Does anyone have an idea as to why my plants’ leaves are browning? Could it be lack of sunlight or fresh air? or over/ under watering? i always poke the soil to see if it needs water and then water them until the soil dosnt absorb the water as quickly. also both have drainage at bottom.

Does anyone know what is wrong with my fishbone plant? I got it off Etsy, it came as one plant but it’s obviously two different put in one pot. One is perfectly fine and healthy but the other isn’t. When I first got it I thought maybe the seller cut off brown tips, but now that I’ve had it a few months, the two new leaves the “bad” side has put off are disfigured. It doesn’t have any pests. Any help would be appreciated!! Thank you!

Can my Silver Dragon be saved? It got underwatered. I watered it and then the leaves perked up and dried out. Not sure what to do.

I recently bought a pink fittonia from my local Walmart and it hasn’t been looking how pictures usually do. My fittonia keeps drooping and its leaves curl and it seems to have a fading or pale color. I’ve been watering it and leaving it in different levels of sun to see where it does best and nothing has been working, I want to keep it alive but I don’t want to spend more money, any advice?

My fiddle leaf fig unfortunately has fungus gnats, and there’s a lot of information on getting rid of them which can be confusing. Can anyone give me simple, easy ways that don’t involve spending a ton of money?

Can anyone help me same my flaming Katy? The app said she needed more water but I follow the water schedule from the app and she was thriving at old place (we moved 2 weeks ago). She got a bumped on the transfer and lost some leaves but then her flowers started losing color and browning/drying. I’m at a loss and don’t wanna lose her if possible!

Spider mites!! I have been fighting these little buggers forever on my poor plant. Every time I think I have smited them, I see their little webs back in about a month. Poor Ethel is taller than I am so there are many places for the mites to hide from me. I really worried I might not win this war. Ideas for battling such tiny creatures on a large plant like Ethel? Thank you!

What causes the brown spots/tips on a peace lily? Should I trim the tips? How do I treat it? I got this when my mother passed away in July.

Can anyone advise what these spots on my impatiens may be? These are 2 different pots- potted them Easter weekend 😏 Edited to add: they have grown since they were potted so they seem to be healthy otherwise.

Hello there Hoping someone might be able to give me some advice for my poorly philodendron white wave! He generally seems to be otherwise well but the new central leaf is looking extremely sad - brown and crispy - and I’m not sure what’s wrong with him? Grateful for any advice y’all can offer 💛🌱 Thanks in advanced :)

This is my second guzmania. Everything says it’s an easy plant but I cannot keep them alive! Is this salvageable?

Help!! I just found these little bastards in the soil at the base of my Parlor Palm. Where did they come from?? Is it possible my other plants are infected too? This plant is currently on its own shelf, but previously was next to another plant. I’m going to do a full soil strip and soap soak tomorrow to get rid of them and any eggs. 😣 very concerned and grossed out! Please advise.

Hey guys, I have this big happy beautiful pathos but these singular two leaves in the middle are yellowing, what could be causing this and is it reversible?

Does anyone know why my Christmas cactus has this purple color showing through? The old but new growth that is separated from the bigger cactus is the only area that I see a different color, the rest of the plant looks fine. Any tips or suggestions or help?

I got this orchid not too long ago, it is my first orchid and I’m not sure what’s wrong here. Is the light too bright for the flowers? But there’s also these holes on the leaves. I’m just not sure what’s happening. It is just warming up outside here and it’s been pretty dry in my house too so I don’t know how that affects it. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated!

I bought a bird of paradise and a Dieffenbachia . Both have dying new leaves . Is it due to a lack of light of overwatering ?
