Does anyone know what’s going wrong with my little sisters Vriesea ‘Robin’? It’s turned brown and crispy after regular watering!

Hello! My Chinese evergreen at my office has been flowering which is awesomeee!! I have noticed more of these spots across the plant… what could be causing this? Are they mineral spots? Thank you in advance :)

Hey guys, I just got a string of hearts in the mail but it looks like it had a rough time getting here (It took 5 days so that’s probably why) but I was wondering if there’s anything I need to know or do to help it live?

Pothos lover!

Hello!! I just had a quick concern: my satin pothos has been getting a lot of yellowing leaves with brown/black tips. She is still putting out new growth, but even relatively new leaves are getting the brown tips. Thank you!

Any advice on how to get rid of tiny bugs from plants? I see many fleas in the soil of my plants

I was fertilizing Benji when I saw a little bug on the bottom of the pot. I lost it so I wasn't able to get a photo of it. It kinda looked like a fruit fly, so it may just be that, but idrk, I've never had pests before so I'm not sure. Benji is one of my healthiest plants so I don't think it would be pests but just making sure. Help pls!

So I just recently had a very severe under watering problem with my bonsai tree… it has gotten so much better on the past 2 days…. But basically all the leaves have fallen off of the tree. What’s going on?

Hi everyone! New plant mom here and I just can’t get this sweet baby back to how he used to look. I’ve tried everything from repotting to fertilizing (advice from another plant mom) and he still looks so sad :( can anyone help??

One of my ficus has had this since I got her about a year ago. It hasn’t sprouted any new leaves and I feel like it’s because this little piece got stuck or never finished growing. Should I cut it off? Is there anything I can do for it? She otherwise very healthy, she’s been repotted (about 4 months ago?), and doesn’t show any signs of root rot.

Hi all! I’m having some issues with gnats from my plants when they get watered? I’ve opted to use watering bulbs and that’s reduced it a lot since the stop soil isn’t moist. But unsure how to completely get rid of it. Would I need to just repot with new soil?

I’ve seen these over the last few weeks in the soil of my Dieffenbachia. I’ve heard mixed responses as to what they may be (friend or foe) and recently I’ve noticed more of them, especially after watering. *they curl up when touched it that helps Any idea what they may be? Any solutions for getting rid of them? Should I isolate this plant as to not infect my others? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

hello friends <3 i’m very new to taking care of plants, and i was unaware of how fast my maidenhair fern could deteriorate!!! she was doing so well the first few weeks i had her!!! she was sprouting new fronds like crazy. I misted her leaves twice a day and watered her lightly every other day with cycled deep waters. i forgot to water her for three days, and now her fronds are curling and browning. is this from lack of water or maybe a moisture change? we’ve had the windows open the past two days and there has been a gentle breeze. i checked her roots and there are no signs of rot… so i’m really at a loss. i saw she was declining yesterday and gave her a good soak. she hasn’t seem to have gotten better or worse. any feedback really helps! i wanna keep her alive and thriving ❤️‍🩹❤️

Any suggestions on how to get a jalapeño plant to bear peppers? Weather has been high 70s most of the time and full sunlight, not sure if the right climate is off or if there’s other reasons they might not be growing…

My Kolanchoe hasn’t bloomed in 2 years, but leaves look great. I feed it during warm months. I can’t figure out why not? No bugs on it at all. My anthurium hasn’t bloomed in 2 years too. Same management.
