Help! My mother in law just got this guy and in a day he’s taken a turn. Any thoughts on what it could be? She got me the same one 2 days later so I’m nervous mine will turn too!

Can any one identify these weird root things? They appeared so quickly and look nothing like my monstera’s roots and it has me concerned. She is still doing good and is even in the middle of pushing out a new leaf, so that’s good at least.

Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems Sorry for the pun. But my money tree is getting a really big new stem (shown in the first picture on the right) that’s outpacing all of the other leaves. In contrast some of my other leaves are yellowing/browning. Any fixes?

Hi y’all. This is my first ficus tree and I noticed this greenish tinge at the base. Got this not even a week ago. Is this normal? I plan on repotting this weekend.

Hi there, beginner gardener here! I was wondering if anyone able to help identifying these white spots that have come up on my olive plant. I’m starting to get concerned as there’s a few leafs affected and I’m unsure how to treat it. It doesn’t rub off and the other side of the leaf looks fine. Any advice/info is very appreciated! ☀️🌱

Ogh my oxalis just up and died in like a week. Seems like odd timing, but what are the chances it went dormant this time of year? That happened once and it came back? Thoughts? Advice?

Hello! 🤠 New to plants and received 3 by mail yesterday. Didn’t know to inspect/quarantine. I’m concerned the Peperomia Watermelon, and Peperomia Hope may have some kind of pest or mildew? Would it be too soon to treat with Captain Jack’s Neem Oil. Or should I do sticky traps for now and let them acclimate? I’m concerned for the Monstera as well. Any advice is appreciated!.(:
