Hi someone please help so my little aloe was not looking great really droopy and the app told me I needed to switch the soil out due to overwatering and of course my ADHD brain didn’t remind me to do that until like a week later so when I pulled it out of the soil the roots were bone dry and all fell off. All that’s left are these two little stragglers I don’t even know if they’re alive or not should I chop off the end, Let it callous and try to water propagate it to grow new roots or? would appreciate any advice!🖤

Hello, For the past three months, all of my Coleus and Ivy have been turning black and drying out, starting from the bottom up. The stems emerging from the soil darken first, then the discoloration moves upward, causing the leaves to dry. I’ve always been passionate about my plants, but I’m not sure what suddenly went wrong, some are still healthy, but about half have died. I usually water them once a week and have been using pure Miracle-Gro indoor potting soil for the past three years. I’m also new to this app and exploring, hoping to find a convincing answer. Any ideas from you experienced plant lovers? I’d really appreciate the help!

I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my elephant bush. This summer it was THRIVING and now all the leaves have dropped and there are 4 big ones left. There’s a few new little baby leaves. I repotted it about a week ago thinking that was maybe the problem. I only water when the soil is damp halfway up the pot. It’s an 8” pot. Please help! It’s one of my favorite plants 😭

I got this clipping of a Chinese Evergreen about a month ago and repotted it. Two of the leaves are yellowing! Should I clip them off? If so, how far down should I clip?

Rosemary leaves browning from the tips to the base. This rosemary plant is in ground outdoors in a sandy clay loam bed that I double dug last year with compost before planting. It faired really well over the summer but since December the weather in our area has been cold and damp (we’ve had several snow storms since the beginning of January and it has taken a while for things to dry out). I’ve dug the plant up and am taking it inside but the roots appear to be fine (not mushy or otherwise showing signs of rot). What could be the problem?

Came back from my week away to find my calathea completely dead, it’s had a steady watering schedule (every two weeks) for the past 4 months. Is there any way I can get it back

Hello! I got my lucky bamboo about 6 months my now. He's been doing very good, growing strong, etc. Lately, some sticks have been turning yellow, then brown. I've already taken out about 3 of them. I'm not sure what to do 🥲. Help please.

I am having a problem with my Marble Queen Pothos. At first it was thriving, misting it every other day and then watering every week. Now, it has leaves just a the bottom and I decided to water it more frequently every 3 days or so and it is close to indirect natural light. Any recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated. This is what she looks like now

I have a Rex begonia and although I know they are difficult this plant is kicking my butt. At first I followed plantas instructions but the leaves just kept dropping. Figured too little sun, then maybe too much, then too much water, so I gave it more. It has almost no roots, maybe five leaves and won’t stop dropping leaves. It looks healthy, a little wilted but it won’t stop dropping. HELP.

I have a dracaena (Corn Plant) that has started to get some yellowing leaves especially at the lower portion. Any thoughts about potential causes (too much or too little water, location, etc.)? I am just following the app’s watering schedule.

SOS HELP PLEASE!! I’ve had this corn plant for 5 years now and it’s done so well. These past few weeks it’s been shedding some bottom leaves so I’ve been thinking it’s just growing but now the stalk looks dried out and more leaves are going. Roots look ok and the soil isn’t wet at all. Can it be saved?!?!

My Monstera Swiss cheese is always making new leaves, but they haven’t been unfolding. They are there for a long time and don’t do anything so I have had to open them on my own several times now. I spray the plant to up the humidity and water as needed. Please help me figure out what’s wrong!

I am not sure how to properly light or water this plant. I have had it for half a year and it has made no progress, it keeps growing leaves that soon die off. Maybe fertilizer?

Anyone know what this is? Plant has over 10 leaves and this is the only stem with it. I thought it was bugs and scraped at it, rubbed it, cleaned it.

Hey everyone! I’m very new to plants and I woke up to my marble queen pothos having brown spots on my new leaves that just open and another that’s about to open also holes in older leaves. Not sure if it’s signs of root rot or pest so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
