My gardenia has been slowly dying. Now I see why. There are bugs all over the inside of the container. What can I do. Is it too late. Just last week took it to a nursery that said it just needed fertilizer. I fertilized and now see lots of bugs. y
Should I repot? Peace lilly that’s been in a nursery pot since I got it three months ago.
So proud of Elmer, my Chinese Elm bonsai!!! I overwatered him to start our journey and he dropped a bunch of leaves! Fertilizer and a better watering routine (and, of course spring) have helped immensely!!!😄
Hi all! I have a jalapeno plant that has a couple of jalepenos on it :). It’s on my patio and receives daily sun, it’s mostly direct half of the day and the other half is indirect sun. What I’m wondering is - the leaves are looking really bad! Is that because of the indirect sunlight? I missed two days of watering due to moving as well so I’m worried that might be a factor. I originally got the plant as a gift from Home Depot and it didn’t look the best when I got it. I haven’t sprayed it with anything- just water and sun daily! I ordered some plant food - not sure if that will help. If anyone can help out it would be greatly appreciated:)
This has been a long road. We moved to Louisiana in December. ALOE1 and ALOE2 took it brutally! The leaves freaked out, we’ve been struggling ever since. ALOE 1 has healthy roots look, looking more vibrant and green again. ALOE2 I don’t know what’s going on with her, I believe she had root rot. The main plant is solid and looks healthy. I cut the squishy rotted part off. Now she’s back in the pot, not sure if she will survive, but I’m still giving her a chance. Because I believe if there is green, there is something to save! 🌱 Any suggestions I’m taking them!

I need some helpful, friendly tips on my Aloe2. Her stem is not squishy, actually pretty solid, white and light green. She’s in Succulent Cactus Soil, and a terra-cotta pot. I trimmed back my other aloe and added the pieces to the soil. Shes sitting in the shade, but outside. Im hoping she can be saved. Please Help!
Quick question: my white ghost euphorbia got some rot and I cut above it. How long will it take to scab/be good to repot? And should I keep it in the same amount of sun as usual or bring it a bit away?
Just noticed my pink Birkin was a lil flimsy abs when I pulled her out - ugh rot! I scraped off all the gunk and sprayed with water/hydrogen peroxide- is she salvageable? What do I do with her next? Soak in water/hydrogen bath for the night? Thank you!
I rescued a plant from a friend. Is there anyway to save it? Or is it toast? Looks pretty bad 🫣 any recommendations on what I should do first? If I chop it, will the leaves grow back?
I started this gardenia from a clipping about 2 years ago. I repotted about a year ago. It was doing beautifully until 2 - 3 months ago. Planta first diagnosed transplant shock but I had done that a year before. I’ve actually had a bloom in the past year. A month ago a nursery said it was sunburn so I relocated it. Now the new growth looks washed out. Help! I don’t want to lose it. The bush I took the clipping from was a large old healthy bush.
Hello everyone! Does anyone have recommendations on natural fertilizers?
