My prayer plant looks good, however each time I go to water it the soil reads, “wet” on the moisture meter. What should I do? Just put it on snooze? I feel like it’s wet every time. There is no water coming out from drainage hole so it’s not like it’s sitting in water. Thanks for any advice! :)

hi! recently repotted this plant and now her leaves are starting to go all brown and die- am I overwatering or under watering? she used to thrive but ever since repotting she’s started to die.

Anyone know what these crusty bits are? They are like little black bits, and I’m sure they we’re on my string of hearts the other day 😓

Also, might anyone know why my aloe vera has been acting funky like this? It seems to be flattening and not reaching upward as much anymore. I believe i have been watering it correctly allowing the water to completely drain out bottom and not stand in it. I am using a plastic pot for about a year now (terracotta may be better long term). I also am having an issue where the middle leaves tend to flip back and forth and some leaves getting flat at the ends. Between watering i have allowed the soil to dry out completely and am using the miracle gro succulent mix. Any advice greatly appreciated thank you!

Hi! Does anyone have any good recommendations for fighting off fungus gnats? I’ve started using mosquito bits (sprinkling in surface and mixing in soil some and the watering as well as systemic) about a week ago but still seeing gnats. I don’t know exactly how long it should be before i start to notice a difference. NOTE: This basil is dealing with the gnats along with other plants.

My money plant’s leaves are turning brown and falling off. What’s could be wrong with it? I only water when soil is pretty much dry and it only gets bright indirect light

Just picked up this Diffenbachia this weekend on a pick up truck. Am worried that it’s in shock because some leaves are suddenly turning yellow!

Any ideas as to what could be going on with her? Was doing exceptionally well until she’s been slowly turning color over the past couple of months. My suspicion is that it’s too hot for her on my porch right now. Roots look great and I really don’t think it’s a watering issue. (soil is wet because I watered her yesterday when I checked her roots)

I am having some issues with my babies drying out fast- it feels like I’m watering twice a week when the app is telling me once every few days? I’m wondering if how I’m watering is wrong and where I might learn how to water? I decided to bottom water with these babies today and they soaked up almost 1/3 gallon of water. When I’m bottom watering, I just let it drink until it’s done and then remove it once the water stops soaking up and dump the water to avoid root rot/it sitting in water. I use a watering can usually and just add a bit of water but any watering advice works. I do live in a desert climate and it’s been in the 90s and I keep my house on 76. I mist about every other day.

Hey earthlings! I have a miniature moth orchid who can’t seem to grow a fourth leaf! Every time a knew leaf comes another falls off. Also some of the roots on the surface do not look healthy but the leafs look awesome! Any tips or suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks you guys!

Newbie! Is this a problem? The brown leaf? Leaves look great except for that brown one. Thanks!

I got my cordyline fruticosa ‘Red Sister’ plant about two months ago and it has been dropping leaves like crazy ever since. I think I overwatered it in the beginning, but it still hasn’t recovered. The tips of the leaves turn brown and brittle until it consumes the whole leaf and drops it. I have kept it under a grow light for about three days but it still doesn’t seem to be doing any better. Anyone have a suggestions or tips on how to save my baby? UPDATE: I checked the bottom of the pot and it seems to be suffering from some sort of mite. How do I get rid of them?

Hey does anyone know if this is normal for this kind of plant thx!
Qq.Begonia
all my plants have been developing mold on the top layer of the soil? I have been removing the mold but it keeps coming back and the soil never really dries out. the plants themselves seem somewhat healthy but also dehydrated. I'm very new to plants and have been searching everywhere but I haven't found SQUAT about this. does anyone know what to do or why this is happening? I've been watering my plants the same and juat got some new plants and now they all have this problem.

Just a minor question about my bird of paradise that I just bought. This was the condition it was in at the store and I wanted to see if there is anything I should be aware of? I am so excited to own one and want to make sure it is very happy and healthy. Are these brown spots and slight chunks missing anything I should be worried about, or is this just from the traversal to the store it was located at? Additionally, is there any advice to keep it strong and healthy going forward?
