I’m so sad. I got this baby a little over a week ago and it appears she’s still not doing well. I’m assuming it’s a mix of too much water and the shock (cause she was shipped from Florida to Texas). Since taking that photo the top leaf has fallen. I potted in better soil and have put her next to my pink princess philo who also suffered a move from Cali to Texas and didn’t take it well. Hopefully they can bond over their shared trauma any my pinky can talk this sad baby off the edge of death 😭

Plant accident!!! My hanging plant fell today which has never happened before, and unfortunately when it landed the stem broke very close to the top of the vine. I am terrified! I don't want it to die, I propogated it over a year ago and its one of my favorites. Should I cut it and try to propogate the long stem again? Or should I leave it and hope it heals? Help!!

Meet Author. He's such a handsome Philodendron silver sword!! I feel like the world's worst plant mom! Here's another one in the recovery room. I transplanted him on November 24th. He was perfect! Happy, and healthy, and thriving! Just a little too big for his pot. So all I did was transplant him into a new home. I understand that they go through shock. This is 10 Days Later. He's dying from the root up. Any input is welcome. I've moved him to my recovery room. But now he has pests and I don't want them spreading (I have all of my propagations in there as well) so I'm keeping him isolated now. Should I just try to propagate and throw the rest away? Is he a gonner?

One of my crotons completely lost all leaves and its babies:(
I cut the dead off, but what’s left of it still good?
It started acting weird as soon as I put it in one of these self watering plastic pots..
Also, it has mold all in the soil..
Will NOT buy those again, ceramic/terracotta pots is the best!!!

Zone 8b/9a This little Ivy has struggled since the day I met her. She was thriving for a minute but seems to have took a turn since I brought her in. Think I should trim her back? Does this browning look like not enough water or a bacteria?

Please help! I repotted this beauty about 3mo after I brought her home. I potted her in a lovely orchard mix and placed her back in a bright, non-direct sun spot, where she's been loving life! She went from this to this! In less than a week!!! What do I do!?!? Is she a gonner?!?

Okay I’ve had this polka dot plant for like 3 months now and she was great at first and I’m not going to lie I’ve been a bit neglectful since I’ve gotten a kitten but anyways, she started to grow individual vines that went straight up into the air to the point where they couldn’t stand straight up and her roots were sticking up out of the soil, but I have no idea what to do now, she has new growth coming out of the old vines so maybe there’s still hope? Can anyone help me start over?

Hey can anyone tell me what is going on with my golden sedum, it is losing its leaves and I don’t know how to fix it. My pot also doesn’t have any holes at the bottom so how much water do I add

Hey! A couple weeks ago my fiddle leaf fig dropped all of its bottom leaves. I moved it under a grow light and it seems to be doing better now, but will the bottom leaves grow back? Is it possible to cut it and replant?

Hi guys, I repotted this leopard lily about 3 months ago. Ever since, the leaves have become crinkly and drooping. It gets bright indirect light and watered enough. I believe the culprit is the PH being too high (on my meter, it reads at an 8 alkalinity, but dieffenbachias do best closer to a 6) Are these characteristics accurate for PH being off? And if so, what is the quickest way I can make my soil more acidic? Thanks!

Hi! I bought this baby olive tree from a plant store a week ago. They suggested I water once a week and keep out of direct sunlight. The pot has drainage at the bottom.
I’ve watered only once as suggested, but the leaves are drying out and falling off. It looks similar to my lemon tree where the leaves just dry up and fall off due to the Fall season.
Is that what it is or is there another reason why this may be happening? Figured I’d ask on here before changing anything!
Thanks! 🤍

Does anyone have any tips for nursing these plants back to health? I got them from a BST group because they weren’t doing well, and I want to give them a shot. There’s a philodendron ring of fire, philodendron mayoi, and alocasia jacklyn. I will take any help I can get! I’ve repotted them all, but that’s it so far.

How do i save this Ivy? She was beautiful for months, hanging out of my ceiling close to my balcony door that face northeast. Now she looks like that, dry and sad, i would only water when the top was dry, like around every 2 weeks, humidifier in the same room, she has some spider webs? Could be this the issue?
