URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE 😖!!! This is nearly two months apart, the health of my plant was already declining a little which i was never sure why since i watered him when i was supposed to. Recently i gave my plant to a friend for a 2 week period, and it seems i accidentally told her to water him too much, so he is now overwatered. So i am currently not watering him for a while (Before I would normally water him with Tap water and Baby Bio Houseplant food), but i need more help on how to make him happy again. I am desperate to revive his health, he is my one and only plant and it really upsets me. 😣😞

What's happening to my Peace Lily? It was all happy and thriving and suddenly this happened! Never overwatered it!

Hi guys, my golden pothos is doing great besides these two leaves. They are yellow, turning brown, and drooping. My plant is taking a long time to drain through the drainage holes, and it is on the window sill receiving direct sunlight throughout the day. It’s getting colder here so I might move away from the window. Any advice to keep it healthy?

Is this mold on my golden pothos? The roots are firm, no obvious rot, and were dry before I just added a little water and noticed. TIA!

I have this plant setup in one of my room. I just noticed, I have thrips. The infested plants were placed where the red dots are, but have now been treat (hose down and insecticidal soap) and are isolated away from the others. I’m also going to hang some yellow sticky traps. I’ve looked at the rest of the plants and haven’t noticed any thrips on them. But….my in-laws are visiting in a couple weeks and I really want get rid of the thrips as quickly/easily as possible. My question: should I treat them all or only if I see thrips on the other plants? Also, am I safe in assuming thrips aren’t really an issue for my carnivorous plants? TIA!

My Jacklyn isn’t doing too well and is constantly getting spider mites. Should I chop it down? Would it grow back?

Hi! Just wondering if anyone knows what could be happening to my golden pothos, it can’t be overwatering because honestly, most of the time I even forget to water it…. Could it be too much direct sunlight? I have it on a south facing window sill, it gets a lot of direct sunlight.

Hi Planta friends. I think this flamingo lily may be overwatered. It lives outside and has thrived all through the summer but now-not so much. Plants says it’s overwatered but we have a huge rain deficit rn so I’m not so sure. This weird powdery moldy stuff is on some of the backs of the leaves, this one shown being the worst. Anyone have any advice? TIA

I misted my peperomia plant today and notice tiny webbing. Would these be considered spider mites? I did find a tiny baby spider in my room yesterday so I'm not sure if these are spider mites. Needless to say my plants will be getting sprayed with neem oil or something now

This is my fig plant. What is causing the dark brown areas on the leaves? It’s been on my patio all summer & done great until now.

Hey everyone! First time plant mom here, and I am a little nervous about my stonecrop! I have noticed some wilting and possible rotting? No weird smells though. Any ideas on how to treat this or changes that could be made?

Anyone know why I have brown spots on my variegated plants? I have multiple plants with these brown spots. Light issue? My Thai Constellation just got a new leaf and before it even unfurled there was a brown spot.

My bonsai gardenia leaves got very brittle. I have bottom watered it to try to rehydrate, is there anything else I can do? Will those leaves revive or are they doomed? Can the plant survive?

My poor aloe vera turned completely brown a few weeks ago after being fed up with its cute flamingo holding rain water all the time. What would you do with this poor ugly little thing? I know they’re cheap, and easily replaceable, but I don’t know what I wanna do with it just yet. Should I cut it back? Toss it? Keep letting it be an eye sore amongst all of my other plants that bring me joy? Lol, stay tuned!
