**Hey everyone!**
I could really use some plant wisdom. I have a peace lily that Iām trying to save. I split up the large plant into two separate pots with a mixed soil blend for good drainage, and both pots have drainage holes, so I thought I was doing everything right. But now, all of them have brown and yellow leaves at the tips, and Iām not sure whatās going wrong.
Iāve tried caring for peace lilies before, but Iāve never had much luck. If anyone has tipsāwatering schedules, light preferences, anythingāIād really appreciate it!

I just got this guy yesterday (repotted) too and noticed he was drooping. How can I help it recover from shock faster?

Why do the leaves look like this? It looks like the color is going out of them. Itās not the brown color from being dry.

I recently bought a hydrangea from the store it was on clearance and looked savable. But after repotting it with a 10/90 mix of old soil and new potting soil I noticed it starting to droop. I have watered it not soaking as it was already super wet. It was enough water that the soil is moist, it gets sunlight in the evening hours and morning hours. Iām sure if the flowers should be cut off or some of the stems should be trimmed back. I also added cinnamon to the roots to help with any bacteria or fungus.
Any advise is appreciated.

Is the reason my arrowhead plant is super light green and curled up because of humidity? The humidity in my area today is 32% but later the week itās supposed to be in the 50% and 60%

I checked for root rot, thankfully there was none. So I repotted her and trimmed all the dead stems and leaves. She has perked up and looks happier. Thanks for all your help! Iāll let you know how she progresses. š
Do I need to prune any of these leaves or anything?

Is this blackness on my spider plant caused by overwatering?
What was once a thriving creeping fig became a victim of neglect over the winter (oops). It has come a long way in one month, though! Iāve just moved it to my greenhouse cabinet and am hoping for more new growth to emerge. Time will tell! š¤š»

Hi, I recently received a Monstera Albo in the mail and Iām not sure what to do? The leaves look damaged possibly sunburn but Iām not certain. And I just found root rot. And It seems to be in general-purpose soil, and Iāve watered it once with Monstera plant food. Iād really appreciate any help to save it!

Hi,
We moved and now there is only one North facing sliding door for sunlight and it has shade most of the day, I have brought āgrowā lights to give extra light but Daphne, my Thanksgiving Cactus, has begun to get a few purple color leaves, so I change light spectrum & moved her so she getās not so much light, Iām just at a loss w/all my plants b/c I donāt know how to get them the kind of light they need. I also re-potted her b/c her roots were coming through the root hole in first pot.

This was my grandmas plant on my momās side of the family, she had it for 8+ years. It was a gift that my dad bought her when she was in the hospital for chemo (not to be tmi but my parents are now divorced so itās a semi-good memory of them being together and when my grandma was fighting for herself and made it at this time). It was in a room with little sunlight, a HUGE pot with no drainage soaked in water, and extremely dusty. It was beautiful though! Little to no problems when she was caring for it. She passed away last march and I took it home and thought I was doing a good thing by putting it in a new smaller pot with new freshened soilā¦. it most definitely does NOT like me. Iām really stressed obviously with the small story behind it and iām really hoping it does not die under my care so please, ANY tips or tricks on how to save it or what iām doing wrong is greatly appreciated. Itās located on my balcony with indirect light north facing.
