I’m about to take a risk lol :). Think it’s time to repot my rubber tree, but it’s actively growing right now. The problem is, this was my first plant, and I forgot to put a plastic pot in the ceramic one when I bought it. So I’m assuming by the little guys poking out of the bottom that it may be getting slightly root bound. Wondering if I should repot or leave it be until the end of summer? :)

I recently got a Jade Plant but some of the leaves are drying out (even if I’m following the instructions of watering it every two weeks). Also, some of the leaves are a bit damaged but I wouldn’t want to cut all the damaged ones, what should I do?

Good morning! Does anyone have any idea why roots sticking out of the bottom of the pot could have fuzzy stuff (I’m assuming mold) on it? It’s on my snake plant..

I recently bought a peace lily and almost overnight all the leaves and flowers have drooped and some leaves are starting to turn yellow, I watered it a couple days ago so doubt thats the issue but im not too sure whats up, just looks depressing 😪

My Peace Lily was brought back to life and repotted about two months ago. She’s been doing very well, but I’m now seeing these little worms and the tips of her leaves are turning brown. Any idea what these are, and what I should do?

Sorry, very hard to get a good photo but I was checking my parlour palm today after it had been recovering from poor lighting and I found this. Is this spider mites? Whatever it was I think is dead now. But there’s a few white bits elsewhere on the plant.

Help…please 🫠 This baby was totally fine but about the same size for a little over a year. So I repotted her and moved her outside but I seemed to have done something wrong. Can I save her?

Help!! I don’t know what is wrong with my plant. I know it needs watered at this current moment, but it’s been acting like this for months. I’m honestly surprised that it’s still alive. I cut off some of the worst brown and yellow leaves, but it has been looking so poorly 😭😩

Help! My monstera adansonii journey has been so up and down. I believe I posted about it before because it was a little crinkly with some yellowing tips. After that, I got a small humidifier that I put next to it, and it’s under, but not directly under a grow light. It started putting out a couple new leaves quickly, so I thought we were doing good. But today I noticed the one large newer leaf with yellow and browning, and the newest leaf has so few fenestrations. The soil did feel really dry today, so I’m watering it right now, but any thoughts as to what else? I looked really closely with my phone flashlight and don’t see any signs of pests 😢

So my husband found a plant where he works and brought it home for the pot only…but I took it upon myself to try and save it…there is still greenery and the roots were somewhat still alive…I saved what I could and replanted a couple things…but by the looks of it…am I just wasting my time and maybe I should just throw it out or is there any hope for it? Let me know if you guys have brought back plants from the dead…thank you 🫤🤔 Haven’t a clue what it is.

I have a snake plant and the tip of the leaf was starting to turn yellow and dry out. I know that this can happen from over watering. Should I leave it alone or is there anything else I can do

Hey everyone! I just bought this fig tree and saw these leaves after I brought it home. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hiya, My poor Meyer lemon has been battling a mites infestation for basically its whole tenure with me. We’ve tried washing each leaf, insecticide sprays, hosing down, and at the most extreme point removing it from the pot, hosing down and scrubbing with dawn from root to leaf, cutting off basically all its branches and scrubbing down its pot and then repotting in fresh soil. No dice. They’ve always returned, so now I just treat it weekly to a misting of lightly soapy water and do a monthly scrub down of each leaf and stem. This has managed to keep it pretty content and even flowering just no fruit which is fine. BUT, today during our monthly spa session I noticed two of these on the underside of leaves. It doesn’t look like mealy bugs, or Thrips eggs but what on earth is it?? I scrubbed it off and really sprayed that area but any identification help is greatly appreciated!

I am not sure what type of orchid this is (I’ve attached a picture of it when it had flowers), but I have had it for about 3 months now. I received it as a gift and . It’s been doing pretty well, however recently the end of the branch/stem is turning yellow and brown. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to stop this???
