Help! Am I overwatering my thyme seedlings? A couple of my thyme seedlings are getting brown and bendy stems just after sprouting. I have a grow light just overhead, a mini fan circulating air regularly, and have been watering only from the bottom drip tray every time that the water in it disappears (I have been assuming the plant is drinking it up). Two of my seedlings appear quite well but I have noticed little brown spots on one and bendy stems on that and one other. Please help! Also, when should I first fertilize as well as transfer these plants and how do I transfer them? Thank you!

Hello! My name is Cindy, I’m a bit newer to growing plants and my first is a mango tree. It’s only a week or so old, and it’s grown to about six or seven inches now. But it won’t grow upwards, all of its energy is going into one specific leaf which is now as long as the stem. Google tells me to trim it, but I don’t want to accidentally kill the plant.
The picture I provided is from two days ago, that longer leaf is now as long as the stem and a dark green.

My hurricane birds nest fern has had some of the bottom leaves turning yellow and dying. I didn’t think too much of it until the new leaf sprouts started turning brown at the tip of the leaves. Any thoughts on what could be wrong?

My Jelly bean succulent keeps on losing leaves and it’s becoming discolored. Any advice? I am lowering the frequency in which I water it and moved it to a sunnier spot, but it hasn’t helped.

Root rot
I have a Christmas cactus that got root rot on one of the sections and I am worried that the other part has it, does it look like it has it? And if it does how can I get rid of it?

Did I kill it or is there any hope?
It was a 3’ Madagascar palm… my grandpa moved to a nursing home and I ended up with his plants, I was doing pretty well… but then I didn’t check for a few days and noticed today he had fallen against the wall and this is why…

Having some issues with cactus not sure what’s type of cactus this is but think it might be some type of prickly pear miniature? But over the past year has been developing brown spots on leaves thought maybe it has some type of fungus thinking maybe I should treat it with copper fungicide but not sure?

I truly cannot seem to keep this syngonium happy. Idk what happened but it just started declining and I can't get it to stop!! I've chopped and restarted and put it in a mini greenhouse to try to up humidity and give it a new chance. ANY recommendations or advice??😩You can see how much it's wilted in the last few months...it's pretty drastic!

I just replanted this basil from the grocery store about three weeks ago and am getting discolored leaves. Anyone have any ideas what this is or how to fix it?

Hello, some of my plants leaves are washing out and turning pale. What could cause this to happen? At first I thought I was fertilizing too frequently so I stopped for a while but it seems to be getting worse. I'm wondering if my grow lights are too strong or too close now.

I got this umbrella tree about a month go and it’s roots were growing through the plastic pots holes so I repotted on February 2nd. Over the past 3 days it’s dropped 5 entire stalks(leaves? Like the whole umbrella, not just one leaf). I follow the watering schedule on planta and let it get fairly dry. Some other posts I read suggested root rot but they seem healthy to me. Should I go back to the smaller plastic pot it came in? There is some new growth so it’s definitely still partially happy. I’m a new plant owner so I’m not really sure what to do next

Hi, I recently bought tissue culture from Orange Lake (about a month ago). I have a Thai Con Monstera and a Red Anderson Philodendron. They are planted starter plugs in 2in pots then I filled the remaining space with a mixture of Soil/Sphagnum Moss. I am maybe 2-3 weeks into the acclimation process and used an airtight clear container to maintain 100% humidity for about a week and a half before slowly exposing to air. They have been doing great and both even given me a new leaf. But while they were out I noticed that the tips seem to be a bit brown :( They still haven’t had exposure to sunlight and are about 7 inches from my grow light bar which stays on all day for the most part. I am wondering what could be the cause of this, how to fix it, and if this will seriously harm my plant. I tried to look up what I may have done wrong and I think 1. I may have been overwatering and 2. I did not know I should not be using fertilizer and am worried I ruined the roots. I used a very diluted mix but I still feel bad. In the future I would keep them in high humidity longer without messing with them, and use different media as someone recommended fluvial stratum.

What would you say this is? Its from a very small Chinese money plant. I don't think its from overwatering. Colder temps is the only thing I can think of. We just had a change from 70s in the day to 50s, getting down to 40s or high 30s at night. It is right by a window. It has lived thru this cold or colder before tho, so is it just the sudden change?

i have two pothos who have been beautiful and perfect for almost a year now, i’ve taken care of them identically. i perhaps waited a bit too long between my last watering, but nothing crazy. i watered them & gave plant food 2 days ago. one on the right perked right up, one on the left still super droopy. i went in & plucked any yellow / dead leaves and am not sure where to go from here. let it sit & see what happens? more or less water? this is where i always get stuck & dig myself a hole with plants! any advice is very appreciated
