This is how I found my Goeppertia orbifolia after 5 weeks of us gone. Can it be saved?

We were gone for 5 weeks and had no one to look after our plants. Several of my plants have suffered and I don’t know what to do (I’ll post them separately for easier reference) This is how I found my Ctenanthe setosa. Can it still be saved? Or should I let it go.

I bought these mini roses a couple of months ago. I repotted them with indoor soil in a pot with one drainage hole, then transferred them to a smaller pot (second picture). I have them under a grow light, and I water them once a week. As the plant has gradually dried up, I pruned off all of the tried flowers and branches. A few days ago I noticed this white fuzzy mold on the soil. What should I do to revive this plant, get some growth and make the mold go away?

Help! What is making my cat palm look like this? A lot of the leaves are brown and crunchy at the bottom and some have these black holes at the top.

Hi all! Love plants. They don’t love me. I’ve been trying to be a plant girl for a while and felt like it was going GREAT. Cut to Christmas holidays leaving my beautiful plant at home with my partner, it’s died. How can I bring it back to life?

I got this little girl from my local greenhouse for 50% off ($4), I’m guessing because they were battling a bad case of gnats. I know… RED FLAG. I brought her and a string of hearts home. Found a red spider mite on the pot 2 days ago, sprayed with alcohol water mix. Found another yesterday on the edge of the pot. Sprayed with permethrin. No webs that I can see. Found one on the string of hearts, in a sealed container I was using to prop, TOSSED IT. Is this $4 cutie worth the worry and risk of spreading to my other plants? If I treat again, how long before I can confidently say I’ve wiped them out? She’s been quarantined the entire time, but she’s stressing me out!

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this rosemary plant to be turning red from the bottom up? I recently renovated this bed by double digging and mixing in compost and sand to break up the clay soil. This older rosemary is a transplant from a pot on my deck and I have a new rosemary from the nursery that seems perfectly happy in the same bed and some lavender and thyme as well all are happy in the same conditions.

I’m concerned with the health of my snake plant. There are new leaves springing up and then there are dry, yellow patches on other leaves. I’m also concerned with the big leaves bending and breaking. This is my first plant so any advice is welcome!

Hi! I need help, one of my plants has gray mold growing in the pot…I just watered it that might be the problem. But I need help knowing how to prevent it

Mouldy semi-hydro? I’m literally going nuts over the fact that my previous fluval stratum pots and semi-hydro have both developed mouldy tops and I don’t know what to do. I try to place fans around them but they still get mouldy. I changed everything from fluval to semi-hydro and there’s a very damp mouldy smell coming from them😩 How can I treat this or prevent it from happening🥹 I barely repotted them and they’ve adjusted, some better than others..

What kind of bugs are these and should they be removed from the plant?

Can someone explain these black dots? I got this plant in bad shape, trying to help it recover. Been spraying it with neem oil every 7 days or so for about 3 weeks but doesn’t seem to be helping.

Hi all, looking for some advice. I have these two chilli plants. One appears to be developing something like chillis but I’m wondering why some of the lower leaves have white bumps/discolouration/brown marks. They don’t appear to be rootbound and I’m careful about watering - I don’t water until the leaves go droopy. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance!💚🪴

Is this red splotching down the leaves of my Arrowhead anything to worry about?? It’s only on a few of the leaves and this is by far my most successful plant
