So I made a post about my plant turning brown couple days ago and went to the plant shop to get some tips the guy said this was past saving and is best to chop off and propagate the healthy parts. Not too sure as I am scared if I cut it off I could be doing more damage?? Any advice pls
A lot of my plants are getting this white built up on the soil. Plants look healthy. I just got them grow lights so all of them will be getting more light. Is it from lack of light, fertilizer, or using tap water, or sick? I can’t tell. Do I repot them?
What do I need to do to help my mint variegated silver dragon alocasia??? Should I switch to semi hydro??
Hi everyone! One of my amaryllis bulb have had something happen to them and I can’t tell if it’s normal or if something’s wrong with my plant. If anyone knows what’s happening and what I can do to help that would be wonderful!
Hello all! I've been noticing this white residue on my Godzilla pothos and I can't quite figure out what it is. It's only on the new growth as pictured, however the only answer I'm getting through Google is mealy bugs. And that would suck. So I'm hoping it's not that. Anyone got any ideas? I seriously appreciate the help!
This is my gorgeous banana plant, we’ve had it for about 6 months now and it’s always throwing out new leaves. It wasn’t looking its finest a few weeks ago so I did some research and bought a self-watering pot. I was hoping it’d go wild after that as they’re meant to grow at an insane rate, but this one just isn’t! The leaves always look kinda crusty and dry around the edges and it just doesn’t look as pleasing as we’d hoped! Any ideas? Would pruning the crispy leaves be a solution? Thanks guys x
My curly lipstick plant (aeschynanthus) has some pale areas on some leaves, and I have seen it slowly show up on more leaves. The plant is otherwise happy! No direct sunlight, bright indirect next to a window, custom soil mixture for epiphytes, RO water every 3 weeks or so depending on how fast the soil loses moisture. No pests! The only thing I can think of is a nutrient deficiency or a pH issue. I love this plant, don’t want to accidentally kill it. Not getting consistent diagnosis using app AI. I’ve had this plant for over a year, been in current pot for about 12 months. Any help really appreciated!
I've never been the best at keeping spider plants, and my current one is getting crispy leaves at the tips, any suggestions? I had a relative suggest moting it further from the window (was right in the windowsill, is now 5-6ft from window), but I haven't noticed any change from doing so
My poor polka dot bigonia sat in several inches of water for about 2 weeks and she hasn’t been happy since (this was about 2 months ago, she’s holding a grudge). She’s dry now and on a regular watering schedule. As you can see, there is 1 leaf. Should I trim back the other branches or is this a lost cause?
My flowers on 1 jalapeño plant are withered and falling off the plant. The leaves and stems are healthy. Any suggestions? I searched by picture but it is a jalapeño plant. Lol! I already know that.
Happy Father’s Day plant community! What the heck is going on with my blackberry bush? It is getting a fair amount of water. I haven’t treated it for pests or anything because I have never had to do that before. Any thoughts?
Hi, my dragon coast is currently spouting a new seedling and I am currently waiting till it grows tall enough to repot however I'm worried about this yellowing on the nodes section? Does anyone know what this means, any help is appreciated!
Hey all! Put my raised beds in the greenhouse for a couple days due to high winds and I discovered these egg looking things while transporting them out of the greenhouse. I know there’s soil fungi but I’m confused because these ones aren’t fuzzy like the ones I’ve seen online. Any ideas of what this is?
Do you suppose this is Scale on my cyclamen?
Should I be concerned? I’ve never seen this before. First ficus btw. I’m talking about the spindly growths from the stalk.
Help! Found this little thing moving around in my peace lilly when I watered and gave her a trim this morning. I water about every 3 weeks when the soil is dry and she starts to droop. Pot has drainage holes but I’m scared after repotting a few months ago I went too big for pot size, going from 6in-8in so maybe soil isn’t drying out long enough. Root ball was pretty compact and root bound when I repotted
I had this peperomia for ages (7 years now) and suddenly it’s throwing a gigantic fit! A long time ago I noticed this soggy, brown leaf in one of the branches that hang down the side of the pot. I plucked it off without any strength- Actually, I touched it and it just fell off. Now I’m getting more of them and I seriously don’t know what to do. I think it may be because overwatering, but I don’t think so because I’ve only been watering it once a month (or right on schedule). Please tell me anything! I’m clueless 🙂↔️😒😖 My peperomia=😩😤😎🫠🤮🍂
Attn: fungus gnat sufferers! 🚨 Wanted to share a hot tip I just discovered. So you know those yellow sticky traps? Here’s a DIY nearly free alternative, two really. Two approaches, use what you have. Spray paint an empty beer can bright yellow. Smother it in Vaseline. Stick in your infested soil and voila! The gnats flock to it. No spray paint? No problem. Get you some scrap cardboard, use yellow tape and cover it, then cover that in Vaseline and stick it in. Same great results! F fungus gnats!! Good luck out there 👍
I’m having trouble with my plants soil not drying out now that our air conditioning is on for the summer. It causing my plants to yellow. Help!
Young Dogwood - Any ideas? It has been unseasonably hot here in the south for the past few weeks. Maybe too much direct sun?
