Anyone know what would eat across the top of my elephant ears like this? Assuming it’s a pest. Ty!

I've just repotted my avocado trees but on one of them there top leaves have gone really limp and thin. I repotted with soil recommended to me for these plants and mixed in some chicken pellets. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it or what's wrong?

Okay. This is kinda strange. Bought this Calathea White Star from a seller on Etsy a few weeks ago. As I was just checking it over and noticed it looks like it’s in some kind of fiber “bag”. This is the pot it came to me in. I haven’t repotted it yet. Is this restricting the roots, do ya think? Do I need to try to remove it and repot it? ( You can see it just around the circumference of where the stems are growing up from.)

Bumped into this today and broke that stem almost completely off. 😢😢😢 Taped it up. Any chance it'll survive?

Hi everyone! I just joined today after buying a pothos (not pictured). I had a couple of work friends gift me plants (pictured) when I left in October. I feel like they are looking a little sad 😕 the succulent has looked this droopy since November-ish but it keeps growing upward. Some leaves (?) have shriveled up, and I just pick them off. Very very new to caring for plants. I want these to continue to live and thrive and be able to apply new knowledge to this pothos. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I’ve had this little peace lily for about a month or two now, it’s starting to get yellow leaves. I haven’t checked the root system yet, and it seems to be growing new leaves as well. Today is its watering day. Any advice on how to help its overall health? There also seems to be mold on the top of the soil too? What do you guys think?

Anyone know what this is? It's killing my bonsai! I haven't found any bugs on the plant but it seems like it's coming from a bug of some sort... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

What am I doing wrong?? Recently purchased on Tuesday. I’m hoping it’s thirst I watered her today’s good amount (1 pic is Tuesday 2nd is prior to posting. I removed a few brown leaves. Soil looks questionable so as I tried moving the plant a stems popped out of the soil. Am I doomed ?

Hi! I'm looking for some help with identifying what the heck these white specs are.
plants&chickens
can anyone identify what's wrong with my plectranthus? I've checked the roots and they look fine, but the stems are shriveled. the leaves are floppy, like it needs water but I've tried increasing my watering and no change. this is a cutting from my mother's plant and i really don't want to lose it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone help identify what’s going on with this monstera?! Are these pests? I recently noticed some burning ok my leaves and now this sort of dusty appearing stuff. To be honest, it could be from lack of wiping but the last watering I did shower her and give her a neem treatment (preventative measure because a neighbor plant had mites). And I did dump some of that same neem treatment in to finish off watering. So could this be from that? From the dawn that was in the mixture? Please help. My delusions tell me not to worry, so I come to you all humbly begging you to tell me what this is. Thank you in advance everyone! Happy Sunday

Hey friends! This is my Ficus Elastica the day I got her (maybe like a week or so) vs. today ˙◠˙ I had her under a grow light with some of my full sun plants, I think she might have dried out too much and was possible stressed by moving from the store to my home. I watered her and put her in my bright-indirect light window, and I tried Dr Planta but it didn't give me any answers really. Will she recover?? I've never had this kind of plant before. Thanks !! 🌿💚

Can anyone help me with this plant? I’ve had it for a couple of years now and this winter really took a turn for the worse. I’m very careful about overwatering (learned that the hard way), repotted last year in well draining soil with holes… Please help.

PLEASE HELP ‼️‼️ One day my Peace Lily is just fine, regular watering day. The Next day I find that’s it’s dropped like a dead fly. I don’t know if it was my watering temperature, something with the soil (it hasn’t been repotted in over a year?), the roots??? Should I take it out the pot and check the roots? The yellowing is starting to form at the bottom. P.S The only time my peace lily is “dramatic” when I haven’t watered it in over a month, this looks like something different.

What’s happening to my money tree ? I got this as a gift on Valentine’s Day, it already had some of it spotting but since taking it in, I’ve repotted and gotten a lot of new growth since the repot but now the spots won’t go away. I usually have her near this window as it gets lots of great light. Once I’ve moved her here, I started to see all that growth ….is it the sun or could it be something else? I’m afraid to move her because she seems to be really liking it here, other than those spots.

Hi everyone! I need some advice. I got a plant in the mail and I really messed up not buying an extreme heat pack for it. Is there any hope for this new plant that has suffered from cold travel? Thank you in advance.. I feel sick about this🥲

Hi, I’m a new plant mum and I’ve just noticed my Flaming Katy has this mould on top? I only water once a week (bottom water) and it seems to be thriving otherwise. Any advice is appreciated !

Hey, my plant has been trying to push this leaf out for a month but hasn’t seemed to make any progress. I worry that there’s just not enough space right there. I water her enough but I haven’t given her fertilizer in a while. Maybe that’s why? Not sure if there is anything I should be doing to help.
