Is this tree dead/dying? Is it supposed to be like this? No leaves have fallen off, although it seems discoloured and dry?

Just repotted this money tree a couple days ago and one of the stems started to turn orange and shrively like this. Anyone know what could be wrong with it?

Does anyone know what’s happened to my begonia? I got her 3 days ago and she was just fine. it isn’t sunburn as she’s sat in a dark room quarantining from my other plants before I introduce her to my collection She is in a self watering pot with regular water with a small bit of hydrogen peroxide in it (yes lower than 3%) because I have a small gnat problem and I don’t know if they’re in the soil I potted her in or not I removed the water yesterday and replaced it with regular water with nothing in it when I saw that this was happening to her. the big leaf pictured is the only leaf that has gotten worse in the last 15 hours

Anyone else have experience growing coffee plants? I have grown them for years and even bore fruit. I’m on my third round of growing them, with more care than previous attempts, but they have not been the best. Specifically, the leaves are a light green (not yellow and do not drop) instead of dark green. Any thoughts?

I received this Raindrop/Coin Leaf Peperomia in the mail last week and it’s been doing great until this morning. I found this grey spot that is hard to capture on camera, but is more like the green has left the leaf and it’s become a semi-wrinkled clear remnant of the leaf where the spot is. I’ve never seen this happen with any of my plants. I checked it for pests and root issues and I don’t have any pest problems with any of my plants and the roots look fine. Any help is very greatly appreciated. (To clarify, the brown stuff on the undersides of the leaves is just dirt, not a pest. It just got on the leaves from the soil and root check)

So this is what’s left of my split leaf philodendron! I watched all the leaves turn to mush one by one! This little sprout has remained like this for months? What is it and should it be covered with soil? So perplexed!

I put my plant outside for a month (in the shade) and it looks like something’s wrong. It’s had no progress on these two leaves coming out and I’m worried I fried it….does anyone know how I can help? Also some of the super damaged leaves are from when I rescued it but I feel like it got worse when it was outside.

Hi! I have a monstera in my bathroom that appears to be healthy & has recently grown a new leaf. However, its roots keep growing above the soil (see photos). I have repotted this plant into a bigger pot twice now, but each time it has a new leaf, the roots will grow above the soil in the new pot. Is this something I should be worried about? Do I need to keep repotting or should I leave it as is? Any tips are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello! I repotted my peace lily about 2 months ago into this bigger pot but I’ve already noticed roots coming out of the bottom! It seems way too soon to repot again but will it have enough room to grow if it’s already coming out the bottom?

Can someone tell me what this hungry hungry caterpillar is? And how to stop him from eating my entire plant?

Noticed these little yellow dots this morning! This is the oldest leaf and he is unfurling a new leaf. Do we think it’s just the leaf dying off?? I haven’t changed the watering routine and it’s in well draining handmade soil. No I do not follow plantas schedule. lol it has been hotter and I know frydek are super finicky so it could have also wanted water sooner because of the heat. Hmmm. Just hoping it’s not a disease!!! 🥰

Hey guys, I’ve posted before but with very bad photos; I managed to get some better ones These tiny white bugs are everywhere… in the soil, all over my plant pots - NOT on the plants themselves however, they stick to the soil. Are these soil mites? This was my initial thought but then I also think they could maybe be springtails due to the long antennae, but they don’t jump so I’m heading more towards the mites? Any help identifying them please so I know how to deal with them?

I have sowed some chive seeds around 2 weeks ago. I have just noticed these little brownish balls on them. It’s only on this one patch of the tray, the rest don’t have these. Any ideas on what it could be?
