Help! My prayer plant leaves have started to wilting and drying like it is not getting enough water. I water it often and check to make sure the soil is moist. I had notice me that the water drains immediately, maybe too fast to feed. Has anyone ever had this issue or have any thoughts to help retain water? Thanks!

Ive recently noticed my plant has been getting these brown marks on it. Can anyone explain to me what is happening and how to fix the issue?

Browning edges on new-to-me fern leaf cactus? Third pic shows that the white/light bits are roots growing out. Anyway, what the heck could be turning a few of the tips black? Had the plant for about a month.

HELP!! I have two small Norfolk pines I got from Lowes probably two years ago. I have potted them up, and every time I water them, I notice fine, almost ground up potting soil on the catch trays. I had them both in a bowl bottom watering yesterday, and today I noticed these little worms??? I'm horrified. What do I do???

Mealybugs keep coming back to my BOP 😭 any tips on how to get rid of them permanently? I have repotted, clean the bugs off with neem oil, use ‘death drops’ when I water…

Help! My poor Pinky is in distress. It was doing great and yesterday I fertilized and I noticed that the water took forever to drain. Last night I set the plant on paper towels to dry out for a couple hours and then removed it to new soil. She is not happy. Question do I remove this lil growth in the center and try to save it or just baby the whole plant for a while. I’m stuck!!!

I have been gifted this rubber plant. I’ve never had one before so I’m new to taking care of it. The leaves look like this. Is this normal or a bug of some sort?

Found these little guys in the bottom of my water collection tray while pruning my cat palm. Are these guys good or bad for my plant? What are these?

Trying to be realistic with my peace lily. I had originally kept her in water as I was told this is a great way to keep them alive. Well it slowly started to get brown ends, so about a week ago I planted her in soil. I understand shock comes into play but I do not think this plant will ever recover. Any opinions? The Dr feature says there is still a chance but I am not convinced.

The new shoot on my monstera Thai cons is yellow and browning while still in the petiole. Does this mean the shoot will abort? Never seen this before.

I have a prayer plant that isn’t doing so hot and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to help it get better. It was doing fine until I was 5 days late watering it about 2 months ago(I had been on vacation) Dr.planta At first said it wasn’t getting enough water so we changed the watering schedule, but then Dr.plants changed its mind and said it was getting too much water so we changed the watering schedule again. A fellow plant lover suggested I may have had it in a spot that was too sunny so I moved it to a shadier location and another suggested it may be too cramped in its current pot so I repotted it and it still won’t bounce back, I just want it to live and be healthy again 😭😭 I’m still pretty new to gardening :( photo below is in its old pot

I’ve had this flaming Katy for about. A year and a half. It was in really bad health when I got it and I’ve successfully nursed it back! However, as you can see it’s getting a bit heavy and I am planning to adjust, but wondering on advice or tips for trimming? I don’t want to erase all its progress but it’s never bloomed in my possession. Advice?

I got this aloe from a shitty cutting I got from a plant swap. Under a grow light in a windowsill ~8hrs/day, humidifier at 45%, chunky soil, regular pest treatment. Had to trim some nastier leaves in the past. What is happening to my girl?? Maybe over-fertilizing?
