This is my Chinese evergreen and he’s been thriving since I got him, lots of new shoots and even have a little baby on the way! However these yellow/ brown spots have been on him since I got him, are these a cause for concern? What could they be from?

Help! This is my jade plant (Stanley) and he is my pride and joy but recently he’s been getting these brown patches- are they just from direct sunlight/ damage/ or something even worse!!

Has anyone ever had this happen? I know it’s time for it to go to a new medium but terrified of the transition. It’s starting to brown and I know some of the roots are going to rot. Should I transition it to water or a soil mix? Thanks in advance.

Please help! My peace lily has been thriving the past few months and then suddenly it has done this. It’s very sad looking, it has had plenty of water & was repotted last week with well draining soil. Thanks in advance!

I have my elephant ear plant in leca that sits in water. I haven’t changed the water in 2 months (really busy with school +life). I just kept adding water to the bucket. Anywho my plant is doing fine. I’m changing the water and there is brown clumpy stuff in it. Like algae. What is this?

I'm new to alocasia and recently got this guy. It came with a small brown/yellow spot or two on two leaves. Then all of them started looking like this and crisping from the outside in. I repotted into chunkier soil and had to treat for thrips so I'm thinking these leaves might just be done for. Should I just chop them off and try to regrow it? Lol

Hello everyone! (Pictures of the orange pot are what she looked like before. Pictures of brown pot is what she looks like now.) I can use some advice with my philodendron. I recently got her a couple of weeks ago and she needed to be repotted badly. Her roots were lifting from under the soil and even breaking the plastic pot she was in. So I repotted her and I know you’re usually supposed to go 1-2inches bigger when repotting, but the pot I got for her was 3 inches bigger than her current one. I thought since maybe her roots were so crazy, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but ever since I repotted her, I’m kind of regretting that. I don’t really know what’s going on, but she’s been dropping leaves like crazy, and they’re all browning. If someone can help me understand what’s going on and what I can do to help her? Is she in shock? Do I size down or would that make things worse? She’s such a beautiful plant 🙏

SOS, my neighbors left this on the porch and didn’t want it anymore… Is it too late to save? Are these pests? The Internet is not helping me, but I repotted it and it looks greener already and I don’t know if this is only sun damage or if it’s some kind of bug, but I don’t wanna put it next to my healthy plants if so! Thank you for your help in advance 💫🤧

Why does the inside of my nerogelia look like this. It use to grow new leaves from here then a flower died inside, I took the dead flower out and now just a bunch of crust remains.

I have several plants that have this coating on the top layer of dirt. I assume it’s mold? But it’s only in a few plants, not all of them. How do I get rid of this?

Not having a great day at all. Found “white stuff” last night that I thought would be the webbing with spider mites. Put my Monstera in the shower (like I’d read to do), remembered I had not taken a photo, so snapped a couple and gave her an aggressive shower. Some time since then, it occurred to me that what I saw didn’t really look like photos I’d seen. What I’d seen online was a fine web, usually reaching from one area to another. On my plant it was more like “globs” of white here and there. Very three dimensional-like they (the white areas) had height to them. This probably won’t make sense, but it was like the difference of mite webbing being like a dusting of snow and what what on my plant was more like scattered snowballs. I don’t know-I’m generally just freaking out. One of the leaves down low today was droopy and mottled yellow, but I did beat it up kind of bad with the shower head, plus I’d just watered the plant within the past couple days and then heavily watered during the shower last night. Also want to mention that there wasn’t anything last night down between the stems or petioles-just on the leaves and upper part of the petioles🤷‍♀️. Please help me out with any knowledge you have. I would be so appreciative. My head is ready to explode-haven’t had any kind of pests before. The last photo looks like much more than it was-my hands were kind of shaky. Thanks for any help

Help with my dieffenbachia! Leaves are dull aside from the new growth, placed in brighter light to see if itd help and used diluted peroxide (today) to fend off a few gnats Ive seen + any potential root rot/fungus. What else can I do to make it happy? Ive tried letting the soil dry more and watered well last night!
