Back with another peace lily problem, this time a different one. are these mealy bugs? I had small little dots and cleaned it off with diluted vinegar because I was just cleaning hard water deposits yesterday, but they’re much bigger now. Easy to come off so I’m wondering what they are. Thanks!
I hope I'm doing things right and by the way it's looking I am. Roots are good got three corms and two leaves and a bloom. I don't know if I want to cut the bloom to make it focus on new leaves or just let her bloom.
**Hey everyone!** I could really use some plant wisdom. I have a peace lily that I’m trying to save. I split up the large plant into two separate pots with a mixed soil blend for good drainage, and both pots have drainage holes, so I thought I was doing everything right. But now, all of them have brown and yellow leaves at the tips, and I’m not sure what’s going wrong. I’ve tried caring for peace lilies before, but I’ve never had much luck. If anyone has tips—watering schedules, light preferences, anything—I’d really appreciate it!
Help!!! Jennifer my Calathea has new shoots ups and new leafs ready to unravel but there are crispy ends and 2 leafs now that have died i think. i got her a grow light and a humidifier but they don’t seem to be helping her. Any ideas???
Is this overwatering or under watering?? I snoozed the last water notification because the soil was damp still but now the top is very dry but the rest isn’t super dry…? She is in a south west facing window if that helps as well
Hi! I moved a week ago and my bf (😡) broke my Bird of Paradise!!!! The trunk snapped completely off of the roots, so now all I have is a ball of roots, is there any way to save it? Please help ☹️
Staying alive
I just got this guy yesterday (repotted) too and noticed he was drooping. How can I help it recover from shock faster?
Why do the leaves look like this? It looks like the color is going out of them. It’s not the brown color from being dry.
I recently bought a hydrangea from the store it was on clearance and looked savable. But after repotting it with a 10/90 mix of old soil and new potting soil I noticed it starting to droop. I have watered it not soaking as it was already super wet. It was enough water that the soil is moist, it gets sunlight in the evening hours and morning hours. I’m sure if the flowers should be cut off or some of the stems should be trimmed back. I also added cinnamon to the roots to help with any bacteria or fungus. Any advise is appreciated.
Is the reason my arrowhead plant is super light green and curled up because of humidity? The humidity in my area today is 32% but later the week it’s supposed to be in the 50% and 60%
I checked for root rot, thankfully there was none. So I repotted her and trimmed all the dead stems and leaves. She has perked up and looks happier. Thanks for all your help! I’ll let you know how she progresses. 😊
I need some information on Lavender! I bought it for the benefits of keeping insects away. But it has rained so much, it is wilting. Can anyone give me advice on healing? ❤️🩹
Do I need to prune any of these leaves or anything?
Hi 👋🏻, I received this plant from a friend a few months ago. She divided it and repotted it from her original very healthy plant. She doesn’t know what type of plant it is. It doesn’t seem happy and I’m not sure what to do, any suggestions? How can I save her?
Had this Flaming Katy since December and she lost all her flowers and is yellowing(?). Trying to not over water, recently repotted, and moved closer to my window. Any other suggestions?
Is there any hope for my alocasisa , or should I think about replacing ? Thanks!
Is this blackness on my spider plant caused by overwatering?
What was once a thriving creeping fig became a victim of neglect over the winter (oops). It has come a long way in one month, though! I’ve just moved it to my greenhouse cabinet and am hoping for more new growth to emerge. Time will tell! 🤞🏻
Hi, I recently received a Monstera Albo in the mail and I’m not sure what to do? The leaves look damaged possibly sunburn but I’m not certain. And I just found root rot. And It seems to be in general-purpose soil, and I’ve watered it once with Monstera plant food. I’d really appreciate any help to save it!
