What’s wrong with my rose painted calthea ? It unfurled a leaf that was like this. It’s not in direct sunlight and watered regularly but occasionally has dried looking leaves

Why does this happen to my plants leaves?

Hi so I brought a rubber plant last month and hand noticed dark green spots on the tip or edges of the leaves and have not been able to figure out what has caused it. Any advice would be helpful

I have 2 peperomia obtusifolia variegata and I'm worried one isn't getting the right amount of water. I waited until the soil was dry and watered until saturated and let it drain. One plant's leaves are firm and succulent-like, the other one is more flimsy. Should I re-water the flimsy one sooner or just wait until the soil drys out again?

The leaves of birds of paradise started curling. What might be the problem? It’s in front of an east facing window. Shall I move it to in front of a south west facing window?

I was gifted this Norfolk Island Pine almost 10 years ago at Thanksgiving Her first winter I mis-watered (under-watered) and several stems died. I have since corrected that. For the first several years she spent her summers outside growing big and tall in the southern sunshine. When she got this tall, she stopped going out. Now, the tallest trunk (8+ feet)struggles. I know she needs more light, but outside she will burn in the sun and/or continue to grow taller…. Which she cannot do and fit in the house. So…. What do I do to to help her? Do I cut the tall one down and let the short one take over? I have a mini Norfolk in another pot that I’d like to merge with this to make it bushier someday when the baby grows bigger….

I got a Calla lilly on clearance and repotted it in some well draining soil in a pot with drainage and many of the leaves have begun turning yellow at the tip and spreading inward. This happened very rapidly (within 3 days) does anyone have any tips to save this baby?

I have 2 pyramidal boxwoods flanking the front entrance to my home. I am noticing its leaves turning yellow/brown and curling. Upon spreading its branches and looking within, I noticed cobwebs and 2 different looking insects (see 2 photos attached). If anyone has an insight into how I should treat them as I would be quite sad to lose them I would very much appreciate your time and effort. Thanks in advance.

My prayer plant was soooo happy. She was sending out new shoots every few days and now she is not looking good. What is happening? 😭 I have her on a regular watering schedule.

I know I’ve asked this before about my Monstera but now I think Monte has some type of disease. So, I’m asking for someone to please look at these pictures very closely and give me help, not just advice. I’m disabled and I cannot lift anything so I have to get help doing that. Plus, I don’t comprehend or process information, so my husband does that to. I just do not want Monte to die. My plants and my birds keep me going everyday. I thought it was too much water, so I backed off. Then I thought it wasn’t enough sunlight so I moved him. Then I noticed the leaves are still changing to brown on the tips. Now I’ve noticed something that isn’t on the new leaf that just came out. It’s bumpy and flakes off when I scratch it. It’s on some of the stalks too.

Can someone post either a great Youtube instructional video…. or things to look for to know when it’s time to repot a house plant? Be as specific as possible

Anyone ever seen this? Watered my Pepperface today and saw that it was draining amber. No matter how much water I gave it, it was just more and more amber. I’ve only had this plant for a couple of months. It cohabits on a tray with 3 other plants. Indirect sunlight and grow light for about 9 hours a day, good airflow and humidity in the room. No pests noted. I have used the same potting soils for all of my other plants and they all drained clear. I did get a tinge of amber from my Tradescantia and Purple Oxalis (both planted in the same pot) and they sit on the same tray as the pepperface. I didn’t want to keep drowning them as they are a bit more fragile than the pepperface. Anyone able to help me? Again I have not had this plant for too long and I usually only just bottom water most of my plants it but I wasn’t able to do so today. In the picture it looks almost like coke coloured but it’s a lot more amber in person.

Is there any hope for this one?

Can anyone help with my caladium? She’s been great for so long and now over the last week, her leaves keep turning yellow and dying. I haven’t changed anything, shes in an east facing window. She’s got lots of new growth, but losing that as well once it unfurls.

PLEASE HELP! I am going insane. I have a lot of plants in my room and the fungus gnats love to party in them. I think their population in my room is decreasing, then BAM hundreds more. I have tried sooooooo many things. Vinegar traps, sticky traps, those light sticky traps, cinnamon, neem oil, hydrogen peroxide, bottom watering, drying them out. I am going to bleach my drains tomorrow and try watering my plants with mosquitoes dunks at some point soon. I would repot but the gnats keep getting into the soil and I definitely don’t have enough for all of them, I also don’t think I have good quality soil. If yall have ANY tips to get rid of annoying bugs that love to fly right in my face or good soil brands then PLEASE SHARE.
