Hi, I’m new here. Does this look like my mega Copa is dying or have too much water? They’re all starting to get Brown leaves and kind of shrivel up.:(

What happened to my corsican stonecrop? 😢 It was so beautiful and had a bluish hue, but it grew sooo much and now the plant is pale in color, leggy and the bottom of the plant is all yellow. Is it maybe in a pot that is too deep? I water it about ever 3-4 weeks and gets indirect sunlight but some morning sun. Maybe I could propagate it to save it? Any help would be appreciated 💕

Help! I brought a gardenia home a couple weeks ago and just in the last couple days it has started dropping leaves like crazy. Some are crispy, some are not. I have been misting and watering to the apps instructions. Might I need to be more generous with the watering?

HELP! I’ve held off posting for a bit in case it was gonna get better, but it’s gotten WORSE. My Neon Pothos has a leaf that’s yellowing and has some black spots which aren’t bugs. Help! Other leaves are fine.

Help!!! My pups off my pink quill tillandsia started doing THIS? I thought the most shriveled one was a random death due to being under watered, but apparently not because the other to below started doing the same, even on a fixed watering schedule. If there are any possibilities with anything, I would like to know because I really want to improve!

My Angel Wing was standing tall and proud yesterday but she has been steadily declining and flopping down today - I repotted her today due to the initial drooping and I had not done it since getting her, and thought fresh soil would perk her up but did it make it worse?? Her roots are good, she is in a Western Window that gets dappled afternoon sun. Almost all these current leaves are starting to push out new growth so maybe that has something to do with it? Thank you!

I have these weird white spots on the under leaves of my alocasia. I thought it might be mealy bugs, but I haven't found a single one on it, and the leaves are all nice and healthy. Any suggestions? kinda new at the whole possible pests situation!

My first fern, Bird’s Nest Fern, so not sure what to expect. I checked the leaves and saw no sign of mites or anything. I get home and can see the middle good… surely this isn’t normal? 😞

Hi plant people! Just found a whole lot of mold growing on my African violet. Going to repot her this evening - would really appreciate any tips. I'm planning to change the soil, wash the pot and the roots of the plant, spray the roots and base with a hydrogen peroxide solution and hope for the best. Any recommendations? Thank you!

I just repotted these two plants a few days ago and the pH is low. Around 3 to 3.5 depending on the soil depth. I used indoor plant soil I bought from my local nursery. All my other plants are showing normal pH levels so I don’t think it’s my water. Is this normal when repotting plants? Will the pH rise on its own over time?

I have a moon cactus I put on my shelf, not realizing it didn’t have as much sun light, so it started wilting. I put it on the sun light a couple days ago, and now it is worse. I watered it hoping it would help, but it did not. The picture is before I put it in the window, it is much worse now.

I have had this beautiful Chinese evergreen for 10years & came home to the top piece broke off 😞. I guess I did not have enough support for the big branch! Im wondering on if I can save the top portion? I put it in water as pic shows but not sure if this will grow roots? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all 💜

White 👸🏻 philondendron help please! What could be causing a few of the leaves to turn brown? She’s pretty much thriving, popping out new leaves all the time, but I’m concerned about these leaves browning in big patches. I checked the bottom of the pot to see if I need to repot (nope), roots are OK. No insects or bugs. I’ve seen some of her older leaves turn brown before, one at a time. This is the first time a few of them have large brown patches. Appreciate any help or tips! 🪴 thank you!!
