Does anyone know how to help my Philodendron? I make sure it’s not overwatered, but it looks pale and wilted.

Why do the underside of some of my monstera leaves look like this?

Tried removing the rot as best as I could which was unfortunately basically all the roots… I also did a hydrogen peroxide treatment as was suggested to me but I’m wondering if I should be using root hormone or something? I’m probably going to cut the dead leaves shown in the picture, I’m just worried about the plant going into shock and making the other leaves die too :(

Hello, all! I have a Jade plant I gave a haircut to a while back. All the new growth is fine but my older leaves are looking like this. I haven’t sprayed it with anything for the leaves to burn, so I’m not sure what’s causing these spots. Any ideas and suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi all Does anyone else suffer with plants being distressed ( underwatered or overwatered) in winter despite following Plants guidance? I have two rubber plants, monkey mask, prayer plant and couple others I just can get right at the moment. Some have yellow bottom leaves but pushing new growth whilst others drying leaves eventually going yellow as well. I’ve had plants for 5 years now and seem to wobble in winter for some reason where I can’t get it right. I love my plants and just agonise over loosing any, just wonder if anyone else struggles in winter with plant care 😁

Hi! I had to transport my plants yesterday, so they were in the car for 2 hours before I got home. When I got home everything seems absolutely fine but I noticed a few hours later that two of the leaves on my monstera went to “mush.” Any guesses on what may have happened and/or suggestions on how to fix it (or are those two leaves goners)?

Hallo! Guten Morgen allerseits, I really need a second and third opinion on my Pothos, Bradley. I am of the opinion I have accidentally given Bradley Nitrogen burn. I’m not entirely certain as the physical symptoms as seen below is only close to the top of the vine but nothing on the bottom. I must be certain before repotting him in all this cockamamie weather! This Texan is disgusted with all the frozen precipitation littering the ground. I appreciate any and all advice. Scheiß auf ICE! -Salem

Hi! Does anyone know why parts of my aloe have started bending? A few are also so long they’re touching my table. Is this okay or do I need to support it somehow? Thanks!

My sister in law knows I’m good with plants, but I’m not sure where to start with these ones. Both of these are dry but still green. The stems are dry, practically dead. If you have any advice please help!!

Hello!! I just picked up this sedum Lineare Carpet, I think its other name is lemon ball, on clearance. I wanted to know what’s the best plan of action to help this big guy. He doesn’t have any bugs or anything, but just lots of brown bits in the middle where sun doesn’t reach.

I have a few different syngoniums but I recently got this variegated one. It’s super sad and keeps dropping leaves and I’m not sure why. Am I overwatering it? Does it need more sun? Or does it need something since it’s variegated? The roots look great, no pests, and I used a special mix for soil so I’m not worried about that. The leaves turn yellow and drop off. Pic on the left is when I first repotted it and right one is today

This is my fig tree. I watered it yesterday, cause it was time and it looked fine. Now it looks droopy? I gave it some more water (is that ok? The soil was super dry) a couple minutes ago. It’s gonna be a potted fig tree due to where we live being super cold. Is the droopyness from under watering or could it be something else? I’ve never seen this tree be this droopy before. Also- apparently fig trees smell mildly like cat pee when indoors, and a couple months ago my cats were using it as their second litter box. There’s tin foil around it now to stop them from accessing it and it never showed any signs of being sick, so I think it’s ok? But can that do any lasting damage I should be aware of? It’s a very important tree.

So I got these 4 peperomia plants about 4 days ago now in the mail. Well I’m in wayyyy northern Michigan -30 degrees outside so I knew I had a chance of them arriving messed up. I watered them immediately with Luke warm water cuz they were dry. 3 of them are perking up a bit but one is looking rough. Anyone know what I should do to help them? I heard to trim off all bad leaves and others I heard to leave it completely alone for a week to a few weeks. I want to repot them and water with fertilizer but I need advice they are looking rough.

Help! My Swiss cheese plant, Remy, has been doing great for a while, putting out lots of new leaves and growing fast. But when I moved her back to my dorm after break, I noticed lines of dry brown spots on her lower leaves. Over the last week they have spread - some are turning yellow at the edge of the brown spot and more spots have appeared on all the leaves, even the newest one. Repotted ~2 weeks ago to add a bit more soil. Anyone have an idea of the issue/ways to help her out?

Is it possible to save these, or are they gone? All three are droopy.

My plant isn’t doing well. I know nothing about plants and am terrible at keeping them but I have had this one for a while. I’m not sure if it needs repotting as I have never changed its pot since buying. Can anyone help find out what it needs.
