Last year I took a clipping of a prayer plant. I’m pretty sure it classifies as a lemon lime variety. I propagated it for about a year before planting. There was such extensive roots so I ended up having to split the root system three ways. The plants have been growing steadily over the past month and a half since being potted. However, the new leaves coming up don’t have the same coloring/pattern as the original leaves (can be seen in the second picture). Any thoughts about what I’m doing wrong or what is going on? (Pictures taken right after watering)

Hi! Is this a problem?? Just noticed on these two leaves on 2 different plants that sit next to each other. I’m referring to the white on the plant. What is it?

This is a ficus ruby plant and I believe it may be sick. Aren’t the leaves supposed to be burgundy color? If anyone has any advice lmk!

My zz has yellowing leaves, my room doesn’t have a lot of light but I don’t think they need too much. I try not water them often at all because I don’t want to overwater. Do you know what I could do?

Noticed some spots on my snake plants today. Maybe red leaf spot? Immediately overreacted, isolated it, and cut a few leaves. Wiped the remaining leaves after with some hypochlorous acid before I snapped out of it. Did I just kill her for no reason? 😭

Please help! 🚨 Does anyone recognise what this is and how to treat it? It has quite a fluffy texture and has started appearing on the stem and random spots on the leaves! The plant itself is happy and thriving, and has only ever been bottom watered so unsure on how there could be mould? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance 🙏🏻

I recently found out that almost my entire plant collection, apart from my succulents, has thrips. I already have a plan for getting rid of them but I would appreciate any extra advice, TIA

I always see so many comments about people using neem oil on their plants... but nobody talks about how absolutely foul it smells, and people should be warned. To all the people who do use it, how? To all people who have not used neem oil, it smells like rancid ass. Lol. I use Captain jacks insecticidal super soap and it works great and it's not super stinky. Thank you for coming to my plant talk :) <3

Hi, would anyone be able to tell me what this black patch is on my climbing rose? It’s kind of hard and sticky? Thanks!

Been having issues with pests eating the leaves and pests in the soil. Any suggestions? It’s a double bloom rose bush. Also, how can i encourage more blooms besides just dead heading?

I have a philodendron birkin that is putting out a new growth but it’s brown. I did rescue it from walmart cause it was sitting in water. I did repot to 1 park soil, 1 part orchid bark, and 1 part chunky perlite. Any tips? Could it be from me moving it and giving her a shock from repotting?

Hi!! I got a couple of Lithops, living stones, about a week ago, i repotted them into a mixture of soil, perlite, sand and pea gravel into a shallow dish with the plant portion sticking out. I was being nosy to my plant and noticed this weird spot on one of them. If anyone can give me any tips, suggestions, advice, or diagnosis that would be appreciated!!! *I pictured the dish below with the other ones

HELP! My Alocasia Polly has spider mites! I tried circling a bit of the web but it doesn’t show up well on camera. I have never had spider mites so tips and care info will be GREATLY appreciated. I checked all the leaves and it looks like there’s only a web on this new leaf coming up so maybe I caught it early if that’s even possible. TIA!!! 😓

What could be causing my plumeria leaves to pinch like this? No pests that I can see. I don’t think it’s too close to the grow light.
