Curious if anyone can help with my string of pearls - other than a few bright green pearls in the middle of the pot, the rest of the plant has started shriveling up. It was previously one of my healthiest plants so I’m at a bit of a loss. Are the shriveled strings salvageable, or should I cut them off and let the healthy middle part regrow?

I need help- my snake plant just dropped a leaf. The others look totally alright, so I’m not that worried, but I want to know what caused it to prevent it in the future. Also, my Peace Lily has been dropping flowers faster that rain. The leaves have some dry black tips, but otherwise they are doing pretty good. They are standing tall, and both my Peace Lily get bright, indirect afternoon sun. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know what this guy might be? It’s on my Thai and it’s the only one I’ve seen. I killed it but wanna know if I should take preventative measures.

Hello! I’m currently fighting against gnats (summer has barely started here!). I’ve tried peppermint oil spray (didn’t work), am using those yellow sticky traps but aren’t sure what else to do. I’m finding conflicting information online. I have a peacock plant, an evergreen, a banyan tree, pothos, and a jade plant, monstera and calla lily that are all affected. PS bottom watering hasn’t deterred them either Any advice? Miracle products?

I have a Pilea and it was watered a few days ago. I pulled the plant out of its pot just to take a look at the roots and I noticed they were on the browner and softer side and I just want to know if that’s due to being watered. I don’t water very often and I let it dry out almost completely before watering again and nothing seems to be wrong with the plant. It’s thriving! Does this seem normal?

My poor ficus elastica is dropping leaves like crazy. I assessed for water-log/root rot and both checked out. She’s pushing out a new leaf but I’ve never lost 3 substantial leaves like this due to new growth. Any thoughts?

Can anyone identify these pests on my calla lily? For context, she’s in a large terracotta pot on a west facing balcony in Southern California.

Does anyone know what this bug is and what process I should go through to make sure none of my other plants have it?

Does this white powder on the leaves look like powdery mildew to you all or just normal markings on my neon pothos?

My ant plant is growing aggressively away from the sun - i’ve never seen this before! His leaves are also yellowing (middle of plant in photo). He’s on a windowsill, west-facing, in North Carolina summer temps, any ideas on what’s happening?

I planted 2 begonias last Monday. This program cannot even pick up that it is a begonia. So they may be dead. Is there anything I can do to save them?

I have a white bird of paradise which I recently bought. I think it has been overwatered. I’m planning on repotting with potting mix/orchid bark/perlite. Should I water it immediately after repotting or should I wait?

We all know PPPs don’t know how to plant properly. She lives under a grow light and gets around 50% humidity. I had her in a slightly more humid area before, but she was dropping lower leaves because the light was wonky. The tips of two new leaves have been absolutely stagnant for around two weeks. I try to treat her like my other philos and water when she’s around 75% dry. Halp?

What’s going on with my golden sedum? It has these reddish splotches near the bases of the stems that usually face the window it sits in (recently, though, I’ve been trying to remember to rotate it so each side gets even sunlight). It also has this dry-looking spot on a leaf on the other side. Today, I noticed one of the leaves had fallen off. There’s no way I’m overwatering it; I always let the soil dry out so I water it about every 2 weeks. Am I underwatering it? It’s in a southeast-facing window that stops getting direct sunlight in the early afternoon, so is a lack of sunlight the problem? Please help, I have a bad track record with succulents and I don’t want this one to be my next victim!

Every time I try to grow a new succulent from another succulents leaf everything goes fine until the original leaf dies and so does the little plant that is attached. What am I doing wrong?
