My rose bush’s leaves are turning yellow and brown. Within a day of a flower blooming, it turns brown and the petals fall off. I want to keep the rose bush alive.

My Christmas cactus seems to be declining in health. Spots on leaves, see through leaves, and now these white root like things growing in the soil. Any suggestions??

Lately, the leaves of my aster have turned very yellow. The pot has drainage, so I don't think it's an overwatering issue. What else might be going on?

This is my Chinese evergreen and he’s been thriving since I got him, lots of new shoots and even have a little baby on the way! However these yellow/ brown spots have been on him since I got him, are these a cause for concern? What could they be from?

Has anyone ever had this happen? I know it’s time for it to go to a new medium but terrified of the transition. It’s starting to brown and I know some of the roots are going to rot. Should I transition it to water or a soil mix? Thanks in advance.

Please help! My peace lily has been thriving the past few months and then suddenly it has done this. It’s very sad looking, it has had plenty of water & was repotted last week with well draining soil. Thanks in advance!

Can someone please help me identify what this is on my plant leaves? These are ones I plucked off assuming their damaged, I don’t know if it’s from sunburn or if it’s something else. Does anybody know or have Idea please, thank you. (It’s a Jade plant/succulent)

I have my elephant ear plant in leca that sits in water. I haven’t changed the water in 2 months (really busy with school +life). I just kept adding water to the bucket. Anywho my plant is doing fine. I’m changing the water and there is brown clumpy stuff in it. Like algae. What is this?

I'm new to alocasia and recently got this guy. It came with a small brown/yellow spot or two on two leaves. Then all of them started looking like this and crisping from the outside in. I repotted into chunkier soil and had to treat for thrips so I'm thinking these leaves might just be done for. Should I just chop them off and try to regrow it? Lol

Hello everyone! (Pictures of the orange pot are what she looked like before. Pictures of brown pot is what she looks like now.) I can use some advice with my philodendron. I recently got her a couple of weeks ago and she needed to be repotted badly. Her roots were lifting from under the soil and even breaking the plastic pot she was in. So I repotted her and I know you’re usually supposed to go 1-2inches bigger when repotting, but the pot I got for her was 3 inches bigger than her current one. I thought since maybe her roots were so crazy, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but ever since I repotted her, I’m kind of regretting that. I don’t really know what’s going on, but she’s been dropping leaves like crazy, and they’re all browning. If someone can help me understand what’s going on and what I can do to help her? Is she in shock? Do I size down or would that make things worse? She’s such a beautiful plant 🙏

SOS, my neighbors left this on the porch and didn’t want it anymore… Is it too late to save? Are these pests? The Internet is not helping me, but I repotted it and it looks greener already and I don’t know if this is only sun damage or if it’s some kind of bug, but I don’t wanna put it next to my healthy plants if so! Thank you for your help in advance 💫🤧

Why does the inside of my nerogelia look like this. It use to grow new leaves from here then a flower died inside, I took the dead flower out and now just a bunch of crust remains.
