I left out of town for a week and I have not watered her. A couple of her leaves are dead, but her soil is still really wet. What is wrong with her?

!!HELP!! my flaming katy i got for valentine’s day bloomed then it all seemed to start dying but after repotting and better soil it then bloomed again but a lot less flowering and a lot of leaves have no buds at all anymore. it still has some dead looking parts as well. is there something wrong with it like i don’t know what to do. or maybe it looks perfectly normal to a plant expert unlike myself.

There are the tiniest little white bugs on my arrowhead! I don’t know how they got there I checked my surrounding plants and found no others. I have since taken my plant away from the others and sprayed it down in the sink. She’s now in quarantine, what do I do?

Any ideas what has caused the drooping of my fatsia japonica? I repotted due to rot over a week ago and it has since looked like this. Has not been over watered and has sufficient light throughout the day. Could it be the new soil? How do I save her???😢 Currently has support stands around it but without them is incredibly droopy and basically trailing…

Trying to increase root growth on this money tree it barely has any. Soil mix with perlite and spag moss layers (open to advice and criticism)

Hi everyone! I had a new Pink Princess Philodendron delivered yesterday and when I checked on her today two leaves are half droopy/soft. I did change the soil to a tropical mix of equal parts seramis/perlite/orchid bark. The soil in the pot she came in was soaked. Am I correct in guessing she had a little bit too much water and now just needs to dry out a bit and get use to her new home? Any advice would be amazing as I don’t want to set a record of killing a plant within 24 hours 😂 The full picture is of her yesterday where her leaves seemed alright

Hey guys, I recently started a job at a local gym and our plants are a little odd due to the care they received. Is there anyway I can revive the “bald” spot? Please, any suggestions will help. Thank you.

I got my aloe a couple of weeks ago and she’s on my back deck, south facing. Her color is darkening from the original vibrant green and her leaves feel a little soft, less firm than when she came home. Is it possible she’s getting too much light/sunburned? I watered her yesterday as scheduled- soil was dry. Thanks for any help. 🪴

This new leaf opened a few days ago was sturdy but drooped really badly yesterday. I was going to repot it today but should I wait? Or should I cut it? Or is this normal? I did water it yesterday.

How can i help my ox tongue? I got this from my mom and it sat about 15ft from a west facing window for about 1.5 years. Water maybe once every month or so. Very losely potted during that time, i mean it flopped out when i picked up the pot it was in (poor thing!) I took it cause i want to revive it. But i honestly don’t know where to go from here. The roots were clumped in a little ball, so i put it in a shallow see through plastic dish with drainage holes cause i want to make sure i can keep an eye on it closely. I am top watering it a little but then finishing up with bottom watering to encourage the roots to unclump and spread down! I carefully cleared as much clumped dirt from the roots and they looked good still, just all bundled together. Any one know is going on with the leaves?

I want to know if my cocoon plant is headed in a bad direction… is a little bit of a brown tint normal? She has some shriveled parts but the stem is sturdy so i didn’t remove it. I’m not sure if this is normal or not! Is she too close to the light? Is it burning her? I have her about 16 inches from my LED lights with some plants in between that kinda prove very slight shade. I just got her maybe 2 days ago. Potted in cactus potting mix. Her roots were pretty well established so i bottom fed her until my moist meter said she was sufficiently moist. I’m most curious about the 1 very shriveled and the ones that is dropping, and the tan/brown tint on her.

My mom’s really big succulent died, and this little one was left uprooted out of the soil sitting on the top. I want to keep it alive, but I’m not sure what to do. Do I leave it in a cup of water until it roots a little more? Do I need to put it in soil? It has little tiny roots about the size of rice.

Can anyone tell me why my silver sword philodendron leaves are turning yellow like this?

Hello ! This is my first post here, but my orchid looks very ill and I don’t quite know what’s wrong, she’s been fine for years with no problems at all but over the past few months All I know is, she at least needs a repot

Does anyone know what’s going on with my snake plant? The dirt is wet

I just found a spider mite infestation on my maranta! I use the Arber insecticide to spray her down, but I’m really not sure that’s going to be enough because of how big and jumbled the leaves are on this big guy. Any recommendations on treating and quarantining plants with mites?
