Hello my plant peeps. I’m needing to chop & prop my beloved Fiddle Leaf fig. When chopping & propping Fiddy, should I let the cut end callous over before putting it in water? Or put it water right away? Or put it right in dirt (what kind? Dry? Moist?) Thank you!!!

I’ve seen a little knat flying around my plants. Does that mean one of my plants is infested. How can I tell which plant would have bugs??? Yikes. I’m a new plant lover. Am I over reacting. ?
My cat ate this little parlour palm. What can I do to help it? I moved it somewhere where my cat couldnt get it.

Kiddo’s Polka Dot plant is on a struggle bus. It gets plenty sun and is watered based on soil checks. Any suggestions to get it thriving again?

What is the best way to detangle a silver inch nerve plant? The way mine looks now after repotting it is driving me insane.
I’m totally beginner at this gardening thing and every google page has different advice. I built in ground garden beds / raised garden bed hybrid and planted two pepper plants and one butter crunch lettuce. The peppers are going great - lettuce not so much. I planted them all from starters from Home Depot. It’s been about 8 weeks since planting and the lettuce leaves kept getting yellow on the bottom and the lettuce head looked pretty full? so I just harvested the whole head. Now I’m worried it was too soon to harvest and I’ve killed it. Any advice?
The leafs tips keep turning brown and I have no clue what to do about it my mom gave it to me. It had been in my basement next to a window for a month what to do he is doing better and has a lot of new growth but still have some browning help
My plant Florest Kalanchoe doesn’t look ok. Some of the leaves are drying out. I water it every two weeks with tap water and place it away from direct sunlight like in the middle of my living room but after doing some research, it seems that it should be placed next to a window. Is it going to burn?
I am assuming this is mold…. The plant seems to be fine for the most part due to blooming for the third or fourth time this season…. I know I need to repot asap but would you guys suggest a bigger pot? a smaller pot? Is it too tall of a pot? Any suggestions will be most welcome. Thanks!
Does anyone know why Fern’s leave are turning pale like this? It’s like it’s only one stem at a time, and not the entire plant at once. I recently repotted him, even though it’s still winter, because his pot was too tall and I worried about root rot. He’s by an eastern facing window, and has rocks in the bottom of his pot since this one doesn’t have drainage holes and it was the best size I had for him until I can get a new pot I really don’t want him to die, and I’m worried whatever the problem is, it’s slowly killing him I used a different app that diagnosed him with an abiotic problem, but none of the ones I saw seemed quite right. The leaves would all turn pale together, not just one at a time. So I don’t know if that’s true or not
Hey guys I’m looking at my moon cactus and I see bugs flying in it please help me.
My snake plant that I rescued 3 years ago randomly started wilting in January. It has been perfectly happy up until now and nothing about its care has changed. I thought maybe I was overwatering and left it alone for a while which didn’t help but watering didn’t help either. Is it possible that it’s wilting because it needs a bigger pot? Thats the only thing I can think of
Hey y’all! I’m a relatively new plant parent and I just got this montesara 2 weeks ago. He’s been doing fine for the most part- has new leaf growth and seems to like the spot I’ve put him in. I’ve included some photos for context overall But I’m reaching out because I noticed this leaf in with the yellowing spot a few days ago and wasn’t sure what the problem is. Is this an infection, under/overwatering? The current pot it’s in has no drainage (the previous owners gave him to me in this and I haven’t reported into pot with drainage, so that could be the problem for sure)
My spider plant has developed reddish pink spots today, any help?
I bought this plant from Logees about 2 months ago. It arrived healthy and I followed the instructions to replant it in 1:1 sphagnum to perlite soil. A few weeks after repotting it began to show the symptoms shown in the attached pictures. It gets low intensity direct light from led grow lights on a 12 hour timer. I know the red leaves indicate it's still too much light so I will probably move it out from directly under the light. I am not overly concerned with the red leaves. I water with RO water when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry. The room it's in is pretty cold averaging around 60F. Before it started showing symptoms I had a minor case of fungus gnats that I treated with sticky paper and a soil treatment of mosquito bits. I haven't had any more problems with the gnats but not sure if the bt caused any harm to the plant. I've tried to treat the plant after showing symptoms by first adding sulfur to lower the ph which currently sits at around 6.8. I know the sulfur will take a few months to make a noticeable change to the pH so I also added a small amount of aluminum sulfate a few days later. Then, I added a slow release, 5-5-5 organic fertilizer to the soil. I chose to use organic because I read that the plant does not take well to high salt levels. A fungus showed up a few days after adding the fertilizer (see images). A week or so later I applied a foliar iron spray to address chlorosis. I have given it a few treatments with neem oil because I thought it may be leaf spot or similar. I havent continued with the neem oil treatment. I admit that I am just throwing solutions at the plant because I don't exactly know what is wrong with it, so any help is appreciated.
