Haven’t been able to figure out how to bring this back. Have followed recommended feeding and watering guidelines. Leaves have little spots on them. Is the indicative of a disease? Have had the plant for about a year, and has started looking like this the last month or so.
I believe it’s a euphorbia bourgeana
Any tips or recommendations would be awesome! Would hate to lose it!

Hi Planta Colleagues! I don’t understand why my Areca Palm, after being ok for 1 year, has started browning at the tips - initially only a few leaves, but now all of them.
It’s been repotted, proper drainage, watered regularly, close to north facing window, not other sick plant nearby, I can’t see any bugs 🔎… I’m clueless, can’t find the cause - maybe hard water (we’re in London). Any thoughts? 😇🙏

I’ve recently had a lot of problems with my plants that I have had in the last year. It’s seems the more I take care of their individual needs, the more problems pop up.
I’ve had this pathos for the better part of a decade and a few years ago. I moved it into the spot where it started thriving very nicely. Just recently a whole bunch of leaves near the base has started, turning yellow and falling off while the ends of the plants are growing like crazy. All the reading done suggests things that I am already doing so I’m not sure what to do at this point. I hate that the base is going to have no leaves at some point.

Hello.
I got this fig a little over a month ago. Its bottom leaves have started getting some spots and turning yellow. I repotted it to a pot with better drainage and the roots looked fine at the time but it has gotten more spots since then.
I have a grow light on it but is the room too dark for it? This is the light it gets in the morning.
Or is it a watering issue? Or is it just upset from a repot?
I want to help treat the issue before it gets any worse. Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you so much!

I recently ordered a potting mix online and this is how it looks. I am not sure what the white stuff is. Is it safe to use this mix?

bit of discoloration on this fairly new monstera andansonii. no other leaves have the same spot or show signs of it. Any clues as to what might be happening here?
Thanks y’all! 🌱

Does anyone know what I should do with this little leaf? It was diagnosed as overwatered a couple of days ago so I’ve decided to wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again but this leaf just keeps getting worse. Should I cut it off?

I know it’s a little too hard to tell but just left of the centre are cobwebs. Spider mites or normal cobwebs?

Do y’all know what’s wrong with this guy? I’ve been watering it every week (I didn’t think it needed more but I might be wrong) then moved it nearer to a window when it started to not look so good but it’s only gotten worse…

Hi Planta friends! I have a Bird of Paradise that has two stalks (please forgive if that’s not the right terminology 😬) from the same root ball. They were both doing well for a couple years, but now I’m noticing one is doing significantly better than the other. They both put out new leaves at the same time, while the good side opened perfectly and is now shooting out another, the struggling side never really properly opened - it took months and even ripped in the process. It also had another leaf the randomly went brown and crispy on one edge with no good reason that I can tell - its care and location has always been the same. This side is progressively getting droopier too, while the good side is fine. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you! ☺️

Have this dwarf fiddle leaf and it once had quite a few leaves on it. I’ve had it for more 2 1/2 years in this same pot. Since it so small now, should I put it in a smaller pot?? 🤔

I’m taking over care for this unfortunate plant. The app says that it’s Selenicereus validus. Other than tender love and care, what else can I do to bring it back from the brink? What do you think went wrong in the first place? I’m putting it under a grow light starting today to give it a fighting chance. Is it salvageable? Thanks!

Hi! I’ve had this plant for a while and she was really happy, but since I moved apartments the leaves have started drooping, there’s significantly less growth and large variegated leaves like there used to be, and they’re constantly yellowing and falling off. I’m not sure if I’m watering not enough/too much or if there’s something else that could be going on, if anyone could help. I just pulled off about 20 yellowed leaves and included a picture of what it used to look like also.

Hello All, I have this peperomia ginny from past 2 Years and it has been of the same size ever since. In addition to this good healthy leaves keep on falling off from the Node. I dont water it often, let the soil completely dry before i water it. Its close to the window though.

The leaves are drying out one at a time. Do I cut the top off?

Help with my peace lily- the ends are pointing down and slightly brown on the tips. These flowers have been there for awhile, should I cut them back? It’s still growing new blooms. Thanks!

I had this dracaena ~3ish years, the top leaves have recently grown in spotty.
What is it lacking that caused this?
I only water when the moisture meter says dry. It’s in a 12in pot with drainage, it gets fertilized regularly. It’s about 4 ft away from a south facing window. (It used to live in a sad dark corner but I moved it (last summer I think?).
Thoughts?

Help! 😭 My monstera andanosii’s leaves are turning yellow! I only water it when the soil is completely dry, and it gets indirect light. I’ve never had pests before so I’m not sure what to look for for signs. Any help would be so so appreciated! 💕

Weird one today :) what do we think?
Repot necessary? I only repotted about 14 months ago but after a recent overwatering period in August the leaves have simply just turned yellow. I don’t smell any rot from the roots but perhaps it’s my misjudgement. Since that August time I’ve only watered twice - once in November and a few days ago.
Perhaps she simply needs a larger pot :) sincerely hope so.
Also, should I just shear off the yellowing stems?
