Poor thing… my Butterfly Stonecrop has been infested with mealy bugs. I acted fast and treated him by putting rubbing alcohol on the infected leaves… I may have gotten a drop or two of it in the soil. Did I do the right thing??? 😢 😭

i’ve had this plant for a little bit now and i’ve noticed sometimes the leaves just look, translucent/weird? it’s a healthy plant producing tons of new growth with no other issues so i’m confused why it acts like that 🤣 -also wanted to note that i do fertilize the plant regularly and even tried to increase the potency to see if it’d help and it hasn’t

DISEASE ID HELP 🥺 I bought this evening primrose (oenothera fruticosa) at a native plant sale last year. It’s a perennial native to Maryland. Both this year and last year, it seems to have some sort of disease that causes the leaves to turn red and eventually die. Some of the flowers have been deformed as well. Help!

Why are the leaves turning yellow? I’m not sure if this plant needs a lot of light.

The tips of my air plant turned black after soaking yesterday. They were really pink, but now they’re black :( Did I over water this??

🆘!! I bought a gardenia bonsai online and she arrived about a week ago. She initially had a lot of buds, but they start to wilt and soon as they open and look like this (see photo) within a day of opening. She also had a few yellow leaves and I don’t think there are any more now than there were a week ago. I know gardenias are sensitive, so maybe she just needs some time to recover from the shipping and to get used to the new environment? I have her in indirect sunlight in a room that gets a ton of light. But what’s worrying me is that when I tried to use a moisture meter by her roots, I couldn’t even push it in there. The akadama around her is very loose and the water runs off immediately, but I’m concerned nothing’s actually making it to her roots. Under different circumstances, I’d take a look at her roots and repot her if needed. But since she’s so delicate, I’m concerned I’ll just do more damage. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks ahead of time! 🙏🏼

Hi all! So I've had this plant for a little while now and it's been doing really well for a good long while. Today though I checked on it to find damage all over two leaves. They're some of the newest leaves on the plant and the only change is that I put it in a different room for a couple of days...any idea what could have happened and what I should do? Thanks

Hi! I’m new to the group and app. I have this devil’s ivy I believe, and it was lush and green 2 weeks ago, now the vines and leaves are browining and falling off. I’m lost! How do I fix it? I’ve been watering minimally, keeping it in the window for light, I believe some of the vines could have been damaged in transporting the plant, is there anything I can do to save my baby?

I have a begonia Julau that has some leaf browning. After looking at possible causes, I think I overwatered it. I was leaving for a week and didn’t want it to dry out too much so I watered a little early. It’s in a high humidity environment too and is under a grow light that is 1.5-2 feet above it. Do y’all think I have diagnosed it properly? I noticed this morning that the newest leaf has a small brown tip too :/

I repotted my elephant ear (mixed alocasia) almost a week ago and 2 out of the 4 leaves are starting to turn yellow. I’m using regular potting mix with added perlite for drainage and aeration. Does anyone know why it’s looking sad? 😔

So I’ve had this plant for a while now, and I’ve always thought that it was a Moth Orchid, please correct me if I’m wrong 😊 I was watering a bit today and I saw the yellow leaf. I know that it’s normal for longer living orchids to have yellowing leaves. Should I pluck it off so there can be new growth? Also, should I repot this? 🫶🏻

Pinched this Dwarf Cavendish as a baby plant growing from my mums main cavendish plant. Repotted it into this terracotta pot last week but the leaves are starting to droop and turn brown. Been sticking with the Planta schedule. Am I missing something? In context, had one last year that grew healthily and suddenly dropped away and died over the winter so just making sure this new one survives!
