Hello all!
I got this Money Tree a couple months ago and I can't tell if I'm just being a worry wart or if she's looking a little down right now. I'm newer to this whole plant keeping thing and just wanted to make sure she's doing alright.
She was bought from a Costco (I think?) and came with the little holes and rips in her leaves unfortunately, otherwise I haven't seen any yellowing, crisping or dropping of leaves since I took the rubber band off her base. Other sources have said that it's normal for her to look a little droopy in the winter but I thought I'd ask anyway just in case.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Any ideas on why my bird of paradise leaf looks rusty? Itâs one of the older leaves on the plant, none of the other leaves look like this.

Iâve had this plant for a really long time, I never knew what it was. Could anyone figure out what it is, itâs a desert plant. Lately its leaves havenât been doing well & hopefully once I figure out what it is I can help it.

Anyone know why my plant is doing this? Itâs an outdoor plant and we live in Florida. Was doing fine until recently. I know weâve had a bit of a cold snap but I donât think thatâs the issue? Could it be that I need to repot maybe? The leaves are yellowing and becoming transparent for clarification

Is she dead? I bought a lemon cypress yesterday on clearance at a CVS while just grabbing some bandaids and sheâs bone dry and crunchy. I repotted her to moist soil and Iâm sure it will take time but Iâm wondering now after some research if sheâs too far gone.

To those who use mosquito bits to control gnats: would it be safe/effective to crumble it into the soil?

Whats going on with the pilia and the black spots? Treated it with bonide to get rid of gnats. Already took of some other leaves with these black spots.

Hi all! I bought this money tree ~2 weeks ago (never had one before). I noticed right after purchasing it has mealy bugs on a leaf so I physically removed those/treated/quarantined the plant for a week. Repotted a week ago and now am noticing these spots on 2 of the newer leaves. Any idea what this could be? The plant has been watered according to schedule and has north facing and *some* west facing light.

My variegated monstera has brown dots on it? I checked online and it said to increase drainage and I did, I was told to put silaca gel packets on top of the soil and I did but we still seem to be struggling. The new growths look fine but not this one. Any recommendations?

Hello! Is there anyway I can cut this down and try to save it? It hasnât done well in any of the light Iâve put it in, but under a plant light itâs getting a little more fresh on top

I wrote on here about 1 week ago that my Thai monstera was drench when I got it from Home Depot. It still is very droopy especially the bottom leaves. Can some one please help me

Iâve had this Peace Lily for about a year now and it seems to have hated me from the very beginning. It was from a funeral arrangement with multiple plants, so I donât know if it was diseased from the beginning, but it seemed healthy enough at first. Then the leaves started drying from the tips up so I hurried up and repotted it, separating it from the other plants with which it was potted. The roots looked fine back then. Since then, Iâve tried more light, less light, more water, less water, fertilizer⊠What started as a rather full plant is down to a few leaves of new growth. That at least makes me a little bit hopeful, but I want to know what to do right this time so that these new leaves donât shrivel and die too. I thought I might need to repot it now that itâs so small, but I also didnât want to make it mad, lol, so I havenât done that yet. Any thoughts?

Please help me save my Chinese evergreen!!!
I bought this Chinese evergreen about 2 weeks ago, very healthy looking. I put it by a big window, where it started to wilt within 48 hours. I live in Scotland so I thought Iâd maybe shocked the plant by putting it near the cold window, so I moved it to a warmer place. In the past two weeks Iâve watered it once with just a bit of water, and once under a running tap until it drained through the soil. Iâve kept it in nice light, away from the window.
It is continuing to wither away, each day the leaves turn progressively more brown and the brown spots are spreading to the other leaves. There is now only ONE leaf with no brown spots at all. PLEASE what can I do???
