Bought this Dragonscale Alocasia from a nursery along with a bunch of others. All of them are doing amazing except for my dragon scale alocasia : ( She was doing great for the first few weeks but i noticed she was drying up so fast (along with other plants) and I figured it's because the heat is on and drying them out. So I put a humidifier near the plants for a few days on low and they were thriving! This one, the leaves were drying out, ends were turning crunchy almost. I was careful not to overwater by only watering a little every week and a half or so (top 3 in of soil are dry). Long story short, the plant was dying and I tried repotting it to see if it would help because I genuinely didn't know what else to do. Long story short, all the leaves died and I cut them off but this one sprouted and was thriving while the other leaves died. Now this one is literally dying and is on its last leg 😭😭 What do I do please help save my baby😭😭

I was just given this pothos plant. It was healthy when I got it a couple weeks ago but is not fairing well. I water and drain once a week. Had it outside for a bit but brought it in when we were looking at freezing temps, and now have it in the window. Total beginner so don’t even know where to start. Any ideas what is ailing my little pothos?

help!!! My regal shields seems to not being doing too hot… I’ve lost some leaves and have been having some discoloration. I added something for it to climb to help the leaves from drooping as much. I feel like I could lift the entire plant right out of the soil…. I’m still a new plant mom and don’t want this beautiful baby to flop!! Any advice?! First two pictures are from today, 1/22. Screenshots are from yesterday, 1/21. Originally posted this an another group and have updated since: I watered it a day early with “Indoor Plant Food” that I have (you mix some with water) and mixed up the soil a bit to see if I could make the plant sit deeper in the soil. I also plucked off a dead leaf. It is currently in my bathroom (where I plan to give it some extra humidity when I shower tomorrow). Any tips?!

My stingrays biggest leaf got attacked by spider mites, but surprisingly theres a new leaf, should i just wait for it to naturally die off or just let her help photosynthesize?

Help! Recently I underwatered my Bonsai tree but even after I gave him water (a week ago). His leaves are still dropping and he barely has any left! They are also turning yellow. I have him under a grow light too. What can I do?

Hi everyone! I was wondering what are the spots on my Monstera adansonii? I’m not sure if it needs more nutrients or it is some kind of disease 😕

I just got this baby two days ago from Home Depot and it’s my first Bird of paradise. I am determined to not only have her grow, but thrive! However, I am no expert! Do I need to evaluate the soil? Should any of these leaves be trimmed off? Help!

How should I save my plant? I just got it and it came in like this. I’m not exactly sure what it is. Should I cut off the droopy leaves? Should I repot it? Thank you

Anyone have any idea what happened to my fig plant and also how i can go forward properly? I bought the plant a month ago and the top light leaf is the first growth since ive owned it. Ive heard anywhere from over watering/underwatering, too much sun/too little sun etc Im a novice plant owner, ive managed to keep most of mine alive and to continue growing although i do not know much about the specifics. Any help would be appreciated

My daughter in law gifted this to my son and obviously he’s not a plant guy and neither is she lol. So they gave it to me to try and “bring it back”, it was severely dry so I sat it in water to have as much as it could for now any tips are greatly appreciated 😊 tia
