hey all!
im an experienced plant parent and watered things before i went out for the weekend - and was gone for about 4 days and my string of dolphins absolutely dug its own grave :( does anyone know anything i can do to help it improve - other than that not going to touch it and leave it out of direct sun for a while - probably stick it in my bathroom

Iâm new to plants, and my aluminum plant has been in ruff conditions for a bit. There is signs of new life finally but I was wondering if there could be something Iâm doing wrong, or if anyone has advice for me.

hi everyone! so I was gifted an avocado tree that was grown from the pit and potted and it was doing very well until a couple weeks ago. I noticed the leaves started browning a bit so I cut some off (I now know this was a mistake đ¤Śđ˝ââď¸) and in the following weeks the stem began to turn black at the base, and then the top. I got advice from a gardener I know who recommended I trim the stem as I had a second stem sprouting from the pit, in the hopes that one would flourish. itâs been about a week since I did this and the baby stem isnât showing much progress, wondering if anyone has advice about this specific issue or avocado plants in general? I literally cried when this started happening as I genuinely love this tree and Iâm not sure where I went wrong. I water when the soil begins to not feel moist and because I donât have much natural light I purchased a plant light.

Does anyone know what this little bug is? I was looking through my plantâs soil (various veggies) for fungus gnat larvae and suddenly started finding these little guys. About 1/4 inch long with spikes/hairs on his back. Looks kinda like a rolypoly but with spikes. They donât seem to be hurting the plants and could possibly be eating the gnat larvae (lately finding more of these guys and less of the gnat larvae but idk could be a coincidence. Still removing them regardless lol) if anyone knows, please let me know! Thank you <3

(fair warning- I am a new and inexperienced plant owner) My moon cactus is fairly new, but seems to be mushy and have some brown/black spots on the top. It is losing its color too. I have been watering it about every 2 weeks. I have not re-potted it, and the pot does have drainage holes. Is there anything I can do to save it?

Hiya, i have a succulent garden that has a few varieties in it currently. iâm worried one of the plants has rot but iâm unsure. iâve attached various pictures of the garden itself. Nothing has dropped any leaves and the hole is from a bear paw that was browning that i took out. If i need to i can separate all of them permanently but i just love how they all look togetherđđđ First picture is what i have a biggest concern with and the rest are more context for the pot
all plants in pot: bear paw, elephant bush (1 variegated, 1 non) california sunset, panda plant, ripple jade

Ponytail palm help!
I got my ponytail palm a few months ago and itâs been doing great! however, within the 2 weeks I started, noticing it the leaves are brown and squishy. There is also brown sap seeking out of its trunk. Am I over watering it? Iâve only watered in twice within the last 3-4 weeks. I put it outside to dry up a little but normally itâs inside.

Help! My green onions are developing these weird black lines with a thick white bordering line. Is this a pest? Are they salvageable?

Sister got this Money tree from a gal that said here take it. Yes, it was flooded in water and so I repotted in Money tree friendly dirt. This was 1 week ago. It has a clean new plastic pot inside this green pot and it has 5 drain holes.
Question is the roots were almost fully gone due to the fact that it only has small roots left .Does anyone think this can survive and regrow new roots here as seen?

Has anyone ever overcome stem rot in an indoor begonia? Do you know of any antifungal treatments that could help, or is it a lost cause? How worried should I be about the disease spreading to other plants?

Seems like something is eating my Wizard Rose. I canât for the life of me figure out whatâs eating it. The only thing Iâve seen on it is a small jumping spider, otherwise I havenât seen any other pests. Anyone have any insight as to whatâs eating it? Also any home remedies that might help this?

Not sure why I purchased this fiddle leaf with these spots. Anyone have any idea what causes these white spots? I donât see any bugs.
