Hey guys! What the heck is this? I’m guessing it’s a bulb so next question is what do I do with it? My plant’s been losing leaves, had droopy and wilted leaves and the newgrowth dies and is trapped before it even gets a chance to grow so I was going to repot it to see if the roots were rotting, they look pretty healthy so I’m not sure what’s causing the issue ☹️ I did have her outdoors for a while till slugs became a problem and she’s been indoors since but I’m finding it hard to care for her

Noticed a yellow / brown leaf on my money tree today and it fell off when I touched it. Any thoughts on what this could be? See a lot of new growth, but some are coming in missing a leaf or in this case mis colored

Hii, I just stole this hydrangea from my sister and I’m trying to save is. Any idea where to start, or if it can even be saved? Thank you so much in advance!!! :)

I recently got a Monstera Dubia as a gift i’m still a beginner so I figured this plant would be a little tough to care for. The top leaves have turned this greyish color, can anyone help me? 😊

I’ve recently gotten a cheese plant but it seems to be dying no matter what I do. I sized it up a pot a week or two ago but it was dying before. What do I do about it? ( if I can do anything) Thanks!

Does my red maranta / prayer plant need to be replanted? I’ve had it since April when I planted it in this 6” pot. But, now it is kind of droopy .

Please help 🥺 I’m trying to figure out what kind of pest I am dealing with. The creepy crawler started off on one plant and now a few weeks later they are on SEVERAL of my plants. I have over a hundred and starting to panic. I’ve tried been oil, soap sprays, soap dunks, rubbing alcohol wipe downs and spray, cinnamon/neem/peppermint spray. I’ve water with neem oil and peroxide. The bugs are hard to explain bc they are so hard for me to see. They are TINY. They look white/yellow. There is no webbing or clustering of them. They just crawl… all over, mostly on the edge of the leaves. I’m not finding much plant damage (yet). It doesn’t look like they have wings and seem to wipe off easily but come right back the next day. I have videos of them crawling if that may be if any help.

Do cut the leaves off with the spots? Dr. Planta person said to “flush the pot” for a few months. I sized her down a pot, and that helped some. Just not sure about the spots. Also, when you flush the pot, does that mean with distilled or rain water?

I Just planted 4 new plants in 5 gallon buckets. My yellow bell peppers don’t seem to be doing well though. We planted them on Saturday into a cow manure and compost mix, added a little food and watered them. And now the leaves are all flimsy and feel soft and rubbery. I read it could be from too much water so I have been trying to let them dry out a little. But it rained last night. After dark around 11pm I got home from work and checked it and they felt normal and this morning I woke up and they feel rubbery like and flimsy again. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am very new to this. Thank you

Help! I just repotted my Syngonium Aurea and it’s starting to drop leaves :( It was definitely ready for a repot so idk why it’s doing this

my ficus is loosing leaves and is drying out. i will try and give it a more humid environment but should I cut it back to reduce the stress on the plant?

hi!! very new plant mom here. got this felt bush about 3 months ago at a festival and have a hard time taking care of it since, so many of its leaves have fallen ill with black spot and i’ve had to snip. the second pic is when i got him, the first pic is from a month ago, and the third pic is from today. the original pot broke recently and i’ve had to rehouse it into a new pot but is very droopy and i’m not exactly sure where to start when trying to bring him back to his former glory and a better one :(

Bella palm hates me! I have changed the location after thinking it was too close to the light, I use my Planta watering and fertilizer schedule and still is hurting. Any help appreciated!

this is spriggins, kinda got him without knowing what he was but i think he’s a pepperonis nitida. anyways as i’m sure you can see in the picture his leaves are getting eaten by what i think are fungus gnats. how can i get rid of them without having to completely change out the soil ? if there’s any other thoughts about what’s eating the leaves please let me know :)

HELP!!! Today I went to repot my oldest plant and watched a YouTube video to help me. Following the video, I completely washed it and studied the roots. As I was doing so I noticed that the roots look extremely weak, I have inserted a picture to help me describe it. Are they still alive and healthy? Should I keep doing what I’m doing? WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHAT SHOULD I DO?? #newplantmom #helpme

I have a dwarf umbrella plant, the leaves keep dropping and falling off. How can I bring it back to life? It’s usually in my bedroom that has a north facing window, i moved it out to the hall for it to get more light but it doesn’t seem to be improving.

I have leaf damage on my sweet potato vine, Ipomoea ‘Ace of Spades.’ It came that way when I bought it. Looks puckered. Then, the small leaf veins dry out around the puckered/embossed areas. The leaf cracks at those sites. Looks like it’s disintegrating. No apparent insect chew holes or leaf miners found. No insects found. I inspect every single leaf and quarantine new plants 30 days. No other issues on this plant. I propagated several small pieces. New growth looks fine on both the cuttings and at the mother plant. Any ideas? Background: I’m in Zone 9. Got it two weeks ago from the grocery store (delivery). I thought it was heat stress from the 100°+F temperatures here in the South causing the cracked dry leaf veins. But, no dry leaf tips, yellowing or wilting were seen. No bugs. So, I did not return it to the store. The soil was very dry when it arrived and retains water about 5 days before completely drying out. I use a moisture meter. I typically water every 2 -3 days in this heat. It’s kept outside on a covered patio. It gets morning light until noon. Gets bright indirect light after noon. I have not fertilized it the 2 weeks I had it.

Please help! My cat Palm is looking very sad! (The third picture is what it looked like a month ago). It had mites on it a couple weeks ago so I washed all the leaves with water then sprayed neam oil. Then again recently I noticed even more mites so I washed it with water and put neam oil again.

Help for Pete! My husband repotted our Cat Palm and he’s gone downhill since. We’ve tried watering more, less, taking him outside for more humidity and direct sun but he seems to be getting worse. He does have one green shoot but it flops over. Any thoughts on how to help Pete?
