🆘!! I bought a gardenia bonsai online and she arrived about a week ago. She initially had a lot of buds, but they start to wilt and soon as they open and look like this (see photo) within a day of opening. She also had a few yellow leaves and I don’t think there are any more now than there were a week ago. I know gardenias are sensitive, so maybe she just needs some time to recover from the shipping and to get used to the new environment? I have her in indirect sunlight in a room that gets a ton of light. But what’s worrying me is that when I tried to use a moisture meter by her roots, I couldn’t even push it in there. The akadama around her is very loose and the water runs off immediately, but I’m concerned nothing’s actually making it to her roots. Under different circumstances, I’d take a look at her roots and repot her if needed. But since she’s so delicate, I’m concerned I’ll just do more damage. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks ahead of time! 🙏🏼

Hey guys! So I am trying to get more plant supplies and I’m trying to figure out the best: Succulent soil to buy Orchid soil to buy Perlite to buy Chunky soil to buy Any tips/material I should look into? -Thanks LearningPlantMom 💝

My pathos have a combination of yellow leaves and new growth. What’s happening here?

Hi all! So I've had this plant for a little while now and it's been doing really well for a good long while. Today though I checked on it to find damage all over two leaves. They're some of the newest leaves on the plant and the only change is that I put it in a different room for a couple of days...any idea what could have happened and what I should do? Thanks

Hi! I’m new to the group and app. I have this devil’s ivy I believe, and it was lush and green 2 weeks ago, now the vines and leaves are browining and falling off. I’m lost! How do I fix it? I’ve been watering minimally, keeping it in the window for light, I believe some of the vines could have been damaged in transporting the plant, is there anything I can do to save my baby?

I have a yellow lucky bamboo that I received from a previous neighbor and I’ve tried everything, but the brown/black spots keep coming back. Help?

I have a begonia Julau that has some leaf browning. After looking at possible causes, I think I overwatered it. I was leaving for a week and didn’t want it to dry out too much so I watered a little early. It’s in a high humidity environment too and is under a grow light that is 1.5-2 feet above it. Do y’all think I have diagnosed it properly? I noticed this morning that the newest leaf has a small brown tip too :/

I repotted my elephant ear (mixed alocasia) almost a week ago and 2 out of the 4 leaves are starting to turn yellow. I’m using regular potting mix with added perlite for drainage and aeration. Does anyone know why it’s looking sad? 😔

So I’ve had this plant for a while now, and I’ve always thought that it was a Moth Orchid, please correct me if I’m wrong 😊 I was watering a bit today and I saw the yellow leaf. I know that it’s normal for longer living orchids to have yellowing leaves. Should I pluck it off so there can be new growth? Also, should I repot this? 🫶🏻

Pinched this Dwarf Cavendish as a baby plant growing from my mums main cavendish plant. Repotted it into this terracotta pot last week but the leaves are starting to droop and turn brown. Been sticking with the Planta schedule. Am I missing something? In context, had one last year that grew healthily and suddenly dropped away and died over the winter so just making sure this new one survives!

Hydrangeas from Whole Foods, got them a month ago, they were a GORGEOUS purpulish blue. The plant feels and looks healthy, besides this weird color it’s turning into (greenish greyish color) What does this mean? What can I do to revive the color back to a beautiful blue? Thank you in advance !

👋🏻 I got this zz cutting from a friend over two years ago. It hasn’t grown or changed in a long time. I thought maybe it was dead. This looks like a brain. Anyone know what’s going on here?

So for some reason my string of hearts decided to grow mushroom from the bottom, and they’re coming out the drainage holes. I took the plane out the pot to inspect the soil, there’s no root root or pests… does anyone know what’s going on?

Hey everybody! I have tons of plants and decided to challenge myself with a common ivy - Sarah. I bought her 3 weeks ago at Ace Hardware and she was gorgeous! Now lately my leaves are wilted, some crispies, and over time taking more and more leaves off. Now she looks bare! My guess I think it’s been overwatered too fast as I also had Planta do the scheduling for me and maybe too much sun? I live in a basement complex and I had her hanging until now. Can someone give me advice on this type of plant please! Thank you!

Recently brought home this silver dragon! The tips were yellowing like this when I brought it home, but hasn’t gotten worse, so I think I’m in the clear. What would have caused this?

Hello all, Last month I purchased predatory mites from Natures Good Guys and I seem to have many, many more spider mites all over my collection now than I did before. Do any of you use predatory mites ? And where do you buy them if so? I’ve been trying to clean up the infestation with alcohol and neem oil. Any tips would be appreciated.
