I bought my Bettina Ivy last Sunday. I think the big mistake was that I brought it home on a very cold evening, it was about 14F and I didn't put it in any bag or box to protect it from the cold. When I noticed on Monday that the tips of some of the leaves were dry, I thought it was due to cold burn. I checked Google and some resources mentioned watering the plant to help it. I did so and sprayed it a little with neem oil solution to prevent fungus gnats. Since Monday, every day I have found more and more leaves with dry tips or completely withered. Please help me save him!

Can I rescue this shrivelled Nerve Plant? It’s shrivelled up over winter, I gave it some extra artificial light but that didn’t seem to help. I’ve just repotted it in case there’s an issue with the soil. I think it’s getting enough water, though I reduced the watering frequency as I suspected it might be overwatered. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Having multiple issues here… My alocasia has spider mites, but I only see it in the soil. The leaves look good still. Should I repot it? My ficus elastica has a black spot on only the one bottom leaf; what could this be? It is next to a humidifier and other plants. My silver nerve has constant mold growing on top. I keep scraping it off, but it seems to grow back faster. Should I also repot this?

Update on some of my Regal Shields drama… I discovered little worms in the soil when I was checking it over. I took the entire plant out of the soil and washed off the roots; I’m upset that I didn’t catch it sooner. At the moment, it’s sitting in a cup of water and I’m going to transfer it to a vase with filtered water (once it reaches room temperature). Any tips on soil for Regal Shields? Can they survive in a water propogation while they return to health?? Help!!

Hey yall, I recently moved and my plants aren’t the happiest. I just noticed today that my basil has mold looking fuzz growing on the soil where the mulch wasn’t covering. Then I noticed it on some of my other plants but not all of them. I sprinkled some cinnamon but not sure if I should be worried about a mass contamination of some sort.

I have sadly just tossed my creeping Jenny as she had little dark bugs, flying and crawling all around the top of her. I am wondering if they are thrips? Shall I spray other plants in the area with neem oil as a preventative to this pest? Thanks.

Hello, I got this rubber plant from a reduced section at the weekend, hoping to give it some love. I’ve never had one before and I can’t tell if its new leaf looks like it’s meant to? Or if it’s not very healthy as it’s so curled round and slightly pinky round the edges? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi! I’ve had my spanish moss for a couple months, I soak it every week in room temp water and mist it by putting it on my humidifier every 3-4 days. It looks kind of sad, and I’m not sure what to do to make it healthier. Should I trim the brown part? Use filtered water when I soak it and mist it instead of my hard tap water? Get a liquid fertilizer? I’m not sure what to do. I keep it in a glass beaker on my wall (second picture)

new update on my PPP: watched a ton of youtube videos, praying that I took the cutting in the right place, dipped in some candle wax and then rooting powder, and stuck in some water… if she doesn’t take i’ll cry cause it’s one of the last variegated leaves 😭💔 any more advice is very welcomed

will these brown spots ever go away ? i keep forgetting to water her and she’s not happy about it. 🤦‍♀️ i usually cut around the brown spots but i hate how unnatural it looks. but i don’t want to chop otherwise healthy leaves off. thoughts ?

My Chinese money plant is browning on the edge of the leaves! The brown area is crispy not soft and the rest of the plant seems really happy. It lives under a grow light and I only water when the soil is dry. What do y’all think this is?

My pothos and monstera are covered in these brown spots. They increase in numbers and spread everyday. Recently i have been spraying these plants with hydrogen peroxide and neem oil in order to lower the number of fungus gnats, but all it did was i believe increase the humidity and cause this spotting in the highest humidity areas of the plant. I believe a copper based fungicide will treat this but im not sure. What exactly is this spotting called, and whats a definite way to treat it?

Help! While watering my plants I noticed these tiny white spots and small bugs crawling on some of the leaves. Are these thrips, spider mites?? And how do I treat them?

Two new leaves are about to unravel any day now on my prayer plant.. can anyone give me tips for their care? They’re in my room at the window where it’s bright indirect light, I give it filtered water and often have my humidity on.. but the last few leaves didn’t look so good, so I’m just wondering if there’s anything I can do or change

I repotted my cilantro plant a week and a half ago and ever since I repotted it, my plant completely wilted. Typically I would have my plants outside but it’s been very cold where I live. Any suggestions on what I did to either send it into dormancy or kill it?
