This has been growing out of the trunk no leaves anywhere else on this branch

Hello. I have a dieffenbachia, all of the leaves have shed and it’s just a stalk. I repotted it and the roots look fine. How can I encourage leaf growth?

Does anyone know why my Dragon Scale’s edges are curling inwards? The edges are fully firm still no sign of soggy leaves - 70% & 20 degrees celsius - Directly under grow light approx 30cm away - Watered when soil dries out - Fertilised when Planta says so

I accidentally mixed up worm castings with blood meal and repotted all my outdoor plants two weeks ago… and just caught it. Besides the fact that bloodmeal SMELLS SO BAD after watering, do I need to repot my tropicals? How can I weaken that smell? I have a small porch and after watering it’s almost unbearable to sit out here… My 4yo devils backbone for attention.

Happy Tuesday Planta’s!! I realized that these spots started to show up on my white princess philodendron about a week or two ago. I assumed it was normal but now as I am looking at photos of other peoples, I don’t know if it is normal. I’m just wondering if this is something that should be concerning and if any of you have dealt with this, how did you fix it? Also, a few of my leaves are curling, but I think it may just be due to transplant. Shock because I moved this from a larger container into a smaller one. First photos will be of the new splitting I’m more concerned about. Also any tips on how I would make my mother plant more variegated like the baby it produced.? All of the green is kinda plain to me, idk if I chop it and restart or if that will just remove the rest of the variegation left 🙈 please help

I planted this lavender maybe two weeks ago and just noticed she’s getting brown in the center. I water her everyday and is in a spot where it’s part shade. Please help!! There’s also no loose leaves around the base I know that could cause some issues as well. Thank you!! Happy gardening :)

Some of my plants are getting soil mold. How do I stop this? I’m new to plants and worried I’m gonna lose them already.

What is my orbifolia trying to tell me?

Hello! Late last summer, I had my string-of-hearts outside and my poor guy was attacked by a mouse. Of about 6 strings only two survived. Once it was strong enough, I decided to put the strings back into the pot to repopulate. After about a month, I got this. I’m not sure what to do because I don’t want to stress it out again. I thank everyone for advice in advance! 💚

So I was worried my Pachira Stump was getting too much light, but I also have these shoots that make me think it’s searching for light 😣

Fungus Gnats! Hi, so a while ago my boyfriend and I started to notice fungus gnats in one of his plants. and he bought some Neem Oil spray after it started to get pretty bad which seemed to knock em all out - my plant, Cherri, had very few showing up on the traps I had bought so I didn't use it. At her previous watering (a bit late) I noticed some more showing up and gave her a good spritz and replaced the trap - I also made my own trap to the side with some sugar water and dishsoap (no apple cider vinegar as we were out). A few days ago I gave her a light spritz as it had been over a week, and I left her in her spot and went a bit longer before watering her today (4 days late). When I watered her this morning I noticed a lot more on the sticky trap, so I sprayed her again halfway through watering then after finishing up I noticed a bunch of tiny little baby gnats crawling around (I also think I should note that the water which drained out of the drainage hole was yellow in color and idk what that means). Do I need to repot her again? Replace the soil? I'm really trying my best here and I don't want to lose her as she's doing SO good with new leaf sprouts.

Help please!! One of our monstera’s had an aerial root that was reaching towards the ground but has now begun rotting at the end. Boyfriend cut it off clean last night and then it rotted at the end again. Any tips/advice are appreciated!!

This paddle jade plant is sun scorched I think or over watered one. I don’t know. But it’s lost alot of leaves. Can i cut the stem and bury it to propagate new growth or should i just give up? Any suggestions? My diffenbachia has the same problem. Should i move them both back inside off the patio? It gets full sun for the afternoon but not the whole day.

Hello! I just planted these little Shamrock Clover bulbs two months ago. My friend’s plant was very sparse, too. I have it in south window that also has east and west windows. Does it just need time? It is still cool at night. Soil is damp, not soaking. Thank you for advice. I am new to house plants.

Hi all! I’ve had this money tree for ~2 years or so and the past few months her leaves just haven’t looked so happy. They get dry and papery and brown tips/spots (I’ve pruned many of them but they still grow back like that, as you can see in the pics). I thought it might be a lack of humidity, so I started putting her in the bathroom when I take a shower and even set her next to a humidifier some days but I haven’t seen much change. I staked her back in February because she was starting to resemble the leaning tower of Pisa and I’m careful to keep all the ties lose so she can grow. She does have new growth at the top (pics included) but the rest of the leaves just seem… unhappy. Sorry for the LONG description. Would greatly appreciate any insight/tips/ideas/recs — THANK YOU!!💜

Has anyone else been dealing with a full on battle against spider mites on their outdoor plants? I cleaned out my gutters, & BOOM! Spider mites everywhere!!! Finally, I have gotten them mostly under control thanks to Paige Tailyn Johnson's sexy plant juice spray & neem oil! I wanted to share the recipe here, because as a somewhat new plant parent (a year & a half ish) it's been so easy to not even think about protecting my plants from pests because I've never dealt with them before! This spray is not only a good mite killer, but also a leaf cleaner! Sexy plant juice spray recipe: 2 cups of water 2 tbsp of neem oil 1 tbsp of peppermint Castile soap 1 tbsp of isopropyl alcohol (70%) (Updated recipe! I originally said 2 tbsps of soap & alcohol, but that was incorrect; & Paige also says 70% isopropyl alcohol, but I've been using 90%) (Previously id been using the spray bottle of neem oil for my sexy spray, but I think the concentrated works much better!) I hope this will help some plant parents out there protect their plants better, & I also can't recommend following Paige's plant tips! (Not sponsored I swear I just love her)
