guys i do not know what to do about this plant š itās an ornamental pepper plant, the type you donāt eat just look at. brought home from Trader Joeās 3-4 weeks ago and had been declining for the past two weeks. apparently they love water so iāve been keeping the soil damp but not wet (idk iām usually a succulent mom). i repotted a few days ago into a smaller pot w well draining soil just in case. the roots looked fine. itās in the most sun i can give it without it being outside (which is an option just not a great one). itās sooooo crispy i just donāt know what iām even looking at. if anyone has any advice i would appreciate it š

Are the stem of the fronds on my dwarf coconut palm supposed to be this yellow? I talked to the worker at the nursery I got them from and he said itās a characteristic of the tree, just seems a little too yellow to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Iām looking for some advice on my Philodendron prince of orange - I went through a low motivation period and he got a bit neglected and is now growing very sideways. He is health and giving new growth. Should I try to prop him up? Let him be sideways and get a long planter? Any ideas?

I canāt figure out why my fern is getting brown and crispy on the edges. I water according to plants Recommendations and mist frequently! Sheās about 6 feet from a south facing window.

Help needed! I transplanted this neglected jade around 3 months ago and mistakenly watered it in right away. I thought it would be fine if I waited another month before watering again, but the plant has continued to produce these black spotty leaves. Admittedly when I transplanted I didnāt take all the old soil off the roots because it was so top heavy. I gave it a prune last month and it has put out a ton of new growth. Should I just wait it out or do I need to go in and get all that old soil off?

Help! My Swiss cheese is getting a brown spot. Itās a gift cutting. About 2 weeks old. Is it getting too much or too little light? It gets no direct sunlight currently.

My San Pedro cactus has these cream colored spots on it that are getting worse. Can anyone help me determine if this is scale or a fungal infection? Thank you!!

easy way to get rid of gnats? i have plants in my bedroom and saw a bunch in the past couple days, will they go into my items like bed and stuffed animals? or just my plants? theyāre hard to see but iāve only seen (i think) in my plants (plants are near the window and bed is close to the plants, less than a foot away)

Is this root rotting? If so, why? Itās a new root and it hasnāt been overwatered. Itās a moth orchid. Thanks so much!

This is my ming aralia, my baby for better words lol i was admiring it this morning when i noticed the pot was kinda sticky.. i thought weird so I started looking through the leaves and branches and found what look like SLUGS?!? The plant is still THRIVING, like lots of new growth, are the slugs (if thats what they are) harmful ?
P.S. - the soil has a smidge of whiteish mold looking stuff on the top?
