I got some free plants and they are in rough shape I am repotting them and I saw this all over the roots of one. Can anyone tell me if I should even try saving it? Also what is this? The yellow stuff

Hey! I’m hoping I could get advice with what could be wrong with these 2 types of aloe vera’s. One has started going purple in random places despite not being watered for ages. The other has been going purplely brown in the middle of each stems… any ideas? Cheers! :) 🪴

Hi! I think I may have over fertilized this pink panther and I’m so sad because when I first got it, it was very bushy and small; super cute! Anyway, I’m hoping that somebody, anybody can help point me in the right direction on how to bring this girl back to her former glory days… I’m thinking I’ll have to pull it from the pot, wash away the soil on the roots and repot with new soil… any recommendations for soil type for this plant are greatly appreciated as well!!! Thank you :) the second pic is when I first got it.

I cannot figure out what my Chinese money plant wants. The leaves keep turning a little yellow with brown spots on the edges and falling off. It is making new leaves, but the older leaves won’t stay attached. I wait until the soil is almost all dry before watering, it is planted with the recommended soil according to this app and it has drainage holes in the pot. I had it in my dining room with indirect medium light but then I worried it was too indirect and I moved it to under a grow light, but that didn’t seem to help.

Not me thinking that there was a "strategic" way to store bags of soil. Because of course fungus gnats can survive and reproduce in an airtight plastic container. AND find their way outside a bag that was rolled up tight and secured with a binder clip 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ P.S. any advice on how to keep pests outside your bags of soil is welcome :)

Help! This is my Chinese Hibiscus, I took the plant out of the pot and saw new roots growing and then removed it from bright light. Can anyone tell me why leaves are yellow and tips for care?

My friend left this plant outside and it looked like it was dying. We cut off the brown/yellow parts and moved it. Is there anything else we can do to help it? Hal’s in advance!

I just bought this lemon tree a couple days ago and repotted it last night- it’s on my patio where it can get full sun. I noticed it looks a little droopy today- do you think it’s just because I repotted it? It was a hot day and is going to be a hot week. I misted it last night and just watered it but want advice on how to make less droopy. Thanks!

I just moved this Carolina reaper outside and it is starting to wilt and brown. Is that something I am doing wrong? Will it recover?

Hello I’m finding what I think are thrips on my plants! A lot of my plants! Besides spraying with Neem mixture, is there anything else I can do? I don’t want to lose a bunch of them! Thank you
