" my name is Lavendel, and I was infested by mealy bugs and then dropped on my head upside down from window sill height 3 times. After vigorous soakings with neem spritz and water spritzing, I remain happy in isolation in the bedroom east window sill, unbothered by dark gloomy fall."

i was gifted this fiddle leaf fig, and although some new growth looks somewhat healthy, will it ever grow leaves back from where they cut them all off?

I have 3 or 4 kalanchoe plants and for some reason two have gotten powdery mildew while I’m off at school. My mom is taking care of them and I don’t know why they’re getting sick. By the time I saw the plants again the two sick ones were beyond saving. It has only happened to this specific type of plant too. How to I treat powdery mildew effectively in the future because this is the first time I have dealt with it. Also how do I prevent it from spreading plant to plant?

I recently saved this Peace Lily around three weeks ago, but she doesn’t seem to be perking back up. What would be the next best steps to help save her? Thank you!

Ok plant peeps, what’s going on here? This is my friend’s plant and these spots seem to now be spreading into the green when them were just in the white, we assumed it was the normal beginnings of the fade because she hasn’t stared to use silica yet but now it’s got us stumped

I’m new to planting & need help. I was gifted some beautiful spider plants & would love any tips on getting them back healthy & maintenance. Thank you.

Friendly reminder not to use dehumidifier water to water your plants :) my once magnificent dieffenbachia was dropping leaves constantly until I realized and switched to distilled (before and after “poison” water 😭)

One of the leaves on my Chinese money plant has gone all yellow and sickly looking. All the other leaves are healthy and green and glossy. Planta says it might be under watering, but that doesn’t make any sense if it’s just the one leaf. Any ideas? (The brown spots/holes are from my cat chomping on it over a month ago :P)

Been wondering why the cat palm in my hubbies office has been struggling….. 🤦♀️

Im growing some golden pothos in water and recently some of them have grown these weird bumps on their roots, anyone know what’s happening and if its something not good?

Why is it going funny! It’s in a bright spot and I water rarely when soils fully dry

I took this poor guy from my boyfriend to save it. It’s a boobie cactus. Please help. It used to be in shaded area, potted in sand. The root looks ok, albeit dry.

Cat palm has been struggling. Realized it was sitting in water (only for a few days) so drained that off but I tried to clear off some dried out old stuff and a few of the stalks that had some browning also had this white fuzz under the old sheaf. Is that mold/fungus? I can say for sure it wasn’t mealy bugs. I trimmed off the two offending stalks and have plans to check for root rot this week, but anyone suggestions from anyone who has seen similar?

Hi folks, I bought a bunch of very sorry looking plants at half price yesterday, whoever looks after them in that branch of B&Q clearly doesn't know what they're doing! Ironically the one plant that I paid full price for might be in the worst state of all, its a string of hearts and it looked good on top but when I pulled the pot out I saw this at the bottom! Do you think this is mold or a horrid pest? I haven't had the chance to pull the plant out and check the roots properly. I just hastily shoved it outside on the porch for the time being.

Hi Everyone! My False Shamrock bush was amazing at first during summer just gone. Now that light levels have dropped a little etc I have been supplementing with a grow light. Unfortunately I've noticed that the leggy-ness has continued and the stems have bent in a odd way leaving the plant to appear almost bald even during the day. I've heard that the only way to bring them back is by fully cutting them back and regrowing however I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this before and how best did they overcome it?

I picked this beauty up from Home Depot and she has a break down the center of her biggest leaf. I’m wondering if it will continue to grow or if I should just snip it. Thoughts?

This little lady has certainly seen quite the rebound in the year I’ve had her! Gifted to me as babies with no drainage, neglected to the brink of death, and now large, flourishing, and (true to the name) a mother of thousands of little babies. Now its just a question of if i want to repeat the cycle to raise up her babies from scratch again! I invite you to scroll through the pictures in the tagged plant to see the progress over the year 😁 it was rough at times

Hello, trying to figure out why my spider plant has some leaf that are bent or look to heavy to hold up!
