Hello everyone! I have a golden pothos. It’s been recently very slouchy. I checked the roots and they look normal. I could be overwatering the plant. Can anyone help me?

My dieffanbachia is acting up. Can someone confirm whether or not they should dry out before watering or prefers to stay moist? I did some research but am receiving mixed messages. Please help😩

For some reason of of my leaves are starting to get wrinkly and the app says that it’s over watered but the images showed for over watered don’t show the wrinkles just the yellowing, wanted to know if anyone knows what’s happening here. It has drainage holes and I see the water drain so it’s not clogged and I water it when the app tells me which is once a week. I even have new growth coming in. Not sure if that can be another reason 🤷🏼‍♀️

2 of the 4 Hibiscus I have came down with a bad aphid infestation. We’ve introduced lady bugs and used Neem oil to treat, but there are still signs of the pests. As the temperatures begin to drop in NJ the plants need to be moved inside soon. Any advice on how to get these pest taken care of so they don’t spread to my other indoor plants? Should we just prune them since we’re running out of time for remedying with treatments?

Spider plant people, help? I just groomed all the dead leaves out of this baby. These 3 fluffy babies were crammed into a 4” pot. I put them into a 12” pot. The watering sked planta has us on- the soil is dry to the bottom. Do they really like this dry? I wonder if it shouldn’t be in a more humid room?? Or maybe she’s too close to the grow light?

It might not be super obvious in this picture but 1/4 stems my Money Tree has, the one pictured in the front of the plant is very soft and bubbled up. According to some quick research it is due to overwatering but I’ve been following recommendations Plantar has given me. Can I still save this Money Tree by cutting the only stem that is rotting?

Ok, so winter FINALLY hit last night. I waited until today when it was supposed to be in the 30’s to bring my plant inside, and when I went out to get it, this is what I saw. It was only in the high 40s so I wasn’t expecting my leaves to wilt. I brought it in to the warmth immediately. Does anybody think it will be OK? The stems are fine, my leaves are just wilted. There’s no blackening from frost. We haven’t gotten any ice yet. Any suggestions??

How it started vs how it’s going. 😭 My first begonia, and she got powdery mildew and dropped all her leaves in the first 2 weeks. Grew a new leaf and that one fell off yesterday. Not totally sure what to do here

My plants seem to have suddenly gotten infected with something white. Not sure what it is but my hibiscus plant is headed for death. It seems like other plants on my patio have gotten the same thing. I have lost one of my plants to this already. Help! I don’t want to lose the rest of the family!

Can anyone tell me what is going wrong with my crêpe myrtle sapling? It was watered and fertilized yesterday. Is it still savable? Prior to this it was fertilized three weeks ago.

I’ve got trouble in paradise 😔 This is a new leaf that took her time unfurling. I let her do her thing, no pressure. She finally started getting loose and unfurling and came down to this, this morning🥺🥺 What could have caused this? Should I have help the leaf unfurl? Do I cut it off to prevent any damage to the rest of her?
