Got this African Violet earlier this week, it seems healthy but the blooms tend to droop? It’s nighttime right now so the leaves are facing downwards instead of outwards like normal, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with that part of the plant. I’ve watered it once with distilled water since I got it because the soil was bone dry. I have a slightly larger pot for it + African Violet soil and fertilizer. I’m going to use this to repot it soon. Does anyone know why it’s doing this? Thx! Quick side note, normally the Violet is in a window getting bright light, but I moved it so I could take this picture.

Hi! I’ve recently checked up on my basil plant and found these spots, I’ve been told they’re from pests and I have no idea what to do to the leaves or how I can prevent this from happening. Can anyone help me out and figure out what this was?

Got this bird of paradise for free is there any hope for it? Any advice

I made multiple posts fairly recently about this plant, but now I just have to make a decision. This mung bean plant had leaf spot disease, I was told to treat it with cinnamon and neem oil… and I’ve never done that before. Let’s just say I did a bit too much. I only sprayed the leaves, not the soil or stems. It’s been like this for about a day. I’ve been regularly rinsing off the leaves. I see some good spots where I could prune it and it would bounce back, but should I give it a little longer to see if it can recover first? And should I keep up my watering schedule with it or just leave it be? I haven’t had an issue like this before and I feel really bad about it.

I've had a Calla lily x past 2-3 yrs. She recently lost all her leaves. My friend said not to worry that she will make a xome back in the spring. Is that something that DOES/ COULD happen? Do I keep watering/fertilizing?

I made a mistake. So my mung bean plant has leaf spot disease, and I applied some cinnamon and neem oil this morning. A few hours later, the leaves were dropping a LOT and I found out I’d applied way too much. I’d also left it in bright lighting which I found out you also shouldn’t do after applying neem oil. I gently rinsed the leaves so they could breathe, and am keeping the plant in a dark room. Is there anything else I can do to help it bounce back? I’m really worried about it and I feel terrible.

Hi there! I got this gorgeous spider plant when I first moved into my new place and it was doing so well! It was very full and had all sorts of little babies—some of which I’ve since propagated. However, I noticed that some of its leaves were turning yellow/brown and dying off. There are also some brown tips on leaves that otherwise appeared quite healthy. And today, I noticed that the leaves are paler/less vibrant than they were. It normally sits on a shelf next to my big window, which faces south-east, and I’ve included some pictures of when I first got it (the first two pictures) versus today for comparison (the last picture). I feel so bad because it was doing really well. I’d love to hear any and all thoughts on what might be the cause of this! Thank you :’)

Can anyone tell me why my Chinese Money plant may be fading in color? It’s leaves used to be so green and vibrant, and now they’re much more dull in hue. Also, they’ve developed spots on them. Any ideas of what could be happening?

Hello Lovies!!! I have 3 plants , one a vine type, one a snake plant, mother of thousands and a ‘normal’ succulent, can anyone recommend good plant pots for them and also soil , anything helps - a new plant mamas Today I discovered mold in my ‘normal’ succulent and I did a quick google search and i immediately switched the soil. What I’m gonna try and do more is opening the window when I can and let fresh air flow in. I doubt that any bugs might fly into my room because of the said window being open. But since I’m never home I don’t wanna come into my room around 10 pm and see bugs alllll over my room. —-> MY BABY PLANTS :) I accidentally overwatered them now I’m letting them dry up, most recent photos of them <3 Also give ur plants words of encouragement!!

Hopefully I didn’t screw up! This plant was just taunting me. I think the pot was FAR too big and it just never looked healthy and at its fullest potential. So… I decided to put them in water in hopes of growing healthier and bigger roots then I’ll repot into something larger. Just looking for some advice on care for this girly and curious if anyone has ever used the “prop drops?” Thanks! 😊

I’m looking for some direction here. I rescue plants all the time but this one is throwing me a curve ball. I’m not 100% sure what to do with it. Should I cut the long stem down? Leave it? How can I help fill out again? I’m so lost on this guy.

Hey, so I know someone who loves plants (she has like 20+) but she really doesn’t have the time to take care of them. I go over to her house at least once a week and we chat and she lets me clean them up a little when needed (which she really appreciates). She wants to keep them alive but just doesn’t have the time to do research on what she has, or do any care other than water them. She tends to treat them all the same when it comes to watering, which doesn’t work out the best lol (she has succulents and pothos and they get watered the same). She seemed to be open to advice, and I was wondering if she can find an efficient way to keep her plants alive? Thanks! 😁
