An Aloe Dorothea was brought to me because it’s struggling and with the hopes that I could help bring it back. I’m not sure if it’s overwatered or maybe has a pest or disease. It almost looks like it has black scabs with many of the leaves curling in. It looks like it’s browning with some dried leaves at the bottom. The black spots are under, around and on top of some of the leaves. I’m also hesitant to place it next to my other plants before knowing if it might impact the others. Really looking forward to advice! ❤️ Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

I’ve had this money plant for about three years. Last summer almost all of the leaves and branches on the bottom part of the plant turned yellow & I took then off. The plant became top-heavy & stayed that way for a few months. However in the past few weeks it’s starting to list to the side. I’m not sure what to do since it’s healthy.

I’ve had my Hoya Kerrii for a year or so and water only when dry and recently she developed a black spot that was spreading. I checked the roots and there were no visible signs of rot but I transferred it to a chunky mix and a terracotta pot. Since then she has another black spot and the starter leaf fully yellowed. What do I do? There’s no signs of pests that I can visibly see.

This is Mars(I have her listed as an Aloe but Im really not sure) and Im not exactly sure whats happening. This was taken about 2 weeks ago before her repot. Ive had her for about 2 years or so and around last year I noticed she was loosing leaves a lot(they would dry up or start browning). So I finally decided to look and this(the photo) is what she looked like. Since I didn’t know much about what was wrong I decided to take off her brown leaves and put her in some succulent/cacti soil. If i could get any help with her that would be awesome!

Am I trippin’ or is it thrips? I brought my camelias indoors yesterday to save from frost. I isolated it, Neem oil - the works. This morning this dot showed up on my monstera 20 feet away. I woke up middle of the night to check if any critters came out on the camelias just in case and there was one slender bug slowly climbing my camelia. It met a swift end 🪦 and I sprayed another round of Neem oil. I checked all other plants in the vacinity. Parsley, Wisteria were doing fine. Monstera was doing fine no white dots at that time and now 8 hours later this ⚪️ popped up and has me concerned. Is it too symmetrical to be thrips? Or maybe this one is aesthetic? When should I spray Neem oil again? Any other recs?

My plant, Bop, was placed under a closed window and wasn't watered for a long time and she is loosing lots of leaves in an unhealthy condition. The leaves brown, not fall off, I take them off. I moved her somewhere with more sunlight and gave her water, so she's hopefully doing better. Is there anything else I can do?

Not sure what is going on with this plant. I've managed to keep it alive from a rescue rack for a year but it doesn't thrive and I am constantly cutting off leaves when they dry out and turn black. Picture this and LeafSnap both tell me it's a fern. Planta told me it was a croton. Lol. It's in a north facing window in a bathroom. I water it when the top turns dry and it doesn't sit in water. Any thoughts?

Can someone please help me with what is happening with my money tree. The leaves are falling some are yellowing slightly and there’s random holes on some leaves and I found a black spot on one leaf and the bottom of the tree by the soil is a bit wrinkled I thought it needed water but I may be wrong. I rarely am watering it.

HhhhhheeeeeEeeEEeyyyyy guysssss. Is this plant dead? Or is he just being dramatic? Hes hella crispy. But I've been watering him. Should I cut off all the crispy leaves and let him grow anew if there's still a chance he's alive? Or should I call it quits with this one. I swear he was alive a week ago

I just came to my grandmas house and her aloe Vera plant is kind of like molding. Random pieces of the plant fall off. Those pieces are really watery. It used to be in a small pot with very little drainage and she just recently moved it to a large pot with drainage. She doesn’t water the plant very often. Does anyone know what’s happening to it?

Anyone have any special tips for goldfish plants? It was a dream list plant that I ordered from a plant shop that I shop at but is two hours away. They sent me a 4 inch that unfortunately isn’t very bushy yet. It has a good root system that appeared to be healthy, but only about seven small springs of foliage that is slowly loosing leaves. It does have new growth and I repotted it into a much better draining soil and pot with more drainage but a couple weeks later I see no improvement. It’s still slowly loosing leaves and not absorbing water, which I’ve heard they aren’t very thirsty plants due to the leaf structure. The roots didn’t appear to have any root rot and I’ve been waiting for the soil to completely dry. I’m not sure what else to do for her, I’m afraid to give her dry soil for fear of repot shock because I’ve heard they’re finicky. I also can’t find any evidence of pests and I did my regular pest treatments in quarantine for a couple weeks as well. 🫠 Help, she mustn’t die on me!

My happy healthy Jacklyn has some yellowing…. It’s on its lowest 2 leaves so I’m guessing it’s age related? If it’s lack of light then I’m screwed as the suns setting by 4pm here in the UK atm 😩
