My fiddle leaf has been growing leaves like crazy, but the most recent ones are not looking too great. Any ideas for how to solve this problem?

My bird of paradise has these white spots that were previously just on the lower trunk but are now all the way up the stems. Can anyone tell me exactly what this is and the most effective way to treat? Do I need to repot?

My white wizard is turning brown only on the white parts. It is under a grow light, doesn't get too much water and is surrounded by other plants so im hoping it's humidity is up. It is still producing new growth. Google says it could be overwatering, underwatering, too much light, not enough light.... so just unhelpful and confusing. What do you guys think? Any tips? I love it so much and don't like seeing it like this!

I have my peace Lilly from my grandfathers funeral and it isn’t doing too well. I have it in indirect light and on a watering schedule. What to do for it to be healthy again?

bought this aenonium at a gardening event for about 10 dollars. i’m very new to taking care of plants, and i find this one very beautiful so i don’t want to risk losing it. it looked healthy at first, but when i took it home and inspected it further i found that there were a bunch of black spots on the underside of the leaves. i had it in water for a couple days, changed the water out when it needed it, and it is now in soil. i have sprayed it with pest spray and have been using liquid fertilizer, i have also cut off a few of the deadest leaves on it. does anyone know whats wrong with it? how do i help it? i know its a very juvenile plant, maybe this is normal. but i dont know! 😭

I moved my monstera into a bright location too quickly and I think it got shocked. I’ve had to cut off a number of he lowest leaves which have turned yellow very quickly in the last few weeks. Will it recover?

My Money Tree seems to be sick!!! I’m new to being a plant mom and don’t know what to do! I water it when planta tells me to water it. It has plenty of natural light as it’s right by the window. The area doesn’t get too much sun where it could kill the plant. I have had about 7 leaves fall off that were a brownish yellow! A party of me thinks the pot is too small and the plant doesn’t haven’t anything room for roots but I genuinely don’t know! Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!!!

I've been having problems with fungus gnats for a while now, i've tried hydrogen peroxide, neem oil, insecticidal soap, and insect killing spray from the store... none of them have worked. What should i do, i've been trying to water less as well.

I’ve had problems with this Alocacia plant since I’ve had it in late April. It’s routinely been losing leaves and its last leaf it lost turned pale and rotted. I checked the roots when I took it out and it looks like possible rot. Would you agree with this and if so/or not what should I do?

Does anyone use the Arber bio insecticide and what’s your experience with it? Does it work on spider mites? I’m looking for a gentle but effective treatment for my overly sensitive Calathea white fusion. Diluted Isopropyl spray burns the leaves and neem irritates my allergies.

I think this is starting to show signs of root rot. Can it be saved? What do I do to it?

My plumeria has a black spot on one of the branches and it is soft to the touch. The end of the branch is still green but there are no current leaves developing. Does anyone know what I should do or what this black spot is from? Should I cut the branch off? Please help!!
