Hi yall! I adopted this chive plant from my husbands coworker, it’s growing pretty well but was wondering if there’s ways to make it fuller? The whole base of it looks dried but I don’t want to hack at anything that’s essential.

Since repotting my golden pothos (due to mold growing on the soil twice even after neem oil) she has since gone droopy. The first two photos are of her sad self now, the last photo of what she was. What could be the cause of this? Lighting is not the issue as I have 3 other pothos on the same table as her and they are just fine.

Leaves are already dropping on my new Ti plant. Very new to plants so not sure what to do? Haven’t planted it in a bigger pot yet. Gets sunlight through the window most of the day. Could it be the AC in my apartment?

Leafy

I found this tiny thing on a plant I bought recently, and I was wondering if it’s scale? It was a bit stuck on the leaf but did come off with a bit of gentle force, I didn’t notice it damage the leaf thankfully so I thought I’d share it and see if anyone recognises it.

Dont pay to much attention to my natives outdoors because they’re very self sustaining, just realized my 7 FOOT white sage bush is INFESTED WITH SCALE. I’ve never dealt with such infestation outdoors and it’s seems way worse because it has no bounds outside lol. Gonna prune it back a lot tomorrow (👎😩) but what the f**k do I do. I don’t want to use pesticides.

Anyone know what would cause this spot on my money tree leaf? It’s right at the tip on both sides. Everything else looks great and new growth coming in. Not sure if I can leave it or should prune

Is watermelon peperomia more sensitive than other peperomia? My peperomia are doing great with the exception of Walter. He came with damaged leafs, but as new leafs are growing in they’re just not looking great. He seems healthy otherwise, because he’s not droopy or losing any leafs. I take care of him the same way I take care of my others - bottom watering when the top inch or two are dry. I also mist occasionally and run a humidifier a few times a week. He also gets the same amount of sunshine. Do you have any suggestions. The new leafs aren’t coming in flat or eventually turning into flat leaves. Some of the damage on the large leaves is how he arrived, but I still haven’t seen him produce a really nice leaf yet.

Accidentally broke the end of a very long branch on my heart leaf philodendron 😳 Should I try to propagate the broken piece in water or soil? And is there anything I can do to fix the end of the branch or should I just leave it?

Hello everyone, I got this elephant bush with a few of my purchase a few days ago and I have noticed some gold brown crust on some of the leaves which are dropping like a slot machine 😩. When I got it I gave it a neem oil polish and and left it but today I spotted a white thing on one of the branches and a leaf. Can you help me? Not sure if I have a hidden bug infestation and cannot understand why Cassie’s leaves are dropping. I have not noticed anything else even gnats. Any help you can give this novice will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Hey. This year I’ve decided to get into growing a couple of plants. I have cherry tomatoes and runner beans and a sweet pepper plant. Noticed on both my cherry tomatoe plants that they have a couple of yellow / brown leaves. I think I might be over watering. As I’m watering almost every day.

Help please ! I have wanted a pink princess philodendron for a very long time now, and I finally got my first one! I got her about a week and a half or two weeks ago, from Meijer of all places. The tips of her leaves are withering/drooping, She just looks sad. I think she might be in the wrong soil, I’ve noticed that the soil just does not dry out in between watering and I think the drainage holes may be getting a bit clogged. I take her outside most days when it’s humid and sunny and set her on the porch in indirect light. I also have a humidifier that I live on around my more tropical plants. I always am cautious about repotting plants that I just got, but we’re coming up on the two week mark. Should I repot it in some well draining soil? It seems I’ve watered it about a week ago and it’s still moist on top. I’ve just wanted one of these guys for so long, since the first time I saw one- and it’s making me sad to see her so sad. :( First photo is the day I got her, second photos are today.

Just got a couple of new plants that are currently in quarantine, but spotted these black spots on them? Any idea what is causing it?

Any ideas about what is going on with this corn plant? Using a moisture meter and this app for watering. Browning/yellowing is not dry and crumbly. Is soft in nature. Too much sun? Fertilizer? Too much water? Too little water?
