Not sure if my friend here is a parlor palm or an Areca, but its leaves are suddenly becoming dry almost as if the plant is dying. I’m new to a lot of this, so I’m not sure what could be wrong— The plant is a year old, and being watered every week-week and a half. I checked for spider mites and see none. It’s kept out of direct sunlight and in a temperature about 72 degrees. The leaves are still green when they begin to dry out, and eventually yellow out. I trimmed off the dead leaves hoping that may help, but I’m unsure what I should do next. Any advice? Thank you!

I am looking for advice. I have had this peace lily for maybe 8 months, and it was doing well up until about a month or two ago. I am wondering why it is so sad looking and i was thinking about transferring it to water from soil? Please, any advice is appreciated

My friend asked that I rehab her bird of paradise. I really wanna take it on but have no experience w them. I have several personal plants that are thriving and on the plants care schedule, any suggestions?

hi, my peace lily is down to one leaf because i left it outside in hot weather on accident and the leaf is very droopy and flimsy. The pot is now way to big for the little leaf so I’m wondering if it’s best to repot it into a smaller pot or propagate it in water. Please send advice!

Hi I was on vacation and came back with my Starfish snake plant looking like this. Could my husband overwatered it? Do I cut the brown spots off? Any help please

Hi everyone, my roommate is struggling with her palm- do you think this is just from winter dryness in the air or a bigger problem? It is much more yellow irl the roots look alright and she waters once a week

RIP to my Fairy Castle Cactus. Had her for years and started paying attention to her vs ignoring her and I watered too much. Trying to save pieces to start over.

I posted about my fairy castle cactus a couple months ago. Since then I think she got over watered and was not doing well. I just repotted her (right image) so that I could change the soil and check her roots. I also didn’t want her in an oblong shaped pot because it’s hard to remove. She’s not my favorite to look at as you don’t visually see new growth but she’s done really well. Wishing her well in her new pot!

I ended up removing my African Violets from its pot and getting rid of all of her soil. The self watering pot she was in had been overwatering her and I noticed a bit of root rot (which I cut off.) in addition to that I saw some bugs crawling around in her soil that might of been feeding on her leaves and her roots. I put her in a brand new pot and soil with proper drainage and have her under a grow light. Is there any suggestions on what else I could do to help with the recovering process?

How to get rid of little insects like flying on/over my indoor plants.

🍋🌳-update: It doesn’t look like it’s former glory but it’s alive and look at its new leaves 🤩 All damaged leaves and dead branches are removed, I’ve trimmed it and it got some extra soil on top of the old one to cover the exposed roots. Now I’ll just wait and keep my fingers crossed for it 🤞

What is happening to my leggy echevaria ?! :(( it’s leaves have been falling of over the past few days (about 5) and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want it to die. It has these black dots/patches on most of its leaves

This is my daughter’s pathetic money tree. I’m taking it on as a challenge. It didn’t help that I dropped something on it and broke the only stem. But I taped it up and now it has a bud!
