Does this pot seem too big for this size of snake plant? If i am careful with not overwatering will it grow roots and adjust, or should I just go ahead and downsize the pot?

Hello I made a new batch of potting mix with nothing more than organic potting soil, perlite && orchid bark. I’ve been noticing this white fuzz on some of my repots it looks like mold to me. Will this harm the plants? How can I get rid of this, I repotted this last Saturday && within a few days I can see the white fuzz on them, not only at the top of the substrate but within it as well. Thanks in advance

Confused on what’s happening in the first photo. There’s white appearing on my Pygmy Date Palm and no idea if it’s from stress or something else. I’m comparing it to the second photo because they get the same amount of water, same amount of sun, and around the same amount of shade. I’ve been watering 2-3 days for the last 3 weeks (I planted them 3 weeks ago). New to planting (especially with this plant). Thank you in advance.

Trying to revive a dead mint plant. I pruned down all the dead branches to the soil and watered. I know have it in direct sunlight. Just started today

My Chinese Money plant has been losing its leaves from the bottom of its stem. The bottom leaves are so fragile if I even bump it a little it will just pop right off. I’m so confused? The leaves on the top are fine and it’s even growing a baby. The stem feels fine, thick and not mushy at all. Is this just something that happens ???

Curious about my bamboo… I’ve always kept it in water - recently it ran out for a few days, but I caught it and refilled with water. I noticed the stalks look ever so slightly wrinkled and there are some of the leafs yellowing. In my previous experience this has been the beginning of the end. Any tips? Have I don’t something irreparable? Or anything I can do to bolster and get them happy again? Do I peel off the yellowing leaves? Thanks for your guidance on something maybe very simple… 🙏 🌱

Hi all, can anyone figure out why my citrus tree looks so unhappy? I am worried that it has HLB, but can't tell if the yellow mottling is due to that or just to me not taking care of it correctly. I am in zone 10b, water it about every 5 days, I have slow release fertilizer in the soil, and am using all purpose soil. It is fully outside and gets direct sun from about noon to sunset (7ish hrs). Thanks :)

Hello 🤍! I’m wondering if someone can help me figure out what’s happening to my peace lily! I’ve had it in this jar for years, and it’s been fine living in water. Just recently a lot of its leaves turned yellow and I had to cut them off. And now two of them have these little black/brown dots/streaks on the leaves. Does anyone know what’s happening? Or if it’s possible to save it?

I’m having trouble with my rosemary plant. It’s planted outside and is repeatedly attacked by some kind of blight that turns the leaves brown and gray. It eventually kills the entire plant. Anyone know what it might be?

HELP!! I thought I saw some thrips on my baby sun rose plant, so I did some research on natural pesticides. I read that a mixture or dawn dish soap and water works, so I sprayed them down and I come to find this the next day?? I just heavily sprayed them with water to try to wash any soap off and put them way out of the sun. Maybe I had too much soap or maybe that was just poison to begin with but please please send help how do I heal my babies 🥲

Hey all! I bought this lipstick plant about 3 months ago healthy from a nursery, potted it in the same day. It was not doing well, despite me having told the nursery lady the light my room gets, so I repotted it 1 week ago with more soil. I still don’t think it’s doing well! If anyone has any advice I would love to hear it <3

Hi! I have these tiny little bugs that are crawling and in the dirt of my plant and I’m not sure what they are or how to kill them😭. If anybody could help, I would appreciate it. They are in all of my plants and aren’t super visible until I disturb the soil and then they all begin crawling around.

Are the baby yellow ones okay, or should I remove them? I just watered them on Monday. 😶

My baby rubber plant is looking very dull and a bit sad i think? I noticed a lot of tiny new growth had dried up and died, which i picked off already. I water her according to plantas advice, and today the soil was BONE dry when i watered it. Plus she’s in a pretty low light spot, should i move her somewhere brighter? And possibly water a bit more often?
