Iāve grown this Chinese money plant from literally nothing! It would never grow past 3 leaves before one snapped off! I was so proud of the progress but itās giving me troubles again, the stems keep snapping off recently, the new growth is shrivelled and/or brown and the old leaves are curling. Planta suggested Iām both over watering and under watering ?? Any suggestions if anyone has experienced this? Whatās the fix? š«£
I got this peace lily a few weeks ago and it was doing really well. Since Iāve had it its leaves have been starting to turn yellow/brown and the flowers are dying. I water it when it starts to wilt which is maybe once a week. Iām not sure what Iām doing wrong :( (Itās also an indoor plant)
Hi! Ive had this fiddle leaf for about 2 years, I now realize how lucky I am to have kept it alive this long lol. Recently heās been losing bottom leaves and just not looking too happy. He gets pretty indirect light (the picture was taken at night) but he hasnāt gotten a new leaf in a while. What can I do to help this poor guy?
SOS. I am losing my mind over this fittonia. The leaves have been constantly dry and curling, so I tried repotting into three separate pots, but now this morning itās completely drooping. I am at a loss of what I am doing wrong. Does anyone have any thoughts/advice? I am a beginner plant parent and would greatly appreciate any support š¢
is this rubber plant droop normal? ps planta bring back flash option for pics!
What is happening to my cactus? The right bud was identical to the other two last time I checked, and now itāsā¦ this. Is this a good or bad thing?
Anyone have any idea why my swiss cheese plantās leaf is turning yellow? The other leaf to the left is curled but has always looked that way, and the rest of the plant is bright green. Watered about 8 days ago
Guzmania bromeliad is sick with yellow and brown spots. Iām not that familiar with this plant and normally keep it under my grow light, but I put it under the sun since itās pretty sunny today right now any tips would be very helpful.
Anyone know what these white spots are? It's something I haven't seen before. I've been fighting with this plant to keep it alive for years and it's finally doing really well. š¤·āāļø
Theyāre almost going to die the cold has started šš
I accidentally watered my plant with moldy water (I used my watering can which apparently had grown some mold on the inside). What should I do? I watered straight from the tap after I realized. This is my favorite plant and I donāt want to lose her!
Hi! I am exteremly new to planting, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this problem I have. I got both of these greek oregano plants at the exact same time, they have both been living in the exact same conditions, everything has been the exact same with them, yet one of them is dying, and I don't know what to do, and one of them is thriving.
Does anyone know why my Thanksgiving cactus looks like this? I changed the soil because she was rotted and now she still looks like this after a month of being repotted.
i picked up a flamingo lily off the street, pot included, that was signposted as free outside someones house. i've repotted & watered it but cant seem to diagnose what mistreatment it has faced.. can anyone help?
Plants are supposed to be my relaxation and inner peace hobby. I love tending to them, but I do not overly baby them. If I canāt keep them alive then so be it. I donāt like giving up but Iām not ripping out hair worrying about how to make the seventh treatment work. Iām not measuring exact remedies, Iām not keeping species I donāt like, and Iām reminding myself that a pest is not the end of the world- even when we feel like it is. I brought home a beautiful String of Pearls, absolutely huge. What came home with her? Aphids. Now itās cool because Iām taking entomology and Iām actively seeing dead aphids, spider mites, thrips, and mealy bugs under microscopes (they werenāt all so lucky to munch another day). That also means Iām getting super picky looking through my plants. I take a look for pests when I water or prune, but I want to take in my plants for their beauty and not for the potential problems. I used dawn dish-soap and warm water on that SOP today after reminding myself of my peace and not the problems. I took her out of the pot, soaked her with her root ball, and repotted in higher draining soil. I lost minimal amounts of pearls, including some rotting ones which maybe are the aphids fault. I crushed and drowned at least 30 aphids, it was cool seeing them just float off into the water. I half-heartedly quarantined her, at least until I treat again in 4-6 days. But she was already next to dozens of other plants. I wonāt treat them until I find aphids, then everyone gets a soapy water dousing. Preventative is good, but I wonāt put myself through the busy work just yetā¦ I want to see who is susceptible and who isnāt. The hardier the plant, the more I want it in my collection. I think a lot of people can attest to the stress, feelings of failure or simple desire to burn an entire collection when we get pests. In the grand scheme of things, plants are supposed to be hobbiesā¦ and if one is taking the joy out of it, you have to consider how much you really need to save it. I try for the learning experience and if I fail, maybe it wasnāt the right plant or the right time. Any decision is okay as long as it makes you happy and satisfied with your collection. Thereās always more plantsā¦ and you can always chop & prop and let the rest of the problem child go. Iām newer to the hobby and am dreading the day when I get a huge outbreak, but I will not allow myself to become overwhelmed with plant chores and pests and I will not keep things that I donāt genuinely get excited about sharing with others. So at the end of the day when you stress about them at night, remind yourself this is your collection and your choice. Plants are resilient, you are capable of experimenting, and donāt let the stress overwhelm you. ā®ļø
Hi all! Fairly new to the plant world but have had my weeping fig (Benny) for around a month and a half now, and when checking on him this evening Iāve noticed this sticky stuff on the underside of some of the leaves, and the top of the leaves that have this on seem to be going yellow?? From doing an inspection, i cant see any bugs on him Does anyone know what this is, and any advice on treating this?
Little white bugs crawling around after I watered my orchids. I heard there is a bug thatās good and does no harm to plants and then thereās the common pests. Is this a good one?
