Good morning anyone know what these spots are on my cantaloupe and watermelon plants. Google says gummy stem blight but I’m unsure if this is something that I can treat. My plants are currently separated in containers. Is there something that I can do to treat this???

New plant mom here! I bought a bamboo plant about a week ago that needed some luv.. it was very dry when I grabbed it and now a week later it’s starting to yellow at the top and don’t know how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 😊

Does any know what this yellow substance is? I found it in my lemon lime plant and my succulent. I’ve never seen this before.

Hi 🌱 Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of little flies? I’ve tried a soil spray which helped for a little bit but they’ve come back and I don’t want to keep using that spray continuously because I don’t know how it’ll effect my plants roots and soil. Any other ideas? Thankyou so much 🩵

Does anyone know why my weeping fig is shedding so many leaves? I know it’s meant to “weep” but how much weeping is enough?

Has anyone got any tips for caring for a Venus fly trap? When i bought this, all the choose wasn’t great due to most of the leaves already being dead - i didn’t realise they die once they are touched!?

Just rescued these two plants not sure the names of them. They had no pot. I also just pruned the dead leaves off. Oh and I got them from the store.

Can I save this Aloe Vera? My sister recently slashed each growth and emptied them, however some of them have healed and are filled with gel again. Would it be better to propagate a new plant or save this one?

Hello, last week I found this plant in the trash, and the water was pretty dirty so I changed the water and that’s everything that I did, I don’t know if I should move it to a pot because of all the roots that it has already and I can see that is not growing anymore, any recommendations on what to do?

I broke what I now know is a plant cardinal sin a couple weeks ago :( Repotted all of these with a layer of pebbles at the bottom and I don't know what to do. (All pots have drainage holes but they definitely don't work as well as they should due to the rocks) The plants seem to be doing great but I want to catch it before it becomes an issue. Any advice? Should the plants out and remove the pebbles? Wait until the plants have established more of a root system? Or just let it be? Help!

Hi! I’ve got Angel Wings plant and it was doing pretty well. I was following the Planta’s watering schedule and it was growing new leaves. Now I’ve watered it with fertilizer for the first time and it got so much worse, it looks like it’s dying. Please help, what should I do to keep it alive?
