What are these & are they dangerous for my white bird of paradise?
My Easter cactus which has been doing really well have some of these little dots on the ends of the leaves. Anything I should worry about?
Hello! I just got yesterday this Kentia Palm from B&Q and it looks like this (a lil bit unhealthy I think). What can I do to improve it?
What is this?
My white philodendron isn’t doing so great- 2 leaves are yellowing and have a pinkish middle, and 2 others have brown spots. It has been in the same location, watering schedule has been mostly the same in that I’ve been watering it more often because its been a terribly dry and warm winter here. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you! 🙏
Hey guys. My Baby Rubber Peperomia plant has not been doing so well and has been losing lots of leaves. During the summer it was very healthy and thriving but now it is extremely skinny and sickly. I have had it for about a year and a half. How can I fix it? Dr. Planta says it is lack of light but I wonder if it has to do with the fact that it is winter. The only problem with this however is that last winter, it didn’t have this problem; or at least now to this extent. I don’t have a picture yet but I will upload one as soon as I can. Thanks! 🫠
Hello! My friend gave this to me as a gift. I am not great at rehabilitation yet and the leaves, on what I’m assuming to be is a golden pothos, are not great. Hoping to repot it soon, but I currently cannot for a few weeks. Any tips to rehabilitate it in the meantime?
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do with this potted plant assortment? I took it home from my husband’s aunt’s funeral, and even though it was in the warm car for the 9 hr drive home, the extreme cold this weekend seems to have shocked the peace lily. The soil is still moist so I took it into one of the warmer rooms in my house where there is a humidifier running. How soon should I try to separate the other little plants like the parlor palm & such from the peace lily? Thanks in advance!
Hi, everyone! I’m relatively new to plants and would love your feedback. My pink valentine is unwell and I first thought it was because I watered twice with tap water when it should have been distilled/filtered water. Today I saw this critter (3rd photo) and tried to snap photos. Is this thrips? Can the plant be saved? Thanks for your help!
I can't make this guy happy 🤬 he's due for a repot, but ever since i got him the minute a whiff of dry is felt, he's wilting his butt off. 😑 anyone else have one? Farfugium japonicum 'firefly' I haven't actually seen many as house plants, most of the info is for outdoors. Which i may try this spring/summer. Maybe a self watering pot? They seem to be kind of an understood plant. In a west window with lots of light, also from a south window kitty korner. Misted every other day. Silica w/every water. Fertilized every 2 weeks. No pests.
a couple of my plants are very root bound but producing new leaves at the same time…repotting right now would be too stressful?
Hello. I was hoping someone could help me figure out what is wrong with this plant and if it is beyond help. It’s been staying alive for about half a year like this and I have tried everything I can but I don’t know what to do. Can it be saved?
Hi guys I just picked up this snake plant from the store, unfortunately I didn’t inspect it closely enough and just saw that 2 of them have been cut off at the tips (click on the top pic), which I understand means they won’t grow :/ Should I propagate those? Additionally the sides of some of the leaves kinda look nibbled off, will they continue to grow tall?
Just picked up this zebra plant on sale. Extremely crunchy, dry, wilted leaves. Pruned the super dead ones, repotted, watered, and have been misting daily. I plan on getting a pebble tray soon for extra humidity. It’s in a bright but indirect light area. Any other tips????
Anyone know why my soil has hairy mould on the surface and how to stop this. My snake plant gets watered every 3 weeks in winter and so the soil is completely dry for watering so I’m really confused as a new plant parent.
Hello all! I recently bought this monstera about a week ago, the new growth for some reason has some brownish black spotting on it, I don’t know what’s happening. I don’t think I am overwatering. Any idea what’s going on?
Does anyone struggle with indoor lavender? As soon as I bring home a new pot the leaves and branches dry no matter what I seem to try and do. I’ve treated it as well as my other plants as far as I know since I’m new to this, and my lavender always looks so sad :( please let me know if this is just a lost cause.
Hello! I bought a money tree last month from a local plant store. I read lots of articles and watched videos on its care since I’m a beginner, I really want this to live! After letting it adapt in its corner for about 2-3 weeks, I repotted it with fresh soil and plant food. I also snipped the rubber bands and was surprised at the amount of root there was since lots of videos and writers said to expect a small amount of short roots. I’m pleased to say my tree is growing so fast and beautifully! I water when the soil is dry and there are no signs of root rot or pests. However, a few leaves are showing patches. My mom wondered if it was a fungus. I assumed my leaves were scorched as I get lots of sunlight in my room so I moved it to a more indirect location. I know I can prune them but unless I have to I don’t want to. I’m hoping someone can teach me something I’m not finding on the internet; I can’t find pictures that depict what I’m experiencing! Thank you!
My Alocasia is looking pretty down trodden lately. Anyone have an idea of what could be wrong?
I just got a calathea white fusion and it needs a bit of TLC. I'm not sure if this has been caused by over watering, under watering...
