Hi! This is my dieffenbachia plant, does anyone have any tips on how to help it recover??? The left side was taken when I first bought the plant. It stayed like that for 8 months and then randomly started dying, even though nothing changed. The right picture is how it currently looks. Any advice is appreciated 😊

My Rosemary has fully dried and browned over the winter, is this normal or is it dead. We had a lot of rain during early winter. Zone 6b

I repotted my Monstera plant about a month ago and I now have yellowish leaves appearing. It gets plenty of sunlight and water. What am I doing wrong or what did I do wrong? Should I cut the leaf off or let it be?

I’ve recently taken this Chinese money plant from a family member to try to save it. The drainage on their pot clogged up without them knowing. The roots have been sitting in wet soil for a decently long time, I think it might have some root rot. Does this plant look save-able? I’d love some tips on how to help a plant that has been extremely overwatered.

Some leaves of my Aloe Vera have this kind of black dots on them. If I try to rub them with a wet tissue nothing comes off. Others are becoming yellow and I don’t really know what it could be. Help please 🙏

I recently noticed something unusual with my creeping groundsel, which I rooted from a cutting last fall. It had been thriving, but suddenly, it started looking a bit limp, with some yellowing leaves and areas that appeared to have been eaten. The leaves also had a strange texture, almost as if they were sprinkled with granulated sugar. At first, I didn’t see any pests, but upon closer inspection, I discovered a sticky residue on the growing tips. It wasn’t until I took a close-up picture that I spotted some tiny critters. I’m reaching out to the community for help in identifying these pests and would appreciate any tips on effective and easy ways to eradicate them. Be sure to fully open the photos to see the pests Thank you!

My boyfriends calathea appeared to be healthy and I was planning on repotting her this week. Upon inspection I saw she has spider mites 😭 I told him to go hose her off outside, and later I’ll spray her down with a neem oil/isopropyl alcohol/peppermint Castillo soap/water mixture. Does anyone else have any more tips?? She’s beautiful and I don’t want to lose her! My boyfriend is an inexperienced plant owner and why he chose her as his second ever plant I’ll never know🙃

We got these bird of paradise plants Sunday at Home Depot. We repotted them in tropical + all purpose potting soil. We watered and left them outside to drain over night. During the night we had a pretty strong storm. Now she looks like this. The soil is pretty wet so hopefully she just needs to dry out some. Any ideas other than too much water and wind?

Hi! My staghorn fern just arrived today and doesn’t look it’s in good condition. It had a yellow leaf which I cut off but some other leaves still have brown spots and is brown near the roots(?). I’m not sure if I should cut them out in case this fern has a fungus disease and would spread to the other leaves. This sucks because it’s a small plant and doesn’t have a lot of leaves 🥲 Thanks in advance for the advice. tl;dr: does my staghorn fern have a fungus disease and should I cut the leaves that have brown spots/lines on them? (please see photo)

I’m sorry this isn’t the best photo, but these little critters move so fast it’s hard to get a picture of them. Anyway, when I watered my bird of paradise a ton of these little bugs came up out of the soil. I don’t know what they are or if they are bad for my plant. Hoping someone here would know and be able to help with advice on what to do. Thank you!

Mold in my terrarium!!! What do I do? Is it not enough Uv light? To much water? :’(

My new Monstera Thai Constellation’s leaf looks brownish in spots. Any idea what’s going on?? Also, one of the leaves is dripping water. The water comes back after like 3 hours after me shaking it off the leaf, and it won’t stop- I don’t mist it, and I watered it a couple days ago. Any idea what’s going on with either??

Good morning plant friends! Looking for steps to rehab plants after cold weather shock. I’m up in northern Michigan, and we have been in a State of Emergancy. Most people have been without power for almost 72 hours. Due to an ice storm and freezing rain. Trees down blocking roads, and power lines across roads. No gas stations open for gas to run generators or power at businesses here and around us. Anyway, we’re getting power back now all over the county slowly but surely thankfully to the wonderful lineman of Michigan working endlessly 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 ❤️ As a community we are all trying to help one another the best we can. I was able to get gas for my generator last night and take my house from in the 40s back to a normal temps! (Thankfully! It was so cold) Long story long 😅 what are the steps I should be taking to help my plants? I am finally in a position to where i can shift my energy to caring for my plants! I have 60+ house plants and during the worst of the storm I gathered them all together in the room we were in for the best warmth I could provide. Should I hold off on watering? Should I spray neem oil or something preventively? Or should I provide good light when possible and leave them be. Thank you in advance! 🙏🏼❤️

It’s not doing well on the bottom, but the top is good. What do I need to do?

Hey plant community! I got my triostar back in December and it was doing well up until about a month ago. I made the decision to remove it from its soil to get it some time to heal in water, however, the leaves are still curling inward and looking pretty nasty? Please let me know how I can fix this!!

Can anyone help me with my plants? :( The first one are seeds (4 plants) from an orange and the second one is lemon. I thought all was well because they were growing even when I transferred them indoors ( they were growing slow in the summer), however the new growth especially on the orange plants are curled up and thing, some of the leafs aren’t complete!
