Hello all! I purchased a giant white bird of paradise last year from IKEA. His name is Sven! He lived well through the summer, but at some point in the fall/winter he started showing signs of root rot. I eased up on the watering and he was doing well for a while, and now it’s finally warm enough again where I can repot him. He’s all set and I’m making sure he has drainage, but I would love advice on how to keep him from dying. He’s very close to death, but I got all the old soil off and gave him a good rinse before repotting, and he does have some roots that still look healthy. Now that he’s repotted, should I water him today? How often should I water? I followed Planta’s schedule but I don’t have premium so maybe I’m missing something. Any advice would be so so so appreciated!!! I live near Boston, about a mile from the ocean. My plants stay indoors year round and I do have a grow light that’s on 12hrs. I’m much better with succulents than leafy plants. Picture 1: the aftermath of cleaning and repotting Sven Picture 2: Sven when I bought him Feb ‘23 🥲

Can anyone help me figure out why some of the leaves on my peperomia hope plant are curling? Overall the plant is healthy and even growing new babies... could it be from getting too much sun?

I cannot figure out what is wrong with my Fiddle Leaf Fig! It has been dropping a few leaves and these look like this. Also some leaves have dark brown spots. If anyone could offer some help that would be greatly appreciated

My red sun philodendron is having some odd spotting on only the back of one of it’s bottom leaves. Do you think it could be from watering too close to the crown or is it something more unknown? You can see it a bit in the plant picture attached. Opinions? Ideas?

When i bought this lily it was browned on a few of the largest leaves and the main flower. Is there anything i should do for these spots, just let it run its course or cut them? advice for trimming would be appreciated as well, thank you in advance

I’m wondering if my lavender is too long gone to be saved :( I guess I didn’t give it enough sun and kept it to moist. I just repotted it into this 2 days ago and I’m hoping it will bounce back.

Hello, the bottom of my Blue Passion Flower vine has started to brown. When it’s done this previously the whole branch tends to die later. Is is possible I planted it too deep? It’s never really grown that vigorously so I’m wondering if that could be the problem. Any advice is welcome! Live in Austin Texas. Thank you.

So my philodendron was over watered by rain and my mom so I repotted it. Before I did it had three leaves that all randomly got soggy and limp and tore apart, and a leaf fell off when I tapped it. Same thing is happening to this new leaf after repotting. I didn’t see signs of root rot and I checked twice. I don’t know why the leaves are getting so soggy by themselves.
