I knew I shouldn’t have watered her. Rookie error. Guess my ZZ might not see it through till spring🥹

What is it?? My Kalanchoe is starting to bloom for the first time. It is on the end of the left stem. However, I just noticed this pod thing along the same stem. It is well attached and firm. I have never seen anything like it and I’m worried some alien insect is going to emerge.

I am growing some microgreens but I have just realized that the ground seems a bit fuzzy, I think it might be molding. What should I do? Are the microgreens unedible? Is there anything I can do to remove the mold? I am letting them air out to avoid anymore mold growing since they were covered with lid to maintain humidity.

Hello! My spider plant was so happy for a bit and kept growing but it was in an incredibly small pot that couldn’t hold water and so eventually stopped growing. I tried repotting it and think this was a mistake as it’s now lost so many leaves and I think the soil might be too wet. Any advice on what to do that won’t shock the plant even more? I attached an earlier picture too to show the difference that’s happened in one week.

What do you think I should do to my Thai monstera she was not droopy yesterday. I changed her soil yesterday because I got her at Home Depot a week ago and her soil was very drench. I took all the soil out and rinsed the roots and even cut half of the roots to be sure she did not get root rot. Today I wake up and she like this. Please help

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my Monstera and how I can fix it? I bought it less than a month ago, it’s still in its nursery pot and I haven’t watered it yet because the soil was very moist. It’s near a south east facing window.

I don't remember having this problem before. I ordered an olive tree online. It looked OK when it got here but the soil seemed absolutely drenched so I repotted it. It then dropped all its leaves but it's still alive. The soil isn't overly wet. So why the heck am I getting mushrooms? Lol anything I should worry about?

About a month ago, I started noticing brown tips on the leaves and what it looks, as though something is chewing on the edges of the leaves, but I do not see any bugs in the soil or in the plant itself. Any idea of what may be going on?

I recently got this alocasia dragon scale and when I brought it home the soil was super wet. After the first night (I don’t like to repot my new plants unless there’s obvious issues) I noticed some yellowing on the tips so I waited until 4 days later I noticed even more yellowing. So after checking the super wet soil I decided to give it some better draining soil. So I did but now the leafs are curling and the tip looks white. Any advice or suggestions would be very appreciated! Happy planting 🪴

Lucky Bamboo only in water, used to be super lush and healthy. It’s been on the decline for a couple months and I’ve just been cycling water as usual. The only thing has changed is there is another stalking growing out of the bottom. Any ideas what to change?

Just got a rosemary plant over Christmas and repotted it when I got home before NYE. South facing window and well draining soil but for some reason an entire side is withering which used to face the sun. I was under the impression rosemary loves light and was surprised to find it like this. Any ideas on what it needs? Soil is moist so I’m not watering.

Curious if anyone knows why the one leaf is going south? Rest seems to do fine. Water when it drys out. Have it under grow light in East facing window. It does stay wet for a week or so before it starts to really dry out so it gets water every 1.5-2 weeks
