Hello. I need help understanding what is going on with my Alocasia Polly. Some things go note: - I have checked thoroughly for pest and I don’t believe this is a pest issue. I also spray and treat all of my plants for pest as well as wipe down the leaves - I have it under a grow light because that is the best lighting for it in my house - I have a water meter so I will usually check it before I water it. Could this be bacteria or a fungal infection? How should I treat? Any help is appreciated

My Monstera Thai Constellation hasn't been doing too well since I repotted it. I water it when the soil is completly dried out. I don't know whats wrong. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a peace lily that wasn't in the best health when I got it. I have had it for a couple months now. It is beginning to perk up, stand taller, and has even bloomed twice!! But as of late, the tips of some of the leaves are turning brown. I'm thinking it's probably time for a new pot, but I'm not positive. Any suggestions?

Help! I’ve had this ficus for 4-5 years now and it’s been thriving in my care, I’ve had it out this summer reported beginning of august and it’s been doing great! Towards the end of sept I moved it inside and it’s began browning the ends of its leaves I chopped off the bottom leaves and the browning but it keeps coming back😭! Any solutions or answers to this problem are greatly appreciated!!! (The top leaves are fine and it’s been putting out new growth)

My prayer plant has had her leaves curled up for several weeks now, is she okay? Doesn’t seem to be over or under watered.

What is happening? The leaves feel soft and weak and they are discolored.

My mini orchid’s petals have fallen entirely off and I don’t know what to do? Is this normal? Picture below

My mini Esther ivy is not having a good time. I’ve been watering based on Planta recommendations and misting every few days… but it didn’t take long before over half of her branches went dry and there were so many falling dry leaves. I had to clip all of the dead branches which is why it looks so bare. Also I often used this particular area of the pot (pictured) to test the soil dampness with my fingers, but it seems like this area of the pot has lost the most vegetation. I don’t think I’m over watering her because the leaves are drying. Is it a watering problem? Am I doing something wrong? Is this just seasonal? Thank you!

so i got this plant a couple months ago, and for some reason everytime new leaves come out the bottom ones become yellow and die off. i got it when it only had about 2 leaves so the “old” leaves aren’t even that old and i just wanna see if anyone knows what the problem could be? i made sure not to over/underwater it and checked the roots. no root rot at all. it needs water now bc it’s a little droopy but now i’m scared to water it too :( i’d appreciate any help!

Any idea what the issue is/any advice on how to fix this? She’s a coral vine getting direct sunlight for around 5 hours and indirect sunlight for a couple hours. I have been following plantas fertilizer and watering schedule (except when the moisture meter says otherwise). I originally thought it was too much direct sunlight but the vine in the back that doesn’t get direct sunlight has the same issue.

My avocado tree leaves are turning brown. Any idea what is causing this? I have 2 other avocado plants that are on similar watering schedule and have same light distance that don’t have this issue.

Question on Grow lights I found some LED Strip lights that are flexible but they do not specifically say they are grow lights. Can a regular LED strip light work as a grow light?
