The first peperomia is one I got a while back, but I just repotted a lost a lot of roots due to root rot and overwatering. The second one I got recently and repotted as it was very root bound. The first lost all of its flowering stems at the top. The second is starting to do the same 😢. Any ideas why they’re doing this???

I got a giant taro today, I was wondering. Is it normal that the leaves/stem are really dark? I impulsively bought it

Hi, I have my elephant ear alocasia plant and she doesn’t seem to be doing good.. I think she might have mites that I’m currently treating with soapy water, rinse and dry, and then a little neem oil.. I checked for root rot but she’s healthy when it comes to that. Her roots are in great condition. Are her leaves turning like this because of the mites or is it something else?? She gets indirect lighting and I have a grow light for her in case she needs pick me ups I use a humidifier and like I said her roots are great. What’s happening??

New Plant Person!!! I’m very very new to the plant world and recently got this monstera. After reviewing other posts I think this plant may be over watered (bought it this way) only have had it a day or so and lightly misted it today. I also see these two pieces that feel and look very moist. There are also a few leaves that are…wilting and curling ? Like lettuce left in the fridge too long is the only way I can describe them. The room gets indirect light all day long and i have a humidifier in the room as well. I do keep a ceiling fan on only at night. (I’m not sure if this is bad ) Soil is moist throughout Should I wait a few days to see how the plant reacts to the new environment or change something immediately?

Why are the leaves on my Xanthosoma turning brown and crunchy? It did fine the first month or two I had it. I haven’t changed anything. It’s in well-draining soil. I water it once it’s almost completely dry, but still some moisture. It’s a few feet from a window and receives bright indirect sun for about 6-8 hours a day. Liquid fertilizer once a month. Why does she hate her life lol?

My poinsettia has lost many leaves since I brought her inside to avoid freezing. Today I was cleaning up leaves and one of the branches bent back in half and then broke off! The center of the stem was hollow! I started compressing all of branches and found they were all squishy. All of them were hollow. What happened?.

These strange white spores have stared to appear on a couple of my plants and they don’t seem too happy about it. Any ideas on what it could be?

I’m starting to panic just a little bit because my lucky bamboos stem has started to really wrinkle and the leaves are browning at the tips. Does anyone have anything on this? I don’t know what to do. Is it just under watered?

Trying to figure out care for my plant. I’m thinking it’s the fact that my window lets the cold air in. The temperature is noticeably colder and the humidity is down to a whopping 13% (my humidifier broke and taking into the shower hasn’t helped)

Hello, I’ve noticed this health issue with my Camellias. I would like help from someone who knows for certain, or at least as certain as one can be. Thanks. I have three of the same type, Debutante. Can anyone help me identify the problem? Does it look fungal? Or is it a pest? They are in a location (in zone 9 CA) where even in winter the tops are exposed. Please don’t guess or offer kind suggestions. I need expert guidance or advice. Thank you all very much 🪴

Can anyone help ID the problem for my Philodendron Split leaf? There’s this light yellow mold on the soil? No clue what it might be or if it’s harmful, some of the leaves turned yellow but I thought that was from me over watering it. Hoping to know what’s going on and if I gotta treat it!

I got this as a gift. When I received it its soil was SOAKED and then it started dropping probably 5-6 of its bottom leaves. I haven’t watered it since and now it’s starting to drop more leaves and turn red on the sides? Does anybody know what’s up with this and how can help this plant? Should I water?
