Any idea what might be going on with my rubber tree? I’ve got a second of this plant that puts out leaf after leaf but this one hasn’t done anything in weeks. Same care routine and environment. Bo pests. No growing. No dying. Help!

Desperate help. This is a very important plant to me....just a heart leaf philodendron but special meaning. I cut it all back late last summer to give it a hard refresh. Propagated cuttings in water it like I have done a million times. It never bounced back. Alot of my cuttings just rotted. This is what I have left. I put cuttings in very small planters and was trying to Greenhouse them. I have a small amount of mold so I cracked the lids to decrease the humidity some. I have a tiny bit of hope that there are some very baby roots. Tell me how to help them live. I am so mad at myself that I did this. Thanks.

So I woke up this morning and see new growth from my polka dot begonia as fell off. The plant it self is healthy. Anyone know of a reason that has happened?

So my African violet the mama, is dying after 2yrs of having her. But I manage to make more baby out of leave propagacion. It's been a long process let's see if they mature. I just don't know when to remove the big leave. Any ideas.

What is the white clumpy stuff on my peace lily?! Please don’t tell me it’s sick.

New to the plant lifestyle and I have 2 anthuriums that are struggling in my cabinet. I briefly removed them from the cabinet for the purposes of these photos. They are both in little 3 inch nursery pots from the original growers I purchased them from. They have yellowing/browning spots on the tip or edge of the leaves pictured. All other leaves on these plants are unaffected and new leaves continue to sprout on both plants. The environment in my cabinet is 25-29 degrees Celsius. It’s already getting up to the mid 40s in the PNW so I’m doing the best I can to combat that without depleting the humidity indoors. Humidity ranges from 70-80%. There is one 5W barrina LED 5000k full spectrum grow light on each shelf, they are on strict 12 hour timers. The substrate the plants are in is mainly sphagnum moss and perlite, per the original growers. I currently water when the moss gets dry on top but not bone dry throughout, and the plant begins to feel very light when I pick it up. Given the humidity in the cabinets, they’re drying slower than plants of the same size out in our main plant room so watering right now is usually every 4-5 days. In the plant I tagged you can see how the yellowing wasn’t as pronounced a week or so ago but now has spread. I desperately want to understand what is happening so I can resolve the underlying issue. My internet research has been unhelpful and best and contradictory at worst. I’ve tried giving them more light, then I tried less light, then I tried watering less, then I tried increasing the humidity. All to no avail and the spreading continues unabated. I’m sad to watch these otherwise healthy leaves (minor cosmetic damage otherwise) slowly wither away. Any help or insight is appreciated!!!

I’m trying to give my grandma’s corn plant a makeover but am unsure about the best way to do it. I repotted it in a chunky soil mix since it was in a pot of just regular potting soil, watered it, and placed it in front of the brightest windows of my house where my other plants are. My main concern is trying to make it grow straight again like I’ve seen other corn plants doing. I figured my best bet would be to chop it and propagate the chopped parts. I think I could get two propagations from the top and middle. My only question is where the best place to chop it would be? Any suggestions?

My boss brought her orchid to the restaurant because she thought it was dying after flower drop. It was dying, but not for the reason she thought. After seeing it encased in what appeared to be a 1/2 inch layer of blended sphagnum (not pictured) encircling the long sphagnum pictured below, in a pot with a single drainage hole at the bottom, I offered to repot it. The roots were remarkably intact. I soldered holes into the plastic inner pot and repotted in orchid bark. Gonna bring it back to boss lady with proper care instructions this time! (NO MF ICE CUBES)

Any ideas ? One of the stems in my prayer plant has these like dry notches like something was attacking my plant. Is it sick or do I have pest? I can’t find any bugs and none of my other plants seem affected. They all sit on the same shelf.

Peter came to me with some brown tips…do I want to snip to the green part, or will that hurt him?

She lookin rough, but I just clipped these babes off the main mama cause she was long and leggy and saggy, but maybe they will thrive on their own and just be my dr Seuss plant or something. 🫪😵‍💫 🌵

I'm trying to bring my poor ponytail palm back from the brink. I'm worried she has root rot, so I'm planning on getting new soil and a new pot, one that I know has drainage holes (I'm not sure if this one does). Is there any advice you can give me to get her healthy again? I've had her for 12 years and not ready to let her go.

**edit…I added a pick of what Jackson looks like now in hopes that someone can help. I did what Dr. Planta said to do but I can’t tell a difference. Do I just wait and see? How do I recover my plants from fertilizer burn? I took the poor baby out of the dirt and rinsed the roots but I also think my dirt is causing root rot. It’s a whole mess over here 😔 this one got it the worst. There’s no leaves now and the rest is just miserable and ruined. Is it a lost cause?

I’m very new to plants/plant care, I just started with some cuttings that were gifted to me a few weeks ago. My mom was gifted some cuttings around the same time (pictured) and they were a bit neglected, left in water propagating for a few weeks. I rescued them today, two marble queens and a lemon lime philodendron - they look a bit worse for wear. I’ve potted them and watered them, do they look like they’ll make it? I’m pretty confident that the lemon lime will take to being potted well but I’m a bit concerned about the two marble queens 😭

I neglected my Christmas tree until a few weeks ago when I started watering it again, the bottom branches are all brown when cut but the very top is still green, do I just prune back and repot it should I try to propagate a cutting from the top where it is still green?

I need all the help I can get. My Christmas cactus is in need of dire help. She is over 20 years old not sure on specific age. She is wilted and not looking very healthy. If anyone knows what is wrong please let me know!!. As I don’t want to lose her.

i got a macho fern a month or so ago and the leaves keep drying out turning brown and dying, is it just a watering issue or could something else be wrong.

I’ve had this Monstera for about a month now, and the leaves have stayed pretty droopy since I brought it home. I’m only watering when the soil feels dry, and I’ve been adding fertilizer when my plant app tells me to, but it still looks sad and limp. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong or what I can do to help perk it up? Light, watering, humidity, repotting, etc.? I’d appreciate any tips!

This was gifted to me and she keeps growing but she is flat and droopy! I sit her in the sun not DIRECT sunlight all day but she sits in a window and I water her 1-2x a week!
