Hello guys,
My polka dot begonia that i bought a couple of weeks ago isn’t doing well. I water it regularly, and it's next to the window. But it has been freezing in Vancouver around -10 lately, so my house temp is around 21 and maybe even colder next to the window, and it’s been really gloomy. The leaves are getting dry, and they’re losing their colours. Is there a way I can save this plant? What should I do? Thank you!

Hi there. I’d welcome some feedback on my Majestic Palm. I’ve had her for a few years and she’s always been very happy. In the summer I move her outside where she gets lots of direct sun (I’m in Atlanta). In the cooler months she lives in this south facing window.
Over the last couple of months her leaves have turned brown and crispy. I removed some but they continue to brown. I mist it every other day. It’s not near a heater. I water as often as Planta tells me too (every couple of weeks) however the soil does feel pretty dry. I added some more potting soil with peat moss a couple months ago and that seems like it might have been the catalyst. Any ideas?

Hi all,
Does anyone have experience treating new plants empirically with a pesticide or fungicide while in quarantine?
The company Arber specifically recommends some of their products for this purpose. Interestingly, their products have notably different ingredients (heat killed bacteria) than most.
Many of us use a variety of different Neem, alcohol, or Soap dilutions for treatment, but live found little evidence to support empiric treatment on receipt of a new plant. Thoughts?

Hi! Can anyone help me figure out what’s going wrong with my money tree? I’ve lost leaves on all but one branch and hope I can still save it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I got a Dieffenbachia camouflage a few days ago and the leaves (2) are already turning yellow, it’s placed in the kitchen/living room with no direct contact to sunlight, what am I doing wrong :( ? Last time it was watered was 2 days ago (soil was dry ish)

Hi all my lovely bird’s paradise is infested with mealy bugs. I got rid of them a few with ago with 70% rubbing alcohol on the mature bugs then washed down my plant in the shower. They’re back though! How can I get rid of them for good? I just washed down the plant again and sprayed it with neem oil. Any feedback helps 💚💚

Help! My poor baby… she is a red vain and quite the drama queen, recently she has been repotted. this morning she was super floppy and limp. The room was very warm ( it was snowing outside ) and I wondered if she had been too hot, so I misted her and turned the fan on. After that I bottom watered her and it didn’t help at all… any ideas? Thanks in advance!🙂 ( edit I noticed she had a small fungal spot )

My lemon tree is showing pale spots where she looks like the green part of the leaves are missing. The plant is about 2 years old and has been inside and in a south-facing window. Pot has drainage and I added citrus-specific fertilizer spikes a few months ago. She’s had fungus gnats before and responded well to treatment (hydrogen peroxide solution). But those didn’t do this kind of damage to the leaves. One branch seems to be more affected than the others. Please help!

Did I overwater? It’s drooping leaves and drying ends. It’s lipstick plant. Smells mushroom😕

I left my rosemary outside yesterday and today because I wasn’t home and the weather has been in the low 20s (Fahrenheit) I just got it from the grocery store and haven’t repotted it yet 😥 I found it on the floor today and it was somewhat frozen can someone tell me how do I save it?

I keep on getting random leaves turn yellow here and there not to to often. But I don’t think it’s good! I’ve been watering it when it tells me. I do have a lot of flys are they bad for my plant? Could that be the problem?
(Also my plant gets direct sunlight for about an hour or so then the rest is just sunlight in the room directed in other places.)

My prayer plant when I got it vs today.. is the leaf curl normal? I set it up closer to my humidifier, which I hope helps
(Also, I didn’t realize my bunny was in the picture lol)
Edit: I did walk from the store to the car when it was very very cold out with wind, which could be causing it as the other plants I bought are also drooping a bit, I’m just more concerned about this one as I’ve never had any of these before

I was recently given this pothos, and I repotted it because it was in a pot with zero drainage. There aren’t really any roots at all so I’m guessing it’s just a bunch of new cuttings. Can anyone tell me why these new growths are crisping up and dying before they’ve even really sprouted?

Hi! I’m new to raising plant babies and would like a little advice. This is my monstera. A friend of mine propagated it for me so I am trying my best to keep it alive. I have 2 stems with no leaves and I was told to cut it at the base and possibly a new shoot will grow..is that the only way to get new leaves? I would like more stems to grow but I’m not sure how. Any advice? Thank you!
Edit: this picture was taken at night- it is next to a big window so there’s plenty of light!

My bonsai tree is very brittle, is that probably a light issue or watering issue?

Hi! I’ve been planting for a while but I still consider myself as a beginner since I’m not too sure about proper materials and plant care. I just repotted my string of pearls into a new container with drainage after watering three days ago. In the instructions from this app, I was told to rewater the soil. Should I refrain from watering for three more days from the next watering or should I water when this app tells me to?

Hi, friends!
The leaves on my snake plant have started to curl and spread. What does this usually indicate?
It gets indirect light and is watered well. What should I try to change?

Hey guys!! My pothos has completely flopped over and the leaves have lost their waxy appearance :( I thought maybe this could be due to under watering, so I’ve just watered it. Help?!
