any insight as to why my bird of paradise leaves are curled? i moved her to a brighter location with humidity and she started to grow a new sprout as you can see, but her leaves are yellowed on the edges and curled. her roots (white, thick and solid) are also starting to poke out from the drainage holes making me think I should replant? researching online was a little too broad any help would be appreciated!

Any ideas on why some of the new growth on my pilea looks like this? It’s only happening on one stem. Never seen it do this before. It recently flowered quite a bit, so I assumed that stem was happy. 🤷🏻♀️

Looking for help on an EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE SOP I bought that I need to avoid the death of at all costs. I got it from an influencers first live sale and most of you would cry if you knew what I spent on it, but I didn’t mind because I was supporting her.
Anyway, I didn’t repot it or water it immediately when I got it because I knew that could kill it. I waited until the first time it seemed like it needed water, then repotted it in succulent soil mixed with bonsai mix (with lots of tiny stone chips). I think it is overwatered, because it was last watered 10 days ago and the soil still feels a little moist. My moisture meter says it is dry, but my finger thinks it is slightly damp. I had it in a macrame hanging basket and I am wondering if the cotton cord soaked up some of the drainage and kept the soil moist? Either way, sections of pearls are starting to die.
The first pic is when I first got it and the next two are from today. Planta diagnosed it as fungus?

I ordered some plants from tik tok shop and it was a horrible experience. I FINALLY received my plants after weeks and the plants weren’t in great shape. I checked the roots and a lot of them were dark brown and mushy. Is that root rot ?

Hey people! My poor miniature umbrella tree is not exactly thriving.. stem has turned brown and many of its leaves are falling :(
Send help as soon as you can. Hopefully she pulls through.
I wonder if I might’ve over watered? I just recently left for a trip and gave her an extra misting.

Money Tree Issues
Hey guys! So I just returned home after a couple days away to find that my money tree is basically dead. I was wondering if you all could give me tips on how to bring him back to life.
Thank you!

Has anyone dealt with blight in indoor flowers before? How easily does it spread (is top shelf safe from second shelf plants??) and what did you use to control it (sprays, just fully getting rid of plants/dirt?)

Why are the leaves falling off?

Hi :) so I have a handful of these sundews and I LOVE them. My only problem is I’ve been having issues with them losing their dew and or getting dry. I usually have them sitting in water and whenever I notice the tray is empty I refill it. Is there anything I’m doing wrong and/or could do to make them happier? Let me know your thoughts , thanks! :)

hi! my parlor palm is looking a little funky… i think i had it previously too far from the window, so that could be the problem. i just moved it closer, and the warning went away, but is there anything else i should do?

Does this plant have mold? I checked the roots to look for rot but I didn’t see anything. The white spot on the stem there and the bigger white circles on the leaves are concerning me. Could it be some kind of pest?

I have had issues with my Thai plant since I brought her home from Aldi. I have repotted her and done everything. I could figure out why she was losing all her leaves. I had originally thought it was the shift and temperature because she was being kept by an air vent. So I moved her, and she continued to lose all of her leaves. I have since noticed new leaf sprouting and been feeling very good about her. But today I found spider mites. Will a solution of water and isopropyl alcohol work to kill then and how often should I treat?

Does anyone have any ideas about why my monsteras leaves are turning yellow? Now it has a big leaf slowly turning yellow and now brown in the center. I’ve been careful not to over or under water but he doesn’t look the happiest. My best guess would to probably be repot him but wanted soy see if there were any other potential issues.

I didn’t do much research on these until I already had them in the ground ☹️ I’m assuming they’re starting to look like this because they aren’t getting enough water? But I water them everyday, so I’m not sure how to help them or if they’re too far gone. Any insight is welcome! 🪴🤍
