A bit lost here. My tomato plants and sunflowers were doing fantastic for a long time, but now looking terrible. Any advice?? When I try to water, it just sits at the top and pools or goes straight through the drainage holes. I follow a regular watering schedule and use liquid fertilizer as needed.

So my money tree has been doing okay but it keeps switching between good and bad. I had to remove two trunks that died a few months ago. And now a third (middle in photo) seems to not be producing leaves and it’s shriveling. I’ve watered it when the soil is close to dry or practically dry. I check the soil. I mist it regularly. And there’s drainage in the soil. But I don’t understand what is happening with it. What should I do?

Hey guys! I was wondering if you know what the problem is with my plant. Today I noticed the yellow/ brown spots on the leaves and when I was about to water it I saw this white residue on the soil. Is it mould or spiders? Any tips on what to be done in this situation would be much appreciated! 😊

I separated and repotted my Clivia 2 months ago. About three weeks later they seemed to be going downhill so I checked roots and there was some root rot happening. Cleaned it up. Now another month later one of them had some leaves turning yellow. Checked it and pulled about 5 middle leaves out with the bottom part rotted. Looked inside in the middle and it’s rotted w little long white pests crawling around inside. The root system looks great though!! What happened and why is this happening?? I’ve tried researching online and can’t find what’s going on. What r the bugs and what can be done? I tried to get a good pic of the inside but it’s hard with only 2 hands lol

Hi friends!! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get rid of the little gnat type bugs in my plants soil?? I’ve cut back on watering, checked everyone for root rot(all good), adjusted the lighting situation for some… and there are still a few lingering.

Need some advice. I have a big Peace Lily and I had her in my SW facing sliding door and every so often I rotate her and I rotated her yesterday and noticed she appears to have gotten sunburnt. Should I cut out all of the sunburnt leaves??

I recently got a croton and it’s already dropped two leaves! Any advice or ideas of what I could be doing wrong? It’s in a south facing window that is partially covered by my roof, and I am following plantas watering schedule. Any help would be appreciated!

Does anyone know what kind of fungus this is? It’s kind of like a white ish green color. Google said it was harmless to my plants but I just want to make sure. I had gotten this bag of soil and didn’t open it for a while. Then when I opened the bag, there was a bunch of this fungus.

Why is her leaves turning brown and crispy ?! She’s somewhat under a grow light , is she getting burned ?

Hi friends! I recently received a (albeit very sickly) astrophytum/goats head cactus from a friend. He didn’t have the time to try and save him and wanted to see if I could give it a shot. Now I am not an expert by any means but I used Dr Planta to diagnose it and it thinks it’s scales (EEK). What do you guys think? Did I just endanger the rest of my plants by bringing this one into the home? If so, how do I make sure they don’t get scales?? I tried to see if I could pull any of the reddish bits off and they don’t budge so I am hoping it is edema/discoloration. I don’t see any moving pests on there either. HELP

Apologies for a longer description, I’m very new to taking care of plants: Ive had this snake plant for a little while. You’ll notice a few bite marks from my cat, though she hasn’t tried to bite it lately. I’m noticing the leaf on the right is curling more, so I’m not sure if this means I need to water it more or if it’s okay to wait a few more days to let it process before watering it more. I guess my question is: is there anything looking unhealthy about this plant that I should take note of or change about its routine? I’ve spritzed it with small amounts of water every few days just to give it small amounts of hydration without soaking all of the soil too much, but I’m scared I’m doing too much/too little to take care of it. Any suggestions?

Hi! Is my peace lily too far gone to save?? I’m a new plant owner and my peace lily has been thriving for a while, but it needed to be repotted. After repotting, it began to droop badly and die. I realized the pot didn’t have a drainage hole, so the app told me to switch to a pot that did. I then switched it to a pot with a drainage hole, and ever since has DRASTICALLY gotten much worse. Is there anything I can do to save it?! TIA!

So we have a few problems here… First off, my orchid is clearly not doing well. Also, my global green pothos is not doing well I don’t think. Please leave me tips on how I can save my plants! 🌱

This silver snake plant always looks so sad. I’ve moved it into a smaller pot, moved it around the house, given it less water… but nothing works ):

What could cause my hydrangea to do this?? I bought it 2 days ago. It was beautiful yesterday and today it looks like this. Put it outside a few hours ago hoping it would help but it seemed to make it worse.
