Hydrangeas from Whole Foods, got them a month ago, they were a GORGEOUS purpulish blue. The plant feels and looks healthy, besides this weird color it’s turning into (greenish greyish color) What does this mean? What can I do to revive the color back to a beautiful blue? Thank you in advance !
👋🏻 I got this zz cutting from a friend over two years ago. It hasn’t grown or changed in a long time. I thought maybe it was dead. This looks like a brain. Anyone know what’s going on here?
So for some reason my string of hearts decided to grow mushroom from the bottom, and they’re coming out the drainage holes. I took the plane out the pot to inspect the soil, there’s no root root or pests… does anyone know what’s going on?
Hey everybody! I have tons of plants and decided to challenge myself with a common ivy - Sarah. I bought her 3 weeks ago at Ace Hardware and she was gorgeous! Now lately my leaves are wilted, some crispies, and over time taking more and more leaves off. Now she looks bare! My guess I think it’s been overwatered too fast as I also had Planta do the scheduling for me and maybe too much sun? I live in a basement complex and I had her hanging until now. Can someone give me advice on this type of plant please! Thank you!
Recently brought home this silver dragon! The tips were yellowing like this when I brought it home, but hasn’t gotten worse, so I think I’m in the clear. What would have caused this?
Hello all, Last month I purchased predatory mites from Natures Good Guys and I seem to have many, many more spider mites all over my collection now than I did before. Do any of you use predatory mites ? And where do you buy them if so? I’ve been trying to clean up the infestation with alcohol and neem oil. Any tips would be appreciated.
Please help, plant fam!! The leaves on my Philo Congo Rojo have slowly started turning yellow and it’s getting worse, but she’s still got consistent new growth. Thoughts??
how do i get rid of the little fruit flies and nats? they keep eating my calandiva plant!
Does anyone know what to do about Lyme disease?
Hi everyone! My bonsai I purchased in September (unknown kind, didn’t come with care advice 😬) was doing fine until around May, and now is gradually dropping leaves. Why would it do worse in the summer?? Bonsais are outside of my limited plant knowledge…I think I’m overwatering, or is it not enough light? We’re in the US Midwest, the plant is next to a northwest facing window, and watering every few days as per Planta’s advice for a similar bonsai. Can it be saved? I’m always afraid of shocking the plant and making it worse by changing something too drastically. Thanks for any advice!
Ficus Audrey: Bought this 6’ ficus Audrey about a month ago and immediately noticed fungal gnats once I brought it home. Still trying to get rid of them with mosquitoes bit tea/soak about every 1.5 weeks and have yellow sticky’s in soil. Had to move it about 1.5 weeks ago to different house so it wasn’t continuing to infect my other plants with the fungal gnats. Gets brighter indirect light in this new location so I’m continuing to move it further away from the window (not sure if that’s the right thing to do). I let it dry out pretty well (more than half the length of the pot). Has adequate drain holes. There are these holes and brown/black spot on leaves and stems and seem to be increasing. Also noticed a larger black spot on underside of stem where it connects to leave on several leaves. These seem to be random and not on younger or older leaves. Any help is appreciated!!!!!
I’ve got a rubber tree that has a few spots like this on some of the leaves. I assume it’s sunburn from the adjustment period because I bought it from a garden section in a hardware store. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Pinch off the leaves? Or just leave them?
Does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying mosquitoes that hide in plants? last night i was trying to kill one, and I hit a leaf of my fiddle fig, obviously I apologized to my beautiful little plant but she keeps hiding them!!!
Hi, I have a terrible mushroom problem in my yard and in my gardens- brand new to home ownership and caring for a yard. I do have a weed service that cares for the lawn as well as one to handle pests but these strange mushrooms are everywhere and all different types. Also is there a way to determine if they are toxic to my pets or kiddos?
Hello, wondering if this can become a serious issue with my aloe veras. It has been raining a lot lately, but they are mostly covered. I just wanted to ask before I cut the damaged parts off. Thanks for any help you can give!
Anybody know the issue with my Alocasia ? Thanks
HELP PLEASE!!! Does anyone know why my Bonsai Tree’s soil is shrinking in the pot? I thought that it was an overwatering problem, but I haven’t watered if for at least 2 weeks. What’s the problem? What should I do?
Hi guys, I have this huge alocasia California that’s been growing crazy since I got her around 4 months ago. The problem is she also drops leaves like crazy. The stems will dehydrate and then droop until it eventually turns yellow. I thought I might’ve been a watering issue but I make sure she’s always moist throughout. There are no bugs or pests, and other than that she is really healthy. Would this be a fertilizing issue by chance? (White powder is diatomaceous earth)
Just got some hydrangeas and repotted them two days ago. Today the pink one was dying and I’m not sure what to do. Not sure why the blue one has discolored leaves as well but the flowers and stems seem strong. They are both in the same area. Any advice? Completely new to gardening, any advice helps. Thanks!!
i bought this to use on my sick succulents but i’m a little hesitant because i don’t want it to end up killing my plant babies. is this something i should use for fungus and pests?
