She was cut from a mother plant. Used fish fertilizer for a week. Tried to pot her but her health declined slowly afterwards. Put her in a water pot with liquid fertilizer and she is still withering away. I think tap water is working against her at this point and it’s in the right environment. She might not be getting the sun like she needs but it’s been so hot lately.

I do not come in peace so you have 2 minutes to find somewhere safe to go because this ain’t it. I detest your kind. Get out of Babar!

I bought this Colocasia Coffee Cups (I think 😝) with my partner on a recent trip. I want to switch it over to a leca semi-hydro system. I think it’s currently potted in soil or peat??? Roots show sign of mold on top and a few aerial roots look black. I was so happy to see that the roots in the pot were still healthy after 3 weeks in my care. Any tips on keeping this guy alive and if I should switch to semi-hydro as a newbie. Thank you 🌱

My asparagus firn is forming light mold on the top of the soil. How do I treat this and prevent it in the future?

Lesson time 😆 As some are aware, fiddle figs are finicky little buggers… and I have a bad habit of trying to rescue them 🙃 This sweet girl has pushed out some new leaves, and the red spots freaked me out! Turns out it’s edema from there being more water than the leaves can absorb, so some plant cells burst. As an RN, I am fascinated by this, but I digress 🤪 with consistent watering, the leaves can heal themselves. Wish me luck!

Hello again guys!!! Last night I realized Mel’s soil was really dark so I check her out and the pot had at least 2 inches of settled water in the bottom😬 so I took her out and left her in the plastic pot with holes, sitting atop a towel to hep absorb. Roots look okay to me for now but I’m crazy worried! Any tips?!

FUNGUS GNATS: FGs can lay up to 200 eggs per day and each FG may live 28 days, most of the population exist at varying stages of maturity in the soil. So I like to throw the current/infested soil away. Disinfect/wash the pot. Mix “Neem Leaf Powder” and “Mosquito Bits” in with new soil and repot affected plant . Lightly spray foliage and top soil with “Lemongrass Plant Pest Spray” as directed. **Disclaimer: This is my best advice based on years of personal experience balancing resolution of the fungus gnat infestation with the least harm/damage to my plants. I am not-nor do I claim to be-an expert** Good Luck! 🍀

SO, lastly! It has been repotted and looks amazing. *UPDATE* To ensure I was able to save my ZZ, I repotted some of the smaller stalks on its own but the main ones are still massive! Still looking for an 8 inch at this point 😭 My ZZ plant came in a 6 inch pot, and the leaves started changing color. Come to find out it was root bound; I need to repot it because the roots are extremely overgrown. What size should I get? I know the rule of thumb is an inch but would 10 be too much?

Ok guys, back to the umbrella plant. I’ve considered so many issues (scale, powdery mildew, sooty black mold, thrips, mealy bugs, spider mites… the app says it’s a watering issue and this seems way more complex) Help/thoughts? Updated photos with better light. Symptoms: -deformed and/or shriveled leaves with black discoloration on the bottoms -white and/or brown powder coating on leaves -sap spots on leaves -warped new growth

Help!!! My dieffenbachia has a fungus gnat infestation 😭 any tips? Also some leaves are looking brown on the tips 😕 I’m new to the plant mom thing so I am still learning 😫

Help! My Umbrella Tree is losing leaves, they’re turning black and falling off😭I can’t figure out why, I don’t think the watering or lighting is the issue, it’s definitely not overwatered and gets consistent indirect light…is it root bound?? any ideas? how do I help it😭

My prayer plant seems half healthy, half dead - flowering and sprouting new leaves but also has a lot of shriveled brown ones - what might be the cause?

My alocasia Polly is showing yellow/orange on leaves and even some holes. I just reported and watered and fertilized her 5 days ago. Her soul is still pretty moist..what can be causing this? I did notice it before repoting…

Is my alocasia frydek overwatered? What could be causing the leaf to turn yellow/brown?? Kinda mushy..
