I am newer to the plant world and hoping for some help. I transplanted my new Caladium and it is struggling! We are on day 9 of super droopy leaves that looking wilty and edges dry. I’ve been running a mini humidifier, making sure the soil is moist but not soaked and it’s getting indirect light. Ideas on how to bring her back to life?
New plant mama here. I have a braided hibiscus “tree” and her blooms are beautiful when they first come out but then they get this dark blackish spots on the rims? Does anyone know what this could be?

What is going on with this Rosemary plant? Looks like small whitish spots on the leaves. It’s in a spot now that gets about 3-4 hours of afternoon sun. Watering only when dry. Thoughts?
Even though I've had plants for years I still consider myself a beginner since I still make mistakes. Like root rot. It was a good few months without it. But recently 5 of my plants had it bad. I cleaned up the roots and put back in soil, and again rot, repeat, again rot. Almost to the point of all the roots being gone and having to start over. Two of the three (the first two) I just bought two weeks ago from a greenhouse. They were in a purely peat moss mix which I usually swap for my own mix. Usually this isn't a problem. But a week later they had rot. I left them for a week after bringing home to adjust before repotting. The other three I've had for a few months and upsized the pot a little while back but they also had rot at the same time as the other two new ones. Right now I have the cleaned up plants and cuttings sitting out to dry and I will pot up or propagate once callused. Just wondering if anyone's had experience with this? I've done the exact same process (repotting after bringing home from greenhouse) (or repotting into slightly bigger pot) and some plants thrive whereas others get rot and just about die.
Please help I’m newer to the plant world I was given this rubber ruby plant with these marks that are slowly moving to other leaves !! What am I dealing with and how can I fix it … this plant is quarantined away from the others currently
I had a terrible case of root rot and dying/browning leaves. I changed her soil to something better draining, cut her leaves to let her focus on growing roots, and put her in the smallest pot I have that’s got a drainage hole. I’m worried about her completely dying and I’d really like to avoid it. Anyone have any advice for how to help work her up and get her recovering?
My holiday cactus is looking sad and shriveled. Help! (i’m a plant noob)
Hello everyone!! So my mom brought this Calla Lily pink back from another house and originally from a grow house. I’m trying to figure out if these flower all drooping is normal and how to save it from the shock? Will the flowers come back or is it dying off 0: someone please help me assess this situation 😭
Hello all. What is this new shoot coming from my spider plant?
I have a Japanese Aralia with some leaf tips yellowing and browning. Is this a nutrient issue, a light issue, or a watering issue? No sign of pests.
we are getting a frost/cold spell warning tomorrow night. I have some outdoor plants there are about to flower. Is covering them with a sheet or plastic good enough to protect them?
Hi friends! Waiting for the ground to dry a bit before I plant this purple Veronica in the ground. I just noticed this discoloration on the leaf, it’s currently in my greenhouse while we wait for it to get dry outside. Any ideas?
Help me save my thai con monstera ☹️ these black spots and the brown thin spot showed up a few days ago, while this plant was previously doing great. Soil isn’t wet as she’s actually due for watering today. Has a good source of bright indirect light and nothing has changed recently.

Hey all!! Me again 😂 So I got this Japanese maple bonsai last Sunday, and I noticed today it has some yellow spots. I do keep him outside as the man at the shop told me. Are the spots from needing some fertilising?
Does anyone know why some leaves of my daisies fall off?
My jade plant keeps having its leaves dry out and fall off consistently, is that normal with its growth??
So Scales (Alocasia Silver Dragon) was purchased with about two small holes but I’ve noticed it appears to be spreading. (I purchased after Dragon Tales demise) My leaves don’t feel healthy like it’s lacking something. I didn’t purchase it in the best condition but this was the better looking plant out of the bunch? I’ve used sexy plant juice to clean my leaves my last watering I used distilled water, fertilizer and a drop of neem oil. HELP!!
Hello! I am a beginner and was gifted this baby elephant ear plant two weeks ago. I bottom watered it last week. When it as gifted to me I could tell another leaf was coming in, which did continue to grow and seems to be doing good. I noticed this discoloration on the other leaves. It’s not yellow, more see through and mostly around the edges of the leaves with some dots two? Good, bad, normal? Thanks!
