I don’t even know where to start but I have a bunch of problems so if anyone has literally any suggestions I will take them. The fig has been really struggling. She has only a few leaves left and then they started getting holes in them and ripped around the edges. I have a bunch of fungus gnats but no other bugs to my knowledge. I don’t know what the problem could be. The only other factor is I rested her about a month ago. The prayer plant has been doing amazing recently but within the last two days the leaves suddenly started to brown and dry up. The lucky bamboo I am less so worried about but the leaves have been turning yellow. I did recently clean out the pot and changed the water. I am mostly just wondering if there is much else I can do for it. Thanks🤍🪴

    Hey! Ive never had pests within my plants but I see a lot of people recommending using hydrogen peroxide on your soil to deter or get rid of pests. Also! I had a fig twice and both of them self destructed within a week, I gave up on them even though they’re beautiful!

    Anytime my fiddle leaf figs start dropping a lot of their leaves it’s normally from a spider mite infestation. I spray every couple weeks with happy happy houseplant’s neem oil which has kept pests away and use her plant food every time I water them. Also if you google “tanner the planter fiddle leaf fig” it will bring his videos up on their care and that’s how I take care of mine. I have 5 fiddle leaf fig trees and 3 smaller plant/bush style, all doing well. I’m no help with prayer plants 😂 I have a beauty Kim that is doing good but it’s from pure luck. Your bamboo looks good, just seems like older leaves are dying off. Maybe it needs a little more humidity?

      Yeah it probably does need humidity I live in like the driest place 😂. Thanks for the advice I will check for spider mites

    For the prayer plant, they are sensitive to some chemicals in tap water and don’t really like direct light. I wouldn’t sit it directly in front of a window. Some use distilled water only others had good results using a water conditioner. They are pretty dramatic plants but can thrive with the right conditions.

      Do old leaves usually fall off of them? I’ve only had it for a month or two
