Hey guys! Got this ghost plant succulent about two weeks ago. It was rained on for a bit, but nothing concerning. I watered it two days ago and I notice that one leaf is looking withered. I see another leaf is slowly withering too. Anyone know a thing or two about this?

Hi all Posting from London, UK. My Ficus Audrey needs some help. As you can see from the pics it went from lovely and healthy in March 2025 to top heavy today. How do I get it bushy again? It’s in my bedroom which is North West facing, first on my chest of drawers away from the window so shady/indirect light. I decided to move it to the window after it lost loads of leaves so it gets more light. I tried cutting deep notches in the trunk and covering with root hormone powder but that didn’t work. I do fertilise it based on Planta’s recommendations but it’s been stuck at its current state for months. Any ideas?

Help! Is this normal for a peace lily?! I’ve been trying to keep this one alive! She’s so pretty and I don’t want to lose her!

What could be causing pothos leaves to turn yellow and the brown spots? Thanks

What do we think chat? Is she dead? I noticed her decline after watering her so I changed out the soil in the hopes of preventing her demise, but I fear that she was too far gone. Thoughts?

My birds of paradise sadly has another bug infestation. Sadly this time, mealybugs. I’ve thought my leaves were just a bit dusty for weeks but when I’ve had a proper look today, there the little suckers were. How do I even begin to treat this? I’ve consulted ChatGPT but I’m still new to owning plants and want to get it right as I’ve got two new shoots/leaves emerging and don’t want to damage them.

Hey guys! My neon adansonii got repotted a yesterday. (I had so much trouble repotting this thing it isn’t even funny). And it now is going through a good amount of transplant shock. Does anyone know what I can do to help her bounce back? These are now and then. I watered it this morning, because I didn’t yesterday, and the soil was pretty dry. Any thoughts?

I have been trying to save this plant for forever. I repotted it to a nursery pot and now this happened. Rough. Will probably just throw it away. The top photo is today.

I think my Blackie is headed to the graveyard today. I have one good leaf left though.

My poor, usually drama-free Titi has taken a turn and it’s not good 😩 bottom leaves have been yellowing over the last 3 wks, either dropping themselves or I’ve been proactively removing ones on their way out. At first thought, ok it’s just bottom leaves dying off to make room for new growth (also new growth looks good!). Came down this morning and, voila, another man down. Also found these weird wood chippy things (don’t appear to be bugs) in the stem. Is this a pest? Damage from a pest? Normal? Fungal? First 3 pics are now, last are about a month ago when she was still thriving. Pls help!

Help! I recently got this Begonia Rex Black Mamba and it’s not thriving. Over the past week, the stems and leaves have become droopy and there are holes in all of the leaves. What does this beautiful plant need?

Are ants harmful to plants? I have 15 plants in our lanai, and ants are crawling all over them. How can I get rid of the ants without hurting the plants? Thanks in advance!

I had a Pothos on my back patio and the cardinals built a perfect little nest so I couldn’t water it. The eggs hatched and the babies have left. Can I revive my plant?
