Please help! I am very new to plants and gardening, this is my callisia repens pink panther (I think..) and it looks horrible. I got her about a month ago and I realized the basket it came in had no drainage holes so I just repotted her into a terracotta pot with drainage because I suspected root rot. My worry is that the new pot is far too big as so much of the plant was dead and mushy so I lost a lot of it. I tried clipping dead parts and soggy roots off that had weird fuzzies on it (Mold?) but I’m not too sure how I did. I’m also worried that it may not be getting enough light? My plant in-front of my south facing window but is about 10 ft away from it. If anyone has any tips or suggestions I would appreciate it so much! Thank you

i was repotting my ZZ plant when i noticed this weird pink thing. What is it?????

I just got a whale fin plant in the mail. I’m excited to have another sansevieria, as I have a couple of snake plants. I know when a snake plant shoot gets a brown tip, the shoot with the brown doesn’t continue to grow. It focuses on growth elsewhere. Is that the case with a whale fin too?

My philodendron developed these black and yellow patches almost overnight. Any ideas what it is and what I should do to treat it? I watered it three days ago and misted the leaves today.

Hey all- my majesty palm has been giving me grief since I brought her home (a common experience, I’ve discovered😞). I moved her about 6 ft away from my window because at first all of her leaves were crisping and turning brown/ yellow. She perked up a bit, but still wasn’t doing great. Then I reported her almost 2 weeks ago into a much larger pot with a humidity tray and humidifier, because I was reading they need really high humidity. But now one of her crowns seems to be growing a fungus/ starting to crown rot. AHG not sure what to do. I haven’t watered her for almost 10 days but she still feels damp. Any advice is welcome 🙏🏻🙁

I’m just coming here to complain so maybe someone can commiserate with me- It has been a very damp, dark spring. My plants had a great pop of growth and so I kept watering them as scheduled. Unfortunately because of the humidity and lack of sun, they’re all now way too overwatered. The soil is retaining too much moisture (despite having well draining soil that accounts for humid air). The plants that don’t like direct sunlight are experiencing moldly soil (I’m using cinnamon to combat), and or rot of some kind. I just find myself constantly playing plant Tetris to dry soil out, or give them the light they deserve. Thank goodness the grow lights are coming tomorrow!! 🌱🫧

Hi I am absolutely terrible with plants - I kill them all. Maybe it’s the way I look at them or something Anyway, my pansy has survived for around a week so far but today it has decided to wilt and I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong. My husband said it’s my fault for calling her Felicity - it was just too optimistic of a name Dr Plant says it needs to rest but I’m not so sure. I feel like not doing anything is the way I’m going to kill her. She’s at front of my house partly sunny partly shade depending on time of day (my house faces south) and I live in Manchester so I wouldn’t have thought lack of water would be the issue. Can anyone help?

i saw tiny brown bugs crawling in the soil of my orchid and now i see this white stuff. any idea? are these spider mites? what should i do?

My monstera adansonii has these crispy brown spots on one of its leaves that are spreading. Can anyone help? I’m really trying to keep this baby alive 🥺

I have this calathea that pretty much died on me. I trimmed back all the dead leaves, started watering with tap water I leave out overnight, and he’s placed right next to a humidifier. He looks a lot healthier but his leaves are still turning crispy. He is not in direct light at all so I don’t know what else to try

Hello! I have this elephant bush that I’ve recently saved from the compost pile but it’s occupying every seat on the struggle bus. is it worth saving at this point? I feel like it needs to be repotted because it doesn’t have drainage but I’m afraid of shocking it out of its last breath

Hi Everyone! Beginner plant parent here. I need help diagnosing what’s wrong with my tea rose. Yellowing/spotted leaves with holes…any suggestions? Is something eating the leaves? Thank you!

One of my silver inch plants is in a clear pot and I noticed the soil is looking green. Is it safe? The plant itself seems to be growing pretty well and I water it every three days (it’s outside and I check the soil with a chopstick).

I just potted these couple weeks ago and it’s kinda lookin sad, anyone know what I can do

Looking for advice. I rescued a spider plant from my office kitchen as it looked super sad (see pic in the white/grey pot). I brought it home and repotted (see pic in green pot). I used all new soil that I mixed myself but when I took it out of the grey pot to place in the green pot it had no roots at all. I haven’t watered since putting it in the new pot as I had just watered it at work the same day I brought it home. Should I put her in a smaller pot given she has no roots?? Help.
