My plant a week ago when I got it vs today. I just transplanted my plant 2 days ago fully into the pot. (Before it was in a container that was put in the pot) The plant is now wilting. It’s an emerald gem. It gets pretty warm in my room and I just watered it. Is there anything I can do to save my plant?

my friend got a money tree recently, but it has started changing color. I had her move it out of direct sun, but seems to still be pretty weak. Any tips?

I’ve had this Fern for about a year and it’s been super healthy but after I sprayed alcohol on it to get rid of mealy bugs, these brown spots started spreading through most of the leaves. What is it and how do I help the plant thrive again?

Hello :) Wondering if anyone has any tips for this plant? I think it’s a weeping fig? According to planta. It used to have 3 trunks and now just one.

I have gnats! I am very much a novice and noticed some gnats around my plants. What can I do to get rid of them? Please help! I love my little plants and don't want to fail them!

Saved this aloe from target and it’s doing better than it originally was. Two of the leaves needed support but are getting stronger. Does anyone know what this could be on the leaves? Is it something i should be concerned about?

I saw somewhere you can boil the potting soil and it sanitizes it for a new plant, is this true?

Hi, I’ve never dealt with pests before - I just got a new money tree and I’m concerned that this is pest damage. What do you guys think?

Hi, I'm new to plant care and I'm hoping someone could help me with this. A few of the leaves on my jade plant have this texture on them, and I found two thrips on the plant which I removed. I've recently lost a couple of plants to thrips but I don't know if they present differently on this type of leaf. Is this texture as a result of thrips or could it be something else? I would be gutted to lose this plant too so any help is appreciated!

Help! My Norfolk Island pine has spider mites. I sprayed with an alcohol dilution and they went away. Now they’re back and my plant is brittle, dropping, and discolored. What do I do?

Hey everyone, I need some help with my Chinese money plant. About a month ago I realized I was overwatering it because some of the leaves were rotting at the ends. I cleaned the roots, gave it some fresh soil and adjusted its watering schedule. All was well for a while but recently I’ve noticed some of the leaves aren’t expanding and the new ones are growing brown. Is this still overwatering? I’m starting to think that the pot itself might not be draining properly.

Hello everyone! 🙂 This is Willy, Willy has not grown in quite a while and the leafs are kind of brown. When I re-potted him, the roots seemed pretty dry, and they sort of looked dead. I don’t know what to do? Or maybe this is the end for Willy?

Checked on my alocasia ninja yesterday and it’s roots had completely rotted, is there any saving this guy or should I call it a day? Thanks so much ☺️

Hello! Im really sad because I think I overwatered my baby rubber plant and I don’t know if it will make it. I put it in well draining soil and changed her spot to a sunnier room. Do you think she’ll make it? She has lost almost all her leaves :(

My Pilea needs some help. Some of the leaves are convex and some are concave. It sits mostly in a west window and has a small sansai grow light 12 hours per day. I water when the leaves start getting soft and bendable. Thoughts?
