My bell pepper plant has these streaks on it. The app says it’s probably snails, but I haven’t seen any. What could this be? Should I cut off the leaves? I’m in south Florida and it’s been pretty cold lately.

Hello-I have a question regarding my mother of thousands. I have read online that in the winter to water every 3 to 4 weeks. But I have been watering more frequently than that because according to my moisture meter the soil is dry. I have had several leaves that have turned yellow, look terrible in general and have eventually died or I have cut them off. Am I watering too much? The majority of the leaves look fantastic and have tons of babies on them, but some of the leaves do not and it kinda looks like they have stopped growing babies on those leaves. This plant is under grow lights. I feel like it’s getting sufficient light. Thank you!!

So one morning. I accidentally forgot to water for only one day. ONE DAY. And my purple waffle plants… Threw. A. Tantrum. They wilted, turned yellow and brown, crisped over, and became crunchy. I watered them and they became happy. Then it was regular watering day again, and they suddenly threw another freaking tantrum as if they had been through a drought. EVEN THOUGH I JUST WATERED THEIR BUTTS. I clipped off some paper of the awful ones. And it’s putting out new leaves but. What should I do?

Earlier this month some sort of bacteria/virus spread rapidly throughout all my plants. I cut off all infected leaves, separated my plants and began treatment/prevention immediately. However, the rest of the leaves of all of them ended up getting it too. I cut all my plants bald, and continued to sterilize everything between handling them, I dropped humidity, and stopped watering. Sadly, as their leaves are growing back, they’re all growing back WITH the bacteria/virus. On top of that, it is appearing on their stems as well. Im now debating whether to go ahead and throw pretty much all of them away, and start from scratch. As a last effort, I’ve bought some physan 20, and will apply that to see if maybe any new growth can grow issue free. I think one of the things that caused this was that I may have touched an infected plant i didn’t know was infected and then touched a healthy plant in my greenhouse. Also, never again will i quarantine new plants together even if they’re new from the same place. A single plant may have had it and spread it to all the other plants in quarantine. From now on, I’ll also treat my plants for bacteria, fungi, and viruses YEAR ROUND alternating between treatment types just as i do for pests. I’ll also try my best to not touch the leaf of a plant and then touch another. Etc etc. If I do have to throw them away, it will be practically my whole collection, but theres nothing I can do. I just hope someone can maybe learn from my experience as I attempt to learn from it as well. Im open to any ideas you may have to save even a few plants.

Well I ordered plants from Amazon and they didn’t arrive too hot. All calatheas. I plan on repotting today. Should I just cut the dried ones leaves off and hope it grows new ones? The other one wilted over night pretty bad

The tips of my dragon tree keep browning and eventually the leaf ends up falling off, what can I do to help this? Is this normal? Can I help her be a bushy green monster?

I was trying my luck with another ivy, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 😭 my other plants are just fine but I tried to water it every other week or when the soil is dry bc that’s what Google said but it started wilting so I thought it needed more water so I tried more water/more sun, more water/indirect sun, then I tried less water/more sun, less water/indirect sun and anyways it’s just wilting and I just want to know if there’s any saving it or what to do??

I recently brought my plant home from college to take care over winter break. Unfortunately I forgot it at home and I don’t think my family watered it properly (1-2 weeks). Also, it had a hard journey back because of the freezing temps in the car (leaves were cold to touch) Now the leaves feel thin and flimsy and are much more brown. How do I save my plant? Do I just have to wait it out and keep watering? Below are pics of right now and before this all happened
