Hello! I got this alocasia silver dragon from Trader Joeās on Wednesday and he doesnāt look to well:( (I donāt keep him in the widow seal like this just have him here for a better picture. His leaves are yellow which I presume is from a sunburn from too much light the first 2 days I had him. He is still in his baby planter pot that has drainage. Iām a new plant mom too :(
Help!!!, my crouton did not do well with the repot. So I put it outside under a dome for a little bit of humidity and it began to wiltā¦ I brought it back inside and I noticed that it was not absorb the water very well. Tonight I put it back in the nursery pot with moist soil and now Iām just wondering if itās too late. Should I cut off the leaves or will they revive on their own?
Iām a first time plant mom and my prayer plant is looking pretty bad ! I just changed its water and I added sugar to the water (my mom told me to) but I would like some tips on how to recover this guy !

My Tropic Snow plant has a very yellowing leaf over the last week. Looks like it was its first or second growthā¦ The lighting in my room has shifted recently is that why? Help!!!
Iām pretty sure this is an Alocasia Pink Dragon. I actually found it at Walmart, but they had it listed as a Pink Princess Alocasia which I know is not a real plant. Why are the leaves turning yellow/brown/pink and spotty? Any tips/advice please? Thank you!
my plant is dropping and sickly, and it has these little white dots on it? anyone know what i can do to help it out?
Why are string of pearls so hard to care for? Itās like it wants to die sometimes lol. I had a big beautiful 4 inch pot and now Iām down to three healthy strands in the course of 1 month š
Hey, i need help! So i bought a Croton about two ish weeks ago. When i bought it, it was heavily root bound so i had to repot. i watered when the the soil was dry then let it dry some more before i watered yesterday (it wasn't completely bone dry). The leaves have been dropping the past few days and i'm not sure what's wrong - i'm new to this plant and know they can be a a struggle lol
š„² thanks spider mites. This is a small rose bush from Trader Joes. Ive only had it a month and yesterday i noticed the mites. She wasnt doing too well so hopefully shes on the mend. Be sure to inspect box store plants, glad i caught it before it spread to my other plants(hopefully)
These tulip bulbs (I think) got overwatered? Are they rotting? If so any advice or help? Iām am a newbie and this was a gift. For reference they are in a water bath with a support for the bulbs to sit on.
Help!!ā¼ļøšØplease Hello, so I just got the snake plant and he just got water and liquid fertilizer but when watering I realized it took him a while to drink and did not come out of the holes in the pot! What do I do???? And he did not really take In the water and also I donāt know if this helps but heās in a nursery pot right now
Why is my lemon vine looking limp and sad? It gets plenty of sunlight and Iām only watering it when Planta tells me to, but the leaves are limp and floppy and it looks quite dejected. Any tips?
This is Victoria, a ti plant inherited from my grandma. Victoria has lived with my family and I for about a year, and she has suffered some...neglect. As you can see, she is currently Not Doing So Hotā¢ļø but she's still alive and I want to know, how can I save her? * I have bought a new terracotta pot with drainage, and some miracle-grow tropical plant food for starters, though I haven't repotted and fertilized yet. I must also note that the golden pothos babies that are in there (placed by mom) are pretty decisively entangled with the ti plant. I just checked the roots.
What soil is recommended for repotting ti plants? I have rescued one that's in BAD shape and the first thing to do would seem to be repotting her with proper drainage. Would a tropical soil mix work alright?
Enjoying my orchids flower before cutting the inflorescence off to save my orchid :( itās super dehydrated and needs the energy.
Any ideas on why the ends of my zebra plantās leaves have gone crispy and brown? Iāve tried moving it between direct sunlight and partial shade but doesnāt seem to make a differenceā¦.New growth all seems happy enough!
Please help! Iām pretty new to plants. Does anyone know about growing orchids in water? My orchid was struggling from the beginning with lots of root rot. After its bloom I chopped off the stem and read about orchids doing well in water. I thought it would be worth a try. When I made the switch I had to chop off most of the roots because they were squishy and dark green/almost black. I pretty much only have one long root and one short root left. The plant has become slightly less wrinkled but other than that thereās been no change in about a month. A new leaf has sprouted but isnāt growing. Any input?
Hey everyone, I have a blushing philadendron that was neglected at a local nursery. Iāve had it for 8 weeks, repotted into a restaurant quart container (with plenty of drainage holes) to monitor roots and I have not seen any improvement. To the best of my knowledge I donāt believe it to have any pests or diseases. Itās currently in all purpose potting mix, sits on my south facing balcony in the shade. Happy to receive any advice or guidance.
Zz plant has ever so slight browning at the tips.. any ideas why? As far as Iām concerned itās not over/under wateredā¦ Is this set up too far from light?
