Need some advice on this calathea beauty star! I can never make it happy. I have two humidifier s going next to it, it’s about 8 feet from a south facing window. It has new growth but they always end up having tan, translucent spots (shown in third photo). I really want to revive it and make it happy. What can i do?
I saw these extremely small white bugs crawling on the leaves of my palant. I misted and wiped the leaves clean. How do I prevent these from killing my plant? Parlour Palm Tree
Hi, My friend just gave me this calathea that needs some tlc. It was thriving over the summers when outdoors, but has been downhill since coming inside for the winter. She’s been watering with tap water, so thinking the hard water is part of the problem and lack of humidity. Also planning to repot as it’s been a year or so. If anyone has other suggestions would love a second opinion! Thanks!
Wow! I think this counts as a makeover. The first photo is September ’24 and the others were taken today. Keeping this plant in a jar is the best advice I’ve received for it so far! The roots are growing out of the bottom of the pot!
Cold Damaged Zig Zag / Ric Rac Cactus- Hi! I received a mail order zig zag / ric rac cactus that looks bleak from exposure to cold temps in shipping. The company replaced it and let me keep the bleak one. Can I expect that this one will eventually bounce back with TLC? Anything special I should do to aid it’s recovery?
I feel like there is no hope for my ZZ. You can see from the pictures, it started out larger and more lush, but I have to keep removing the dying leaves. It’s so tiny now. I keep it with partial light and water it about once a week, or when the soil is dry. What am I doing wrong?
Hi everyone. I have a parlour palm that is not looking it's best. I am not sure what is wrong. I water correctly, not too much light, but enough. It has drainage and misted. Any help would be appreciated Trish
was given this plant a while ago and repotted etc but the leaves still aren’t happy not sure what to do, should i chop the browning leaves off? Also not sure what the plant is
Not sure where to put these two plants. Both do not do well with direct sunlight near large south facing window. Any recommendations?
my ‘rubber plant’ Tineke has roots growing i’ve never seen before, do these plants grow aerial roots or do i need to cover these with more soil?
My prayer plant is curling leaves. Help!
My coffee plant has had yellowing and crispy bottom leaves, presumably from lack of humidity, for a while. My MIL took care of it over the summer and condition worsened. New growth is growing from the top, but the bottom leaves continue to crisp and drop even after pruning and daily misting. Any advice to bounce this guy back?
What kind of pests or insects are chewing the leaves. How do I solve this.
I need some opinions. Last week I was late to watering my rosemary here, normally it perks right back up after watering and misting but it didn’t this time so I figured maybe I was way too late. Then, I checked the bottom and saw some roots peeking out and wondered if it was actually getting pot bound? It’s a few months too early to repot according to Planta. Should I just keep up with the watering/misting schedule and hold off on repotting or would it be better to repot sooner rather than later? Much appreciated 💚
How can I get my Aloe plant to produce new stems? Do I need to cut back on ones she does have? I know you can cut open the stems and use them for body gel. When can I do that?
can I save this overwatered [?] snake plant? x.x
