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...

This bird’s nest fern was bought in Sept 24. Almost killed it once but now seems to be doing pretty good. My question is: Do I have to bury the roots below the soil? It has pushed itself up again and there are no roots coming out of bottom of nursery pot. Thank you much in advance.

I need some help with my dracaena 😭 all I did was water her thoroughly a couple days ago and this morning she's browning/yellowing. This is very out of character for her. I don't think I see any pests so far

I need help with my spider plant! She was a house warming gift I got back in August and has been going down hill lately. Her tips are turning yellow, brown, and crispy. She was just recently repotted as I was concerned she may have some rotting but humidity/underwatering seemed to be the original issue. I have been increasing watering which seemed to help but now, I am noticing she has discoloration towards the base of her stems/leaves and any new growth all the tips are dying before they really develop. Is there anything I might be missing? Does she maybe need downgraded? She's in the pot she was gifted in and only recently put back into a clear nursery pot. She's in a N facing sliding glass door with grow lights for 12 hours a day. She is misted once or twice a week and watered by watering can once a week or bottom watered every 2 weeks. She is treated once every week to two weeks with homemade plant insects spray(water,neem oil, caster oil,peppermint oil, alcohol) I have included the pictures of what she looked like when I got her, where's she's set up, an updated photo of her, and the concerning spots.

I got this fern about 2 weeks ago and it wasn't doing good so I out it in the bathroom and have been spurting the leafs with water and it doesn't look any better. What do I do? Any other things I should try?(also should I take the dead leafs off???)

The potting mix I made is sprouting little plants and mushrooms. Are these bad? They've only been in 1 pot so far so maybe the plant had spores on its roots from the nursery. The mix is mostly African violet soil mixed with vermiculite and charcoal.

I finally figured out what was going on with my blushing philo! Upon googling "plant leaves turning translucent" it said that could be due to edema. Everything checks out, the damage was first visible on newer leaves and looked a lot like some cells just burst. The water droplets on the leaves due to gutting appeared, and it was really due to an environment change during winter time, with not a lot of airflow happening, and temperature dropping. I moved my Philo away from the window, really hoping it'll feel better, he's my pride and joy. /Edit: here's the new setup further from the flow of cold air. Philo should still get some sun there, while triostars should only be getting indirect light.

I have this red ginger. Any one want to venture if this is over or under watering or even too close to my plant light?

Help!! My grandparents got me this BEAUTIFUL monstera for Christmas, but it seems to be planted with aerial roots without actual roots.. I’m new to being a plant mom so idk if this will survive? I’d love some insight on if this will work and if not what to do. Thank you in advance!!

Thai constellation help!!! My leaf has this pot on her but diagnosis says water issue but she is watered and Im not sure what else could help!

Spider mites are going to be the death of me. 😭 For anyone needing help, Castile soap and water is a lovely way to rid them but you have to be consistent in treating your plants regularly. I’ve also learned that humidity is a huge factor, if it’s too dry they love it, they can also get through extremely tiny spaces and fly through the air. Now I’m off to the home improvement store for door insulators to try and mitigate that aspect. 🫠 Everytime I get them under control I slack on my soap spray duties and I get an infested plant.

Does anyone know what is wrong with this plant I have been gifted? I think it is a corn plant but not 100% sure and it doesn’t look very healthy. Can anyone help?

Any suggestions what to do when bringing new plants into the home? I was just at an outdoor market and there was one vendor that had some plants. I got 2 small plants, but as I was grabbing them I noticed the plant next to them had some of that white crusty stuff on it. I saw an earlier post that they may be mealy bugs. How to prevent contaminating my plants with newbies?

Hey yall. My ant plant looks awesome and is doing great. But he loves to randomly drop healthy leaves. Sometimes they are near a baby leaf so that makes sense but it dropped two this morning for no reason?

does anyone know why my corn plant is growing mushrooms??😭 it’s in all purpose potting mix and it gets sunlight all day. my house isn’t very humid so this is very strange to me

Help! We went on a 4-day vacation and my Calethea completely wilted! And there are some new brown spots. I usually water it to schedule if the soil gets a little dry with daily mistings. Since we got back I watered it, used a humidifier, and misted it, but it hasn’t helped at all! How do I bring it back to its perky self??
