My extremely dehydrated pothos stems are super weak so i propped them up on a broken lego ship so they could get more sunlight repotted it a few days ago and i cut off the dead leaves, hoping for a quick recovery because this is one of my favorite plants š¤
Bougie is NOT okay, you guys š I don't even know if she's alive. The leaves are pretty dry. She's my mom's bougainvillea, btw.
Looking for advice. I rescued a spider plant from my office kitchen as it looked super sad (see pic in the white/grey pot). I brought it home and repotted (see pic in green pot). I used all new soil that I mixed myself but when I took it out of the grey pot to place in the green pot it had no roots at all. I havenāt watered since putting it in the new pot as I had just watered it at work the same day I brought it home. Should I put her in a smaller pot given she has no roots?? Help.
Inherited a monstera cutting but one leaf is wilting. What should I do?
Recently inherited this plant from a friend, how do I help it? I know the pot is wayyyy too big so I was thinking of adding another monstera or other plants to it, what are yāallās suggestions?
Hey, All! How often, if ever, do you top off the soil for your plant babies? š
Whatās going on with my silver dragon :(
I bought this through the mail and it came to me sick. I tried to trim away the dead parts but it just continues to get worse. Is there anyway I can save it?
Can anyone tell me whatās going on with my pink princess philodendron
Hi, i am a new ish plant parent and have recently got an alocasia dragon scale plant, the first photo is when i got it a week ago and the last few photos are of it now, it is kept on my bathroom window where it has indirect light most of the day and my bathroom is humid, i also mist regularly. Any ideas why its not happy?
My cactus is very sad. Any tips on how to help her?
Hey soo I repotted my monstera 4 weeks ago and the soil is still really wet.. One of the leaves is completely yellow and two are yellowing on the edges Please help.. idk why itās still soaked and I donāt want it to be over watered š¬
Help! Iām a new plant mom and may have gone a little crazy and now Iām overwhelmed. This is a lemon lime maranta. It came to me beautifully, and Iām afraid something is happening. I first noticed leaves curling and then I moved it away from direct sunlight and it seemed to help. Now, this is happening and Iām panicking. How do I save it? Any suggestions? š
Hey! So my Aloe Vera plant got a little too much sun a few weeks ago and has been recovering pretty well, though there's some texture on the leaves where it used to be smooth, a little droopy still, some discoloration, and really squishy on a certain leaf. I just wanted to know if there's anything I can do to help with too much sun?
Iām not sure if I need to cut this leave off. This is my alocasia Jackie, Iāve had her about 3 weeks now and sheās very young. Iām not sure if these marks are debris or something pushing out of her leaves. They appeared to be imbedded two days ago and now they seem to be āemergingā, one of them had either a tail or a dark strand on it and thatās now gone as well. The leave and its stem arenāt as dark as her other one. Cut off or just paranoid?
Is she salvageable? She didnāt have much sun for a while , we donāt get much sunlight in this apartment, so we bought some LED lights. She seemed to not be getting enough water but she looks worse and worse every day and Iām afraid itās too late š Someone please help, she was a special gift to my partner from his mom. Iām afraid that maybe now weāve overwatered her or that she didnāt like her new pot.
Can I get some advice for my bunny ear cactus? The bottom lobes are starting to turn yellow and shrivel. I keep it under a grow light for around 12 hours a day and water maybe once or twice a month. It was repotted about a month ago but it had most of these symptoms before that. Any advice at all is appreciated!
Hi guys! I added a moss pole to my monsterra yesterday because she has been leaning over to one side for years. I thought maybe the moss pole would encourage a growth spurt. My Monsterra is quite old at three years old but she hardly has any holes in the leaves and I think she should be much bigger. What else should I do for her to start flourishing? Iāve never changed her pot also as well as the soil
Hello! So recently got my little scindapsus treubii moonlight and the tips of its leaves are starting to slightly brown. Is this a concern? Anything I should do? Itās in a 2 inch nursery pot, I water it when the soil gets dry but sticking my finger in it feels a bit rooty. My house is usually around 50-60% humidity, itās been isolated since I got it, not around any drafts and I keep it by an east facing window. Thank you!!!
Is my monstera dead and beyond hope or should I keep nursing him back to health?
