Wow! I think this counts as a makeover. The first photo is September ’24 and the others were taken today. Keeping this plant in a jar is the best advice I’ve received for it so far! The roots are growing out of the bottom of the pot!

Cold Damaged Zig Zag / Ric Rac Cactus- Hi! I received a mail order zig zag / ric rac cactus that looks bleak from exposure to cold temps in shipping. The company replaced it and let me keep the bleak one. Can I expect that this one will eventually bounce back with TLC? Anything special I should do to aid it’s recovery?

I feel like there is no hope for my ZZ. You can see from the pictures, it started out larger and more lush, but I have to keep removing the dying leaves. It’s so tiny now. I keep it with partial light and water it about once a week, or when the soil is dry. What am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone. I have a parlour palm that is not looking it's best. I am not sure what is wrong. I water correctly, not too much light, but enough. It has drainage and misted. Any help would be appreciated Trish

Not sure where to put these two plants. Both do not do well with direct sunlight near large south facing window. Any recommendations?

my ‘rubber plant’ Tineke has roots growing i’ve never seen before, do these plants grow aerial roots or do i need to cover these with more soil?

My coffee plant has had yellowing and crispy bottom leaves, presumably from lack of humidity, for a while. My MIL took care of it over the summer and condition worsened. New growth is growing from the top, but the bottom leaves continue to crisp and drop even after pruning and daily misting. Any advice to bounce this guy back?

What kind of pests or insects are chewing the leaves. How do I solve this.

I need some opinions. Last week I was late to watering my rosemary here, normally it perks right back up after watering and misting but it didn’t this time so I figured maybe I was way too late. Then, I checked the bottom and saw some roots peeking out and wondered if it was actually getting pot bound? It’s a few months too early to repot according to Planta. Should I just keep up with the watering/misting schedule and hold off on repotting or would it be better to repot sooner rather than later? Much appreciated 💚

How can I get my Aloe plant to produce new stems? Do I need to cut back on ones she does have? I know you can cut open the stems and use them for body gel. When can I do that?

I’m worried about my cylinder snake plant because since I got it, it has not changed no growth, no dying, no roots nothing. Does anyone know what’s happening and how I can help. Any advice is appreciated thank you. :)

What can I do to fix this? 😭 My mom gave it to me and said to water it weekly, so I did. Then people on Reddit said it is over watered so I stopped watering. Last watering was about December 17th. It was getting almost no sunlight from the time I got it to December 12th, then I got a grow light that I keep on. I don’t know what duration or brightness to use, so i just kinda change it randomly. Pic labeled “today” is from 6 days ago, unlabeled pic is from today. TIA!!

Cross posting: How would you rehab this fiddle leaf fig that my sister gave me? Would you try to chop + propogate? It was really neglected for a while.

Does anyone have any realistic suggestions regarding what I can do during the winter for my plant's health? I live in New York and my older house can be chilly and dry when it’s cold out, regardless of having the heat on (it sucks for me, too!) I’ve tried a humidifier but it only made it colder and didn’t help my plants overall :(
