Elephant bush keeps dropping leaves and a lot look rough. Anyone know what could be causing it? The ones that fall tend to be pretty “mushy”

Hello! I've been trying to grow my basil but it looks like it's drooping. How often should I water it? Is this a sign of too much water or not enough? It's always on the window getting direct sunlight. Should I change the pot it's in? Might it be parasites/bacteria? I would like to know what might be wrong and how I can improve taking care of it I'm new to this thank you in advance!

Some sort of worm..

Help! Not sure what’s going on with the plant, ever since I brought it home from the store leaves have been drying up and falling. I repotted the plant and trimmed off some dead and weak roots. I noticed it’s getting more black streaks and it’s still drying up and dying despite regular watering. Also I noticed the perlite turns brown in this plant but my other plants don’t do that. (This isn’t where I keep the plant. Just placed it here for the pics) any help would be great. Thanks!

I recently noticed one part of my Money Tree looks like it’s dying but the other stems seem fine. Should I look into removing it or is it fine to leave? Any tips on how to help are appreciated!

Is this cystoliths on my Piper crocatum? It wasn’t there yesterday. Wipe off with my finger and feels like extremely fine granules.

Is this what I think it is? And if so please help me kill them for good. I’ve tried everything and they keep popping up on random plants.

Is this okay lighting for my money tree? I had it close to my window but the leaves were getting burnt so I now have it in the corner and tried to rotate it so the leaves would turn, however now a lot of his leaves are turning yellow and falling off! Any thoughts? (The AC in the picture is never on!)

Hi, I keep finding my vegetable plants bitten like this. Some other victims are beans, pumpkin, eggplant, and pepper plant. Would this be deer damage or something else?

my little peace lily is drooping :( is this overwatering/underwatering or a light problem? my instinct is to water her since the soil is a little tiny bit dry but the leaves don’t look dry at all. what do you think?

Begonia leaves start beautiful and then start to look like the one on the right and then fall off. What’s happening?! 😩

Help me on this one all I did was repot my Monstera in Orchid bark , pearl lite, Coco core, . I gave it a little bigger pot. I watered it and I left for two days and I came home to these leaves looking this pathetic what is going on? Help me someone what do I do to resurrect this plant? Should I just cut the top parts off put them in water to get some fresh roofs and just go with that?

Hi everyone! I’m new to this app and to plants. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong with two things! 1- my plants app will not let me take a picture of my apps it’s just a black screen everytime I try. 2- how can I help this plant? I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.
