Help! My curly spider, Shirley has brown tips…is it from over or under watering…or something else. I water her according to the Planta app.

Perhaps a dumb question but what are these little whiteish yellow specks on my soil? They come out of nowhere and its on two of my plants

Lemon Plant Help This lemon plant means a lot to me emotionally and I would hate to have it die. Could I get some assistance on better care for this lemon plant? Or what is going on with it? I repotted it but it is still suffering. I water it every few days to keep the soil moist and sometimes more frequently depending on the heat. I put it outside during the day to soak up the sun and bring it into my garage overnight. I live in zone 6 so it’s far from ideal conditions but I am trying my best. Anything helps!

my rubber plant has had it rough- she lost most of her leaves. after repotting and checking for pests and root rot, i noticed her leaves are really droopy even after a good watering (which later drained). please give me advice to save my girl!

What's the issue with my cherry tomatoes? The plant has more. Can they be saved?

Bought this cat palm from Home Depot and it looked great when we first brought it home. We clearly have not been doing something right because he looks so sad now. Please help! Planta says it’s overwatered so I’ve been paying close attention and letting it dry out a little further before watering again. I tried trimming back the dead and dying parts in hopes that would help and none of those leaves have grown back. Maybe I need to change the location? Does anyone have any thoughts? 😔

I rescued this orchid plant the other day and have no idea what to do. They end of the stem is dry and shriveled but the base seems to be healthy. I gave him a drink of water today but beyond that, should I repot him? Should I clip off the dead end? Will his flowers come back? I could use some input.

I have had a moth orchid for the last year. Well, yesterday I noticed that the stem is starting to wilt and turn yellow. I have done the same things I have always done and I’m unsure why my plant has started to wilt. If anyone could give me some guidance to help keep my plant from dying, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Need some help determining if anything is wrong with my croton. I recently repotted on the advice of a local shopkeeper. It has just looked very thin for such a long time and doesn’t retain its leaves, although it has no problem sprouting new ones in the summer. Before this it had 10 dead leaves on top of the soil in the old pot. Anything I can do to promote healthier growth?

Does my plant look okay? Some of the old leaves don’t look as bright as the new ones. Also does anyone know if I need to add anything to the soil other than water?

Hi Everyone, I’m having trouble in my flat with small black flies and I believe they are coming from a plant? Could anyone help with what I should do to get rid of them and prevent them please? Thanks :)

Hey all, any thoughts on the yellowing tips? Plenty of indirect sunlight. Regular watering but trying to avoid too much. Using tap water. TIA!

my coleus leaves have been turning pale yellow with speckles? i water it almost every day during the summer and have it in my backyard that gets bright light but with a lot of shaded tree cover i think this probably isn't much of a concern but i'm not sure if this is normal or not

What is causing my plant to look like she’s bleeding?! She has been battling thrips for a few weeks now, which I have been treating, but would that cause this or something else? And all the newer leaves are getting these reddish splotches…

I planted this butterfly bush about 5 weeks ago, it was doing well at first and kept blooming and now it seems to still be growing with lots of buds that are not blooming and the leaves still look green and perky; however the inside of it does not look good. Is it rotting? Any help appreciated!
