Help! Sydney winter has killed my Pellionia repens… thankfully I have cuttings propagating in a container but is there anything I can do for the main plant? I had her under a grow light inside, with other plants for humidity - the area does also get natural light. Photo in the sun is just to show the damage! Dropped leaves, blackened-shrivelled leaves, spongy vine…

Hi everyone! This is Betsy and she's my first corn plant. She’s very wabbly at the bottom and wondered if I should moved her to a bigger pot or smaller? My mom said since its top heavy it needs a bigger pot. Any advice is helpful!

Hello! This is a Calla Lilly, when I got it it was doing great with new soil and water and it’s drooping and browning and I’m not sure what to do. I water it once a week when the soil becomes dry below the first layer of dirt and I’ve added some fertilizer to it.

Hi my lovely people. It’s me again asking for pests advice. I got this beauty from the clearance section at Lowe’s she looks good but we all know garden centers and full of pests. I saw someone quarantines their plants in garbage bags and I wanted to know if any of you had tried that method, if it works, if it’s safe or what are your preferred methods for quarantine. Thanks in advance and anything helps and will be very much appreciated 🤗

Is something eating my plants? My plants have been growing undisturbed up until now and then when I checked on them this morning, I saw these really weird bike marks on them and I’m wondering if this is from some kind of animal I only really see squirrels and birds in my yard but we have had the occasional bunny trespass although my plants are raised off the ground like 30/35 inches

Would you consider this translucent? Am I watering it too much? I do watering when this app tells me to do it.

I watered my Devils ivy just a couple of days ago but the top and bottom soil was all dry today so my mom stuck it outside while it rained a bit. Still dry. Do you think it needs to be repotted? I’m using the shake ‘n feed for it and I make sure I water it as directed on here. I have only had it for about a month or so I think. Just want to get it in good health.

(Last one… for now lol)… noticed a bunch of white spots on my caladium. Could this be infected also or am I over reacting? You can tell me honestly lol.

Just repotted my angle pink nerve plant and noticed some white spots popping up… I put systemic granules on the soil and sprayed with spinosad to be safe (spider mites went crazy). Is this normal or is something wrong?

Hi! Anyone have tips for saving my Norfolk pine? I gave him a “shower” last week, so the soil is still pretty wet, but the leaves are so dry. Please help!

I need some help! I got my prayer plant around March 30th and I keep her out of direct sunlight, I don’t use stink water after finding out it could be to harsh for her, and I don’t have her near any air vents! What could I do to help with the yellow leaves and cleaning her off??

Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful day! My day has just gotten a bit better a friend who said she is killing her for leaf has gifted it to me. I'm hoping I can get your advice on the problem with it and how to take care of it. I've always been a little shy at getting a fiddle leaf. I hear there a little finicky. This one has dry edges on a number of the leaves. It has been losing leaves. She has recently repotted it in what looks like a very Spagna Moss type dirt. I would like to repot it into something chunkier and better draining. Should I do it right away? And what do you think the problem is as far as the leaves? I appreciate any advice and help. TIA.😊

I planted these Blackhawk’s Bug Bluestem perennial grasses and they are very unhappy. Can someone give advice on how to revive?

Hi. This morning during routine plant chores I found this curled leaf with webbing and spider mites on it. I've treated with dish soap and I've ordered Bios Plant Soap but it's in Canada and I'm in Texas so it's going to be a bit before it arrives. I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on whether I can use Captain Jack's Dead Bug on houseplants (I can get it tomorrow). What do y'all say? Captain Jack's to the rescue? Or no? Thank you. *ETA - I appreciate the suggestions for other methods, I'm trying to find out about Captain Jack's Deadbug specifically.

I planted some sugar pumpkins in late April to early May in solo cups. But a few weeks ago I accidentally dropped them down some steps, and they all spilled out of their cups and it was very chaotic. They all survived but I've been noticing some yellow leaves on them. They have been outside in heavy rain and aren't getting very much sun. That's because I've been keeping them under an umbrella to protect them from the rain. Does anyone know what is wrong or what I should do? I'll insert a picture of what they look like.
