arrows, these are looking great - you've drawn them with a great deal of confidence, which helps you to convey how they move through space. This carries over fairly well into your leaves, where you're capturing not only how they sit statically in space, but also how they move through the space they occupy.
You're also handling the build up of more complex edge detail well, in that you're adhering closely to the existing structure and maintaining tight relationships between what's already there and what you're adding. That said, I can see that there are places where you attempt to zigzag the same stroke continuously, rather than building them up with individual strokes as explained here. Make sure each bump is built up separately, and that you're careful with your linework - any gaps or overshoots can undermine the impression that we're looking at a single cohesive structure, and not a bunch of loosely related lines on a flat page.
Your work on the branches is coming along well, though there are two things to keep in mind:
Firstly, make sure you are consistently extending your edge segments fully halfway to the next ellipse, and not accidentally starting the next segment too far down. As shown here, each stroke starts at an ellipse, goes past the next, and stops halfway to the next one. This allows for a healthy overlap which helps achieve a smoother, more seamless transition from one to the next.
Right now those ellipses appear to maintain the same degree as you slide along the length of the form - as explained back in lesson 1's ellipse video, the degree of those cross-sections get wider as we look farther back.
Continuing onto your plant constructions, as a whole you've done a pretty good job. You're building up your constructions step by step, and you're not afraid to draw each and every form in its entirety, even as they overlap one another. You're continuing to build up the petals with a focus on how they flow through space as well. I have just a few recommendations for you to keep in mind:
The most notable issue I see isn't one of construction, but more of a presentation concern - don't use those areas of filled black for anything other than cast shadows. Right now it seems like you are, for stylistic reasons, filling in some of the negative space between the constructed forms with solid black. Within this course, I want you to stay away from this approach in general. You may have felt this was actually included in the potato plant demo, so that might be why you went down that path, but that's a misunderstanding. The areas that were filled in with black were done so because the foliage was so dense that the ground beneath it would have been completely covered in shadow. This is given greater context by having the other petals themselves cast shadows towards the end, as shown here. Without that context, it would read incorrectly. In general the viewer's eyes will try to interpret filled black shapes as cast shadows, so that's what we should lean into wherever possible, refraining from using them for anything else.
When constructing flower pots - specifically cylindrical ones - be sure to build them up around a central minor axis line. This will help you keep those various ellipses aligned to one another. Also be sure to execute those ellipses using the ghosting method, and drawing from your shoulder, to help keep them as evenly shaped as possible.
Aside from that, you're doing great. I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete, so keep up the good work.

Feel free to move onto lesson 4.
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
