Hi I’m having some issues with my Chinese Money Plant. It has small holes in the leaves, but I’ve checked, and there are no bugs. Also, the edges of the leaves on my Dracaena Trifasciata are turning yellow. Does anyone know what might be happening with my plants? Thank you!

I’ve had this baby rubber plant for over a year and she’s been healthy and easy. The leaves feel healthy but I noticed all this flakey brown stuff underneath half the leaves. Help!

Goodafternoon Planta community, Just planted some rudbeckias and a few shastas , They were on sale from seasonal at Home Depot, this is already week 1. I had pruned what I could to save them, but it’s starting discoloration to the root day by day. Am I overwatering or they are just too sick? I did a cow manure and topping soil mixture to help.

My climates has black brown ish leaves. Why?

Look at this harassment! The internet says “could be under watering or overwatering”. Super. How to tell without digging out the roots which are 15” deep into the soil?

New to caring for plants what could be wrong with this plant? Did I water too much or does it need to be repotted?

I’ve had this plant since the spring and every time it puts out a new leaf, another leaf dies. This has happened at least three times since April. What am I doing wrong?

Not sure what I’m doing wrong with this plant whether I’m over/under watering or what. The leaves tend to die and fall off trailing up the stem. I cut and propagated once and it’s still doing the same thing. I have majority of the stem pinned down to make it look more full and less viney.

I’ve inherited this insulin plant from my mom she’s kept it I the backyard in a shaded area for 5 year’s and is now about 5 feet tall and actually has a flower. My plan is to repot and possibly cut down or even propagate to have the plant more lush. I need some expertise to carefully do this. Any tips ????

Hey! My tomato plant has a few tomatoes but the stems and leaves are not going well at all. The past few weeks the leaves have turned yellow and a take them off every time but now it’s gotten to the point where there are so many of the yellow leaves. The stems have also just recently become brown and speckled. Any idea on what it is and what I should do? I thought it was overwatered so I haven’t been watering it unless it light rains and I have been giving it nutrients, but I don’t know what else to do. Please let me know what I should do.

I got this flamingo lily for my birthday a few weeks ago and placed it in Planta’s recommended spot in my house. I just noticed the flower on the right today; is this because it’s getting too much sun?

Tips on keeping squirrels / opossums away from my jade and other plants on a 2nd story balcony? Some creature (assumed squirrel since I know we’ve got a few in the area) keeps snacking on my jade and knocking other plants over. I don’t have a ton of space to work with to deter the squirrels and I have hummingbird friends that I do NOT want to scare off. Any advice?

Is this mold??? This is what the draining holes at the bottom of the 14”inch pot in which my Philodendron Red Congo lives. Should I dig him out and change the soil?
