the bottom leaves of my kalanchoe have been falling off slowly over the past few months. I wait to water until the leaves are not as firm, and then always check to make sure the soil is completely dry. it sits in an east facing window. any idea what might be happening?
So I’ve had this “dumb cane” plant for about 9 months now. When I first got it, it was thriving and didn’t want to stop growing. It grew so big that one day I decided to repot it since it was growing so big and healthy. Well this turned out to be my big healthy plants demise. Immediately after the repotting it shed half its leaves (15 leaves in total). You can see this now as the bottom half of the plant is bare now with dead stem marks all over it. Months pass it’s still not doing well, leaves that used to shoot out and open in a single day or two are now taking a week or more to open. Lately it’s been doing ok the leaves that are there are mostly green, but there’s still leaves dying and the new ones are opening very slowly. But now today I notice there’s now what appears to be mushrooms growing out of the soil!!!! Im not sure what to do and it kinda of grosses me out. Should I finally give up on this once super healthy plant? I feel that it will never look like it once did. You can see the drastic difference from when it was healthy in its old pot, to today.
What are these little white spots all over my mother of 1000? Does anyone know? They don't seem to be moving and they don't look like mealy bugs. I think I'm going to do the alcohol and Q-tip thing anyway.
Bird's Nest Fern is growing big but started developing brown spots on leaves. Any advice? I've had her about 6 months, 3-6 inches under a grow light. She's in a 4" drainage pot with coco coir based substrate. Watering according to Planta, but thinking it might be too much,roughly once a week.
Moved this bad boy outside and it has been rehabilitating so much better but this new sprout is a weed right? Just double checking before I yank it out
Are these roots healthy? It looks off to me and on the bottom the root seems fuzzy as if there’s mold on it. I rinsed off all the soil and cleaned it really good and repotted her into a bigger pot Edit: oh and these were a bunch of little round things all in the soil, you should be able to see it in the pictures
HELP! What is causing this!!
Please help.. Had to remove several yellow leaves from my Pothos. No idea what’s going wrong.
Mealy bugs again! Different plant this time and this one wasn't anywhere near the one that had it last time. I guess they're just going to be the bane of my existence. Lol. At least I thankfully have a lot of success with getting rid of them and an extra bathroom for quarantine. Lol
I seem to have mealy bugs on my fairy washboard succulent but I can’t really see them or get to them because the leaves are compact and aren’t flexible… Any tips on how to deal with it and where to put it for the time being?
Any thought on what could be causing this dark spot on my moonlight philodendron? This started appearing after I moved the plant from a window to under a plant lamp, but I don’t know if that has anything to do with the issue. Thanks!
can anybody please tell me why some of my nerve plant leaves are turning like this? I dont think its because overwatering but maybe light? Please let me know
Help🥲 this is my moms bonsai tree and we don’t know what to do/whats wrong with it. A couple weeks ago we got back from being out of town and it looked like this, since then we’ve refreshed the soil, watered it, put down fresh moss and then left it alone. Any thoughts? It’s in a northeast facing window and gets pretty bright indirect light for the majority of the day.
Please help? The little holes have been there since I got this guy about 3 months ago. But this one leaf is turning colors. Do I cut off the dead piece or is it really dead? Anything I can do?
Are these spider mites or something else? Sorry I can’t get a decent picture. Best way to treat them??
New to plants. Any advise on pests?
So this little guy is inside a greenhouse. Today, I sealed my big greenhouse and was going to do the same with my little one. I was going to open it and take the plant out, I saw a tiny white insect crawling on the leaves. Now Im scared to open it. The plant looks healthy tho. What should I spray this with just to be safe before I take it out? 😬😬😬
Hello there! I currently have been having some mysterious looking spots on my cebu blue pothos. Now the soil is a little too damp so it might be that and I have fungus gnats. And the little marks could be soil as the soil is the miracle gro indoor plant one and its very light and tends to get everywhere. Anyways, I’m hoping this isn’t thrips as I have been putting a mix of neem/peppermint castille soap/rubbing alcohol/water spray on it as well as my other plants. They do wipe off easily if that means anything 🤷♀️
Just got this today from Planta. It’s a dark black spot all the way through the leaves. ??
Hey yall! I was all excited about my new Alocasia Polly having great new growth and 2 new shoots/ possible new leaves (Picture 1). But last night a whole seemingly healthy leaf just fell off? Im attempting to propagate it though I’ve never done anything like this with an Alocasia (Picture 3). However it also has 2 droopy and seeming to be getting wrinkly shoots on the same stalk as the new ones? (Picture 2) Does it possibly need to be repotted so that it can keep old leaves as well as new ones? Or is this just normal for this plant?! Not wanting to freak out but really wanna help my new baby. 😅 Thanks in advance, Plant mom who is totally NOT freaking out. 🤣
