What is the best way to detangle a silver inch nerve plant? The way mine looks now after repotting it is driving me insane.

Iâm totally beginner at this gardening thing and every google page has different advice. I built in ground garden beds / raised garden bed hybrid and planted two pepper plants and one butter crunch lettuce. The peppers are going great - lettuce not so much. I planted them all from starters from Home Depot. Itâs been about 8 weeks since planting and the lettuce leaves kept getting yellow on the bottom and the lettuce head looked pretty full? so I just harvested the whole head. Now Iâm worried it was too soon to harvest and Iâve killed it. Any advice?

My plant Florest Kalanchoe doesnât look ok. Some of the leaves are drying out. I water it every two weeks with tap water and place it away from direct sunlight like in the middle of my living room but after doing some research, it seems that it should be placed next to a window. Is it going to burn?

I am assuming this is moldâŠ. The plant seems to be fine for the most part due to blooming for the third or fourth time this seasonâŠ. I know I need to repot asap but would you guys suggest a bigger pot? a smaller pot? Is it too tall of a pot? Any suggestions will be most welcome. Thanks!

Does anyone know why Fernâs leave are turning pale like this? Itâs like itâs only one stem at a time, and not the entire plant at once. I recently repotted him, even though itâs still winter, because his pot was too tall and I worried about root rot. Heâs by an eastern facing window, and has rocks in the bottom of his pot since this one doesnât have drainage holes and it was the best size I had for him until I can get a new pot I really donât want him to die, and Iâm worried whatever the problem is, itâs slowly killing him I used a different app that diagnosed him with an abiotic problem, but none of the ones I saw seemed quite right. The leaves would all turn pale together, not just one at a time. So I donât know if thatâs true or not

My snake plant that I rescued 3 years ago randomly started wilting in January. It has been perfectly happy up until now and nothing about its care has changed. I thought maybe I was overwatering and left it alone for a while which didnât help but watering didnât help either. Is it possible that itâs wilting because it needs a bigger pot? Thats the only thing I can think of

Hey yâall! Iâm a relatively new plant parent and I just got this montesara 2 weeks ago. Heâs been doing fine for the most part- has new leaf growth and seems to like the spot Iâve put him in. Iâve included some photos for context overall But Iâm reaching out because I noticed this leaf in with the yellowing spot a few days ago and wasnât sure what the problem is. Is this an infection, under/overwatering? The current pot itâs in has no drainage (the previous owners gave him to me in this and I havenât reported into pot with drainage, so that could be the problem for sure)

I bought this plant from Logees about 2 months ago. It arrived healthy and I followed the instructions to replant it in 1:1 sphagnum to perlite soil. A few weeks after repotting it began to show the symptoms shown in the attached pictures. It gets low intensity direct light from led grow lights on a 12 hour timer. I know the red leaves indicate it's still too much light so I will probably move it out from directly under the light. I am not overly concerned with the red leaves. I water with RO water when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry. The room it's in is pretty cold averaging around 60F. Before it started showing symptoms I had a minor case of fungus gnats that I treated with sticky paper and a soil treatment of mosquito bits. I haven't had any more problems with the gnats but not sure if the bt caused any harm to the plant. I've tried to treat the plant after showing symptoms by first adding sulfur to lower the ph which currently sits at around 6.8. I know the sulfur will take a few months to make a noticeable change to the pH so I also added a small amount of aluminum sulfate a few days later. Then, I added a slow release, 5-5-5 organic fertilizer to the soil. I chose to use organic because I read that the plant does not take well to high salt levels. A fungus showed up a few days after adding the fertilizer (see images). A week or so later I applied a foliar iron spray to address chlorosis. I have given it a few treatments with neem oil because I thought it may be leaf spot or similar. I havent continued with the neem oil treatment. I admit that I am just throwing solutions at the plant because I don't exactly know what is wrong with it, so any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone! I got this pothos a few months back and just noticed this on a couple of pieces. Is this scale? Or is this damage? This piece is on top of my aquarium at the moment, but I do also have tons of pothos on there as well. Can this cause problems in the tank!?

To all ZZ parents: Iâve had my ZZ for longer than I can remember and it was pushing out a lot of new growth recently. However, all the new stems have 2-4 leaves MAXIMUM. When I see other ZZs, they all have like 10+ leaves per stem! What have I been doing wrong? I repotted it just yesterday also because it was very root-bound so hopefully that might help.

Best solution for spider mites and fungus gnats? Havenât had to deal with any other pests yet, but canât seem to get rid of spider mites completely. They always make a comeback.

I live with my Mom and recently the responsibility of looking after the garden was handed over to me. Of course, as soon as I looked at the plants almost all of them are diseased or showing signs of other problems. Iâve attached photos of the problems and I was wondering if anyone has any idea what the problems are and how I can fix them (preferably with things I have in the house). In order, the plants are a sage, a red robin, a rosemary, a lavender and a mugwort if that helps.
