Should I plant these three wandering Jews altogether? I want a full pot of wandering Jews and just donāt know if a single one will branch off and give me that effect.

Help! My friend sent me plants looking like this to help āreviveā if I can. What can I do to attempt to save these poor things? Assuming heat from their radiator + low sun + too little watering, too much? Any advice is welcome! Thank you!!

Can anyone tell me what this delicate plant is? Itās come back from the dead. Big Leaves are about 3cm x 1cm, it has a soft stem that comes from bulbs? In the last week it has come to life

Hey guys, just wondering if somebody could help me with my Dragon tail plant her leaves have recently starting to go yellow and then they end up dying. What should I do?

I did it again, I found someone elseās garbage to bring home and love on. Welcome to the family, unknown Jane Doe, picked up with literally no tag or id or label of any sorts from a clearance rack floor. If I can make this thing thrive, Iāll be able to save anything.

Iāve never grown plants before and I recently got this mint plant (the glass is temporary I will be moving it to a different pot) and the leaves have been getting brown spots any tips on how I can take care of it better?

What do you think? Did I kill it? I need help first time plant mommyā¦very special to me her names Eve please write me what to do!

Iāve had this random plant for years, and it was thriving and growing wonderfully. Suddenly, seemingly overnight I lost the whole darn thing. Every leaf crisped and crumbled every stem turned to stone and the plant just died, Iāve cut it back Iāve replanted Iāve washed the roots everything I can think of , nothing helping. Iām down to the root ball and what looks like potential growth but hasnāt emerged in months and months of care. Any suggestions? Once this one goes, I donāt even know the name of this beauty or try to find it again.

hi everyone! i need some advice. so iām still pretty new to plants, ive been caring for them for about 2 years now and im still learning everyday. i may have jumped in over my head by getting a thai but im so determined as this is one of my favorite plants. iāve noticed the brown spots on its leaves are spreading. i have it in orchid bark and itās in my brightest window and gets a few hours of dappled sunlight in the afternoon. i repotted it into orchid bark almost two weeks ago and i noticed a lot of its roots were falling off, so i tried my best to pull all the dead roots off and i was left with about 1/3 of its original roots but i put it back in the same pot as i thought my next size down would be too small. what do i do š¢ should i take it out of its pot to check the roots again and downsize or should i just let it be? any advice would be greatly appreciated as no one in my family really does plants and i have no one else to ask š and hearing it from people in my opinion is better then just reading off google. thanks again!

Itās growing back! š¤©š„³ I bought a plant of this variegated Swedish Ivy a couple of months back. Didnāt think and put it straight under a grow light when it arrived. It started to melt and I could only save the tip of it. Itās been sitting in water for weeks now and nothing has happened until the past couple of days! Itās now sprouting roots! š„³š„³š„³ I really thought I had lost it. Iām so happy, because the variegation is quite beautiful in this one. It will live! š¤© See more images in the plant tag.

Hey this is my corn plant I got it from my grandfatherās funeral and before this Iāve never had any plants so this is my first rodeoā¦.i repotted this plant 2 days ago, I believe it could possibly be in shock, but I watered it real good today and I got it inside my home window open so it could have fresh air and sunlight and I think itās trying to come back to me.at least Iām hoping so, I really hope I didnāt kill it. Iām going to post another photo also of what it looked like when it was healthy before I repotted it. Tell me what you guys think?

This guy is *a little* not okay. I once forgot about him for 3 months and he loved it. So sOMeOnE doesnāt like me. Iāve been trying to bring him back to the forgotten stage. I donāt know if heās dead or not.

This is my orchid. I just wanna know how do I go about watering it because the leaves are still green however, the stem where the flower was is no longer there.

What should I do with the broken stem and the browning leaves?

Back with another peace lily problem, this time a different one. are these mealy bugs? I had small little dots and cleaned it off with diluted vinegar because I was just cleaning hard water deposits yesterday, but theyāre much bigger now. Easy to come off so Iām wondering what they are. Thanks!

I hope I'm doing things right and by the way it's looking I am. Roots are good got three corms and two leaves and a bloom. I don't know if I want to cut the bloom to make it focus on new leaves or just let her bloom.

**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!
