Hi all! 🌷 I was gifted this tulip plant for Valentine’s Day. They bloomed, their flowers opened, and the petals already fell off. I read that in order to keep the tulips healthy, I would need to cut the bulbs off, but when I did, the plant started looking pretty rough a few days after. I really wanted to keep the plant alive, so I’m not sure what I can do to save it. I’m not sure if this is due to overwatering, me cutting off the bulbs, or maybe the pot that it came in is too small.
Any insight would be so helpful so I know what to do in the future!:) Thank you! 🌱

Now this made me so excited 😌
I bought this very sick silver dragon to practice bringing plants back to life.
Not only are the stems getting their color back and not only have I found my first corm ever from this very plant as well as having another one almost developed but I’m super excited to see growth coming from within. I guess I’m a little better at this stuff than I thought 🖤

I think it’s safe to say my swish cheese I bought sick to see if I can bring it back is now thriving with new growth but I love how it’s shedding all the dead foliage

I need to repot my peace lily, what kind of soil & drainage should I be looking for? I suspect it may have root rot which is why I’m repotting. It’s so sad right now ☹️

I transplanted my bonsai a little earlier than I should have, and it’s leaves are turning brown and dying. Any suggestions?

Hey everyone! I’m new to the depths of plant life and I picked up this guy from target and want to try and get rid of his leaf yellowing. Any advice? Got him a couple days ago☺️

So, my roommate has this “plumeria tree”, but it’s not doing so hot. Right now it just looks like a stick in a pot, but I want to try and save it!
The plant (stick) is facing the south on the roofed patio. It gets part sun, part shade. I’m not sure how well my roommate takes care of her plants but if it’s anything like the dishes, it’s not a lot…
I repotted, watered, and fertilized it last night, but what else should I do??

Confusing damage on Cebu Blue
I’ve maybe had this Cebu for six weeks, and it’s put out a few new leaves recently. I don’t see any pests, but a couple of the newer leaves and one older one are missing chunks. Is something microscopic eating it, or can this be the result of a nutrient issue?

Can someone give me some advice with my jade? It’s been like this for a while. I’ve reported it into faster draining soil and increased the amount of light it’s getting (hence the grow light in the back) but it just keeps getting worse 😭. Any tips at all would be appreciated!

Can this lavender be saved? Or can I propagate the little green stem?

Will this plant survive 🥲 I’ve never dealt with root rot before. I’ve had it potted in too big of a pot and here we are. This is a variegated spider for anyone wondering. I’m worried about the crown..

I just got this baby today as a rescue. He was SUUUUUUUPER crunchy and some of his bottom leaves were falling off. I JUST finished watering him, any tips to help with recovery?

My Fiddle Leaf Fig has seen better days.

Hey! My sedum burrito plant keeps losing the ‘leaves’? and it developing bare patches. Does anyone know what this means or how I can help it?

Hi guys, I just bought my first VFT and was wondering if y'all could spare some tips to help take care of it! Like food options, light, cutting dead leaves, etc. anything!
also what does 'dormant' mean??

Help Please! I’m kinda freaking out my baby has black thrips! I’ve never had pests before and I’m not sure how to deal with it.

CALLING ALL PEACE LILY EXPERTS: can i do anything for her? i think it got over fertilized and i tried a month ago or a little more to saturate the soil a few times to try to remove the excess as the pot does not have drainage. I have been watering a little here and there since then, I don’t want to lose it but already lost the other two I separated from this plant. Feeling kinda like it might be a lot cause more or less and an opportunity for a new plant, but I am still a bit attached :/

What’s wrong with my satin pothos? The leaves are droopy and several turned bright yellow. It was happy until recently but several days ago it seemed to take a turn for the worst!
Lizzy
If I pinch off the leaves of this geranium, will it grow new ones closer to the base?
I read on Reddit that would work to help it branch out a bit, but I wanted to get other opinions before I tried it.
Thanks in advance 🙏

I found this pink princess at Walmart with many dead leaves and it way too over watered! I repotted in a nicer soil and trimmed off the dead leaves. I then places her under a grow light with a humidifier. If you have any advice on how to help my little princess recover please share!
