I think my peperomia is dying. I had my boyfriend water my plants for half of May while I was out of the country, and they never really recovered from being over watered and in dim light/shade. The red tint that the back of the leaves are known for seems to be very faint, and the leaves aren’t as strong as they used to be. It also seems like it takes much longer for the soil to dry between waters. Any tips? Is it ?

does anyone know why my pothos is drooping, i recently got it. about 2 weeks ago and i had it in my balcony but im thinking about bringing it inside because of this. i thought it was because i was overwatering it but that doesn’t seem to be the case?

can anyone tell me why these new unfurled leaves already have crispy black spots? there are two new leaves that both have black spots like this. (ignore the paper had to use it to help focus the camera lol) repotted about 3 weeks ago and no root rot or anything like that. could repotting possibly be the cause…? thank u for anything!!

How the heck did this thing get mealybugs when it wasn't near any other plant and it's been in the same spot for two years?

Hi guys! I recently got a new African Violet but I don’t know why it’s wilting. I thought it was because i overwatered it so i stopped watering for a bit but it’s still wilting. Is it savable? 😭i want to see it bloom

Help. I repotted my string of dolphins into a container with drainage and succulent soil about 2 days ago. It was pretty wet so I did not water it. It’s under a grow light for 12 hours a day. I moved it over there in the light about a week ago. In my other post asking for help, people have told me to see how it goes in the new container, others have told me to choose the green part and propagate it, or to cut the green part and put it in water to grow roots. I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to loose this plant. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you.

Hi all ✌🏾 Just came back from a weekend away to find my ficus elastica has a little, um, thing sprouting from the bottom, just above the soil line. Overall growth on him is okay, so I’m wondering what this is, or if any action is required? Also just noticed those 2 additional fungus looking shoots coming from the surrounding area. Healthy mix perhaps? Haven’t repotted recently soo..

Any idea what’s going on here? My fiddle leaf fig is sitting in a a sunny south facing window. I’m using a 2:3 perlite to soil mix and the humidity reading in this area is 70%. I repotted her about a week ago; could this be root shock?

I have a Gardenia. I used the contact Planta support and it has been two weeks with no response. I repotted this, added more drainage and gardenia specific fertilizer and nothing seems to help bring it back. Is this gone? Is there a way to save it? I live in central Florida this Gardenia is on my Lanai.

This pothos keeps pushing out ugly leaves! It doesnt have direct sunlight, but lots of grow light and indirect light. I recently up-potted it so I am hoping that will improve the fresh growth. Has anyone else had a pothos that pushed out wrinkly/brown spotted leaves?

I have a bunch of pothos cuttings i was propagating in a jar, just took a look at them today and these white bumps are appearing on some of the roots? I haven’t had a chance to plant them yet because I had to get a bigger pot but is something wrong with them?
