I'm not sure what's going on with my Miss Kim lilac. She's an inside plant with proper soil, water, sunlight, etc. On May 20th, we repotted her and she seemed to be thriving (first picture). As of now, a good bit of her leaves are brittle and discolored (second and third pictures). Did repotting her cause this? Or is it something else? Help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello! I just noticed these little brown specks on my arrowhead plant. Any thoughts on what this could be? It’s just on one leaf.
Anyone know why aloe plants drop their leaves? I received an aloe plant from my uncle that had 7 different plants in a single pot so I repotted them all individually. Ever since, one of them completely came out of the dirt and seemed like it just rotted away from the roots, while the others just keep dropping shoots left and right. It’s almost like they are rotting at the base and falling off but I’m not sure why this is happening… any ideas on how I can correct this? The photo is just one of them, I am down to only 2 as I have given the others away. This one dropped 2 yesterday but from my experience, that means more are coming…. My best guess is root rot but I have been ensuring the dirt is completely dry between watering as I’ve killed aloe with root rot before. Clearly I’m not the best with aloe…. 😅
Oh no! New plant mom here with a problem. What is happening to my favorite plant?
This is from my monstera. I popped the leaf off to destroy but I have the same spots on my bigger leafs. They starts on the bottom of the leafs first and now making it through. I thought it looked odd when you look close at it and I didn’t add or do anything to the spots. But is it a fungus problem that I have? Does anyone else have any insight to confirm or deny the diagnosis? Thank you 🙏 😊
My garden flox started showing all these white spots on its leaves. It almost looks like mold. Does anyone know how to treat it?
Hello, this is a Echniposis chamaecerus Peanut Cactus and I have noticed discoloration on one side. I don’t know what I can do here. I bought from an online retailer, Mountain Crescent, whom I do not recommend as all my other plants died in a month and they would not replace. I would like to keep this last one alive and it has lived about 8 months. Should I cut off the one that is turning orange to protect the other? Is there a spray to help with this? I follow the Planta notes and it does dry out so not sure what I am doing wrong.
Help! Why is the leaf droopy 😭 and it’s has water droplets coming out the tips what do I do?
Hello everyone! I’m Hannah and I had a question regarding my Fuchsia tree. My tree’s leaves have been wilting lately and I was wondering, what is causing that? It’s a fairly new plant and hasn’t been repotted out of the nursery pot. I have been watering it every other day. Though, I’m not sure if it’s absorbing the water.
Hey there, I was wondering if anyone could help me understand what’s going on with my dwarf Meyer lemon tree. I recently purchased it a few weeks ago, and the plant was noticeably more yellow than it is in this photo. I was wondering if anyone has tips to completely get rid of the yellow as well as when will the green baby lemon bubs on the tree start growing.
So I was leaving for work four days ago and I noticed my euphorbia not doing so well, so I moved it outside to help it get more light. The light hasn’t seemed to make a difference in the problem area. What do I do? TYIA
I don’t know why my plant is loosing leaves and I think it might be from a hormone paste I used on it. For a little more info I’ve had this plant for a few years and it’s new growth came out a little leggy but I didn’t want to chop any of the leaves so I found Kieki plant hormone paste to speed up growth on amazon which was highly rated my many people and decided to try it. It worked very well and now every node has a new leaf growing out of it. (I’ve attacked photos below) My only worry is that its older leaves are now falling off. 3 of its leaves are now gone within a 1 month period. I have also been fertilizing well to try to keep up with the new growth. If you have any tips of know what it happening from personal experience please share!!!
I rescued a pretty badly shaped fancy alocasia from Walmart. She was in bad shape when I got her: compacted soil, drenching wet, dead leaves, and some bent stems. I got her for $1, and I'm hoping to rehab her! Do you think she'll make it? The corm (at least I think it's the corm) is firm. I got her into a more airy mix, haven't watered her yet, removed dead leaves, and she lost some thin roots while repotting.
I was repotting my ZZ plant and when I took it out of its old pot I found that it had these winged insects living in the soil. I’m not sure what they are, so I need help identifying them. I sprayed the plant with an insecticidal and am going to keep it on a windowsill away from my other plants. Here are some pictures but they’re kind of hard to see,
What is this?! Oh no !
Hi everyone, my ficus benjamina has been wonderful. A few leaves are drying and falling off these days. It has happened before but I’m turning a more critical eye on it now that it’s approaching winter. I live in Australia so it’s autumn now, and it might be completely natural for it to drop leaves. I’m probably worrying for nothing, but if there are any tips they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 🥰
Can anyone help me? Can’t stop the tips browning, I’ve cut them off once (3 weeks ago) do I do it again or… literally anything? I need help 😭xx
Had this lovely tricolor for a couple of years now, and it’s the first I haven’t unalived. But lately I’ve noticed “bites” and blemishes. Any idea what could be going on?
I was away for a week long vacation to Smoky Mountains and I think my gasteraloe was in too much sun, should I cut the leaves or something else?
I recently got a silver inch plant and was super happy with how shimmery and glittery the leaves were, but I have noticed the glitter fading from a lot of the leaves. Does anyone know how to fix this? I really would like the shine to come back! I added a couple of pictures with my flash on and you can see on the left how some of the leaves are not shiny, especially compared to the new growth.
