Multiple leaves on my palm that has been doing totally fine since I got it are yellowing 😭 it's under a grow light because the room it's in is not very well lit. What do I do? 😭 this is my den, I don't have another space.

What is wrong with it? I got it for free at Facebook and I want to revive it, I’m not sure if I should turn it into new cuttings if it has pests, or if I should just give it a shower and repot. Will it survive if I cut it up and water propagate? I think it is some sort of dracaena

HELP!!! My Hoya Carnosa ‘Jade’ is looking very sad. I went on vacation for the weekend, when I left the soil was damp so I thought I was okay till I got back two days later. When I got back it was dry and the leaves were wilted and curled. I watered it a little and now it’s dropping leaves and the leaves still are wilted and feel dry. Did I kill my plant? If not, what do I do?

Hi there! 👋👋 I recently (about 3-4 weeks ago) brought home this beautiful Alocasia Jacklyn from a houseplant store. I will preface my issue with this: I’m fairly certain this is not an issue with the store as this store is very reputable and they take really good care of their plants. Anyway, a few days ago I noticed several of the leaves yellowing (see attached image), and I’m not sure what’s up. I’ve received advice that the humidity where I have it may be too low. I was told they like well-drained roots/soil but high humidity. I do not currently have a tank or cabinet big enough to put this lady in. Two days ago, I moved the plant from its location near a southern window to a plant stand with another alocasia that’s been doing well (has a plant light)—I have not updated the location in Planta yet. Any other input would be greatly appreciated, even if it’s just to confirm the advice I’ve already been given! Help, I don’t want to kill this plant!

Helppp! I just got this summer glory & repotted it right away (not sure if that’s the issue) but I noticed it is starting to get yellow edges & there was a super mushy part on one of the leaves. Not sure what I’m doing wrong!

Wondering if anyone can diagnose this. Poinsettia appears healthy in other aspects. I do mist the leaves when instructed and the plant sits on a sill behind blinds with evening sunlight. Watering on schedule according to Planta.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong with my bamboo? Leaf tips are brown and dry- not to the point of crumbling, but are definitely thinned out and a little crisp. I thought it was from too much sun so I moved him but it’s still happening. Been watering according to schedule, and he has bright *indirect* sunlight for about 4-5 hours a day (near an east facing window that backs up to woods). Other than the tips he’s been doing great and growing consistently. He’s also in a direct path under an air vent on the ceiling, it’s set to 72° F

I got a Chinese Taro a few months ago and ever since I have had it it has lost a lot of leaves, however it is growing plenty of new ones. They usually go floppy and eventually dry up and go brown. It is getting the right amount of water and plenty of sunlight. Am I doing something wrong? First picture is when I first got it, second is how it is now. You can see the brown bits towards the bottom of the stem where I have had to cut dead ones off.

Ok…. She’s gettin a bit wild… do I split and make 2? I’m sooo nervous. She does have new growth so I think she may be happy like this. I tried a moss pole to make it look more organized but it’s A LOT

Can anyone please tell me why my False African Violet is drooping? I just recently brought her inside from my front porch. She now lives in my west facing window with bright indirect light and some sun. I want her to be happy, but where I live it’s not possible to keep her outside all year. ☹️

Hey, my hoyas are getting real long and leggy, and i read online that its because they want somewhere to climb. How do people grow their hoyas freely hanging?? I feel like ive seen tons of hanging hoyas, but mine seem to DEMAND support 😭 They havent made a new leaf in agesSss

I have two lemongrasses and ones doing way better than the other even though they’re right next to each other. The only difference is that my dog eats the one that’s healthier. Is there anything I should be doing to help the less healthy one?

I just got this plant recently and it has some spots on the leaves. I haven’t even put it in its designated pot yet but should I be concerned?
