I just got a Pepperomia pepperface but I noticed one of its leaves are sort of curving… Is this curving due to the lack of light? or lack of humidity? (or anything else) I live in a mild/cold, dry climate with low-medium direct sunlight (right now the plant is getting its light from the reflection of light off another building next to its window).

hey all! just got this begonia maculata and it is not doing great.... i've been keeping soil moist and bright light (in a window without direct sun), but the leaves are slowly turning crispy, not brown. At first they wilted a lottttt and then turned crispy. I spray water on my plants sometimes so maybe?? need help!

What’s up with my money tree? Is this mold? Is it harmful? Did I water too much? How do I remediate? The rest of the plant looks healthy and has new growth.

Anyone have any ways to keep squirrels out of plants or deter them from coming around? Currently being terrorized over here. He’s digging up my potted plants to bury his nuts. He will even square up to me when I try to shoo him away. (I don’t want to say I’m scared of him, but I’m kinda scared of him)

Heeeellllppppp What are these!!!!! I thought it was mold so I scooped it off. It came back quickly. It looks like eggs to me but I’ve looked VERY hard for pests and spotted none

This guy hasn't been enjoying my new apartment. Any recommendations on what to do? Some parts seem salvage buy some of the leaves are in pretty rough shape. Can these be saved? Or should I save what I can.

Help I’m struggling with my peperomia :( I think I may have under watered it and the leaves yellowed. For the last few weeks I’ve tried watering more consistently but all the leaves and new shoots are dropping. Last time I watered there were little jumping bugs so I treated the soil with 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 4 parts water. Don’t know if that was the issue, but I’m panicking!

Any reason why my ivy plant has suddenly gone… flop? I just got it a week ago and tried to keep it in the same conditions it was sorta overwatered but now it’s going crunchy. I’ve only had one other ivy and it sadly died due to a bug attack 😞 when I got the ivy I checked for bugs this time but do I need to give it more water? Less sun?

I cannot figure out what’s wrong with my Hoya. I got it about 7-8 months ago. The pink princess I got with it is very happy and thriving and this guy was in the same light on the same watering/fertilizing schedule but has had zero growth that I can see.
