Pothos Pal

Can anyone help me? My peace lily has a lot of brown, dead leaves, and only a single flower I also think the leaves might be droopy. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I’ve noticed all the new growth I’ve gotten on my snake plant since I got it a few years ago, the leaves are curled like this and I can’t seem to figure out why the leaves aren’t growing straight like the rest of the plant. Is it wilting? But only some of the leaves?

My alocasia purple sword just keeps declining since bringing her home and I’m not sure why. I thought at first it was from repotting her from peat moss (how she came) to my chunky mix but she’s already lost two leaves and now every leaf even her new growth is drooping and yellowing and starting to die. I’ve only watered her once and she’s about due for another. Her roots were perfectly healthy. She’s under a grow light for about 6-8 hours a day. Idk what to do!

Fiddle Leaf Fig

My fiddle leaf fig has been displaying some dark brown discoloration on the leaves. She gets east sun (morning sun) and she’s in the window. She gets watered every 7-9 days and fertilizer (general indoor) every month. We have a humidifier operating in our plant room (living room). Any help would be appreciated.

I’m pretty sure this is an Alocasia Pink Dragon, please correct me if I’m wrong! I actually found it at Walmart, but they had it listed as a Pink Princess Alocasia which I know is not a real plant. Why are the leaves turning yellow/brown/pink and spotty? Any tips/advice please? Thank you!💚

Anybody have any ideas of what might be going on with my white princess philodendron? Planta suggested overwatering, but I really doubt that is the case. The soil is mostly dry and it has not been watered in 16 days. It doesn’t look like a sign of under watering to me. Thoughts?

I picked this plant up a couple of weeks ago and I’ve noticed a lot of this white stuff on it. Is this some kinds of pest or fungus? Pollination? It’s falling off the plant and getting all over the top of my book case. Also, any idea what kind of plant it is? Thanks!

Fungus gnats are starting 😔 I bought a bag of mosquito bits to add to my watering can to water my plants. What water to mosquito bits ratio do you guys recommend for a bits tea? Thank you in advance!

I love my little Zz plant. She's placed on the stairway which is low light. I was wondering why the soil looked like this. I noticed it on the snake plant I got from easyplant as well. It's not due to the company because they didn't arrive like this. Just want to know if location of the plant can be causing this. I appreciate your feedback. I am noticing that the soil is super moist on top could that be the cause? I filled the planter and haven't had to touch it sense but I'm wondering if I should only fill it halfway next time instead of the recommended full thing.

Does anyone know what these scuffs could be? Humidity? Transplant? Too much light? I had a hard time with this El Choco Red. It arrived in a bad condition and had so many long mature leaves but it was very root bound so I repotted it months ago, but lost all its 5-6 leaves at the time. I then discovered a swamp of little critters in its new soil (fungus gnats, spider mites and springtails) and immediately took it out, chopped the long chonk to propagate and added the only leaf standing in water, then transferred to semi-hydro once grew some roots. Popped a new leaf in water but smaller size, and now it’s working on a new leaf. Is it fair to say this plant has been through a lot or could I improve its conditions and environment to avoid these leaf scuffs. Thanks🌱✌️

Ya’ll i need help. She’s a ‘Pink Allusion’ Arrowhead and i THOUGHT that the veins were just pink but i noticed the other leaves and the pink they have in the vein area, this isn’t pink it’s more brown… I have a plant light right above her and a few other plants, so i’m thinking wayy to much light where it’s direct light on her. I just watered her yesterday after waiting days until her soil was, not completely dry, but dry enough to water again. If anybody has any ideas please let me know!

I have a passion vine and I have started seeing white spots on the front of the leaves and brown dots on the back of the leaves. Does anyone know what this is?

*RANDOM THOUGHT* Never in a million years would I have thought that my YouTube and google searches would be flooded with “can pothos grow in water” or “how to care for my pothos plant” or “healthy pothos in water” 😂😂😂 Good Day All!!
