Any thoughts/suggestions on what could be going wrong with my aloe? I repotted this plant couple of weeks ago and it is near a south facing window.

Does anyone know what’s happening to my spinach child? He’s all tall and I think I see roots on top. Does he need a bigger pot to quite literally collapse and root a g a i n ??

Hey Yall, Newby here … I just picked up this beauty from my local nursery & wanted to inquire about these few leaves. They repotted her today & I thoroughly expected her after wiping down her leaves, no bug/mites in the soil or underneath any leaves. So, let me know whats going on & what i should do.

I can’t seem to figure out what is happening to my Homalomena plant. The leaves keep getting more and more yellow and dying and I don’t know if she needs water or if she is over watered. Any suggestions?

Can anyone tell me what’s going on with my rubber plant. It is only on one leaf.

Anyone know why the tips of my dragon scale Alocacia is turning yellow?

hi! can’t quite place the issue here- not over or under watered. i even keep her by a humidifier (when my central air is on). when i brought her home in late May, i noticed pests so i repotted and pruned her. she’s been fine but within the last couple of weeks i noticed yellowing and i just noticed she’s oozing sap. i cleaned her with alcohol/neem. added pics for closer inspection if that’s helpful. anyone had similar issues? if so, is it worth the maintenance? appreciate any response. thanks

Is this bad? I repotted this bird yesterday and now the leaves are all curled in. It has plenty of water…. 🤔

It’s watering day and I just noticed mold (?) on my plant. I’m going to replace the dirt but how do I avoid this next time.
Felicia
I honestly don’t know what I did wrong. They have enough sunlight, and I allow them to thoroughly dry before I water it

Hello! Please help 🙃 I got this beautiful Alocasia Jacklynn from one of my local nurseries & her newer growth/smaller leaves are turning yellow & their stems are now drooping & don’t have any strength at all. Can anyone tell me what’s going on and how to help them out 😭🙏🏼 The yellow is now & the green is when I bought it 🥺

Alocasia did really well the first week I got it, then the oldest leaf got weird coloration and so I cut it. Then it got a huge spider mite infestation out of no where, used dish soap and wiped it, neemed oil it, then no new infestation. Repotted it due to the mites and Now the next oldest leaf is discoloring.

Send help!! I’ve tried watering more, watering less, regular misting, more sunlight, less sunlight… I’m not sure what’s wrong?

Here is my money tree. All of its “original” leaves (those there when I bought it) are dark green, and all of the new growth is light green. Is this ok? Is something wrong? I water every 10 days and mist daily. Thank you!

No diseases, pests or problems to report, but I want to avoid them. I need some advice on this little guy - successfully delivered in fine shape via Mountain Crest. I hear “put it in a shady spot” and “bright light encourages coloring” and on and on. Anyone have some actual experience with (non-grafted) Gymnos of this variety? ps I see some green growing in-between some ribs. Looks healthy, just the opposite way I thought this would go lol.

Help please! Planta recommends discarding my mother of millions due to this mildew substance… before noticing the white powdery ick on the leaf ends, I clipped each stem as they were getting quite leggy. I’d rather save her if I can. Any suggestions??

Is this mold or mineral deposits on my plants soil? I had a problem with what I thought was mold for these Chinese evergreens 2 weeks prior, so I changed out the soil and added some materials to help with drainage. I then watered them and 5 days later I saw what I thought was mold developing so I watered them with a hydrogen peroxide mix and added cinnamon to remove and prevent mold growth. I have also been putting them in a sunnier spot to prevent mold. I now see that this white substance continues to appear on the soil so I was wondering if it was mold or mineral deposits from watering. If it is mold what other solutions are there to prevent further growth?

Does this discoloration on my Alocasia mean I have a light situation? Like it got burned or something? It’s under a grow light because the room it’s in faces the north. I’m starting to think I may get grow bulbs for the recessed lights in the living room.
