I’m going to assume firstly that this is just a case of the winter blues that everyone is seemingly getting hit with :) but I’m getting a little worried about my two plants: ZZ plant: Had a few new shoots pop up about 3 months ago, they were doing alright, nothing surprising. Until about 3 weeks ago when the shoots started curling up and shrivelling. There’s been no change to the watering schedule and I’ve kept them in the same place that they thrived in sooo I’m unsure what’s going on🥹 Dragon tree: Had no issue up until about a week and a half ago when all of a sudden I’ve had an avalanche of yellow leaves dropping from my plant. Completely in the dark with this but I’m assuming inconstant temperature is the culprit (heating and cooling of my room due to radiator being more active now) Any thoughts??🌚

Just curious. This plant I cut some leaves that looked damaged. I noticed these little spots on the orange leaf. Should I be worried about them even though it’s pushing a new leaf out? Thanks! It’s a cherry red philodendron if that helps. 😊

What’s going on with my sage and how do I help her? She was doing great during the summer and I’ve brought her in for winter and fall since she was looking sad, but she hasn’t improved yet. I’ve put a grow light on her to give her some extra light

This is my spiderplant, its usually perky, but for the last couple months the leaves haven't been as firm and some leaves have some discolored spots. Some leaves are also brown at the tips. Any ideas?

Help!! 😢 I repotted my ogre ears about a week ago, and now it’s all wrinkly. The soil is dry, so could it just be that it’s thirsty, or is it something else?

HELP!!! My friends ivy is slowly getting worse and we are not sure as to why. It has started yellowing and having leaves fall off at a rapid pace. She is watered every 12 days from top watering and she is in a terracotta pot she was repotted about 3 months ago as she was root bound. I used indoor plant fertilizer on her today as she has never been fertilized.

Is this thrips? I’ve had this philodendron for a long time but it’s now got odd marks on it. I have had thrips before, but these markings look different. Also some of the leaves are coming out really bumpy and leathery as they open. I’ve treated with insecticidal soap and then Neem and dish soap. Any ideas what it is?

Hello! I have had this plant for two years now and these little pink strings started showing up on the stems recently. After a quick google search I think they are aerial roots, but would love others opinions. Is there anything I need to be doing about them or be doing something differently in taking care of my plant? Would appreciate any and all insights and advice!

Hey does anyone know why my Mung Bean Plant has these brown dots? It’s slightly pot bound and I’m repotting it on Saturday, it will have much more room.

Hi!!! I am having issues with my outdoor plants having gnats on them. I’ve been using a gnat spray for the plants but unsure how to deal with the gnat issue! Any suggestions?!!!

hi!! can anyone help me with my pothos? i’ve had it for less than a year but up until a couple months ago it was doing super well. recently though its felt like it just keeps yellowing at the leaves which end up dying and i have to remove them. I’ve lost a TON, and it feels like im gonna loose more. I’ll attach photos of what it used to look like and what it’s currently looking like. I’ve been spacing out how often i water it too, but it hasn’t seemed to make a difference. Previously there were pest problems but i took care of that using sticky patches.

they are supposed to be un-killable😣 so i got this snake plant a few weeks ago. there were three plants in one big pot so i took one out and put the other two in a pot. the bigger snake plant is doing fine, but the small one has a leaf that is super droopy. i noticed it turning yellow two weeks ago, but it didn’t start to droop until three days ago. when i repotted when i first got it i reused the same soil (which i suspected wasn’t very well draining) because i can’t really afford to buy more soil. i put it in a porcelain pot with only one drainage hole. i’m thinking about putting it a wayyy smaller terracotta pot so not as much water is just sitting in the soil. there aren’t a lot of roots and i think it would fit. also sorry for all the grammatical errors

hi everyone! my monstera has one leaf that always gives me issues every few months. her edges are yellowing but not typical watering issue yellowing. it’s more like a faded yellow instead of a harsh line. i fertilized 2 days ago, she’s been thriving in her window position for 3 months, and her watering schedule is done when needed. any help is appreciated! note: the brown edges are from 6 months ago from the previous owners. they have not gotten bigger since i’ve had her.

Anyone know what's causing this? Haven't moved it and I've been following Plantas advice to a T. Checked it all over for bugs and it does have a few white dots on it and I'm not sure what they are so I'm spraying it with Neem and putting it in quarantine. But could those huge brown "burnt" leaves be caused by that?
