My Jade plant leaves are turning yellow and falling off. Any tips on how can I revive its beautiful green leaves?

My Dragon Tree has some very sad leaves lately. At first I thought he was being over-watered so I’ve left a few more days between watering to make sure his soil was drying out. The leaves are droopy no matter the water amount. Any ideas?? I also had a fungus gnat issue which is now clearing up with the non-watering and sticky traps - but he was droopy before this

Hey guys! My Birkin keeps making me feel like a terrible plant mom! She started to get some white spots on some leaves, and now, one of her leaves is starting to get yellow. I wonder if it’s root rot, but she’s getting 2 new leaves which I don’t know what it means: is she healthy or not?

Hi guys! Can someone help me out here with this monstera. The edges are becoming yellow and the leaves are much lighter green than expected. Is it a nitrogen deficiency or some type of variation? Leaves seem rather large too for an adansonii? Thanks!

We need HELP!!! First our mint, now our coleus, the gnats are crazy!!! And this is while they are INDOORS!!!!! We had our window planter with our mint inside and it got very bad with gnats. We repotted them with completely new soil and pots TWICE and they just kept coming back. So we put them outside and they seem to be doing better all around. We sometimes see a few gnats on their soil but compared to how many there were inside we are thankful it’s just a few. It’s been about 1-2 months since we put them outside, and all of our inside plants have been fine!!! UNTIL NOW. We have a beautiful lush coleus on our new plant stand (same location where the mint was) and now it is INFESTED. We even have a sticky trap on it which picks up about 5-10 a day, but the soil is still COVERED in them!!! We moved them outside, but I am just so worried this will keep happening. And this specific coleus does not like being outside, she automatically starts wilting. I am trying to dry her soil out because I know they like moisture (she’s been outside for a day and a half now and she is still pretty infested), hopefully she will be okay. Also thinking about repotting and changing soil. Any suggestions would be GREAT as we are fairly new to plants and gardening 🥲

My prayer plant was really happy when I first got it, I haven’t changed anything but its leaves are yellowing and getting crispy. I thought it was overwatered so I’ve been letting it dry out the soil and just misting the leaves but it’s getting worse. I’ve removed 3 leaves already. Help!

Just bought this Jade and Pearl Pothos from HEB… Anyone know what kind of bug this is/how to get rid of it? Whoever handled this poor plant did not care for it very well, and I don’t want to just toss it out. If anything I am tempted to propagate off the healthier leaves and toss the rest of the plant from the damage atp

Anything I should do to this growth on my watermelon leaves? It is spreading some but the new plant growth is out pacing it. Dry back? Whey or microrizalfungi foliar spray?

My peace lily flowers are turning brown on the edges. Is it because of too much or too little sunlight or watering? Any suggestions on this?

SOS I kept my little succulents in my bedroom for about 6 months and then I foolishly put them outside without preparing them and they got sunburnt 😭 I ended up pulling off all the brown leaves but left the ones that discolored. Now they have been outside, in the heat but under shade for a couple weeks. And I’ve been watering them according to the Planta instructions. One of them has a little green color to it still. Can I put them in the sun yet? Are they even salvageable?? Thank you!

I noticed my Lady Valentine wasn’t doing as well as I hoped. The bottom leaves were fading. I dug through the soil to find two smaller pots within the self watering pot. Never repotted since purchasing a few months ago. Roots look really healthy though!

I have a money tree that seems to be growing pretty happily but has lost quite a few leaves in the middle. You can see the bare areas about a foot from where the braiding ends. Any advice to get fuller growth toward the bottom? I tried trimming it in the spring but it didn’t help as new growth just restarted from where I trimmed.

Underwatered? Overwatered? I watered every week and a half to two weeks. I followed planta instructions and I don’t get it

Overwatered? Underwater? How can I tell? I let it rest for a week and it still looks like this. I watered once every week to two weeks
