Hi everyone!! I’m a newer plant owner and still learning my the ropes. I have this Lily that was doing great and growing a ton of new leaves but all of a sudden these spots have shown up on a few leaves. Can anyone recommend anything please?

Hi all! I’m a new gardener and got this peace Lilly about a couple weeks ago. I haven’t repotted it yet and have given it a fertilizer stick a couple days ago. Unfortunately some of its leaves and flowers are starting to die off I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it :( any ideas on how to help it?

The leaves on this plant recently all started browning and drying up! It does seem to be growing new leaves where the old ones died off. Any idea what’s going on?

Everytime a new leaf grows the oldest leaf dies. I've already lost one original leaf and this one is starting to brown idk what to do!!! She came water logged soil I changed the soil and she grew new leaves but I think I need to keep her soil wet instead of letting her dry out fully?

The tips of my snake plant are starting to roll in. One of them has even turned brown and seemingly dried up. I used to have the plant in a north-facing window then moved it to an area with direct sunlight from an east-facing window for a couple of weeks. It was more than 10 feet away from the window but still getting direct sunlight for a bit in the morning. I just moved it back to my north-facing window. Was the plant getting too much sun, or is this more of a watering issue?

Does anyone know what these are? They are attacking my honeydew, watermelon, and bell peppers. I am using neem oil but if there is something better, please let me know. I did spray the netting down for any bugs and washed all my plants as well as the concrete around it.

Hi all, can anyone help me identify what this is on the leaf of my peperomia polybotrya? These brown spots are 3D! A few other leaves have tiny brown spots (not raised) as well. It gets a good amount of sunlight (nothing too bright, and it’s indirect) and I wait until the soil is dry before watering (top couple inches at least, often it ends up being drier than that). I know the bit at the bottom of the leaf looks overwatered but I do wait until the soil is dry… anyway, my question is SPECIFICALLY about the raised brown bumps so please focus your comments on those! Thanks in advance! 💚

Should I be concerned about the holes in this leaf? I don’t see other holes really.

My Black Locust Bonsai Tree has lost all of its leaves. 😭 I grew it from a seed since January and I have no idea how to help get his leaves back or if they even have a chance of coming back. If anyone has any ideas and/or comments please let me know! I’m so upset about my poor guy. 🥺

Hey, I’ve never done this so I hope I’m doing it right! I have a gold dusted croton that I have just noticed has what I believe to be some mold on the soil. None of my other plants have this and I’m not sure how it happened or what to do. It is from Walmart so I’m not sure if that could be an issue! Would appreciate any tips or tricks!!

helpp my beloved monstera is not doing good. these black spots originally appeared with tiny white animals. i’m not sure if it’s a pest only issue or also some type of fungal/ root rot? i’ve been using neem oil and some baking soda water for the leaves and there’s no more pests but more leaves have gotten the spots. any other recommendations?? i’ve already lost so many new leaves :((

Is this sunburned? And if so, how do I treat it? Its a indoor plant and was left outside for an afternoon. It was in perfect condition until then. Thank you!

I need some help with my beloved variegated Hoya compacta. It was on my plant stand under the grow light that came with the stand, far away from a north facing window. I used Planta’s recommended watering schedule as a guideline of when to check the pot for dryness and would only water if the bamboo stick was dry. Fast forward to the last 2-3 weeks. I noticed the bottom leaves keep yellowing and then shriveling up. I looked at the roots - they were fine, but the soil seemed compacted at the bottom, so I put the repotted in a nursery pot with soil mix that drains well. I also moved it to my north facing windowsill. Unfortunately, none of the seems to be helping as I noticed two more leaves yellowing. Checked the root ball again today, seems fine. No pests seen either. Does it need a grow light with higher wattage? Need different soil? Something else? With fall quickly approaching, I know the natural Sunlight will decrease in my home, so I want to get this taken care of.
