Can anyone tell me why my Alocasia is doing this!? I have had her for a new months and recently repotted her into a chunky soil mix that she seemed fine in for a while. I recently went out of town and left her sitting by a window with bright indirect light. She I got back she had a couple small brown spots on a few leaves so I moved her away from the window. It has been a few days but now one of her leaves looks like this. Help.

Help! My calathea orbifolia is starting to show yellowing on its bigger leaves and is losing its vibrant coloring. The new leaves look good, and it’s even got a bunch of new ones coming in. I water according to Planta and it’s in a north facing window with a grow light about a 1.5 ft away. Always distilled water and a small amount of fertilizer. I’ve got it in a super chunky mix (soil, perlite, bark) plus some peat moss for a bit more water retention. Most of my calatheas seem to be loving that mix but not sure about this one. Is this overwatering or is there something I’m not seeing? Thanks!

Brought this cow crippler home about a week ago from a greenhouse. It was in full sun for a few days (70-85 degrees outside at the max, 45 at the lowest). Just noticed these black spots- is this sunburn? Something else?

Currently I’m struggling with gnats in my plants. Does anyone have any tips to get rid of them?

My husband says it’s dead This is my palm, Lorna. She’s suffered as it’s been a very dark winter. I’m not willing to give up on her and I think there’s still a chance to revive her What do you think? What would you do?

I purchased a large White Strelitzia 6 months ago, I am noticing the leaves are splitting, browning, and curling a fair amount. I also have Mealybugs, ants, and aphids on the leaves which I clean off regularly and treat with a pesticide. More recently I’ve seen small white centipede like insects flushing out of the pot into the catchment tray. It is still growing new leaves but they appear to be smaller than its predecessor. It receives 8 hours of sunlight and watered and fertilised on schedule. Any tips?

Hi! Does any know what these are? I’ve recently repotted my philodendron gloriosum a few weeks ago due to the same reason. I am just wondering if they are harmless or should I be concerned with their presence in my indoor plant soil. Thank youuu!

I just got this palm around Easter and idk why the tips are yellowing/browning. The soil drains nicely I’m wondering if it’s not holding enough water? Bc it’s dry after a day…

Any idea what this could be from? Looks like some kind of webbing. I found it under the bark mulch at the base of my swamp milkweed. I live in Colorado. Thank you!

My recently transplanted Colocasia Esculenta’s newest leaf was perfectly fine this morning before I left for work. After I got back, I noticed the newest leaf has a split down the center. Before I bought the plant, I read somewhere that strong winds may tear baby leaves. But I can’t find that info anymore so I’m unaware on if that’s the reason. If not, that is why I’m here. Did something else happen to my Colocasia? Or is there a preventative measure I can take? I know it’s Alocasia’s that require staking, but I don’t mind staking it if required. All the surrounding plants are fine. It’s just the tear. Any other info: Watered it today and two days ago. Got surprised by some heavy rain so it got extra watering today. It has 3 leaves so far. Technically only 2 now as I just pruned 1/3 since it was dead.

Why are my angel wing begonia leaves curling in on themselves? I just recently planted her from water propagation about a month or two ago. It sits on my east facing windowsill getting morning sun & i have a humidifier for this one & my rex begonia. I did use Neem oil & systemic house plant insect control last week to try to get the gnats under control.

Just an update on my croton that was repotted. She went into shock, dropped all leaves. Looked dead. I cut her back, gave her a grow light and babied her. She’s making a come back!!

I need help please, this is my mom’s Queen of the night cactus. It’s been rooting for about 2 years now. It flew off my desk today due to some wind when it wasn’t even windy out, heartbreaking… Please can someone tell me if the leaf will heal back or if I should cut it? I’m referring to the huge leaf leaning.. The stem that runs through the leaf isn’t fully snapped but the leaf dangles without any pull to keep standing. Should I pot it in a nutrient rich mix now 94 keep it in water to see if it will heal? It has always been this one large leaf and an older one that is strong but very damaged. If I cut the large dangling leaf in half down to the damage will more leaves grow from that one or is that means for failure.. I really have no clue and just need some help please, anyone.. the mother plant is extremely old, I want to save this baby..

Hi everyone, I picked up this child for $15 at Lowe’s today. What would you do to nurse it back to health?

Hey Guys!! I just need some quick advice please.. Today my moms reincarnated Queen of the night cactus got thrown off my desk by wind and its main largest leaf and the new leaf stem it was currently pushing out both broke.. I think for the new growing one it is probably too late and will die off, but as for the large leaf, will this cut/break that happened heal over or what do I need to do. Please. The leaf broke down the middle stem that goes up the plant and I’m really hoping it will just scab over or something and not that the whole leaf dies ): the break you see in the photo is holding itself together upright, but the plant was completely bent 90° under itself, if you bend it back you can see inside/through the leaf. It has been potted in water it’s whole life, and I’m not sure if I should leave it in the water to heal now or to transition to a potting soil mix in hopes that the growth will take off and not only be one large leaf.. Please I need hope and advice..

Hi! I have this rattlesnake plant. All of a sudden it did this. I can’t even tell if it’s able to be saved. The plant has never shriveled before and I’ve had it for months and now it’s becoming crispy. Do you think this is dehydration? Or overwatering? Thank you! I water it when it when the soil is dry. I usually water until a tiny bit of water comes out the bottom. I do not fertilize it and it has a grow light which is on about 12-14 hours a day. I’ve done it this way for months, but I’ve noticed the soil is retaining less water? When I poor water it goes almost right through. Maybe it needs new soil?

My Hoya is doing wonderful, but she has some black dots on her leaves and her leaves turn yellow . I have chunky soil on the top and normal soil throughout it with a little bit of a mix. I’m just wondering if I can do anything to help this or if it’s healthy and I’m overthinking it
