So for these two plants , caladiums and dark leaf Colocasia’s, does anybody have care tips? Mine constantly drop leaves and droop and lose color and I can’t figure out why. I believe with the black magic it may be a watering issue , but for the caladiums I’m not sure! Let me know your thoughts :)
Hi everyone! I was hoping I can get some help with how to help my bb Artemis. I just watered her two days ago. Photo below;
Hi! Sooo I didn’t get pictures because I panicked but my mom is currently in the icu so I’m trying to take care of her plants for her. I went to clean up her palm and notice afterwards loads of tiny white bugs in the soil so i immediately sprayed with neems oil and put some mosquito bits but in the morning I figure it’d be best to repot and salvage what I can I just don’t know how to tell my mom….
I don’t know if anyone can see these tiny little bugs in the soil… But what are they? Are they harmful to my plant? My plant seems healthy. They don’t seem to be able to jump or fly.
Recently chopped this philo melanochrysum to prop and without thinking i put it back in my cabinet (usually 80ish % humidity) and this happened… is it fine, should i cut it back a little and let it callous..?! Note: the plant is currently out of the cabinet, was going to leave it out for a few days to see if that helps
Are these spots normal on a ZZ or did I over water?
Can someone please tell me what this is?? Mould? Eggs? I only noticed it now and it’s not on any of my other plants. It’s on my Raven ZZ
Hi, what does this mean? What can I do to help?
My local nursery put up a 90% discount table and I brought 10 plants home yesterday. One of them was this limp and wrinkly ric rac cactus. I would like to see it recover, does anyone have any tips? It is currently in a north facing window and I repotted it with a tropical/succulent mix into a terracotta pot.
I have a Epipremnum pinnatum aurea that has been growing so fast and beautifully. Shes been doing great but the newest leaf came out looking like this (pictures 2 and 3) and some of my older leaves are developing similar brown spots (rest of pictures) I keep her in a glass plant cabinet under barrina t5 grow lights. (I have a humidifier and fans for air flow as well). I haven’t noticed any pests and I don’t think I’ve been any changes to my watering frequency…I usually let her dry out between waterings. Any help would be appreciated:)
Hey planters, been dealing with this issue for MONTHS and need some external opinions for peace of mind... Most all my plants get this white buildup. My assumption was mold. As you can see, the same white stuff has appeared on my evaporative humidifier wicks as well, which is concerning as I don't want to aerosolize and breathe in the mold/spores. Now I'm wondering if it's actually hard water build up. I'm doing a simple little test (picture 4) I came up with to see if I can deduce the problem. I just watered my corn plant, so I've placed three pieces of the white stuff on the top soil to see if it grows/spreads to the surrounding dirt. If yes, could be mold. If not, could be hard water crystals. Anyone else trying to differentiate between white mold vs calcium buildup?
Any tips on how to get this plant (peace lily?) doing better? My mum waters it about once a week. Thank you 🌱
My pothos plant looks like it’s dying! this plant has never had all green leaves at once, but lately more leaves are turning yellow and shriveled. I recently repotted it to a pot with drainage as the roots were rotting but since then the leaves have started yellowing. I also moved it to a location farther away from the window but it is a bigger brighter window. Water about once a week. I have photos of the before and after locations (the after is taken from the vantage point) as well as various photos of the plant in the past couple weeks as you can see the leaves turn browner over time.
Hi! So this orchid originally came in a pot without drainage. All the flowers have fell off, so we repotted it into a nursery pot. Any tips would be appreciated to get it back to blooming !
I’m so confused! 😩 ive had my girl for over 1.5 yrs and all of sudden it’s turning yellow and loosing leaves very quickly down the stem but it’s also still producing babies at the tip of the stem. I haven’t changed anything. I still water when completely dry, it’s in the same window it’s always been in. I just cant figure it out. This one and my Golden Pothos are doing the exact same thing, but my N’Joy is thriving!
Turns out, I’m a horrible palm parent. I’ve had the Chinese fan palm in the black pot for about 1 year, and the one in the grey pot for about 4 months. They have never thrived, always looking half dead. They’re in a room that gets direct sun in the morning and then indirect light for the rest of the day. I water when dry and mist daily. Please help! 😭 I want them to be happy, and they’re clearly not. The one in the grey pot especially has suffered some serious leaf losses.
Hello everyone😊 Can anyone help me identify this pant? My daughter was giving it in this rough shape and I brought it home to help rescue it. It was horribly root bound and even had a small orchid pot deep in the soil with roots in the small put and wrapped all around it. Looks like a Pothos but the roots are not like the ones I’ve had for over 15 years. Googol suggested a few possible plants. Including a Vanilla Orchid, Hoya, philodendron and of course Pothos It has been repotted and I treated the roots prior to potting and I have her up. She’s under a grow light and and looking a bit better. Thank you 💚🪴❤️
Hi! I’ve just been gifted a money tree which is nearly 6ft! The person who owned it moved to Australia a couple of months ago so hasn’t been cared for since he has been gone. What shall I do here?
Hello everyone. Please don’t judge me, but there are literally fungus gnats hanging out around my bed. there are no plants on the shelf right above my bed and i’m so done with them. I wash my sheets every week. i’m not gonna spray pesticides in my bed. How do i keep them away? Thank you guys.
What is going on with the leaves of my Mother’s of Thousands plant? Just received this plant today as a gift.
