I inherited this plant from my boss. I’d love to do anything to bring it back to being happy. It was super dry so I gave it a good drink, but are there any other tricks I can try or signs of deeper problems I’ll need to take care of before it’s back to health?

I received this Raindrop/Coin Leaf Peperomia in the mail two days ago. The leaves were a bit bent and curled from the packaging and the trip. Does anyone have any advice for how to help with the bending of the leaves? There aren’t any direct bends that make it folded in half or anything. It was just secured in the box with rubber bands. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. (I’m also trying to pick a name for this new plant, so any name suggestions would also be greatly appreciated.)

Look carefully! What are those white spots on the back of the leaves of my Celibes pepper? She has been sprayed three times with neem and the white spots seem to reoccur a few days after the spray. These little spots will get a bit larger and be very obvious, which it was the first time I saw them. Anybody have any idea what it is? How do I treat it? A big TXS. 😊💚🪴

Hi everyone, my polka dot plant has got mould! 😭😭 Does anyone know what I’m meant to do next? it’s only at the top on the soil, and the plant itself is fine, bad the bottom two leaves. There is also a little mould ground at the base of the stems. Recently a few of the older damaged stems have died, and some of their leaves have been left in the pot, so is it related to them rotting? I usually bottom water, but the soil is still moist from top watering last week. thank youu :)

Hi! I have a rubber tree that i’ve been growing for a couple of years but it’s been sick for a few months now. I noticed brown spots on the leaves and figured that was from poor drainage, so i changed the soil and moved it into a bigger pot. That helped for awhile, but now I’m noticing white spots on the leaves and yellowing. Any help would be appreciated!!

Hey planty people 🙋🏼‍♀️ So the soil for my FLF seems compacted. When I water him it doesn’t seem like there’s any absorption issues but he is showing signs of water stress in all his new leaves, including one that’s coming out now. Should I soak the whole pot for 10 minutes or just repot? He’s in a clear container and I can see the roots and it doesn’t seem like he needs a repot yet.

So- question- what in the world is this?!!? I found 2 in the soil, the part with the lines wiggles around when I hold it. I will try to load the video but I don’t think I can on this app.

Mo’ney my Pachira (Money Tree) has this one leaf that looks like this pictured below. I feel like it gets enough light, I’ve been rotating it ever so often because i read plants grow toward the light? (I’m a first time plant owner). I’ve been watering it when the top feels dry, I lifted the pot and it looks maybe too wet? Or does this look ok? Also am I supposed to continue to use twist ties at some point to help the branches to keep “braiding”?

Hello! I could use some advise for my poor String of Dolphins. Unfortunately, it’s been sniveling for quite some time. I have been conscious of not overwatering it and it receives partial sunlight. I am not sure what to do!!!

Hi there. My mom gave me a cutting of her pothos plant that I had been growing in water for a few weeks. I finally potted it last week and within a few days, some of the leaves started to yellow. I panicked and put it back in just water. Pls help!
