I had bought this majesty palm on Home depot no even 1 months ago 😭😭 it started getting yellow tips and weird brown spots everywhere i thought it was too much sun but i got curious and check the roots it was almost all rot, i clean her up and cut all potential root rot and replant it Will it be okay? I hadn’t watered since i got her since the soil was pretty moist I also place it in a nursery pot with plenty of holes to breathe

Can someone help me with my watermelon peperomia? The trunk seems to be very weak. I just untangled it and now it’s completely falling over. Usually it is all crowded together and looks slightly droopy. The foliage looks fine to me, but the trunk is extremely weak. I guess it’s gotten “leggy” Can I fix this?

Anyone know what this little guy is? Had some pest problems recently so I’m a little paranoid. It flies if that helps with identification.

i’ve had this philodendron billietiae for over half a year now but recently it’s new leaves dried up and withered despite nothing changing in my care routine!! upon further inspection i think there’s and earthworm in the pot 😬 i’ve never kept this plant outside so i’m not sure how it got there or if it’s been there the whole time, but related to the plants symptoms or not; how can i get rid of this thing with as little contact as possible?? i know it prob won’t harm the plant, if anything it will help but i prefer to keep my room worm free haha (additional advice on the sickly plant would be appreciated aswell!)

I posted here the other day when I was pretty sure my orchid had fallen victim to fungus gnats. I set her into a clear bin with some yellow sticky traps and woke up to 3 or 4 flying around in there. I stuck some traps in my other plants as well and found my polka dot plant had one in the trap and one or two flying around her. I’ve put her into another bin away from the rest of my plants but I’m still worried the others have been infected now. What are ultimately the steps I need to take now? Should I let the plants sit until the soil has dried out completely (it’s been quite a few days since either of them have been watered), or should I take them away now and remove all the soil? I saw someone mention gnats are attracted to peat moss and miracle gro has been known to contain pests, I have peat moss added into a few of my plants along with perlite. The peat moss is not miracle gro brand but the other soil I use is. What brands would you recommend for good pest free soil? I’m a little stressed out as I’m still new to much of this and just very unsure of what to do moving forward. I’m doing my best to consider this a learning experience and I really really appreciate any help 🩷

Good morning, Planta residents! Popping in to share progress pics of my Micholitzianas. Only 1’s (Maxkowskii) leaves have been looking sad the past two days due to over-watering & over-fertilizing so I repotted her into a small cup I made holes for with a soldering iron to maximize drainage. Moreover, Greedy’s (Frydek) new leaf keeps coming in full speed, but it’s began to rapid-kill both of its oldest leaves. Any tips or tricks, alocasia parents? SOS. -thekintsugidav

Hey, I need help with my snowball succulent. I do bottom watering for the plant, and I noticed that it wasn’t taking in any of the water. When I looked back at it a few hours later, the water had turned this gross brown color, could this mean the succulent has root rot? Any help is appreciated - thanks!

Having a couple issues with a few different plants, hoping folks can help! Photos are added in reverse order of issue. 1. Pepper plant. Has tiny brown spots on its leaves, like the leaves itself are turning brown and the edges too. Still starting to put out flowers, but should I be concerned? (Last image) 2. Lemon tree’s leaves are turning yellow. Underwatered? It’s in such a small pot. Should we repot? (Third image) 3. Eggplant. This guys had some pest issues, and the leaves aren’t looking too good. I hear it’s often a “trap” plant so I guess that’s fine but is there anything I can do? (Second image) 4. Lettuce leaves still getting these weird spots. Any advice? (First image) 5. And one more thing, my tomato plants seem to be doing well but they too have some paler yellow leaves at the bottom. Normal as they grow or no? No picture attached. I water when the soil feels dry or moisture meter says as much. I give them regular neem oil sprays. Most of them get full sun or close to it, some like the lettuce I moved aside to try less sun. Thanks! Sorry for the long post!

How do I keep my plants safe from mealy bugs? It started with one plant, I put it in a corner of the balcony by itself so it wouldn’t spread to the others. I regularly sprayed with (forget what it’s called but it’s meant for mealy bugs, other pests etc) a solution containing neem oil. Another plant that’s always been indoors, far away from the infected one, also got mealy bugs. Long story short, I have at least 6 different plants with this issue now! They were all kept away from other plants, It makes no sense! And I can’t seem to get rid of them no matter what. Help!

It has good new growth on the other end of my golden pothos, but the back leaves are starting to yellow and get spots, is there a way to reverse this?? is there any way to prevent this from continuing?

Should I cut off my crispy leaves to my palm? I placed her outside for a period of time and she obviously didn’t like it (my assumption) any recommendations? Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know why my parlor palm has these brown spots. I am watering it correctly, I have it getting sun/shade for 6 hours a day and I’ve inspected it multiple times and don’t find any bugs on them. I have also noticed my plant is very yellow compared to others. Can someone help me?

Does anyone know what’s going on with my monstera? A couple of the leaves are turning black around the edges and there’s the one really prominent yellow leaf!! Any help would be appreciated

Can someone tell me what’s going on with my plant?

I have a snake plant that is having a weird struggle. There are sections of the leaf that are brown and drying out. I have repotted it in a better draining soil (bark, pearlite, short charcoal, coconut cor mix). The roots were healthy but there were not many roots, like 5… for a pretty large plant. No pests. Using filtered water. Is under a bright grow light. What exactly is going on with this snake plant?!
