Any idea what could be wrong with my monstera. It was doing great until I repotted in months ago. The leaves are very droopy and there black marks on some of the stem. I don’t see any pests on or under the leaves. I only water when soil is dry. Watering doesn’t seem to perk up the leaves. I’m worried I’m losing this plant! 😩

Need help with my plant, does anyone know what I'm soing wrong? I've followed a youtube video before when it happened the first time but it looks like it's happening again.

I just bottom watered my calathea ornata and after I took it out, there were these thin little clear and brownish worms in the left over water. The plant is doing great, no visible problems. I have no idea what these could be, can anyone help?

I got this plant from my mom and she had not taken care of it… Do I cut off the leafs? I’ve had it for a couple months now and I don’t know what to do with the brown leaves. I thought I should just leave them but I don’t know if it’s killing the other parts of the plant

Help.
I used to be A* plant mom. Feel like I’m
Really disappointed in how my plants are thriving in my new flat. It’s quite cold at the moment too but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. 2 plants have completely withered/ died (one succulent one Calathea). Trying to keep my others but can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong / should do?

Can you guys help me out. I’m not gonna lie. I have a hard time taking care of this plant. I don’t know what to do with it. I don’t have much time but when I do I make time to take care of my plants, I have a very healthy monstera plant and other little ones I take good care of, but this one I have a hard time. It’s dirty because it rained here in LA for a good couple of days and I left it outside along with my other plants, my Monstera actually thrived. My other plants did too. But this one is so hard for me to take care of. I don’t know much about it either. Can y’all help me out :)

Hello! This is my 2nd newest leaf on my Colocasia and this doesn’t seem right :/ about 2 months ago I treated her for pests since she was in a very poor state from when I got her at Home Depot. The first leaf looked the same when it unraveled but I figured it was from the pests, and then pest treatment, I put her through. Since then she seemed to be doing well! But I don’t know what could be causing another leaf to look like this. Any idea and advice is very much appreciated :)

Was a very happy and healthy plant, and then i repotted it and it seems to be losing more leaves every day, i watered it 5 days ago, and i dont want to risk watering again since i know floppy doesn’t necessarily mean underwatered, what am i doing wrong?

Hey y’all! Any good tips on taking care of this plant? More than half the plant keeps drying out to the point where it keeps dropping strands :( thanks in advance:)

Hi everyone! I got this Swiss Monstera adansonii from Lowe’s the other day for like $10 on sale! She looks a little rough but I’m not sure because I have never had this type of plant before. I’m going to cut the really yellow leaf off and possibly the one underneath it but does anyone have any tips on how to take care of them? Also I’m not sure how far down to cut it:( I’m going to spray some neem oil on all the plants now to just make sure that no crazy pests or bugs come:( I also water all my plants in the tub to make sure they all get a good watering every time, is this ok or should I try a different technique, im new to plants so I don’t have too much knowledge. Thank you everyone in advance!

What’s wrong with my Christmas cactus? The leaves are droopy and wrinkly, and some are becoming see through. Could it be overwatered?? It’s been at least a week since I watered it and for some reason the soil is still damp… Even though it has drainage holes??

I have a question, what is the best soil in general for most plants? My current mix is potting soil with perlite, bone meal, worm castings and orchid bark. Just wondering if i should make any changes

Hi plenty peeps 👋🏽 I recently got this plant and he is not happy. I’ve never had one of these before so I’m hoping to learn from some of you who have had one. It was a Lowe’s rescue and half dead when I got it but it’s worse now. Any tips of helping it bounce back? Thank you!

Hi everyone! I am extremely new to here and also to being a plant mom. This is my first plant ever and I have almost no idea where to start. I’ve had her for about a month and realize now that she was previously not receiving enough light. As a result, she has brown leaves at the root. My question is: should I remove the dead leaves? Or should I leave them in place?
I humbly ask for any tips that might help. I want to keep my Zz alive.

Hi, my friends gifted me this flamingo Lily a few weeks ago and it’s not doing too well. Can anyone give me any care tips please? Am I best off removing the damaged leaves? It’s recently got a couple of new leaves so I’m hoping I can save it 🤞
Thanks!

What happened to my aloe?! It was gorgeous for about 6 months and suddenly started to drop out wide and the arms just fall off…

This monkey mask grown from a clipping has been doing so well - got some new growth but it grew in all black and shriveled (a bit hard to see). Anyone have any ideas?

Me and my family planted these roses- a lot of months ago and when I decided to prune them, I realized the abnormality of the leaves and the white spots on them. I looked it up on google and it said that they were sick, how do I fix this??
