Can anyone tell me if it looks like I’ve removed all the root rot? Some of my plant leaves are curling up as if they’re dehydrated so I’m worried that they will not recover or I haven’t properly removed root rot. I plan on moving the plants to either LECA or PON but I want to try and make the roots a little stronger first so that hopefully they don’t die while they’re going through shock from the substrate change

This app says I shouldn’t water my prayer plant for another five days, but it’s looking a little worse? Its leaves weren’t this curled a couple days ago. Left is before, right is right now. I repotted it a couple days ago if that’s important

My Thai Monstera leaf has is browning. The spread seems to be slowing down but definitely still expanding. I also have a few roots that are pushing out of the soil upwards. The plant is overall very healthy and is expecting a new leaf to open up any day now. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do to keep this plant healthy?

I just got this monstera about 2 months ago and it’s been putting out this brown, crispy new growth. The first picture is a fresh leaf and the other two are just two different stems that I’m noticing. Any ideas with what’s happening?

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?

Can someone help? I am a novice plant person and have no idea what is happening…I propagated this pathos and she’s not very full. What am I doing wrong?

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?
