It’s been a while since I’ve used this app or posted here but I’ve had a little accident and require some outside opinions.. Maybe like a week ago or so my mom accidentally closed top of the printer on my aloe, and it’s taken quite a bit of damage. I was wondering what I should do because it’s no longer firm near the base of this one leaf, I can wiggle it up and down pretty freely. Near the base of this leaf, it looks like there’s some shriveling and browning, but the leaf itself everywhere else looks ok and is firm. There is also some slight discoloration near the end of the leaf.

My app is telling me to repot almost all of my plants right now. That’s about 30 plants!! Is that necessary if they are doing well?

Which pests look like black or grey dots (size of a pinprick)? I never would have noticed them until I looked EXTREMELY hard after I saw some yellowing on my dumb cane. I don’t have a magnifying glass but it doesn’t appear that they fly. Just teeny tiny dots that I can smush. Thanks!

This is my poinsettia that I’m trying to resurrect. All its leaves fell, and so I repotted it with fresh soil. I think the problem was that we overwatered it and never repotted it. i if anybody has experiences saving poinsettias, please do share!!!

I’ve had this little pilea for around a month now, and recently some of the bottom leaves are turning yellow and dying off. It might be just shedding of old leaves (since it still has new growth), but I wanted to see what y’all thought

HELP!! I got this Peace Lily 7 weeks ago at my mom’s funeral. The leaves keep turning yellow. On here it has said either too much water or not enough sun. I have moved it to my sunniest spot (although we are very cloudy this week), followed weekly watering guidelines, and used a grow light. On Thursday I removed yellow leaves and ran the grow light. Friday it looked perfect, and Saturday it had more yellow leaves than ever. How much should I water it each week? I am NOT good at keeping plants alive, but because of where I got it, I am desperate to succeed this time. Please help me!

This is a rescue I saved from extreme dehydration and too much sunlight. She likes her new spot, but is still slightly purple from the sunburn and I mean no hate towards her (but she’s just not very cute) she has tons of brown Ariel roots coming from everywhere and she just keeps growing more stalks instead of growing taller. Shes been healthy for a year now. Is she just an oddball or am I missing something?

Hi! I recently got this plant from a friend who’s going travelling, it appeared sick when I got it but hasn’t gotten any better. I cut off the completely dead leaves but I’m pretty sure it has fungus which I’ve never dealt with before! The leaves are curling and powdery, and some edges are brown and dry. I know this plant needs lots of sun and water, but I don’t know what else to do. There’s a few new growths which I think is good, but I need help!

Hi guys, purchased this beautiful Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane) and notices this on it’s edges :( it feels a bit crispy. I watered it once with distilled water because i read it could be build up of minerals. I looked for signs of thrips i didnt see any i use neem oil spray on the leaves and the base of the plant just in case. Should i cut the crispy edges with a scissors ?

Hi all! I just noticed my dieffenbachia has a hole thing on the side of the stem. I repotted it recently, but otherwise haven’t changed anything. Does anyone know what this is?
