This stalk from a succulent fell off the mother plant at Walmart and it looked like it fell off the same day I found it. Mother plant had something of âtricolorâ or âvariegatedâ on the plant label but canât remember exactly what. Google photos is saying some sort of Jade. Help? So anyway, I stuffed this piece into my purse after I found it laying (it wouldâve been thrown away, we all know thatđ ) looking plump in the leaves, forgot about it, and the next day 6/14 I found it in my purse again with the leaves all wrinkly like in the photos I put it in a pot and watered it. I Just watered it again now 6/17 11:50pm. Itâs still green so it can still be helped right? Anything special I should do?

Question for the experts:
I got these two plants about 2 weeks ago, the app says theyâre Button Ferns.
The sad one went from healthy to looking like this within 2 days. It is in a morning sun location, shade in the afternoon, by an open window. Its buddy (pictured) that I got at the same time was in the same location and still looks good. The pots have a removable drainage hole, so I put them in the sink when I watered them. I believe Iâve only watered them once in the previous two weeks.
Give it to me straight, can this dude come back? What do I need to do to make sure I donât lose the other one?
Many thanks for your guidance!

So this was on our front step in the winter when we moved in, mid December. It looks like a house leek. And now that Iâm getting into plants, Iâd love to see if the parts that are somehow still looking alive are salvageable somehow before I just toss it or what I should do? Iâve never had a succulent before!

I wanted to share an experience with using mosquito bits. I have been making a tea and using it to water all my plants. I also use yellow sticky traps for any adult gnats that happen to get into the house. Itâs been working great!
One thing I learned is that I should NOT have sprinkled some of them in my indoor plant soil. They are starting to get a fuzzy mold so I have had to go through all my plants and get them out as best as possible.
In conclusion:
Mosquito bits tea đ
Mosquito bits sprinkles đ

Hello everyone! My one years old avocado is getting sick. His leaves have started to dry and becoming crispy, some of them have already detached from the plant? Can you help me? Thank youđ„

Iâve never had an Alocasia before but hubby gave me one for Motherâs day. The soil seemed super wet when he gave it to me and so I thought I would let it dry out a bit before watering. It NEVER dried out. Instead the plant just fell over when I went to check
on it I discovered it had root rot. I cleaned it up and put it in a prop jar but I have no idea what kind of care it needs or if it is salvageable as this is my first time dealing with this kind of plant.
Any suggestions or thought on care are much appreciated!

My brother gave me his Vigoro Yucca Cane to try to save (he overwatered it) so I took off all the dead leaves and left it alone for about 3 weeks. The remaining leaves starting dying and the smaller trunk was squishy so I suspected it had root rot. I took it out the pot and rinsed the roots off. Do they look normal? The one with the new growth is the squishy trunk and the other one is the one with leaves. I also read that the new growth is a sign of the plantâs last ditch effort to save itself. Any advice on what I should do?
(The roots were also basically taking over the pot and they ended up breaking through the inside pot. Iâm not sure if that couldâve caused this?)

I cannot remember what flowers these are but they arenât doing so well in my possession. Does anyone know what could be causing it and things I can do to get these babies to flourish again???

My ZZ plant was doing very good but I just noticed this on the tallest stem. Does anyone what this is and what itâs from? It doesnât get much sun so could it be from that?
