My pathos plant hasn’t really grown much after having it for a long time, and right now it’s pretty droopy. I just watered it because the soil was pretty dry, it kind of perked up, but still a little sad. What should I do?

Hi I recently bought a mini silver nerve plant and have been following the Planta instructions. Initially it was in a place that had too much light so I’ve moved it. The soil is very damp and now the leaves are limp and shrivelled. It looks likes needs water but the soil isn’t dry. It was in a 8.5 cm pot and I’ve repotted into a bigger pot with more general purpose compost just now. What else should I do? It’s looking very limp and sad. The photos are of it in its new pot.

I found this bird of paradise on the side of the road labeled "FREE". I wouldn't spend my own money on one because I know they're prone to pests but, if it's on the side of the road? Free is free. Please give me any tips and/or tricks you have on saving this thing.

Alright everyone, help me out. I want to give all my plant babies the best chance possible. When it rains, I collect as much rain water as I can because I have a few plants that are water-quality sensitive (venus fly trap for example). I barely get enough rain water for my ultra picky plants, so I guess my question is which plants are totally fine with tap water? I usually filter water through my brita, then leave it out for 24hours because I’ve heard that is helpful, but if I haven’t done that the day before and my plant is thirsty, can I water with straight tap water? (picture added for attention)

What's wrong with my Rosemary? This was gifted to me. Bought from Trader Joe's. I didn't repot when I got it, which was looking beautiful! Was actually more excited about it, than the succulents! 😆 but now she's... sad... is it too cold for her in the porch? Too much light?

Does anyone know this plant name? Are those roots do I have to move it to a bigger pot

My plant is growing however it’s browning at the ends. Not sure what to do other than cut the brown part off.

I was gifted this Peace Lily, and it's been blooming. The old bloom needs to be gone. Do I have to cut it out or will it fall on its own? And if to cut, where?

My draceana is doing quite well, I got it about 2 months ago from lows, and it is still beautiful.

Just got this money tree about 2-3 weeks ago and I’m noticing these spots on the leaves. This is the first money tree I’ve owned so I’m unsure what these are

My friend’s plant needs help I’ve given her advice on pot size and soil makeup. And watering only when completely dry. Anything else I can tell her? She’d really like to save it. It’s a panda plant of some kind. Thanks y’all.

Newbie here! I have to repot my Calla, she's not doing well, do I have to water after giving new soil? She fell during our move, though she's given me 2 babies but roots have darkened, (not the babies' though, those are still green!)
