Hello all! I downloaded planta to get help with my Dumb Cane. I first got it I'm a florist's surprise bowl from my grandma. She relieved it as a gift at my grandma's funeral, so I'm obviously desperate to keep it alive and have it grow. It's got 3 stalks with almost no leaves and one stalk with none (the thickest stalk... go figure). I just reported it in a combo of the soil I had on hand, (sand, perlite, potting mix, cactus mix) to have something well draining and chunky as I read online, this repot is new but I've had the plant for months with no new growth. It was in plain basic potting mix before. And lives under a grow light. No root rot. Do you think this repot will help or do I need to do more? The big stalk has been working on that node nub for a month...

Hey everyone! In need of desperate help. I recently had to repot a bunch of my plants and they look far worse than before and it’s scaring me…. The soil doesn’t feel super wet after watering . They look really limp and unhealthy. I’m so devastated. The Palm I have has new growth but some of the leaves look so dried out and dying . I’m usually so great until I repot 😞 The signs of what I’m seeing are completely opposite of what I know and I need help.

Help! I repotted this guy 12 days ago & put a cacti/succulent soil in and now the leaves are falling off and it’s dying. What should I do to save it?

Hi! I have a flamingo lily here that is set on dying. No matter what I do, she keeps yellow leaves. When I get her, she was basically dead so I cut off all of the dead leaves and such and tried water propagating to grow some of her roots back, but her leaves began to yellow and she seemed to do much better in soil, so this is where she has been since. I thought maybe it was overwatering, but I only water when the soil is almost dry. Any advice is appreciated! TIA!

Alocasia Frydek Need advice! We’re down to almost one leaf- she sits in an east window, is weakly fertilized every watering (roughly every 2 weeks give or take) humidity is 55-70 with the humidifier,it’s in a chunky soil now I’m nervous to move it so semi hydro but I do have some LECA and could transfer. It also has a root on the top of the soil so maybe needs a repot? I’m so nervous to mess with her though! Is there something I’m missing? The most white leaf is new it just came in a week ago, and now the other one is getting floppy 🥺 no Pests visible

In need of some desperate help! My Cactus Craig was totally thriving for the first few months of living with me. I had him by a nice window with lots of light and didn’t water him for months. He was thriving. Then finally gave him a water at about three months of having him and he seemed just fine. Unfortunately I left the window open 2 nights in a row (just not thinking 😭) and I’m pretty sure I gave him a cold shock! I’ve moved him away from it now in hopes he will recover but nothing is working. Please help me. Craig is not doing well and any tips are much appreciated!!

Anyone have ideas as to what's going on with my grandmother's ivy? She passed away in 2022, and I am propagating with 2 cutting from the originally plant I had before she passed. One cutting is doing fine; the other appears to be dying. Leaves are turning gray/brown and drying out. The soil is well-draining and moist, so I don't think it's being underwatered. Would appreciate any help!!

Hi! My name is Collin and I am new to Planta. My grandma passed away, and she had been taking care of my Norfolk Island Pine for about 10 years. It is 10 years old, and I’ve never cared for it before. She had it in a south facing window, and I have it in a west facing window and I think it’s getting to much sun the tips are brown a bit in some spots and I want to stop hurting it early on. I’m going to move it away from my window, but what can I do to help it get better? I am a beginner I know very little about plants, and I really care about this one and don’t want it to die. Please help me if you can!

My new leaves are coming in light green and damaged already… I have repotted in a perlite, orchid bark, worm castings and potting soil mix, I have been misting for extra moisture. I have also checked for spider mites.. I’m unsure what this guy needs! Please help :)

What is this? Is it a mushroom? Should I be worried?

Why do my maranta plants leaves appear to be folded during day time. Its under the grow light and about 70 inches away.

What’s this from?

Okay so the first cactus is a chichipe and I think hes has root rot on one but i want to be sure. I watered him like 22 days ago. The second is my panda plant i believe, kinda leaning and not really growing. Also the leaves are curling but i watered him a few days ago(i dont think hes overwatered cause i waited a long while before watering) Third and fourth are two different string of buttons, the third, is definitely leaning and leaves look like they’re dying. Fourth, i think theres some kind of bug cause it looks like theres holes in some leaves that were eaten and it seems pretty skinny compared to the third pic. Any advice would help!

I just got this guy on 3/29. I’ve been watering it enough for the soil to be wet all the way through but not soaking. I water him about every 7 days. I also mist him every other day/ 3rd day. I try to keep him in decent sunlight but I don’t want him to be directly in the sun since I live in a desert. Can anyone give me any tips so I can save him

I have a little toe-tickler corcian mint that was doing well and now suddenly has this wet, goey spot in the center of it? I'm not sure what is wrong, I watered him only once since purchase and he gets plenty of light and drainage. Is this rot?

Wondering if anyone can help me figure out what’s going on with my Dumb Cane. Most of the plant looks decent, but I’ve had an issue with dry and brittle areas of certain leaves. And then, as you can see, there are yellowed, discolored, and dead leaves that I’ve had to remove. Wondering if anybody has had the same experience or has advice? Thanks in advance.
