This is my cantaloupe. The top looks magnificent and although I know bottom leaves will die off as new ones grow, I feel like a very large section of the bottom half is yellow. Bright neon almost transparent yellow. What’s wrong?

I’ve never seen roots take the shape of a pot so bad before. This is straight from Terrain

Ruh roh 😳what's happening? She is still in the pot I bought her in with very spongy soil. I've had her about 2 months. Maybe staying wet too long? Would it be safe to repot with a chunky soil at this point? TIA šŸ«¶šŸ¼

First picture is when I first potted my snake plant in July 2024, second pic is from February, and last two are from today. I have hardly been home with a roommate terrorizing me. She finally moved out and I can spend more time at home with my plants. I want to try and save this plant the best that I can, any and all kind advice is appreciated. Should I add superthrive fertilizer?

Hi everyone! Any guess why this one leaf has like striations along this one leaf that seem easily breakable? Overall the plant is doing well and new leaves are growing. I did cut off one yellow leaf, but assuming it’s because it was a bottom leaf that naturally died to let energy flow to new leaves. I just cleaned the plant and didn’t find any pests. Are the leaves just brittle? The same stalk has a new leaf growing in.

Hi everyone! I have 3ZZ plants I bought recently that were combined into one pot and they were really root bound. A few days ago I repotted them seperately and they started to yellow at the leaves like this:(( idk if I did something wrong. The roots did not look rotted so i don’t know if anyone knows what happened or how to fix it! I don’t want rhem to die:(

I’ve had this Ruby Red Rubber plant for about a year now and there has been no new growth on her. If anything, most of her leaves have fallen off even though she’s always been in an east facing window, misted, fertilized and bottom watered along with systemic pesticide protection. She only has 3 leaves left but it seems like another one is going this same way. So, I cleaned off her old roots and put her in new easy draining soil (potting soil with perlite) as a last ditch effort. I’m praying to God it revives her. Can you give me your ideas on what may be going on? I’m all out of them. **side note, this is named after my childhood dog and she just got put down a couple weeks ago to add insult to injury 😢

My Chelsea Hoya keeps dropping leaves like this. Just moved her to be closer to the window, would too much sun cause black spots and yellowed leaves?

What is this white mold(?) or fungus(?) that appeared overnight in my raised bed? It puffs when touched and released a bunch of spores my sugar pea is NOT happy with it, although I’m not entirely sure they’re related. Do I need to get rid of it? If so how?

Hi everyone, I’m on my 8 hour drive home from college and I’m halfway done, but some of my plants got sunburnt :(((( I have them covered up with a sheet but I’m so so sad. Do I cut off the leaves or do they heal? I’ve never had this happen before. My diffenbachia doesn’t look to bad, but how do I help my children??

Hi guys im pretty new to plants and i have a couple monstera which soil gets mildew/mold on top even tho i repotted them adding perlite. I wanted to repot them again and improve drainage with orchid bark and more perlite but i was wondering if its safe to re-use the soil they are in right now in the mix? They are showing these signs which im worried is either root rot or fungus so im hesitating reusing the same soil?

HELP ME! My umbrella tree plant is on it’s 3rd attempt at growing a new leaf. You can see in the picture that the first attempt died and fell off and I cut that spot. The 2nd one did good for a few days and now the base of it is brown and it’s gonna fall off like the first one did. There’s another one trying to grow. How do I make sure it doesn’t end up dying too?

Not sure what’s wrong šŸ¤” I got this baby tears plant a couple months ago. It has been doing fine up until a couple weeks ago when I noticed that it’s not really growing. I noticed that the leaves had turned red. Some fully, others just at the back. I hang it in my bedroom in front of my window in its nursery pot. I just discovered that the pot has drainage yesterday. I measure 1/2 cup of filtered water whenever the app tells me to water it. Never fertilized because it was still cold (Toronto, Canada cold). It doesn’t smell, the leaves are not mushy or falling off so, I dunno… Thanks in advance. Your input is much appreciatedšŸ’š.
