This poor plant. 😢 My coworker knew I had a bad day a couple weeks ago and bought me this little heart cacti. I’m not even sure of the actual name yet. She forgot to bring it in from her car and then I was on vacation for a week. There it sat in her car. She gave it to me on Monday and it looked so bruised and sad. Determined to revive it, I watered it and sat it in my office. Then I decided to take it home to a sunny window. Sat it ever so gently on the middle console and when I looked back, it had tried to kill itself on my passenger seat! Scooped up what I could and took it home. Sat it on the table and my dog ripped it down. 🫣😭 So she’s repotted in some cacti soil and in the window. I’m sure she froze and won’t return but I don’t give up that easily. This poor plant.

Hey! We recently turned our Monstera to get light on the other side and suddenly this happened to his leaf. He’s never done this before and we’re a little confused about it 😅. Does anyone have any advice or any idea what it is?

How it started vs how it’s going 😭 the move upset it and I think the room it was in was too cold. It dropped leaves left and right and ended up looking leggy so I pruned it back and kept the tops to propagate. Fingers crossed it doesn’t die on me. Any tips would be appreciated.

How do I help my Calathea Stella!? It seems dry by the roots/stems but the leafs are turning soggy and yellow..?

Does anyone know what these are? They’re EXTREMELY tiny, very round, and a slightly transparent white. I have treated this plant with steinernema feltiae and they definitely don’t look like thrips. The plant itself is doing really well.

Hey y'all! I've had my fiddle leaf for 3 years. It has adjusted very well to many things but recently I've lost 2 leaves and see new brown spots. I often water using hydrogen peroxide to avoid root rot. I did recently moved her spot in the house not sure if it could be that ? Adding pictures for reference of a falling leaves and brown spots !

Any advice for my maidenhair? ☹️
I've had it for a month and it's been doing really well - until I came home yesterday to find it curled up, dull and almost crispy. Healthy pic from about 20 days ago.
I've been watering every other day or when the soil is slightly dry, misting about 3 times a week. I don't have heat or AC and the climate outside has actually been more humid than normal (I leave my windows open p much 24/7 as long as I'm home) so I'm confused!
Soil is what it came in, from a responsible plant store owner who mixes his own for each plant. It seems like mostly peat but I'm not 100%, it's very light and well draining but seems to hold water well.
Location, pot etc hasn't changed.

My red nerve plant has just slowly been losing leaves. I repotted him about a week ago in new soil and have been trying to keep the moisture levels right, but it is still losing leaves. Any ideas why?

What is happening to my little umbrella tree? The leaves keep turning brown - I just snipped a few more off today. I thought it might be root rot but the roots look pretty good to me. I also do not think it is overwatering - the soil is slightly moist right now but I think I have been pretty good about watering it the right amount. And it has drainage. Any ideas?

My snake plant has leaves that have begun to droop … so I’m wondering how do these roots look? Is this root rot? I honestly can’t tell the difference.
