Happy Monday! I bought this Corn Plant a week ago and it was like this when I got it. Is there any remedy to these brown spots? Any advice is appreciated! 🪴🫶🏾

Hey!! I’m kind of a new plant mom, I’ve have my snake plant for over a year & recently repotted him (my cat knocked him over 😭). I noticed though after 3 days he started to open/ spread out. I read somewhere to try & tie a string around him to influence proper growth. I’m open to hear others opinions on the possibly issue though!! 🥺💗

Hello! I got this peace lily from Home Depot and noticed some small holes on a few leaves. I don’t think it has any pests other than one or two gnats, could gnats cause this or is it something else? Also, should I cut off the damaged tissue?

Schefflera issue! Yellowing leaves that are in the middle of the plant. There is fresh new growth at the top during this. Had 1+yr w/o issue and now half the plant (3.5ft) is dying. It gets great light; watered according to water meter; occasional fertilizer. Has had scale infestation with lots of sticky honeydew before and hasn’t had yellowing leaves like this. Manually remove scale every few months. Use systemic. None of those things should cause this though. Any thoughts?

My tradescentia was growing beautifully until it outgrew its pot and I waited too long to propagate it. This was my first ever propagation (new to plants except cacti and succulents). This is what it looks like now ~4-5 weeks post procedure. I don’t think it’s going to grow like this, should I just toss it and start again 😢 I tried to water prop one and I either cut it too close to the node or it just died.

Hi everyone. I recently (2 weeks maybe) bought this plant from a garden centre n the poor little guy wasn’t doing to great. I believe him to be a white agloanema and from what I’ve read they don’t love much water and when I got the poor guy he was drowning in wet soil. I left him for 2 weeks to dry out but was seeing no improvement so decided to repot him and I’ve left him In dry soil for two days before watering. I’m hoping this helps but does anyone have any suggestions to speed up the recovery process?

Hello Everyone! My baby is not happy and I can’t put a finger on it! He is drooping and typically stands tall I will attach a picture to show how he normally looks. I’m thinking he is thirsty but I watered him a few days ago. There is no yellowing so I know I didn’t overwater! Maybe he could use some more ? The leaves also have some brown spots at the bottom of the tree! So maybe sun burn?

Hello! My jade plant has been dropping leaves like crazy and most of the leaves still on it feel a little squishy. I’ve also noticed this weird black growth on it. I don’t think it’s a watering problem, but I’m not sure what could be affecting it like this. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you :)

please help! i’ve had this string of pearls since last April and it’s absolutely thrived until a little over a month ago. as you can see, all the growth on one half of the pot almost completely dried out/died. i originally thought this was due to that one side not getting enough sun, but even after moving my plant, the strands seem to keep shrinking and turning brown. Maybe not at as a drastic rate compared to before, but i want to get it to stop!!! i love this plant so much, so any help would be amazing

My bonsai has just lost pretty much all of its leaves. About a week about I sprayed it with water with a little bit of washing up liquid to try the kill some aphids but now this has happened, will it survive?

Help! Thrips have infected all of my plants, all of my previously healthy, happy plants are now dying. I have been using a homemade insecticide spray every other day, and putting DE on the dirt every time I water too. They have not left or even slowed down, it’s really sad, especially because the worst plant is a golden pothos and she was a cutting of a cutting from a great grandma. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

What’s going on with my Coffee Plant? I know this winter has been hard but I don’t know how to help it? Most of the leaves seem super dry and brittle. But some are still looking healthy. What should I do?

The bottom leaf on my Birds of Paradise is turning yellow, but the rest of the plant is doing wonderfully and even frowning two new leaves! This happened a few weeks ago with the bottom small leaves as well. Normal for winter? Overwatering?

Hi! I just got this little dude yesterday. It looked completely fine yesterday, but I got up this morning and one of the leaves looks funky. Does anyone know what might cause this and how I can fix it?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew a good way to get rid of fungus gnats? I already tried putting apple-cider-vinegar and dish soap in a cup and putting it next to the pot, that worked well but it didn’t quite get all of those pests… If anyone has a better solution please let me know!
