I received this succulent as a gift and I was unsure of what to do with it so I placed it outside in a very sunny spot. I was wrong it almost died on me and lost all of it's color. I looked up where to properly place it and since I brought it in and put it in a sunny window I see a big difference with it's health and especially it's color.

Hi can someone help me what’s going on with my Venus fly trap

Help my money tree 😭 the tips of the leaf are getting brown and dying. I repotted not too long ago. Put low acid coffee grounds on top of the soil and the pot has drainage, so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I have a grow light on it rn. Any tips would be appreciated! 😊

I've got this poor corn plant I just bought that's browning at the leaves. Humidity in the room is 60%, and I'm not overwatering. Wonder if it's lime in my tap water. A month ago I started using a dechlorinator made for plants but it's not getting better. (I know lime is made up of calcium but I hoped that perhaps it was chlorine sensitivity or that the dechlorinator also targeted other minerals). Any thoughts appreciated :)

UPDATE: my baby pothos has perked back up after repotting! Might lose a leaf or two, but he’s much happier now that he’s dried out some :)

my little pothos was showing signs of overwatering so i gave it some new soil and i’m hoping it perks up :( makes me sad to see it so weak and droopy. it’s in a warm spot with partial sun and fresh dry soil. anybody have any other tips?

Little cutting my friend gave me with other plants, doing very nicely, and has even made a spider friend! You can barely see the webs just above the lowest two leaves.

Got this poor lady from Kroger today, for 99 cents… diagnosis was under watering. I have taken the dried leaves off, pruned the dead stems and pruned some of the dead flower stems. I added more soil, watered and put her under a grow light…. Any other suggestions?

So inherited this plant from my friend who moved away. It was almost 10 ft tall and no branches. So I chopped some of the top off and moved it by the window, now it’s growing a lot of little bulbs. Would it be better to chop this in half and let it branch? Cause it seems like it’s branching from the top first.

I transitioned my button fern inside yesterday for fall/winter. He was looking shriveled from the summer heat, so I watered him and put him in a clear plastic bag for 24 hours. He perked right up!

So… I snapped my Monstera Deliciosa stem. I was in the process of re-attaching it to a stake so it could grow up ur rather than along, and didn’t realise how delicate it is! I don’t have pictures of the actual break, but the first picture is how I’ve taped it together as per some internet advice. Has this happened to anyone? Is there any hope? At what point should I give it up and take cuttings? The second picture is the stem, I’ve got some good nodes/aerial roots. Any advice is welcome!

Hi all, hoping for some help. This is Chandler Bing-Tree. I've had him for about 25 years. For most of that time my parents have looked after him, but then I moved him to my new place and what was once a healthy bushy tree is now semi bald and in a bad way. I over watered, realised my mistake and repotted but ao far there no sign of any recovery. Can anyone give me any advice please? Thanks in advance

hi guys i think i need help, my bamboo has been doing fine up until i opened the window it’s in front of, im worried maybe she’s getting too much direct sunlight, i also have given her a small amount of blood meal based on someone’s word previously for her bleached leaves

Hello - We have a ficus tree given to us by my FIL that he grew from a seedling and is now almost 40 years old! It’s been looking very rough over the past year with progressive loss of leaves and fullness. The leaves tend dry up and fall off, but it also drops healthy looking green leaves. There isn’t much natural light in the room so we have a grow light and try to rotate the plant regularly to provide even coverage. The lamp is on 9 hour daily timer. I’ve tried longer/shorter periods of light with varying intensities. It’s potted in a plastic container with drainage holes and there are rocks on top. I’ve tried more/less frequent watering intervals. I’ve tried misting the leaves. There is no direct air/heat on the plant. Any advice would be greatly appreciated to help rescue this old family tree! Thanks!
