Accidentally outside

I have horrible news. My succulent has a disease. Do not know what it is. However, I haven’t tried anything to help it get better. I have not given the plant any food. I haven’t given any iodine or sodium.

Help! I got these two beautiful Calatheas a few days ago. I was super excited to see them but it seems like they aren’t adjusting well so far. I know that they are very delicate plants and can be dramatic but any ideas on what might be wrong? Are they getting too much sun or are underwatered? I’m purchasing a water meter to accurately determine how wet they are but in the meantime, any ideas?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you! :)

Hi all! My ficus has been unwell since the beginning of winter and I'm struggling to understand what's going on. She has all these spots on her leaves. I checked the roots and pests, we're on the clear on that end. I only water her when she's dry. Help please!!

I have this plant to my friend and I’m afraid it’s too cold in the house and that’s why it looks like this?

I got this plant on sale from a “save rack” and knew nothing about it. They said it is a Pink Quill. After reading about a pink quill I have found that they bloom once and then green again or sprout little flowers. How do I know if this has already bloomed and what should I do with it if it already has? I would love to keep it even if it doesn’t flower. I just need some advice and ideas. Thank you! 🌱

Hello everyone, this is my HUGE fiddle leaf fig (ficus lyrata). But right now, the edges are turning a bit brown, and I’m not sure why. Any comments or tips would be greatly appreciated. Than you!

Hi! I just got this dieffenbachia from a grocery store and found these white spots on one of the small leaves near the soil. Could anyone help me to identify if they are scale insects? Should I be worried? I inspected the plant and haven’t found this on any other leaves (yet…). The plant looks otherwise healthy.

Hi! I have a hydroponic system set up with some herbs and arugula. There are little white bugs underneath the leaves and all along the stems of all of my plants. What are these and how can I fix it?

I have this ficus tree, I have had her for over a year and the past few months or so her leaves have started drooping and yellowing slightly and the plant itself has started to lean forward. I repotted her about a week ago but wanted some more advice on anything I could change or add to help her!

My pothos keeps getting yellow leaves on this one vine. It’s never done that in the four years I’ve had it! Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong?

When its supposed to be heavy rain I put my cacti inside a little green house, has worked for 3 years. I got a new mini dessert rose cacti and added in with my others along with 2 new other baby cacti. This weekend it was supposed to storm so I put them in like normal, my feather and thimble were fine when I pulled them out the next day but my mini dessert lost color but the stems have the same consistency as the health part. How can I help her?

I got a string of bananas plant a few months ago. When a cold front hit at the beginning if January I covered her up because I couldnt bring her inside (not alot of space and my cats always try to eat my plants) Half of her is fine the other is crispy the in the middle of the sections there's some lines where its crispy to start then turns healthy or the complete 180 of that. What can I do to help her??

I have a feeling that the answer will be no, but my mother forgot to water our two Ivy plants for I don’t know how long and now they’re all crispy. She’s been misting the leaves and trying to nurse them back… is there anything else she can do or is it too late? Thanks!

Fungal gnat problem! Had an explosion of these guys invade most of my indoor plants. I’ve got glue traps everywhere throughout the house. I’ve tried doing the apple cider vinegar and dish soap in a shallow container. I’ve also done the boiling water down my drains including shower drain. Most recently I’ve been doing mosquito bits soaking in water I use to water the plants in tandem with all of these things. THEY NEVER FULLY DIE. It’s also winter so the mosquito bit treatment has long periods in between since most of my plants don’t need water like that with so little light. I’ve heard people do the hydrogen peroxide cleanup of roots but it’s really difficult for me to repot anything in winter. I have an apt so there’s very little space for such an endeavor especially considering I have well over 20 plants inside. Maybe there’s a more efficient way to use the bits? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
