my chinese money plant is recovering from being overwatered, her last brown leaf just fell off. all the leaves look healthy but the baby leaves at the bottom are starting to look like they need to be watered, but i’m scared to water again and undo the process of drying her out. thoughts? it’s been probably a month since i watered and repotted her about 2-3 weeks ago.

i’m panicking cause my paddle plant that’s never had issues is suddenly looking bad. i haven’t watered in a month and his leaves are dropping. the soil is still moist about halfway down so i’m not sure why he’s dropping leaves😢 i’m conflicted does he need water or not? they browning leaves are hard and crunchy, but then there’s this seemingly healthy one that just plopped off but it a little squishy at the tip.

Does anyone know if I should cut these larger leaves off of my prayer plant? I left town for a few weeks and most of the leaves died off because I wasn’t watering it, I’ve been back now for a few weeks and I see new growth but these older leaves seem to be dying too now. The leaves are still very green just curled up on themselves so I’m not sure if they’re too dead to save.

Today I repotted my American rubber plant and noticed a lot of light brown, almost clay-like dirt all along the bottom. The soil started off dark brown-black, like the soil next to it here. Should I be worried? It looks fairly healthy otherwise. (It also has a healthy fungus that’s been living on it for a while. Maybe that’s the issue?)

Update as of 2/16 It’s been a week since I repotted, trimmed the dead leaves off, and put my corn plant under a grow light. I’m concerned that I didn’t fix the original problem because the leaves are continuing to turn yellow/brown. Is it too soon to be worried? Is my plant just trying to recoup from being repotted? I’m wondering if there is anything else I can do to try to save this one from the plant grave yard. Looking for any helpful advice/tips. Thanks everyone! Original post from 2/9 Please help! The leaves on my poor corn plant have started turning yellow and brown on the tips. The app suggested it was due to being overwatered/lack of light. I don’t think that it’s been overwatered because I’ve been following the watering schedule and made sure that the soil was dry before I watered it a couple of days ago. I currently have it sitting under a grow light to help give it a boost. Is there anything else I can do to help save it? Appreciate any recommendations for saving this one before it’s too late. Thank you!

Why is the bottom half down and top half up?

any tips of how to heal my baby? she's been repotted into a bigger pot and put in with new soil, fertilizer and i'm keeping up on watering her. i believe it's due to one of my cats snacking on her leaves... im watching him closely to make sure he leaves my plant alone. (yes, i know these are toxic to cats. my cat is fine)

So I want to start growing plants and purchased my first plant the money tree. It began getting cuts on the leaves and I was making the mistake of direct sunlight so maybe that’s why but are those slight cuts on the leaves normal? Please any recommendations are appreciated

This is Stevie my dracaena fragrans. My mother in law gave him to me on his death bed. I’m needing help on saving his life right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone tell me what the brown spots on my African Violet’s leaves mean?

I got this weeping fig a week or two ago, and I’ve just noticed this mildew-like stuff on it. When I scratch it it rubs off, and it’s definitely not a living insect as far as I can see. Any ideas? Thank you!

What are these spots? At first I thought it was sun damage but it’s more raised, almost like some sort of plant eczema. Help!!

Hello! New here, and new to plants as well! Curious if these mushrooms growing in my plant soil are a bad sign? Thanks!

Help! My leaves are turning yellow and I don’t know why. I may have overwatered it 10 days ago so I’m not watering it right now. I have a light for extra sun because I’ve been told the plant might not have enough light. I replanted it about two weeks ago. I don’t know what to do 😭
Unhappy Maggie
Hello, I’m a plant dad, and I really need help, my Majesty Palm (Maggie) that I’ve had for 5 years is not doing well. I don’t know what to do. I noticed here not doing well so I repotted her, while doing that I separated her roots. She’s not getting better. She’s turning yellowish brown, a new leaf sprouted and died before it grew. The pot is huge, and the soil is wet closer to the bottom but kind of moist towards the top. Because of that I’m scared to water her because of the fear of over watering. Maggie has been with me through som really times I’m extremely sad and concerned about her, I don’t want to lose her. Someone PLEASE HELP

Hi there! My bamboo shoots are all yellow, i’m thinking from fertilizer. The side shoots are both pushing out a new leaf. Any advice? Should I cut the side shoots and propagate in water for a bit? :/

Are these long enough or enough to plant?

Hi all! I’ve been going nuts with fungus gnats for a while now and I was wondering what soil people use and if they have a better option? I’ve tried miracle gro and espoma but both have tons of gnats fresh out of the bag. I heard it can be about how the store stores the bag? I liked fox farm happy frog but definitely got thrips from it (timing, location, reintroduction). I know gnats aren’t a huge problem, and pests are a part of plant parenthood, but I’m just trying to see if there is another option? I even got into carnivorous plants, but I still feel like I’m constantly surrounded by gnats. I’m not ready to go semi-hydro but I would be willing to mix my own stuff if that is what it takes. (Picture unrelated 😊)

Can someone please tell me what this white fluffy stuff is on my cactus
