Does anyone know what has happened to my watermelon plant? Two days ago it looked healthy and fine and now this. I am watering it on schedule and have moved it to a little shadier spot since I live in the deep south. Can't think what else could have caused this.

Hey y’all! Please help! My pictum tricolor has yellowing leaves. I keep it in a terrarium to help with humidity and it gets 12 hours under a grow light. I last watered it 7 days ago and the top and bottom soil is still damp. What do I need to do stop the yellowing leaves? I took it out of its nursery pot and there’s no root rot. The AI diagnosis said it’s being overwatered and to take it out for an hour so the roots can dry a bit then repot it. Is that the right suggestion? TIA! 🫶🏽

My plant’s leaves are falling and turning yellow, but, the trunk looks good overall. If this has happened to you, advice would be greatly appreciated! (Has not been over or under watered)

Today while I was repotting my bell pepper plant I noticed that a twisty that I was using to hold the plant was inserted into the stem of the plant. It is very low on the stem and it has probably cut 25 to 30% of the stem. I have removed the twisty now and it didn’t break, but I’m worried whether the plant will survive or not. What can I do to make sure it survives? Thank you!!

Hi! This is my dieffenbachia. I feel like I’ve tried everything—rinsing the roots and repotting, removing any root rot (though there wasn’t really much), and spraying the roots with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Is it a lost cause? (Top pic is how it looked for the first 8 months, bottom left is it a 1.5 months ago, and bottom right is how it currently looks)

Money Tree:I believe I overwatered this plant. It was thriving until I moved it into a new pot about 8 months ago. It didn’t have drainage holes. I made some holes with my drill and also added clay balls under the soil to help with drainage. The last photo is how it looks now without all the dying leaves. Can this be saved? I am new to this so please be gentle.

Alocasia zebrina. No pests found on plant. Has definitely NOT been overwatered or underwatered. In my bathroom that has a large window that is east facing. It may have received some direct sun in the mornings until 11am-ish. About 8-10 feet from window, but rays do go to the area that it was. I’m thinking it’s a burn from the sunlight, since I’m pretty sure I’ve eliminated all other factors. I’ve never had this happen before and don’t trust myself yet on the diagnosis. Hoping I can get confirmation, or if you don’t think that’s the cause, of what you think are possibilities. Thank you for any help in identifying what caused this.
