Hi! I’m new to the plant world and need help ASAP 😭 For info I’m a cat mom who has cats that like to munch on plants. I live in a 500-600 square foot studio so I can’t separate them from Cashidy. Cashidy is a money tree that I just got on Tuesday and my cats munched away while I was at work on Wednesday and Tuesday night. I’ve read that money trees are indoor plants so I’ve been hesitant on putting her outside. Point being, how do I help her back to being healthy and happy with my plant eating cats around? Those are before and after pictures.

Accidentally over watered my crocodile fern it’s been 2 weeks since I’ve watered it and the soil is still wet. I’ve been draining all excess water from the bottom, what can I do to dry it up a little more? She’s slowly dying. She was gifted to me, but I am a beginner (first plant)

We had guests staying in our house while we were gone all spring break, i came back and my baby looked sick, I’ve been trying to revive him for the past month and honestly he just looks worse ☹️. Idk what they did (maybe over watering/under watering), and how to help him. I’ve had him for almost two years now and had no problems until now. Help.

Hey there! Being on a third floor balcony is great b/c I get lots of direct sunlight. Unfortunately, I’ve learned that it also means my plants get scorched on the hottest days. I’ll post one pic to show my patio before and after ‘The Great Scorch’ (aka mid-late June). Anyone think my creeping phlox will recover? All advice welcome! Ha!
