Recently half of one of the leaves/branches of my fishbone cactus has turned a paler green than the rest of it. The tip of the lighter green part has also turned a more muted/brown green and is thinner than the rest of the leaf. Any ideas on what I could do to fix it/prevent the brownish color from spreading more?
I've had this Easter Cactus for over a year and all of a sudden it's been dropping leaves. No changes in lighting or water. Any ideas?
Hey y’all, there’s this purpling spreading on my strawberry plant. Is this due to a phosphorous deficiency?
So I got this about a month ago, I’m still sort of new to this type but there’s a lot of conflicting info I feel like. So, could someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? It’s in 65 degrees (I’m in New England so it’s a little chilly inside rn). I have it in bright indirect light. I do have a grow light I could put it under but I don’t know if that would burn it. I water it once the soil is probably like 70% dry. It’s in about 60% humidity. It looks like these spots are from overwatering but the leaves are still more on the crispy side than anything else. I think it may just be cold? Anything will help. Will the leaves recover? Is it okay to prune? Thanks in advance!
Hello, A neighbor just gave me her palm tree in a pot. She kept it in her porch. I am going to keep it in my office. I am going to change the potting soil. I noticed cream spots in a couples of the leaves. Also some of the leaves are broken which I assume I should cut off. I have no idea about the care of this plant. I believe it has potential, but what do I know. Thank you for all your help. This site is great.
Is this scars? Is it scales? Is it old scale shells? It’s all over some of these leaves and it’s so weird looking.
Somebody please tell me I have nothing to worry about and this is definitely not thrips…. Thoughts?
This is my first time having an issue with an Alocasia African Mask. The soil is fairly dense, so I suspect it was waterlogged. I watered it a week ago and the second newest leaf felt soggy and ‘melted’ where the hole is. It is slowly spreading still. Should I cut the leaf off, or just the effected area? The rest of the plant seems good. Soil feels much less dense and wet now, it is damp about an inch down. In a plastic pot
A lot of black tipping on the small pot and one dead leaf on the bigger one but there’s always new leaves coming through, haven’t seen any on the small ones yet. Idk what I’m doing, idk how to keep it from doing this or what’s causing it.
I made a stupid mistake please don’t judge me.. I was turning the lamp off and I knocked my lamp over and it fell on top of my monstera and broke/bent so many leaves. Please tell me what to do to help it recover pics attached.. I’m so heart broken (it fell right in the middle and damaged so much)
what's wrong with my pothos? recently it's been very droopy and sad-looking, with some yellowing leaves. i know it could be the transition to winter (it's been chilly recently) but i'm not sure how to ease this transition. it's currently in a hanging pot right next to a north-facing window, and the yellow leaves are more crunchy and limp than mushy. any tips are greatly appreciated!
Please help my sickly Callisia repens ‘Pink Panther’ The top is dying, but the side are still growing. I have followed all the Planta guidelines and she continues to go down hill.
This a pic of an heirloom tomato plant that I brought into the house about 3 weeks ago because it was getting too cold at night and I had only gotten two tomatoes from it. I just threw it out today and when I dumped out the soil there was larvae in the soil. I believe it is fungus gnats as they are flying all over my house. I treated my plants (not edible plants) with a systemic insecticide and yet these bugs persist. Help!!! Please.
Why is the skin thinning on the ripe plants
Has anyone used a mixture of neem oil and hydrogen peroxide to treat pests and root rot? Tell me if it’s worked, or what I can do better. Trying to target both pests and root rot for my Thai Constellation, and Black Velvet
My Chinese money plant is looking very spindly. Any suggestions?
Dr. Planta AI says my Peace Lilly is root bound, but before I go and spend a bunch of money on a bigger pot I wanted to double check. Part of me thinks it’s just mad cause winter has arrived, therefore it’s not getting as much sun as it’s used to. I do have a small grow light I could put on it if that’s the case.
What’s going on with my watermelon peperomia?
Hey!! I’m quite new to the whole plant stuff. I got this a few weeks back and it was doing amazing. I repotted it, got new soil(come with fertilizer in it. Tropical mix) and it stays in front of my balcony doors with the curtains open throughout the day. I water it when the app tells me to, spray it too. Can anyone help me figure out what is going on? The leaves are slowly all changing to a bright green/yellow colour and wrinkling up. Not rough feeling until it drops off. So far, only one leaf has dropped, but right now there is about 4 leaves changing to the colour I described. It was right under my AC vent, I moved it away but still in an area where it gets sun. We have had cloudy days lately as we are currently getting snow. Any tips and tricks is MUCH appreciated. Any more info needed, I will gladly try to give.
my poor baby 🥲 I am SUPER unsure what I’m doing wrong here. She doesn’t get direct sunlight (placement here was only for photos) and I’ve been bottom watering her the last couple weeks for it to only look worse than before. I initially thought I was overwatering which is why I started bottom watering but now I’m stumped. Thank you in advance!! I’ve been a silent watcher for too long now 🤣
