Just need opinion’s … so I seen somewhere that rice water works well for pothos.. snake and spider plants. I’m wondering if this is true? Has anyone tried it ? Is yes. What were the results 👀👀

Hey yall so I have this relatively new addition to my plant collection, my little aloe Vera pup Rosy. I’ve had her for a few months now and she never used to have roots but I looked up a tutorial on how to help her grow some. I followed the video and after about two weeks she started growing a root and the video told me to plant her then. So now I have and she’s growing bigger and new leaves which is a good sign. However as she’s growing leaves some of them are yellowing and one actually dried out. Am I not watering her enough or is there another problem? Because she’s growing new leaves just fine just that some of her old ones are dying…Im not supper familiar with aloe Vera plants so please help Rosy!
Should I repot my arrowhead plant? I just bought it and I’m 90% sure I needs repotted, but I’m also second guessing myself.
Can anyone help me identify this? I looked up mealybugs, but these look too small and not in the expected place on the plants? Idk. They are just tiny fuzzy white spots, but I don’t see actual bugs or widespread webbing, and the leaf joints look clear. One is a on crocodile philodendron and the other is on a jessenia pothos, both are rooting in water. I’m not sure what it is or how to treat it, so any help would be wonderful! Thanks in advance!
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? This plant has been a problem from the beginning 2 years in. I thought it was lack of water and neglect. So I have been on a water schedule and put her under grow light but the browning leaf tips have gotten worse. Note I did repot few months ago and it has good drainage. Ideas??
Hi everyone! How do you treat plants that are getting a lot of those tiny tiny white bugs/mites (I don't even know what they are)? They are now getting on the stem as well 😭 I tried diluted alcohol rubbing, but haven't seen any results yet. Please help!
My mom brought it to me to save it. What can I do?
helloo, my monetary looks like it’s dying it’s going very brown and some leaves have gone yellow fully, i did chop some leaves off prior because it got too much and too leggy and now it’s dying what do i do??
Hey guys! I recently got a rosemary plant, wanting to start a little herb garden. I usually keep carnivorous plants, begonias, and other frail princesses. I highly suspect I might have over watered this rosemary. Its become soggy and the ends are curly. Is there anything I can do? Or is she a lost cause?
Hello! I have a question about a bug that’s on this sticky trap. I know one is fungus gnats but I’m not sure what the other bug is. They are all over my sticky traps and in order to get trapped they would have to fly. Does anyone have any idea what they are? Thank you for your help!
Hi all. This plant has been acting weird lately. It is a Needle Stonecrop and a haworthia. The haworthia has started growing.. something? I’m not sure if it is a new sprout or if it’s something to be concerned with. But my stonecrop has been really dying down. The first picture is from when I got it in November and it’s really thinning out and dying off and I’m not sure what’s happening, honestly I don’t even know where the leaves have been going, they just disappear- it’s not even that they are dying off and getting brown. Advice appreciated! It gets indirect sun during the day and I don’t water it often.
Be honest, is she doomed? She’s too skinny and has curled leaves, looking for some tips if anyone can help I would really appreciate it - rescued her from a home with cats that kept nibbling the leaves! Some kind of monstera??
I was loving the beautiful flower of the orchid but noticed it might be sick. Its leave has a bit of yellow and it has many many black dots on it. Please if anyone know how I could save it?🥹
I moved these plants a few months ago and they all started to get super leggy because my room didn’t get enough light. I added a grow light recently and they seem a lot happier but they still look kinda crazy. Does anyone have any tips to help my plants fill out better and become bushier instead of longer?

My Frost Peperomia keeps dropping leaves like crazy and i dont know why. Its growing really great, but every time i check on him, theres leaves in the soil. Is this par for the course, or am i doing something wrong?
Hi everyone, I’m not sure what’s wrong with the polyscias Fabian. 😭 I bought it from IKEA 3 weeks ago, placed it near south facing window with no direct sunlight , don’t think I’ve overwatered it.
hi! before christmas i left my Dieffenbachia seguine looking relatively happy but when i returned, all of her leaves dropped and then hasn’t improved over the past month. i got this plant on my first date with my partner so it’s very special to me and i can’t bring myself to even think about her being gone forever! is there any thing i can do? should i wait to see if it revives itself as it’s stems are still green? i’ve had her die and revive herself over and over again so i thought she was just having yet another tantrum! please help!
Any idea why my baby rubber plant is starting to yellow at the bottom leaves? She’s been a super easy plant and doesn’t seem temperamental. I have her under a grow light, water when dry, roots look good and doesn’t need a repot. Is it normal to lose the bottom leaves at once?
