So I need help!! I rescued this mini orchid from Home Depot and it had severe root rot. I cleaned it with peroxide and cut all the rot away. Basically the whole root system was rotted, and had spread to the leaves. It is now sitting in water. Any tips would be helpful!!
Help! My ivy hasn’t been doing super hot, and when I misted it today I noticed tiny webs on it. Is this spider mites? How can I fix it?
Anyone know what this is? It’s by 2 of my knock out rose bushes
Hello! My snake plant is doing fine overall. It’s just this one leaf that’s turning brown gradually. I pruned it a little on the top but that didn’t solve the problem. Any help?
Hi all! I noticed some brown cracks and spots on the leaves of my peacock plant. Need help with why it must be happening and some remedies for it. The plant has been growing well otherwise.
i have a catnip plant and it is dying. i put it in the sun with water then i tried without a lot of water and then i tried with only water no sun and it is dead. i think anyone know how to recover it? probably not but i just love this plant. the soil feels semi moist and the last time i watered it was probably a week and a half ago.
I also a philodendron who has crispy bits in her leaves and she doesn’t seem to want to grow much more than this. I’ve had her for a solid 8 months or so and she doesn’t seem to thrive anywhere I put her. Any recommendations??
Okay so I have a Swiss Cheese monstera, she’s growing INCREDIBLY leggy, with a solid almost foot between growths. A couple of the tips of the leaves are starting to get brown and crispy. It looks like something ate one of her leaves. Should I repot her? What else could I do to help her??
Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone can help me. I planted zinnias and started them indoors. While still inside, the leaves started to turn kind of yellow and crunchy/dry. I have tried fertilizer, fungicide and have been on top of watering/moisture. This is what they currently look like. I transitioned them outside but they still look weird. Are they lost? Or can I still save them? What should I do to improve them? All tips are very much appreciated!! Thank you 🌺🌸
Hello. I got this umbrella tree 2-3 weeks ago and thought it was a cultivar, but now that I am learning more, I think the spots are an indication of a problem? First of all, Planta ID’d it as an Octopus tree. Is that right? Second, the brown dots are not “on” the leaf, but rather in it (if that makes sense), and I don’t see any thrips or other pests. It does seem the longer I own it, the less dotted leaves I am getting but it has dropped quite a few after the repot. It seems to be stabilizing now though. Any help would be appreciated. PS: I show the underside of the leaves in an image. There is a different brown spot there, but that is not what I am showing.
My ficus teneke was getting very leggy. I just cut back 3 branches to the first node of each, and moved it outdoors for summer. Would it have been smarter to cut the main stem below the branches, where drawn, instead?
This is Spike and he is a really important plant to me. He was a gift from someone who is no longer around. I NEED to keep him healthy. I’m really worried because he’s been doing great for years. Now all of a sudden the leaves are turning white and drying up. I haven’t moved him out of the space he’s always been in. I did repot him about four months ago. Same type of soil, same watering schedule, same everything. Any ideas what I should do? Should I cut off the flower at the top? Could that be draining from the leaves? It’s never done that before though. Help.
Hello this is my string of pearls and I don’t really know what’s wrong with it. Some of the “leaves” are squishy and wilted and some are all dried out. I don’t think it has to do with lighting as it’s under a grow lamp. Please let me know what you think, thanks!
I don’t know what happening to my plant She was doing fine up until last week I don’t understand. Could someone help me out ? xx
Last year I had a lot of issues with fungus gnats, and from watering less often over winter and using mosquito bits and lots of other things I was able to control it a bit better. I’m worried about it coming back now I’ve just repotted some of them which is when I’ve found it gets bad each year while the plant is adjusting to a larger space. I have noticed that when my plants are in ceramic plant pots (in their plastic planters), they don’t dry out for weeks even in the sun, even the ones I haven’t changed the pot size with. Have other people had a similar issue and do you recommend leaving them out of the ceramic pots. Might sound like a non-issue but I don’t water the plants until I feel they have dried out a little bit (depending on plant), but plants I know like to be watered regularly are still damp on the top layer so I don’t want to water too much!
Not long ago I got this funny guy at Home Depot and in order to spare myself some blame, he did have a few brown crunchy bits on its edges when I purchased him but they don’t seem to be improving, but I am still getting a new leaf up top. Planta gives conflicting information like 50% under watering or 50% over watering (I guess i’m supposed to just commit to one or the other and hope for the best). I hope some more experienced plant people can take a look and make recommendations!
What are these little bugs on the trap?? At least i think there bugs they are super tiny 😬 i dont think i see more on my ppp but heres pictures :( They look like super super tiny gnats i think that i see wings on them.. and they have super thin kind of pointed at one end bodys. only really noticed because i was about to repot, should i still? tia
I’ve had this little guy for about a year now, he doesn’t wanna grow, but he’s not exactly DYING. He spends all his time in my back yard in almost full sunlight. I don’t water him regularly, but I make sure to do so when the soil is dry. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make him start growing?! He hasn’t budged!! I want him to live up to his size, but I’m not positive that I ID’d him properly. Any and all help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
‼️🚨 Hello, so I was looking at my plants and on my golden pathos I noticed this weird route sort of thing on my plant and then I saw these brown things. They’re not bugs but like they’re weird I’ll show you guys some photos. Do you know what they are and what I could do cut them or somthing Also took photos of the leaves because there’s a brown one. I don’t know if I should cut it off.
Guys i need help, this is my first ever plant and i really don’t want her to die. here’s what happened, so my aunt hage me this Doritaenopsis orchid when she found out i really liked plants and that i wanted to have one of my own. Every thing was going well at first (her name is Priscilla) i watered her every 7 days with cold water, put her somewhere with enough lighting but not directly on the light. But then the flowers started dying one by one , I didn’t know what was going on, till i found this app and found out that she needed a drainage sistem, my poor lil plant was drowning this whole time, so i made a drain for her with a knife ( worst idea i could ever have) I obviously cut myself in the process but accumulated water came out when i made the drain, water started falling out. Still I don’t think that will be enough, the roots of my plant are rotting, i’m worried she might not surive till next week please , i need help what do i have to do :(
