Hi! In short, I'm looking for some help/advice on how to nurture these two plants! I was gifted two plants (both store bought).. One is a small yellow orchid and the other is a black maroon (aglaonema). I went to the QR code sites off the care card for each, sadly they don't have much info. The Orchid I've had for almost two months, and she was doing great until about two weeks ago when the flowers wilted and the leaves started turning yellow/brown, I'm now down to one leaf. Last I watered was just over a week ago. The bottom of the plastic pot still is wet and the bark is slightly damp, so waiting before I water that again. Similar situation with the black maroon, that one quickly dried up (even though I was watering it, so thinking maybe I over watered initially and have been trying to balance that).. I trimmed the completely dead leaves off this morning, and gave it about 1/4 c water. Thinking maybe I need to repot both? I did a lot of research the past couple days, but wanted to post here for some direct advice. Pics are what the plants each look like currently, and gives you an idea of how much light they receive (this room gets a lot of indirect light. Orchid is in the window, which is off a covered porch. Black Maroon is about 4 ft away from the window). Thanks! <3

I'm new to plants and got an Aloe Vera and a Mother of Thousands potted together. They were doing great until they weren't, and I separated them thinking they were competing in the pot. My Aloe is thriving, but my Mother of Thousands has root rot and I know now that I was over watering her. Does anyone recommend propagating her or simply repotting? Or any other suggestions?

I need some help please. I bought this beauty back in July, her name is Fiona. I told them I was a first time plant owner and needed something easy. This is what they sold me. I took it home only to find it infested with pests. I have no idea what kind. It was my 1st plant, I was mortified!! I took it outside, took all the soil out, cleaned off all her roots (no idea if this was right or not), hosed them off, then I repotted her using MiracleGro potting soil and a new eco pot. I water her when Planta says to. Is the soil packed too tight it looks harder than the rest of my plants. That's the only thing i really see. ? She hasn't produced any leaves since I've had her and she drops a leaf about monthly. Her underneath twigs are dry and flaking off. And the underneath of two more leaves are turning brown. Please help me save this beauty!

Anyone have suggestions on bringing back a stromanthe plant that is oddly really healthy on one side and the other side halfway dead? I’ve tried just about everything and I do make sure i rotate since my apt is pretty much half and half with sunlight.

Help please. Got curly about a month ago and have noticed the tips of some of the arms are dying. Is this normal for Drosera capensis? Is it part of the life cycle? Thank you Barbara

Got this Bromeliad today... its roots are dry and hard, it was in coco moss... thats it and it is pale. I took it out of the coco and some of the roots were intertwined in some chucks. I have no clue how to care for these so i put it in a glass of water hoping for new roots. It has some water in the leaves at the bottom leaves. ANY advice on these would be greatly appreciated. TIA

This is my little Shivereana after a pest treatment. 🥲 Do y’all think he’ll make it? I used neem oil, isopropyl alcohol and insecticidal soap. (all diluted but I guess not enough) A bit devastated that this is the plant not doing well.

How go I get rid of fungus gnats for good? I've read countless Reddit posts and articles but nothing seems to do the trick permanently. I use yellow sticky traps, bottom water, water only when my plants let me know they need it (slight wilting, soil dry, etc), and have used mosquito dunks and a natural spray from a local grow shop. The spray works for a bit but as soon as I stop using it I'm infested with gnats again. The yellow traps work for the adults but they aren't stopping the spread. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

So my mini rose Romeo just dried up and I’ve got NO clue why. I’ve been watering him regularly. Is it just cause it’s fall and he’s going dormant???

Do we lose leafs when babies come out? 🤔 I would assume I have to get rid of it cause it's mushy. Do I have to cut it out wait till it happens on its own?

I’m struggling so much to get my ficus moclame to look as it once did. Why has it split into two main branches and how can I get it to look full again? I will do anything to get it back to looking healthy again!
