Hi everyone! I’m a new plant parent and have had this prayer plant for about three months now. He has been sprouting all kinds of new growth, which I’m very excited about. However, he’s getting a little heavy. I very recently repotted him due to being root bound, and I noticed he’s leaning over pretty heavily to once side. Should I use a stake or something and tie him upwards? Or is it okay to leave the stem and plant leaning to the side? I’m very new to all of this, so I apologize if this is a bit of a newbie question!

Hi! I’m not sure what’s going on with my fiddle fig, can anyone please explain why the leaves are browning, she isn’t over or under watered. I know I need to change the pot she’s in cause her roots are growing out of the holes. Can I salvage the brown leaves or do I have to cut the whole leaves off, and what can I do to prevent the rest of the leaves from browning in the future. I hate having sick plants 😭😭😭😭

Why do my majesty palm’s leaf tips keep turning brown?! No matter what I try, this plant’s leaves keep turning brown and wilting! I have it in medium light, keep the soil moist, didn’t repot it from its nursery pot because I was waiting for it to acclimate but then it started browning immediately. The store planted the root ball too high so the roots at the base of the stems got all dried out - tried to fix by adding new soil on top to cover them. Thought maybe I was over watering but then I let it almost dry out before watering less frequently, still nothing. Pruned the completely brown leaves, still nothing. What’s super puzzling is that it’s still growing new leaves (the light green tall leaf on the left side just unfurled). So is my plant healthy or dying?? :(

My snake plant has been losing a few leaves to this strange condition, it occurs about 3-6 inches above the base of the plant. Any ideas on what’s causing this? Thanks!

Ever since I bought my prayer plant about one leaf a weak has been yellowing- the tips of the plant when i first got it began to brown but not all the way. During the spring it produced some beautiful big leafs but now it’s stagnant. My question is how do i stop the yellowing of the leafs? And how do I make my prayer plant happy haha?! Thanks!

So recently my raphidophora tetrasperma plant has been getting many yellow leaves and turning a brighter green, which probably means those leaves will turn yellow too. I re potted him two days ago in an attempt to help, but i know that is not why the leave are yellowing because it was happening before this. I’ve been opening my window to try to dry out the soil because maybe it was overwatering, but nothing seems to help… In the photos i took, you can see yellowing leaves and some turning bright green. does anyone know what’s happening?

I think both of my plants are starting to die out. Because the plants are looking more odd, and there was a small white larvae on the leaves. What do I do??

does anyone know what is happening with my plant? The leaves are getting brown around the edges and some of the leaves at the bottom are getting yellow. When I looked online people said that the brown on the leaves might be under watering but the yellowing is overwatering. So I am really getting conflicting signals.

My boyfriend gifted me this honeysuckle plant to attract hummingbirds but once I repotted her from the nursery pot she started to rapidly die. I gave her some fertilizer and it seems like it helped but it still isn’t getting better. Any tips?

Does anyone know what would cause this on my cucumbers. They are supposed to be mini me F1 cucumbers. I do have long green improved cucs growing as well. I’m thinking maybe crow pollinated and the mini me variety isn’t meant to grow this big, so they are cracking maybe ? Most of them seem ok, maybe I’m Just waiting to long to pick them. But when I picked them at half this size they were very bitter.

Hey! I have several plants in my room and I’m noticing little gnats but I’m not sure if that’s just normal for plants? I’d like to have a bug free room! Any advice on this or is this normal? Thanks!

Discovered fungus gnats in my plants two weeks ago. I sprayed neem oil/ dish soap/ water mixture on the top soil, put in gnat sticky traps and I am letting my plants dry out a bit to deter further gnats. But it doesn’t seem to be working so far, any suggestions?
