Hello! I live in the north east, and I have a fig tree. It hasn’t been below freezing in a couple weeks, and has actually been around more warm, so we put it outside for the first time in a couple months. However recently, it’s been more wilty? It’s a rather large pot with drainage, so when I see this I usually put a bottle of water. But it still lost a couple leaves, and a couple more turned a little yellow. Update: Ok so it is cold burn, I wasn’t aware fruiting trees don’t like to be under 60. Also, I’ve been watering it too much, and that’s why it’s been wilted lately. So I’m not going to water it for a week or two and see what happens. ALSO there’s centipedes in the soil. So I can’t bring it back in to avoid cold burn. However, I’m going to cover it with plastic wrap to try and keep the rain out and hopefully dry the soil out and get rid of the centipedes so I can bring it back in until May. Do you have any suggestions on what to do to give it its best shot? Please and Thank you!

Poor monster has had it rough. First, it was drowned for many days in a pot filled to brim with water. It also might have scale or spider mites or some other such critters. Carelessly I placed it in near an ac vent, so it went from high humidity and heat to dry AC air. Also attached are pictures of a pothos, the damage to it coincides with the arrival of this sick bedraggled monstera right next to it. What do you recommend, my friends?
:( Any ideas as to what’s wrong with my monstera? I’m thinking it’s underwatered but I would like someone else’s opinion
How do I heal this brown spot on my carnivorous plant?
so i got this dragon scale alocasia in the beginning of january and i repotted it in semi-hydro with lecca balls and since then it has grown a new leaf and two flowers. it started yellowing on its leaves probably three weeks ago and i am just trying to figure out WHY the leaves are yellowing.

Hello everybody, this is my wonderful monstera. But today I was watering it and discovered this weird type of fungus in the soil. I immediately stopped watering it and it actually looks like tiny mushrooms. Any suggestions on how to help the monstera and get rid of the mould?
Hi plant friends 🌿 I’m looking for some advice about my Watermelon Peperomia. I’ve recently noticed brown spots forming on some of the leaves. It’s still pushing new growth, but I’m worried something might be wrong. I keep it in bright indirect light and water when the soil feels dry. Has anyone seen this before or know what might be causing it? Any tips would be appreciated!
Went away for the weekend and came back to this in some of my plants but not others. I’m assuming it’s mineral buildup, but I use the exact same filtered (not purified) water for all my plants and it’s not the area because all of my plants are in my bedroom and some don’t have this. I thought it could be pests because most of the ones it’s happening to are near each other but I did that alcohol test thing and they didn’t turn yellow (unless I did it wrong) and one of my plants (pink pot) is far from the others and the plants near that one don’t have it. Help!
Please help! I’ve had this mini monstera for a while now and one day when it got cold I wasn’t able to bring it in until later on. It dropped all its leaves and has now just been bare for weeks yet has green nodes. I’ve kept it inside to recover but it won’t budge. I’ve been watering like normal and even tried using growth hormone but nothing is happening :( Is it a lost cause or is it possible to regrow?
Went to take a progress pick of my Kangaroo Paw plant and noticed this? Seems like a little green fuzzy patch ? Does anyone know what this is or if it’s a problem?
Is this dead? I know this might be an obvious answer but I really have hope. This was a hibiscus and it had a really bad pest problem so i cut everything back and i tried researching to make sure I was doing it right. There was some green growth but i left for a 2 week vacation and it looked like this. Ive been trying to water and give it light as much as i can but i dont know if its worth the effort..
Is this grow light burn?
I picked this sad ring of fire philodendron up at Lowe's today. First time with one, any tips to save it? It's in a self watering pot. I put it in my west window for now.
I started propagating this clipping of a Chinese money plant last year and this is how it is looking now? Is there a way to fix this? it looks like it’s dying.
White spots taking over my shamrock clover plant?

Not sure what happened to my pink dragon alocasia.. grew her from corm! Went on vacation and came back to this :( didn’t change water or light levels.
