My curly ivy is turning brown and drying up at the base, how do I stop it?

I have a hibiscus plant that’s been outside my house for years. We basically just ignore it typically cause it’s been growing fine on it’s own for so long. But lately I noticed this white stuff all over it. I treated it with an insecticide and neem oil over the last week or two and seen no improvement. Anyone know what this is and what I can do?? I don’t want this plant to die after being here for so long :(

Any ideas on what I can do to stop this??

Hi, I was having trouble with my Dracaena. I got really good advice here and she seems better. Someone recommended getting a grow light. Maybe she will be happier. Do you have any recommendations ? I’m looking for something small and not to expensive

I have no clue what is wrong with my calathea! It used to be very healthy but one day after giving it some new soil, it’s leaves started curling. The next day, more started curling and becoming yellow, droopy, and crispy. I had watered it the previous day after giving it new soil but it had not done anything. I cut away the yellow and curly leaves in hopes of it getting better; it did not. It continued yellowing and becoming crispy so I moved it to a shadier place, thinking it was getting too much sun. Eventually I moved it back to where it was; about eight feet away from my south facing window. As you can see it has two leaves left but they are both yellowing and getting crispy. Please help!! btw - I am newer to plants as I have just started caring for them in late January.

This stuff works amazingly on pests! I’ve had spider mites, aphids, and thrips issues before. Most of the time one treatment was enough. It smells like a fishy ocean, so use outside!

Anyone know what would be causing this? It’s on my golden pothos. I checked for spider mites and thrips and couldn’t see anything.

Anyone have a clue to what is this creature??? Found on my Birds Nest Fern. Tiny but it’s on my thumb appears to be a beetle maybe or?

Is the Planta advice for Cyclamen good? I received this plant for Valentine’s Day and had it in this location. The leaves were dark green and and the plant a beautiful shape. I have not had any indoor plants for years due to a child with allergies, but this little guy made me curious about them again. A friend recommended this app, and the app recommended I repot it from the metal pot with no drainage and put it closer to the window. I did that and everything seemed great for awhile, but a couple of weeks ago the leaves were curling and turning a bit yellow so I thought it needed water. Planta thinks I’ve overwatered and need to move it to a brighter application so I tried that and now it’s looking even yellower and getting this long stemmy look to it. Is it just in shock from the repotting and I need to be patient? I haven’t done any more extra watering than the one time but it gets really dry between when I follow Planta’s recommendation. Any advice us greatly appreciated!

She had spider mites.. Sprayed with soapy water (as per advice i was given) and she dropped three stems + leaves and looks like this now. These two stems don't feel squishy or anything anymore... Help! Pink Dragon or Pink Princess Alocasia.

I’ve had this Pothos for about a year and a half. I’ve recently noticed some brown spotting on the leaves, I’m wondering if anyone knows the cause or has any guesses?

Hi all! My monstera plant started developing a new leaf and it was brown. I left it alone for a bit to see if it would get less brown for some reason and it didn’t. This is what it looks like right now. Is there a reason I shouldn’t cut it off? Does anyone have any ideas as to what could’ve caused this?

Help! My houseleek shot up and was growing like crazy and I had no idea what to do with it and now the bottom seems to be dying off. I’ve been procrastinating doing something about it 🫠 any advice would be appreciated

recently my cat started to play with my peace lily's leaves, and they became ripped and moist and looking really sad. i am currently keeping the plant out of my cat's reach, but it is still not looking good. this plant is very sentimental to me and i would hate if it died. if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated 😁

This is my new spider plant. I’d like to keep it outside during the summer and bring it inside in like September or October. I’d be keeping outside at seasonal campsite in the summer. I’m worried about it getting bugs. I don’t want my plant to get infested or eaten and I don’t want to bring bugs home to my other plants. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to keep bugs away from my plant? I’m willing to use pesticides I’m just scared to spray it with something and it killing my plant. So I was wondering if anyone on here has used any that work to prevent bugs and didn’t damage the plants.

Hi :) Im a new Golden Pothos owner and I’ve had this plant about 4 days but after I had bought it I noticed it had many brown shoots. The stems are all firm and not squishy. And I’ve not watered it since I’ve had it. Overall the plant looks healthy but when you examine closer theres a few things I’m worried about. Any ideas of what the problem is and how to fix it would be appreciated :)

Hey y’all! I have a scindapsus exotica that I recently moved to a spot that gets more sun. She seems to be reaching out more and perking up, but I noticed a few of her leaves are less sparkly now! Is it getting too much Sun? My pothos love this spot so thought she would like it here too, but maybe I was wrong. Here’s a pic of one of the leaves that had lost almost all of its sparkle 😢. Have any of y’all experienced this?

Hi! I attempted to rescue this Alocasia silver sword from clearance. She had one leaf, which Planta said had leaf rot. Her roots look good and she looks like she has one or two new leaves wanting to grow. The stem is also green and firm. I trimmed the dead part of the leaf, sprayed her with neem oil and put her in water but she keeps turning more yellow. Can I save her?

My poor string of dolphins has been having a tough time! When I brought this plant home, I noticed an aphid infestation and weekly treated it with neem oil until they were gone. Then, several weeks ago, I noticed a spider mite infestation! For the past two weeks I have been weekly treating it with neem oil. Do you think my plant will recover? I don’t notice any pests on it now, but am nervous bringing it back indoors. Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
