Is this fungus? I’ve never had a plant do this before so I’m unsure what I’m looking at. The soil has good drainage, lighting seems just fine for it since it’s already growing a new leaf, and it isn’t wilting. But these weird spots are popping up and I’m worried.
Please tell me this isn’t what I think it is.. 😞
I just got this Bougainvillea on Saturday and the leaves are curling up. I haven’t even potted it yet! I’ve been watering every day. Any ideas on why it’s unhappy?
I bought this beautiful Alocasia frydek about a month ago. I haven’t changed it from its original pot yet. I had a few leaves yellow that I cut off. All the leaves seem to be healthy now and I’m even having new leaves unfurl. A lot of my leaves are drooping now. I’m nervous that the drooping indicates poor health, especially since when I bought it, all the stems were ramrod straight. Could it be that the leaves are just getting big/heavy? Or are there causes for concern? Would love to hear any helpful tips for caring for this plant and keeping it healthy. Thanks!
How in the world do I keep getting fungus gnats??? I water my plants once a week, and only if the soil is dry which happens pretty quickly because I have my plants mostly in direct to indirect bright sunlight. I’ve dried all my plants out for at least a month to the point i accidentally killed off a few of my plants. It’s been a month of me returning to my regular watering schedule and yet again I’m dealing with them. Would switching to bottom watering help after replacing all my soil? :(
I HAVE THRIPS. Help!! New plantie and one of my babies has thrips. I have isolated it and another I’m suspicious of in my spare bathroom with a grow light, showered, sprayed with a plant soap, and watered with a pesticide (unable to get systemic granules in Canada). How long should I continue to treat for and keep in isolation? I have a lot of plants.. Should I just cut my losses? I would hate it if they spread and terrified they already could have as there was mature adults on the Scindapuss.. Any advice appreciated.
Hi guys n gals, desert rose problem. It's getting cooler here with less sunlight and this has been slowly dropping leaves at the top of the plant (it's nearly 5ft tall) but has healthy green leaves on bottom 1/3. It currently has 5 or 6 seed pods and two others have split to give me some wonderful seeds. I plan to move it to a warmer location soon, watering is the same and it had a lick of 1/2 strength liquid fert about a month ago. This is the first time I've seen these spots. Any ideas? TIA...
Okay, so I’ve had this plant for about 2 months . It is “supposed” to be a full sun plant … but something is wrong with it . The leaves are turning back I have tried cutting them down keeping out of sun , neem oil , watering more and less… and I don’t know .. please help . It’s a bamboo type .
Well…I made my first big plant parent mistake. I learned after cutting off what I thought were corms that these babies actually have tuberous roots. The Mandarin Spider plants were already rescued projects that needed some love but the rattlesnake Calathea was super healthy. Any suggestions for helping them through losing a big part of their root system??
I was so excited that this plant has been growing and thriving since I brought it home but I am extremely worried about the spider mites. I just waterboarded the leaves under the faucet in the sink so I hope that helps. It’s been isolated since I took it home months ago but I did notice a marigold I took home a few weeks ago had mites. It was outside so I guess I must have transferred the mites on a watering day 😔 I have neem oil and I’ll get Castile soap on Saturday so I can make a spray to eradicate the mites. Just found some on my fiddle leaf fig plant as well so I am very upset.
Need help with my baby plants i started from seed they were thriving as of just 2/3 days ago now they look like this. It’s the honey dew on the right and the the tiny ones in the front are sugar baby watermelons, my pumpkin seeds in the back took the longest to come up but seem to be the healthiest right now. I’m in NYC so Ive been moving them inside and outside the last week due to the inconsistent weather that’s the only thing I’ve done before noticing them look like this 😪
Need advice! My string of turtles soil seems to be staying moist for quite a long time. I last watered it 18 days ago and the soil still seems quite wet. It looks healthy, but I’ve heard these can “die silently”. It’s in bright indirect light.. not sure what it could need. Also, any tips on easily checking the soil on these guys? The foliage is so dense and compact it’s hard to check and I’m wondering if I’m not actually feeling it enough. Thanks!
Can someone give me advice please. I’m new to Thai constellations, well monsteras in general. On the right is my Thai when i first got her and in the last two weeks she’s been getting these brown spots. I cut it off three times and it keeps coming back. I don’t think it’s a watering issue because i have her in a clear pot and water when she’s 75% dry. I would chop the leaf completely but she is working on pushing out a new leaf. Any advice thank you in advance !
I need help on what to do for my plant? It's leave died and I wate it once a week? It's a stone crop and Its by my lamp all the time
Recently got this monstera, and it’s new growth is starting to go brown, it’s on multiple of the new leaves. I water every time the soil is dry about an inch or two on top. It is in a plastic pot with drainage inside a larger pot currently, and when watering there is no pool of water at the bottom, and never has been so I don’t think it’s due to over watering. What should I do!
‼️ALERT: PLANT GOT TOO MUCH SUN‼️ as the title says, my baby got too much sun i thought j left it in a spot for the weekend where it wasnt gonna get too much sunlight but i got back to my office and its all yellow and droopy now 🥺 what can i do?
How do I remove a plant accidentally added the same one!
Hi!! 🪴🌿🌱 We recently bought a black steel blue hydrangea and planted it in the ground. We've watered it the last couple of days (however it's been about 29-30 degrees the last couple of days in the UK). We've not been wanting to over water it but the hydrangea currently looks like this (circled). The one to the left of it was also planted the same day and is a hydrangea but doesn't look as dramatic as this one. Have we just not given it enough water? Should the hydrangea perk up the next few days if we give it another good water this evening? 🤞🏻
I need help trying to figure out why both my monsteras have brown spots. One I just got yesterday. Any advice appreciated!
