Whatās wrong with my plant?
Iāve had this Joshua plant for a little over a year now, Iāve struggled with preventing the fuzzy off-white fungus which seems to be growing on its leaves, and now itās gotten quite sad with many leaves turning yellow/brown and spotting. There does seem to be quite a bit of new growth as well though too.
Every time I water it, it seems to get upset, so Iāve hardly been watering it (going like 2 months without watering). When I was watering it more regularly it was not any better, and the leaf fungus was worse. Not sure how to best go about caring for this plant.

The Planta App is instructing me to repot every one of my 30 plus plants today. My plants are all different sizes and ages. Is this a mistake by Planta?

Is it okay that my one flower has completely fallen over?

Is my thyme leggy? I have moved the light closer to it, but I want to know everything I can do to ensure it grows as best as possible. Also, when should I consider repotting it, and into what kind of pot? Thank you!

THE LITTLE WHITE DOTS ARE BENEFICIAL INSECTS THAT I JUST DEPOSITED. but Iām wondering if the damage looks like itās from pests or bacteria?? I have this guy in semi-hydro under a grow light for 12 hours per day. Thereās a humidifier in the room.
What is the damage from you think?

I've just repotted my avocado trees but on one of them there top leaves have gone really limp and thin. I repotted with soil recommended to me for these plants and mixed in some chicken pellets. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it or what's wrong?

Okay. This is kinda strange. Bought this Calathea White Star from a seller on Etsy a few weeks ago.
As I was just checking it over and noticed it looks like itās in some kind of fiber ābagā. This is the pot it came to me in. I havenāt repotted it yet.
Is this restricting the roots, do ya think? Do I need to try to remove it and repot it? ( You can see it just around the circumference of where the stems are growing up from.)

Bumped into this today and broke that stem almost completely off. š¢š¢š¢ Taped it up. Any chance it'll survive?

Hi everyone! I just joined today after buying a pothos (not pictured). I had a couple of work friends gift me plants (pictured) when I left in October. I feel like they are looking a little sad š the succulent has looked this droopy since November-ish but it keeps growing upward. Some leaves (?) have shriveled up, and I just pick them off.
Very very new to caring for plants. I want these to continue to live and thrive and be able to apply new knowledge to this pothos. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Iāve had this little peace lily for about a month or two now, itās starting to get yellow leaves. I havenāt checked the root system yet, and it seems to be growing new leaves as well. Today is its watering day. Any advice on how to help its overall health? There also seems to be mold on the top of the soil too? What do you guys think?

Hi! I'm looking for some help with identifying what the heck these white specs are.
plants&chickens
can anyone identify what's wrong with my plectranthus? I've checked the roots and they look fine, but the stems are shriveled. the leaves are floppy, like it needs water but I've tried increasing my watering and no change. this is a cutting from my mother's plant and i really don't want to lose it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone help identify whatās going on with this monstera?! Are these pests?
I recently noticed some burning ok my leaves and now this sort of dusty appearing stuff. To be honest, it could be from lack of wiping but the last watering I did shower her and give her a neem treatment (preventative measure because a neighbor plant had mites). And I did dump some of that same neem treatment in to finish off watering.
So could this be from that? From the dawn that was in the mixture? Please help. My delusions tell me not to worry, so I come to you all humbly begging you to tell me what this is.
Thank you in advance everyone! Happy Sunday

Hey friends! This is my Ficus Elastica the day I got her (maybe like a week or so) vs. today Ėā Ė
I had her under a grow light with some of my full sun plants, I think she might have dried out too much and was possible stressed by moving from the store to my home. I watered her and put her in my bright-indirect light window, and I tried Dr Planta but it didn't give me any answers really. Will she recover?? I've never had this kind of plant before. Thanks !! šæš

Can anyone help me with this plant? Iāve had it for a couple of years now and this winter really took a turn for the worse.
Iām very careful about overwatering (learned that the hard way), repotted last year in well draining soil with holesā¦
Please help.

PLEASE HELP ā¼ļøā¼ļø
One day my Peace Lily is just fine, regular watering day. The Next day I find thatās itās dropped like a dead fly.
I donāt know if it was my watering temperature, something with the soil (it hasnāt been repotted in over a year?), the roots???
Should I take it out the pot and check the roots? The yellowing is starting to form at the bottom.
P.S The only time my peace lily is ādramaticā when I havenāt watered it in over a month, this looks like something different.

Whatās happening to my money tree ?
I got this as a gift on Valentineās Day, it already had some of it spotting but since taking it in, Iāve repotted and gotten a lot of new growth since the repot but now the spots wonāt go away.
I usually have her near this window as it gets lots of great light. Once Iāve moved her here, I started to see all that growth ā¦.is it the sun or could it be something else? Iām afraid to move her because she seems to be really liking it here, other than those spots.
