hi everyone! I have this black velvet alocasia that has this random yellowing leaf and I cannot figure out why. The big leaf right above it is brand new, the roots are healthy, there's no pests...do the older leaves toward the bottom just yellow and die off normally?

New plant parent here. Are these brown node thingys eggs or plant growth? It seems to be healthy but I’m terrified I’m getting pests.

Golden goddess philodendron. What is this? Appeared basically today as I checked yesterday. Almost transparent. Not sticky, just smooth. Otherwise super happy plant that just spit out a new leaf, and has another apparently on the way. Would like to fix asap to keep her happy.

My 4 year old Philodendron Rojo Congo is struggling. I moved him from a south facing window to a corner with south and west facing windows. I think he’s getting too much direct sunlight and is losing a leaf every month or so and the lower leaves just look sad and droopy. He is pushing out new growth though. Maybe I should just move it back, but let me know if you have any other tips for a happier plant!

Please help! Can anyone identify what’s going on with my golden pothos? I definitely think it’s some type of pest but I’m not sure what ☹️

My monstera adonsonii hasnt been doing as good as she normally has and I am suspecting some type of pest. We have a fungus gnat problem with another plant and are treating all of our plants for that but from what ive looked up im not sure that's whats causing this? I don't see any obvious signs of pests like spider mites or mealy bugs so im stumped! Spots, yellowing, and some deformed leaves. Thrips? No idea how it would have gotten them or why my other plants arent suffering from them if so. Ill take any advice I can get!

Hi! My peace lily has me perplexed and I'm hoping someone can help me, please. Since she's been in 'flower' she seems to be more thirsty in that every 3 to 4 days she starts drooping, classic sign of dehydration, right? But I didn't think it should be that often. So despite what Planta says, I'll give her a little drink and she perks back up again within a couple of hours. Today she has drooped again, I've felt the soil and it is dry but am I right in saying, this and a few other yellow leaves suggest overwatering, not underwatering? The leaves feel soft too. Does anyone know what my dramatic plant is trying to tell me?

Is this sodiroi or some cross? Leaves are a bit sun bleached, it does have sodiroi coloration

I am becoming a little disenchanted with my new plant AI app. This is my pickle plant. It gets very stemmy and the old leaves dry out. Yesterday AI told me it wasn't getting enough water so I changed the watering schedule. I asked again today out of curiosity and it told me I was over watering it and should let it dry out more. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️. Anyone have any ideas why this plant does this? Do I really need to take the whole thing out of the pot to check the roots?

My peace lilly has been in water for a couple of months now, and I have started noticing the leaves looking very pale. I have purchased a peace lilly fertiliser for it that I have sprayed onto it, I was wondering if there’s anything else I can do? Thanks

Why does my dieffenbachia hate me😭 I got this plant a month ago and he looked great, he then started dropping the bottom leaves and shooting up higher and now his final leaf is dying too! I think it’s lack of light so I bought a grow light…any other tips with these?
