Hello! Anyone have ideas on why my monstera recently developed these black spots on just one of the main leaves? Overall the plant is doing well & i inspected for pests but didn’t find any. I let her dry out between watering & she’s been in the same spot for a year & a half so lighting hasn’t changed. Thanks in advance!!

Bought this zebra plant last weekend and it’s already looking really sad and droopy! Does anyone know if this is due to over or under watering?? 🪴🌸

I’ve recently moved house and in the messiness of life, some of my plants have paid the price. My tradescantia nanouk is one of these. It was left in a dark space near a radiator (I know 🤦🏻) and lost all its colour and started to go crispy. I’ve repositioned it in the loft room under a skylight, hoping that the light will be better - it’s been a few weeks and it’s looking a bit healthier but the colour hasn’t returned on new leaves. Any advice on how I can help it recover? Or should I trim it back to the coloured bits and start again?

Hey guys I watered this dragon fruit cactus two weeks ago and it instantly got brown limp and mushy. I got it semi-abused so to speak but I’ve given it dryyyyyy soil and bright sun and it just keeps declining. It might look okay but it’s mushy, brown, stems breaking and leaking water and they won’t stay up straight. Help!

I need help with my ZZ! Over the past 4-5 months I’ve lost many of her smaller stems. I water every 3-4 weeks and she gets lots of light through a west facing bathroom window. I repotted from an 8 to a 10 inch pot a couple month ago because I thought she was too cramped. Roots looked good to me. Now another stem just turned yellow and I see yellowing starting on leaves on even another stem. BUT there is new growth for the first time in forever (3 new stems coming). What’s happening?? Also- what’s the best way to remove the stem once the leaves fall?

Hey planty peeps! Kinda new to this app and I tried out the dr program on here but I’m just curious if this app will remind me to check on my rehab plants or how I should go about making sure I remember everything I’ve done with the plant?

Ugh! My corn plant has some kind of pest. I do not see anything moving, all of the tips are brown, there’s white eggs everywhere but I don’t see anything. I’m not sure if they’re spider mites or gnat eggs. Please help!

I’m fighting the second battle in a protracted war with orange aphids. They appeared again at three weeks. I used insecticidal soap after knocking most of them off with a garden hose the first time. I used ant spray this time paying attention to applying it under the leaves where some were hiding. This is the only plant with aphids. This Hoya Multiflora lives up to its name by continually putting out flowers. There are several peduncles in bloom. New growth is very attractive to aphids.

Hi everyone! Can anyone help me with my Philodendron ‘Green Emerald’? I brought her from Montana and was green and full of leaves (6 months ago). She use to get filtered sunlight in my home (about 4 hours a day and in window) but was starting to get yellow leaves. I moved her under a grow light (12 hours a day) but just kept getting worse. I watered with hydrogen peroxide to make sure the roots aren’t rotting. But I’m not sure what else to do. Any thoughts? Thanks!

My satin pothos’ leaves are turning yellow, curling, and dropping. Her vines have grown super long but no new leaves. Worried about her, and she’s over two years old. I repotted her last month, has drainage, not sure what kind of sun she needs, I’ve read a lot of mixed sunlight recs, some say shady others say their pothos love direct sunlight. Please help me!!! xoxo Katie

Hi! I’m new to this app, looking for other houseplant nerds like me, but ones who actually know what they’re doing haha. I have had this monstera fern for over four years now, she used to grow fast, healthy, new leaves, but now she has stopped any new growth and has started to yellow and brown at tips. I’ve had to cut off several completely yellow leaves too. I repotted her over the past month to a larger ceramic pot with drainage, she had no root rot when I repotted but I was surprised by the small size of the root mass (for four years I was thinking it’d be a lot larger). I have her facing an east window, but I’m worried this is too much sun. Please Let me know what I can do to save her and help her, she’s my baby. My best friend in highschool gave her to me so she’s very important😭🌱🩷 Thank you soooo much!!! xoxo Katie

Hi guys!! I have a lipstick plant that was doing really well, but I noticed that the new leaves growing on them have these really weird yellow spots on them. It's not on any of the older leaves - just the new ones! I was scared it might be thrips or other pests but I did multiple, very thorough checks and there are no pests anywhere, including on my other plants. I switched to bottom watering recently because I wondered if maybe it was being underwatered? Otherwise I have no clue what to do about this or if it means the plant is unhappy :( any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have this beautiful raindrop peperomia that has grown so much since I got it last April. Recently it’s been pretty moody. The leaves are going soft and growth has stopped. I repotted it and moved it to a brighter location, and it went back to normal for a week or so. Now leaves are getting soft again, and I’m not sure what the issue is. Please help this is one of my fav plant babies!!!

PLEASE HELP! My string of dolphins has had leaves and some branches starting to dry and rot. The app hadn’t marked it yet for watering, but since the soil was so dry, I decided to water it, it’s now been three days and not looking much better. I’m afraid if it’s root rot somehow, or if I just need to give it more time to recover from a drought. Any insight or advice on which may be the case would be greatly appreciated!!
