Hey guys. My Hoya publicalyx which is growing GREAT, she keeps pushing out tendrils and multiple leaves at the same time, she’s been in the same spot for a while ans gets good light. She’s acclimated and all that jazz, watered properly and has no pests (at least none u see) and this morning I noticed one of her long time tendril is turning orange. What can this be? Any help appreciated… She’s a gorgeous girl, she hugs herself a lot and sometimes let go as you can see at the top. Very happy plant

Is this scale? It doesn’t scrape off. Been treating with insecticidal soap spray and neem oil spray. It’s a monstera albo cutting. I’ve had it ~ a month and noticed this about 2-3 weeks ago. Not on any other plants. Should I try to remove them with tweezers?

Trying to save this triostar… I got it from a dollar store for $5 and it was so unhappy. It had many leaves but all of them half brown and crispy and all the leaves had hard water stains on top. I made the mistake of repotting it right away, but I did it anyway because I did not trust whatever was in that dollar store soil 😅 After a couple of weeks of settling in the new pot I cut down all the brown leaves and browned new growths. So sad, but even some new growths that looked kind of ok on the outside, were brown inside… maybe rot?? Not sure yet… I left the ONE leaf and the one new growth that looked good… This was around a month ago, still no signs of it getting better, but also no signs of it getting worse… other than that one leaf looking a bit droopy… If that one leaf dies, is there anything else I could do to save this plant? Would it regrow from nothing? I am not sure what to do next, just keep an eye on it? Ps: I used a soil mix with good drainage, I am using only filtered water, and I added some coco coir on top of the soil which I mist regularly to keep the moisture up + the pebble tray under the pot (my apartment is pretty dry now that the heaters are on). I appreciate any tips :))

I think my carrot fern has root rot, so I bought some 3% hydrogen peroxide mix to trend the roots. But I’ve never used this before? Can someone please tell me the best way to go about it? Thanks ahead of time! 💚

I've had this plant since November. I repotted it and it's been so difficult to manage. I fed it water yesterday in hopes it would come back to life. Any tips or advice? Does she have a chance of survival? What am I doing wrong!? Please help!!!

Does the Aralia Fabian stump have a dormancy mode? About 2 weeks ago I moved from Atlanta to Boston and most of my plants did pretty well with the move but my Aralia Fabian lost all of her leaves and some of her stems are a little mushy. There’s really not much to do at this point, I just want to know if anyone has experienced this and if there is hope?

I just adopted this snake plant and it’s got some spots that look a bit rough! Any thoughts on what’s caused it, and how can I heal it?

So this Elephant Bush aka Portulacaria Afra has just dropped 11 leaves. One photo is from 11 days ago. The other two are from today, with and without encircled leaves. I’m guessing it’s a sign of too much water, but open to other comments if you’ve had any similar experience. PlantyAnn??Thank you in advance.

Hi. This Monstera Albo had root rot previously , I was able to save it by cutting back and placing her in water with pothos and it grew those roots. They’re now turning brownish and I don’t know if I should just plant it in soil at this point.

Does anyone know what the issue with my fern is? It’s in a position where half of it gets good light and the other half gets a bit less and this part is in the shadier spot. Is that it? I’ve looked for pests and mites and there don’t seem to be any and the rest of the leaves are doing fine.

Guys! My plants are dying left and right… this one is fairly old, and has a “history” with me. She at first had root rot, fixed that and then she wanted more water. Now I have no clue what she wants. Any ideas? Thanks 😊
