My plant is growing mold!! What can I do to fix it?? I put cinnamon on it, what else can I do? It’s a chocolate queen plant.

Hi Everyone....newer plant dad here. I have had this Peace Lily since July 2025. It has been doing fairly well and still producing blooms. I repotted a few days ago after it was definitely needed and have been keeping an eye on it. It does respond to watering and I have been fairly consistent on that process, as well as taking care of it. I have always been concerned about the way the leaves are....almost folded in half on some of them. This has been going on since I had the plant. I thought it may be the light???? I think it gets enough light from my east facing window, even on the cloudiest days (today is a cloudy day). This plant is placed about 3 feet away from the window. I'm always worried about getting too close to the window as the Sunlight does come in it at different times of the year. I have had a couple of different plants get scorched tips in the past. I am open to any helpful tips at all to keep this plant healthy.

Put this ponytail palm in a super low light corner and it hated it. Almost all the strands are turning brown. Any ideas for how to rehab it and get the leaves looking nice again once I put it in a lighter corner?

I’m having a bit of a fungus gnat situation in my room, and I’ve got about 20 plants, like cacti and African violets. I was wondering if anyone could share their tips on using neem oil or other chemicals to get rid of them? I’ve heard there’s a larvicide you can use to water the plants. I’m really trying to get rid of them, but unfortunately, they’ve always been a problem with my peace lily 😭

Hello!! I’m struggling with my manjula pothos where there is brown spots all over the leaves to a new discoloration on the leaves with yellow spots. I don’t know what to do exactly for there is so much going on and I want to save my plant:( I am not sure if there is a bacterial or fungus infection in the soil that is causing the yellowing or if I’m under watering to cause the brown spots… I’m at a loss. Here are some photos for reference!

Hey guys I’m in a predicament here. Should I cut her back on the hanging stems and prop? Or what’s the best way for it to climb? Give me ideas please It has great growth at the top that’s climbing but the bottom hanging stems are just giving runners and no fenestrations

Hello, I got two hibiscus last year around the same time (maybe a month or two apart) this summer. They seemed to be doing well (lots of new leaves and nice glossy leaves) but now that the seasons are changing I’ve noticed they aren’t as happy. They are near a vent but in the summer when cool air would have been blowing on them they were okay so I figured warm air would be too. My bigger one has been getting yellow leaves left and right and is super droopy and sad, the smaller one isn’t as bad but is still not at its peak (the smaller one is closer to the vent and only a little higher, although as far as I can tell they are both getting the same amount of sun) Ive never gotten flowers from either but I figured that was just because they are inside and my room is pretty cold, however now that it’s warming up they seem to be doing worse. The picture is of the worse of the two but my camera can’t seem to pick up it’s droopiness I guess lol

Does anybody know how to heal plants up that are half frozen? How should I nurse my avocados back to health?

Planta says this is mealy bugs but I also learned it could be mineral deposits. She was under watered for a while. What do you all think? Thanks!

I think the roots are rotting. I gave it too much water without knowing I wasn’t suppose to, and there’s a lot of little fruit fly looking bugs around it. The leaves have been falling and it was drooping. My mom kinda buried it in the soil so it wouldn’t droop anymore. Can I fix it? What should I do?

What is happening here? This is the third plant I have thrown out. I have been spraying with Arber, watering with rain water. It’s hanging on the lani plenty of Florida humidity. Please help!

Help! I re-potted a coworkers jade. One of the jade shoots had a small amount of root rot- all the other roots were healthy. I looked okay for about 3 days and then over the 4 days in the office with no light it looks like this. How can I save her??

Hello My pothos is looking this way. Kinda droopy leaves. I added more water. I have them a little further away from the light. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello It seems like my Monstera Adansonii is struggling. It has been this way since I got it. Anyone know what I can do to avoid the brown leaves? Anything else I should be doing so it grows bigger and fuller? I live in Missouri so it's not as humid at the moment.

Does anyone have suggestions for all natural fungus gnat repellents? I’m very used a pest spray with peppermint oil and food grade diatomaceous earth powder. They both work for a bit, but then I notice them flying around within a day or two.

Anyone with insight into the brown spot on my mom’s thai? it’s, soft, not crispy. We found 2 thais for sale at the grocery store- mine is growing (that said, i have it right on the window sill) but her’s isn’t and recently developed this spot.

What's wrong with my Coleus? The base of the stem started yellowing a few days ago and is slowly spreading across the plant, also the leaves have been turning crispy and then they fall off.

Hey hey! I’d love some pink princess lovers to help me get to the bottom of what my plant is trying to tell me. It appears to me that her leaves are a little faded, possibly sun burnt from keeping her on my east-facing window all summer? She also has dry spots all over her leaves, which based on past experience with other philodendrons, suggests that she needs more moisture. She’s currently under a grow light with a humidifier a foot away. Anything else I’m missing, or any conflicting insights from yalls experience?

What’s wrong with my orchid?
