Hi guys I’m pretty new to this app! We recently moved and the previous owner left a few of her plants one of them being a Christmas cactus. She did take many cuttings off of it and when we moved in it wasn’t doing so well. More recently the leaves have been getting covered in a waxy layer then slowly dying leaving like a crispy wax shell. I’m not sure what it is but I figured k would reach out seeing as google doesn’t have many results. Here are a few photos:

Need help/suggestions… I am not sure of the problem with my white bird of paradise plant but there are multiple leaves with crunchy hard solid white areas. Has anyone seen this before? TIA!

I’ve made a post about this some time ago and my plant still hasn’t gotten better. the leaves are slowly dying but the plant made babies? I’m not sure how to take care of them so they don’t die too. please help 🙏

Can anyone advise??? My mum bought em this for Mother’s Day. Since it’s come home Its developed yellow tips and splayed it a bit more. Any suggestions? Should I repot as I feel the pot is rather small. I’ve only just moved it to a window in the kitchen where it gets warmer and more humid so it couldn’t be down to too much sunlight!

Hey guys! I need help! My ginseng ficus, bonsai tree (I think that’s what it is) is dying, there is a before and after photo. The leaves were dusty so I rinsed them under some soft water and then the leaves started all turning brown shortly after. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it back to healthy? I’m so sad.

I’ve had some problems with one of my Lilly’s and this app told me to remove it and trim the roots. I’ve taken Lilly out today to see what the score is with the roots and I was expecting to see a ton of roots but this is all that’s there. I don’t actually think it’s dead but what do you think? There’s like 4 roots there

I cannot win for losing with my fuchsia! I’m at a total lose! The second pot was for reporting her once she was adjusted to my home, but she has never adjusted! I’m paranoid I’m over watering her, but she perks up every time I water her which is weekly, so IDK?!? Every guide I read says don’t water fuchsias this often, but I see a positive reaction when I do, but every week she seems to get worse! Do they always perk up right after getting water even if they’re being overwatered?! Her leaves feel dry and brittle, and they aren’t yellowing, they’re just dying! What am I doing wrong?! Yes, I’m still fairly new to plant care. My mom has a brown thumb so we never kept plants, but all the plants I care for EXCEPT this one are doing great as far as I can tell. Lots of flowering, getting bigger by the day, and then this one just looks so sad! I’m just lost and it’s breaking my heart to see her looking so sad!

A little less than a year ago I snipped off the top of my Ficus Audrey to promote branching and I now have two new branches with lots of very healthy leaves! However… I am noticing that the branches are very thin near where I initially cut from. I am worries that with all the new growth the stems will not be able to support the weight of new leaves. I have a wooden dowel to support the trunk but I am still worried. Any ideas on how to bulk up branch thickness? Should I hang tight and see what happens or just chop it off again and hope it grows back stronger next time?

I’m looking for some advice for my Ring of Fire. To preface this plant has been repotted, fertilizer, grow light, window, and scoured/treated for any pests over the last year i’ve had it. I bought it with more leaves and i actually trimmed off some older leaves to even out the root to leaf ratio. i’ve had no growth at all. i don’t know what the thing in the middle is because it’s not a leaf. it won’t grow and it doesn’t shed any old material. it used to be more red but it’s slowly been fading. i added a humidifier right next to it to help loosen just in case it is a leaf but nothing. i don’t want to get rid of it but i also don’t know what else to do. Thank you for reading 🫶🏼🩷 *this picture is from about a week ago but of course, no change*

I have been loving my pilea mollis plant. It was in a spot that I think was semi stunting its growth. It would receive light from an east facing window, but it was placed below the window so it didn’t get a ton of light and was fairly shaded. So I’m moving it to a hanging rod in north facing window that gets direct sunlight from an east facing window next to it. All this to say, I was examining this plant (which was originally a rescue so it came with some damage) and I noticed these little white spots. They are tiny and only in this spot but look like maybe white mold? Given that it had low sunshine and was consistently moist from not having direct light to grow, I figured that would be the case. But I’m wondering if anyone has any better ideas, tips, or tricks? No other plants nearby have any sort of bugs, so I would be shocked if that is the case for this.

Still having trouble with my homalomena :/ I chopped two leaves last week. Since the chop, two new leaves have sprouted And now the three oldest leaves are browning and curling at the tips.

I bought this polkadot begonia about 3 weeks ago and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong her leaves are crispy and and keep chipping off, I haven’t repotted her I thought maybe she was getting too much sun and getting sun burnt so I took her away from the window, she’s not under watered. I’m not sure how to make her happy. Any tips? or have similar experiences?

🦟🐛What’s an effective spray to get rid of gnats? I’ve been using a combination of hydrogen peroxide and water, and a Katchy trapper. This combination works for a while but not as effective as I would like, I still see gnats flying here and there. What have you all tried? Thanks!!

I just got this plant cutting. I was wondering if anybody could idea or give me any suggestions about how to propagate it? I just have it in a bowl of water right now because it won’t stand up

Is this orangish color normal for roots? They’re not soft or mushy. This is a dwarf snake plant.
