Can anyone help me please!!!! My plant was so beautiful for the first 6 months after I brought him home, I was taking proper care and then all of a sudden it just started dying out of the blue. I’ve watered, waited to water, given vitamins and electrolytes and nothing has helped. I have been watering it on a fixed schedule as to not drown it. Please help this is one of my favourites 🥲

Accidentally knocked a leaf off my dipladenia; what is this milky substance and will my baby be okay?

Are the brown spots on my ruby ficus normal or fungal maybe? It seems to be spreading to other leaves but I’m not sure how to treat it because I can’t tell from googling it exactly what might be causing it. Bright indirect light and I don’t think I’ve been letting it get too dry or watering it too much. Could be wrong though!

Okay, guys I’m officially stumped! All of my pothos are sad. I’m finding new growth that’s warped and curled with brown spots, and my largest has odd brown spots of what appears to be dirt but is definitely not dirt. The watering schedule hasn’t changed and I can’t find any new pests ( there’s just a residual fungus gnat colony which I’m not concerned about) they have had spider mites in the past, but I did treat them for two months and found no issues. Do your guys have any ideas? It’s really frustrating! Thanks in advance💚

Recently reported him as he was very root bound and needed a bigger space to grow. Since then he’s developed these 2 very soft spots on one of his leaves, which is causing that leaf to die. Can someone explain to me what I need to do to fix this as I don’t want him to die over something I can solve.

Is this fungi on them? They were exposed yesterday… and if it isn’t, how long should I wait to put it with my other plants?

I was gifted these air plants and I have noticed small white dots on them. They do not look like mealy bugs? Should I be concerned?

So I recently got this ponytail palm from target. And all its leaves have rotted off for some reason. I had one before and it thrived :-( Is this plant a lost cause now ?

Looking for some insight. I’ve had this little greenhouse under a grow light and everything inside has been happy here for months. Now in the last few days everything is looking terrible- the string of pearls has mushy looking pearls, the sedum is getting weird spots and parts are falling off, the Chinese money plant leaves are curling and yellowing… I’ve changed nothing about this set up since I put it all together. I keep the door open so it isn’t too humid inside. I make sure things actually need watered before watering. Any ideas on what is going on?

Sorry I didn’t get pictures but two separate times I watered my calathea, 1 or 2 dead millipedes fell out the bottom of the pot. Is this a bad sign? What should I do? I did buy it from a green house and it was on the floor so I guessed they had just crawled into the bottom and died. But I could be wrong.

Does anyone know what this white powder is on my paddle plant? For a while I’ve just thought it was the natural color but it wipes off when I touch it so I’m second guessing myself.

I just watered my monstera to find several baby centipedes scatter across the soil! Any way I can get rid of them by avoiding a repot?? Please help!!

I’m having a terrible fungus gnat problem and i just know the best to get rid of them is to change out all of my soil. this is what i get for trying to go cheap on my soil 😬 anybody have any recommendations on a soil mix or certain brands to make my own mixture at home that won’t cause fungus gnats?

Help!! My birds of paradise has never had any problems until this spring when the leaves started to curl up and get brown around the edges. I repotted it in June (same size pot as before just different design) What do I do!? (Pics of the roots are from where I repotted it)

Should I cut off leaves that are infected? It’s a money tree.

I have a money tree. I learned on this app that I should water it once a week. Water it until you see the water draining at the bottom of the pot. I have been doing that because my leaves have been turning yellow when I was thought I was under watering it. Either way it hasn’t died but has grown huge but I want to figure out the yellowing of the plant. Any help would be great since I am really a new plant owner since dec 2023

I re potted my plant a couple days Ago and she looks so sad. I don’t want her to die. Can anyone help? Is the pot too big? Or did I do something wrong?

I believe this is from overwatering at the supermarket. Can I clip this out? Or should I leave it there and pay attention if it grows?
