So I bought this from the discount section at Lowe’s today. I liked the pot and thought I’d see if I could save the plant (anthurium, I think? 🤔). But I’m not sure where to start. Should I water it & see how it looks in a couple days? Then decide how/if to chop? 🤔🤔🤔

Hey there, I’ve had this blue gecko colocasia for about two months now. It pushes out new growth like crazy but the leaves will eventually develop a sort of white speckling on them and eventually will yellow and wither away. It’s not powdery mildew since I can’t wipe it off at all. But I’m worried it’s another disease, does anyone have any idea why this could be? Is there any hope 🥲

Hi! I’m new to owning a Monstera so does anyone know why some of my leaves are turning yellow and then dying out? I only water every 2 weeks (per what I have been told) could it just be normal?

Can anyone tell me why my bromeliad flower has never opened up? Is this a different sub-species or something? I water it based on what Planta tells me and I have a grow light on it.

Hi guys! Is the best way to remove leaf leaves to pull them off or should I cut them? This is my Chinese evergreen 🥰 she’s had better days

My poor spider plant did so great in its first few months of life but it’s been this small and sad since August which is crazy since they usually grow so fast! It had been propagating in this window but I moved it when I potted it since Planta said it was too much sun. But I just moved it back to the window a couple days ago and repotted it with fresh soil (the roots were pitiful). Any other tips of what I can do to help it thrive?

My Pothos n’joy was thriving and after a repot due to gnat infestation it’s drooping and blackening on the leaves. Is this fixable? If so any advice?

Recently got a black velvet alocasia and it looks a bit droopy. Should I be concerned for this plant? -One leaf is turning yellow, but it looks like it’s trying to grow another leaf. From what I’ve seen, that should be normal. -It doesn’t smell bad, so I don’t think there’re root rot, but should I check just in case? Thanks for the help!!

Hey y’all, my mango plant Theodore’s leaves are starting to brown and I have seen little growth for the past week, the plant is about 8 inches tall and was transplanted from a soft pot to a hard pot about a week ago. Any tips?

Hi all! Need help with my moss plant. Was beautiful when I got it. I guess I didn’t water it too much and was treating it like succulents. I was afraid of overwatering it. It’s in a clay pot which I didn’t realize absorbs a lot of water. Is there any hope of revival?

Hello! I just had a question about my monstera! She has been doing awesome since I got her (about a year ago) but suddenly her bottom leaves have all started yellowing. I haven’t changed the watering schedule or anything. Any ideas?

The pic on the left is my girl Brenna (Fairy Elephant’s Feet) when I got her a week ago. Pic on the right is today. It started doing this yesterday so I moved it assuming it wasn’t getting enough direct sunlight. Where am I going wrong? Is the pot too big? Is she salvageable?🥺
