My golden pothos is now getting yellow leaves and brown spots on new and old leaves. I could not see pests on the underside of the leaves with a magnifying glass, so I have no idea what's going on. What's going? I water when dry and fertilize every other watering with miracle grow. Oh, and I add peroxide to water to control bugs.
Saw this on top of my BOP soil. It looks like mold. Can I scrape the top to just remove it completely? Or should I just leave it and dry it out? Will it go away
Hi everyone, I just picked up a small Alocasia Polly yesterday at the supermarket. It was such a great price that I couldn’t leave it! It was sitting next to another Alocasia that had spider mites, so I’ve put mine in quarantine for now. I’m quite new to plant care, but so far it seems healthy. I can see tiny white roots at the bottom of the pot, and it even has a new leaf coming in. I’m a bit unsure about the next steps: • Should I just leave it alone for now, or start cleaning its leaves and treating it for pests preemptively? • Should I cut off the smaller leaves? • Should I wait to repot since it has a new leaf, or is now a good time? Any tips would be amazing!
So I got this peace lily next to a dumpster and had to do a complete chop of everything. It’s obviously doing very well as it has a bloom coming in but some of my leaves are brown and mushy in certain spots. What does this mean? I look on the internet and the only thing that comes up is yellowing leaves but these don’t have any of that. And no the radiator it’s next to is not on yet, it will most likely get moved from there in the winter
why do my hoya look like this? my krinkle looks great and feels healthy from the front of the leaves, but the back of the new leaves look unwell. fungal? sunburned? (third photo is a different hoya with a similar problem)
I recently got this plant already in bad condition. I repotted and changed the soil. When I watered it last night the drainage tray had plenty of water in it however I never noticed until after watering and not sure if it was there before or after watering. The leaves feel crispy to an extent but the soil is damp deep into the pot. I’m not sure if the problem is over or under watering although I know it’s too recent to diagnose. Any suggestions or tips?
hiiii… recently brought home, repotted, watered and fertilized this guy and had to chop off quite a bit due to damage but now the stems are turning yellow… anyone know why?
Hi, my fiddle leafs are growing new leafs. It’s the first time I noticed that all the new leafs have brown small spots. It is weird that all of them have the same appearance, before this, new leafs will grow all the same green tone but without the brown spots. Any idea why this would be?
Someone help me 😭 I got this baby yesterday and repotted it when I got home and one of the plants seems to be in shock maybe? How do I help him? The one in the other photo that looks not good has a bloom, he’s the one not doing well at all. All the other stems are perfect and tall but not him. You can see him leaning with all his other pals. He is watered, and no root rot.
my angel’s wing has mealy bugs!! i have isolated it and am routinely inspecting/spot killing with diluted rubbing alcohol. i’ve also added bonide systemic granules to the soil. is there anything else i can do? I haven’t seen any of the cottony egg sacks, but i’m keeping an eye out to kill those too. i feel like just spot killing will keep me behind, like playing whack a mole. also, are these brown things on the stems normal? they kinda come off with some force and rubbing alcohol…
My basil plant soil has gnats (or possibly white flies). I would normally use diatomaceous earth to get rid of them. However, the soil needs to stay damp for this plant and diatomaceous earth needs to be dry in order to use it. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can use to get rid of them? I have neem oil but that's usually for the leaves and the actual plant itself.
Hi guys! I’m new to the plant life. I’ve had this money tree since March and I’m super proud of her. She has a routine that I never skip and she’s grown since then. But I’ve noticed on some leaves there’s this brown/yellow ish color. I’m thinking maybe it’s too much sunlight. Since it’s a money tree I usually don’t water it but once a week, so I don’t want to overwater. I also don’t know what happens to them in the fall time, does it affect them any way? Thank you for any response!
Concerned about my white birds of paradise. She’s indoors but I’ve noticed lately that her leaves have been curling. I also see that the other leaf isn’t unfurling properly. When I feel the leaves, it feels kinda crispy on the edges. I do water her weekly, but I do get scared that if I water her too much, I might get root rot. I do not use a humidifier or a grow light. If anybody has any idea what i can change. Thank you
I have had a Chinese money tree for at least a year. Growing and new leaves are showing. I am wondering if it needs repotting. I am concerned to put it in too big of a pot. I am noticing that some of the leaves seem to have an issue. It’s in a north east facing window about 6 feet away. I water when the soil is dry and I do spray a couple of times a week. The leaves are a new issue. Does anyone know if it is time to repot or suggestions.
I bought a rose painted Calathea from Costco a few weeks ago. Beautiful. It’s about 8 feet from a west window. I spray it twice a week and water when the top layer of dirt -about an inch or two dry. I have noticed spots are developing . The first picture of the plant looks good. The leaves shown are now developing spots. My second calathea and the first one died! Hoping to save.
I think I need help. This pink polka dot plant is loosing some of the larger middle/lower leaves. They're turning yellow and drying up. There's some new growth trying on the top, but I'm worried. I can't tell if it's a light or water issue. Any advice?
Any clues why my calathea has some random holes? I used Neem oil two weeks ago.
Tiny white spots on Alocasia leaves. Is this looking like a pest? Or something else? Thank you! Edit: The backs of the leaves are AFTER wiping down/treating so I probably got rid of anything useful. *sigh* But I did spray all my plants and wiped down all leaves with a mixture of water, alcohol, plant pest spray just to be safe. I’m not treating soil, unless I should?
My rattlesnake plant is doing horribly… it has lost probably 2/3 of its leaves in the past 2 months or so and doesn’t really move with the sun anymore. It was a very fast change, it used to be healthy and lively. I just repotted her and that seems to have helped a little bit, and I moved her to a brighter space as well, probably a month ago. But what else can I do and what is happening??? Edit: I should mention that the leaves are curling up and drying out
Does this look like it has a fungal infection or just a sunburn? This plant is one of my pickiest babies and is always getting something. I have to keep it in my quarantine room under a grow light because it's so picky. Every time I move it out it starts doing badly, but I've had it since it was in a tiny 4 inch pot and just a couple inches tall so it's worth fighting for. 🤦🏼♀️
