I would love some help on this palm.. got it like a month & a half ago. Why does it start turning yellow? I’m scared to over water it so does anyone have a routine that works? I probably watered it twice since I got it 😬It sits under a 11w grow light for 12 hours daily.
I have a bunch of these plants but none of the others are doing this. The leaves are turning yellow and falling off. With my other elephant bushes the leaves will shrivel up and then fall off if it's too dry, but these leaves are really plump so I'm not sure what's happening??
Hi! I’ve been regularly watering my Christmas cactus as it starts to dry out, and it was doing really well until about two weeks ago. It’s under a grow light for eight hours a day, and the soil is currently damp, but it’s been droopy and hasn’t perked up no matter what I’ve done. Dr. Planta says it’s underwatered, which is what I thought at first too, but extra water hasn’t helped, and neither has cutting back on the water. I wanted to see if anyone else had better ideas, as my other cactus (red pot) is doing really well. Thanks in advance!
Hey all I have a purple inch plant and recently it lost most of its vines. I trimmed the end of each vine and have them in water hoping to propagate them again. Does anyone have an explanation for why this might have happened?
Hi All, First post! I’m in Zone 6B, Buffalo, and this past summer was my first experience with cucumber beetles and they ruined my entire cucumber section in the raised bed. My question is should I clean out the entire raised bed (8’x4’) of all of the dirt to get the overwintering beetle eggs out or is there something I can do to the soil to kill the eggs before spring that won’t hurt my vegetables next summer.
This Hoya is about 4 years old and while it looks healthy, some of the leaves have turned white. They are still firm and healthy. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
I noticed some fungus gnats in my snake plant. I put some river rocks of the top and have sprayed with neem oil for the past couple of days. I will let it dry out completely before I water. Should this help get rid of the gnats?
i just noticed my polka dot plant had these flowers on them! i was so excited until i read online that it means the plant will die if they have them apparently so i snipped them off! i think my plant looks healthy but i am nervous! anyone have any advice?
I bought this lemon lime yesterday from Home Depot it’s looking a little rough
Can purple mums get root rot? The info tag that came with it said that they need to be kept moist.
I’ve had this Coleus in this vase since August, and everything seemed to be going just fine up until a week ago when I had to pluck one of the bottom most leaves off because it had turned brown and dry. This week, I had to take another bottom leaf out for the same reason. I notice the same thing happening to this current leaf too, around the edges. Anyone know what could be causing this? I keep the plant in a north facing window, it does get cold at night in this area because of fall temps recently. I change the water every week.
What is this???
Hi guys, I just got this money tree and these spots have shown up and the other side has some droopy sad looking leaves. Any advice?
Does anyone know what this yellowing could be? There are little black spots on it but they don’t appear to be moving. The plant always dries out between watering as well.
Does anyone know why my alocasia leaves are folding in??? bottom left has it the worst :( it’s a blue dragon i also have it in direct sun just to take the pic! it normally sits about a few feet away from the window and doesn’t get direct sun. also just watered it a couple days ago and it’s potted in tropical soil!
Hi! I have this plant in the sunniest room of my house and I think it's dieing does anyone have any advice.
I have this Baltic blue pothos I got on clearance and can’t figure out what’s wrong with it! It has white fuzzies at the ends of the vines and some brown spots as well. Please help!!
I know this is teeny; hopefully you can blow it up, and someone can tell me what this bug is. It’s body is hard; I tried squishing it because I thought it might be a flea. It was also very jumpy, kind of like a flea. My dog gets flea medication, and we’ve never seen a flea on her. Is this a flea, or a creature from Outer space??? TIA… 🤗💚🪴
Any suggestions on how to help my plant? It used to be so big a beautiful and now she’s struggling so much and leaves are drying up often ;( The watering schedule hasn’t changed. When the problem first started I repotted, weeks later when that didn’t work I moved her to a different spot to see if it would like that better. Now it’s been months of slowly losing all her leaves. Thanks for any suggestions!
I got this Peperomia Ginny in bad condition a month ago and she’s just getting worse. I had her by the window but she started to brown. I moved her to a spot with only indirect sunlight. I thought maybe she needed more humidity so I did a pebble tray and have my little cactus humidifier by her. She’s still so sad looking. She doesn’t feel overwatered. Help? 😫
