I’ve had my spider plant for over a month now, and I can’t help but think it looks a bit sad. I’ve never owned one before, but the leaves are warped and furling inwards in lots of places, and there’s also strange nicks and bits that have gone crispy despite me not noticing any damage when I originally bought it. I’ve been following Planta’s watering instructions so I don’t think it’s that, and there’s no bugs on it from what I’ve seen. Is this from too much sun? Too little? What can I do to help it thrive? Thank you! (Sorry for the poor image, I wanted to show as many of the areas of damage as possible within in the one picture limit.)

Hi all!😄 I’m trying to improve my cissus discolor’s care because she has been tough🥲. I am wondering if where I have the humidifier is good enough for her because I know she is a humid loving gal. Thanks!!

This is one of my prized possessions, and they haven’t been doing well for a while. I thought I was over watering but some of the leaves have brown spots while others turn completely yellow (pictured) so I’m not sure. No pests, and it’s about 10 feet from my east facing window that gets morning sun. Please help!

Help!! My monstera Peru was doing so well until she got an infestation of spider mites after being attached to a moss pole :( I sprayed down with water and wiped everything with neem oil and repotted in leca. I thought I was being smart since spider mites like dry areas, but then she got root rot!!:((( Now she is back in soil but I’m worried I cut off too many roots. Should I be worried??

What's wrong with my garlic? The other 3 seem to be doing ok. I have it in full sun and am trying to keep the soil moist but not soaked. Should I be letting the soil dry out a bit more?

I keep having issues with my spider plants. They all seem to be drying out and dying. I am sticking to the care plan. Any ideas why they do that? My other plants seem to be doinng fine, so I don’t think it’s the temperature in my flat.

Calathea orbifolia concerns Hi I’ve had my calathea for about 2months now. She’s thriving but I’ve noticed that all of a sudden her leaves started to get these brown spots. I’ve attached the pictures. She’s next to a humidifier, gets plenty of sun. I checked her soil, it’s pretty much moist. Is this something that could be fungal? It is getting a little cold, so not sure if that correlates as well. Anything helps! She’s my first plant so I want the best for her.

Hello, I am curious to know if my plant watering should change during the winter as well as using a fertilizer. I live in the Midwest so we do have extreme weather. Thank you!

I purchased a Lavender plant and after a few days, it has turned into this. I have no idea what happened. I kept it outside for lots of light, water, etc. I brought it inside my garage to protect it but it hasn’t turned around. Any advice?

I woke up to these fungi popping up on my monstera. Is that a bad thing ?

Hi everyone, need help with my white gardenia. She’s placed in 6+ hrs sun, receives good water amounts everyday, and continues to grow new small leaves. She’s also getting supplements once a week. She’s also losing more leaves than what she grows and is just sticks. Blooming season in my area seems to be around March, now i’m concerned she’s not going to recuperate before then Any help and guidance is appreciated 🙂

New to plant care and am wondering if anyone has suggestions with what to do with this guy! It’s a hearty plant that has been around for decades over twenty years but is looking pretty wild and unruly these days!

Can anyone help me save this? I think it might be a philodendron. It was in a hanging basket when given to me. I want to trim it off and restart from the stem. Is that possible? New to this, so be nice 😅

had my fiddle out on my part shaded south porch all summer and barely any growth, maybe one or two leaves. haven’t seen a new leaf in months. i’ve tried repotting but then the pot is too big and it rots. tried more fertilizer or propagation boosts, still no new growth. have also tried notching to no success. just moved inside for winter and is set up on a grow light that i’ve also tried different lengths on, it’s acclimated okay but still isn’t growing. i’ve beheaded her a few times and each prop grew just fine and were sold off. what can i do?

Does anyone know what’s happening to my mint? the leaves look fine and there are even new leaves growing but the stems look dead so I can’t tell if this is normal. I was thinking it might be something seasonal but where I live there are no seasons so i’m confused.

How many pouches of beneficials do indeed like per plant? None of my plants are that large and I have around 100 but they are all close to each other for the most part. How many should I be getting, it’s for thrips!

Argh! I posted earlier today about noticing that the back of the leaves of my peacock plant were sticky. I checked my other plants and sure enough, my pin-stripe calathea had at least one mealy bug. It had sticky leaves, also. I repotted and hosed off the peacock and pin stripe calathea. I isolated all my calathea in the garage because they were near each other. So I found one mealy bug on my favorite plant, a Thai constellation. I repotted the Thai and the deliciosa right next to it after showering them with a hose. My monstera deliciosa was two in the same pot. One wasn’t as healthy as the other so I tossed that one. The roots on the Thai and the remaining deliciosa both looked good. I watered ALL my plants with arber insecticide. Is there anything else I should do? How soon should I treat them again with the arber insecticide? I’m hoping I caught it early enough to save most of my plants. About a week ago I threw away a Dottie calathea that was in terrible shape. I thought it was because I had left the window open and it was too cold that night. Now I’m wondering if it was mealy bugs. I got two alocasia this week and while they’re mealy bug prone I don’t see any at all on them. I think it might have been the calathea, not them.
