my fiddle leaf has lost like 2 leaves in the last month and more are yellowing and/or drooping, any ideas as to what it may be?

My rex begonia is a little droopy after being in a car for about 6 hours. We were driving from NC to VA. I watered, because she needed it. But i was wondering if there were any tips to perk her up some

Can anyone let me know what’s wrong with this fiddle leaf fig? A lot of red marks on the underside of the leaves that bleed and show through the top on some leaves. There’s also a bunch of brownish spots and “slits” on the midrib or veins of the leaves. Doesn’t look to severe, but want to understand the cause of this. Leaves aren’t falling or turning yellow.

what should i do with the discolored leaves? It was under watered when i first got it so it started to die, I got it back on track but these leaves are still kinda crunchy and discolored. A sunflower as a beginner not for the weak 🤒

I don’t know what’s wrong with my plant… at first i thought it was under watered and needed more light so i moved it into an area where it’ll get more indirect light. Then i started misting it daily my mister has a bit of peppermint oil because i use to use it for my hair, so idk if that is adding to it. Is it overwatered by any chance because i started watering it probably every 3 days since I thought it was dying but i found out they don’t need to be watered that often… im a beginner sorry guys

Is this Ficus Audrey done? Had a mealy bug problem and had to remove all of its soil since it was all so infested. Now it has dropped all the older leaves and only the new stuff remains.

I accidentally overwatered my string of turtles cuttings, and they went from looking healthy and vibrant to dull and mushy. Is there anything I can do to help it? The first picture is today, the second picture was 4 days ago.

Just got this new dragon fruit plant yesterday, and has these “dents” on the corners where the plant touched the pot. Does it need to be re-potted? Is this something I should be worried about?

Hii, I have a super intense issue with fungus gnats! Ive repotted my plants, use neem oil, & made mosquito bit tea & they seem to just keep appearing/spreading to other plants. Any recommendations??

My Escheveria Laui was on the patio. We had a storm and now she’s drenched. Should I repot with dry soil?

This Jade (I think) of mine, Jasper, isn’t doing too hot. Looks like the base of his stems has rotted. Can I revive him in any way? Would I cut off the bad stem and just attempt to stick in the okay stem without roots? Should I propagate from leaves only? He does still look like he’s growing (new green-ish leaves at the very top).

So I have this orchid and as I was watering her today, I noticed the tips of some of her roots were pink. Is that normal 😑 or should I be concerned 😧? Please let me know, thank you ☺️

Hi everyone! I have a spider plant. It’s a baby from its mother that I’ve had for about 4 years now! The problem is, I’ve noticed some of its leaves have started to bend and turn brown. It is very close to my window (which is south facing). Maybe it has too much sun? I would love some input!

Hi guys! Quick question. I have a small pothos in a plastic 6 in pot sitting on a shelf by a north facing window—I also have Haus grow lights set up. It was being watered every 10-12 days and getting some yellow leaves so I had my mother in law (she’s taking care of my plants since I’m out of state) start watering every 12-14 days thinking it was maybe being overwatered. It’s still getting yellow leaves, she said she had to pull off a bunch of yellow leaves the other day and they were soft. Could this still be getting overwatered?? Or is this due to under watering. Please help 🙏🏽

I have a large Baltic Blue Pothos with yellow patterning on some leaves. It is attached to my wall currently. It does not have any visible pests. I water with distilled water, and fertilize half strength every couple of weeks. I wonder if this is a nutrient issue though. Has anyone else ever had this happen?

Every peace lily I have ends up with brown tips on the leaves. The lower ones have turned yellow. I don’t know if it’s the spot it’s in (doesn’t get a whole lot of light) or if watered too much. Please helpppp

this is my Dracaena Fragrans, i just up-potted it because it was much fuller, and the leaves started turning brown and dying pretty rapidly. I’ve only got a few leaves left, the window is east facing, any tips?
