One money tree dying I have a money tree with the stems all twisted together. The one in the back I think hasn’t gotten enough sunlight and is dying. What should I do? All the leaves died and fell off.

Hi all! So my Florida green philo has been super healthy up until this leaf and I can’t tell what the problem is….i switched this plant to semi hydro with leca about two weeks ago and it’s putting out new growth that all looks healthy too, any idea?

Thoughts on what the heck is happening to my beautiful flower? It’s a Anthurium andraeanum that I got back in March with only 1 flower and has grown so big ❤️ but now she has 2 orange-ing flowers and 2 lovely pink ones.

Does anyone know why this is happening? This picture specifically is a pothos pearl and jade, but this is happening to my other pothos and one of my syngoniums as well 😢

I got this plant ( a monstera monkey leaf) a couple months ago and have since moved to a new place and I think with all the moving I accidentally neglected her a little but now I’m settled I would really appreciate some advice on how to get her back to being healthy 💚 I’m pretty new to plants so I’m not too sure what is wrong with her but I would love to learn more on how to fix her up 😊

Why does my banana tree have white spots

Chlo & Lex

Hello!! Very new to caladiums and looking for any tips to keep her strong and healthy! I know that she like lots of bright indirect light, and moist but not soggy soil, and she likes humidity. Other than that I’m lost. I’m also not sure if it’s okay for her to be droopy like that or if that means she’s sick? Overall I want her to live and thrive lol

Should I cut the little plant at the bottom? Would it help the main plant? (And repot or gift the little cutting).

why did nobody tell me about diatomaceous earth sooner? this stuff is a live saver. i’ve tried multiple methods for pest prevention or solution (including neem oil) and this has been the best thing by far.

Hi all! This is the only plant of mine that has this really weird silver mold, I’ve never seen it before. I’ve tried neem oil like I do on any other plants that develop that weird yellow mold and the yellow mold always goes away, but this silver mold will not go away! 🥲 Any thoughts on how to treat it, or should I just perhaps repot it with newer better soil?

I repotted my snake plant a couple of weeks ago. Today I noticed some dried up leaves at the base. Is this normal, or did I cause lasting damage to the plant?

I feel like my Boston fern isn’t as green and spunky as he was when I first purchased. Based off his appearance, any experienced plant parents know what might be going on?

My adansonii is pushing out new leaves constantly but so many of the tips are brown. What does this mean?

Good day! How do you defeat the dreaded squash vine borers? This is the 3rd year in a row they’ve eaten my squash zucchini and cucumbers from the inside out!

I’ve noticed small black gnats the last 2 or 3 days, specifically around my Sage babies (haven’t directly seen them in any other pots). This is a fully indoor set up as I’ve just started learning how to grow herbs from seed this summer, so I’m not sure how the gnats got in or if they developed from overly wet soil. 😣 I tried the apple cider vinegar with a bit of dish soap that I read from another post in here. Wondering if this is the best approach for now or if I should try something else? For context these sage babies were planted from seed on July 9th, so they are doing well but still very young! So I want to handle with extra care 👍🏻 thank you!
