this is my scindapsus pictus exotica and i have had him since november of last year. this was the plant that started my planty obsession so i have grown very attached. i haven’t changed much in terms of care aside from adding some used coffee grounds from time to time before watering (which i have done for weeks with no issue).
recently, i have had some yellowing leaves that was too excessive to be normal that i ended up chopping off. from there the plant grew out two runners and now all the new growth that comes in seems to develop this strange deformed growth pattern. even the older leaves have been developing it too and i can’t seem to get my thriving and healthy plant back. i have checked the leaves for pests and haven’t noticed any webbing either. i would hate to have to chop and prop already but i will if need be. could anyone help me figure this out?? thank youuuu

i recently had to put my 16 year old dog to sleep and potted some succulents into her food bowl as a memorial, but they're not doing too well :( i have them under a grow light and i follow planta's watering schedule, but they're definitely not looking great. if anyone has any tips on how to get them thriving again please let me know! attaching a photo of when i first potted them & how they look now (also a pic of daisy for good luck 💕)

My Hoya rope compacta is starting to get soft and wrinkled in some places. The other stands are fine and firm. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ve already lost a couple strands please help!!

Hello! I have this lovely spider plant that seems to be doing well, however it’s falling over and her roots are exposed (I think). I’m pretty inexperienced with plant care, does anyone have any idea what to do to keep her thriving? Does it need a post? More soil? Is it outgrowing this pot? Thanks for any help you can offer!

Help ! I got this string of bananas/dolphin. It was doing beautifully , however the day I brought it home it did get a lot of sun in the car. It quickly started drying out. I have maybe watered it 2-3 times since I got it about a month ago. It keeps on drying I looked at the roots today and I am not sure what it needs ?! I don't want to over water it as I am prone to causing root rot a lot.

Help! My avacado plant has been doing great, but just recently has been browning on two of the 4 leaves. It is currently in water and the roots look fine… is it time to transfer it to soil? What should I do?

Brown spots have appeared on my calathea. This plant sits in my window sill. Is it getting to much sun or what could cause these brown spots?

For the money tree plant do you recommend to keep it tied together or untie ?

I’m still trying to learn about plant pests. Does anyone know what this is caused by on my monstera deliciosa (I was thinking maybe flat mites, but I truly don’t know).

My 2 year old avocado tree has recently started losing its leaves one by one. Most of the time they turn brown and fall off I tried watering it more but that did not seem to help, any ideas? Thanks so much she is my baby and I really don’t want to lose her!

Best advice for getting rid of these blood suckers? I first noticed an issue a week ago on a couple of plants and started treating with Jack’s Deadbug. Over the course of the week I’ve been finding more plants that may be infected. Found culprits on my Alocasia this morning and now I’m about to go bay shit, because do you know how long it’s taken me to figure this beauty out?!

This aluminum plant has been through A LOT. It’s finally growing again but the new leaves are curling down.
It’s been watered recently and I’ve done my best not to overwater it but keep it moist. Any tips or insight would be appreciated! I really want this to thrive again 😭

Does anyone have any experience with mealy bugs, and if so, how did you get rid of them?

Can anyone tell me what’s going on here? I noticed this on some of the leaves on my neon pothos and i’m freaking. out. i’ve been fortunate enough to not have had any issue with bugs/pests since i got into plants a few months ago, so i’m not sure at all what this is or what to do. I moved the plant away from all my others, it’s on top of one of my greenhouse cabinets, but i’m worried cause it was in a shelf clustered with a lot of other plants including my thai con and my deliciosa. 🙃🙃

My split leaf philodendron is getting these weird, brown gooey spots on it. Some of the stems have gotten really soggy as well, so my thought was that it was overwatered? But I repotted it and have been keeping watering to a strict, as needed schedule, so I’m not sure what’s going on
:( HALP!
