Can anybody tell me what the heck is going on with this plant?! It’s a moonshine snake plant my MIL got us both one from marketplace and it’s been in rough shape since bringing it home. It’s in my bathroom and also has a grow light so I’m not sure if light is the issue but it’s colour isn’t great and it just doesn’t seem happy at all. Any tips? Maybe I could take the baby off the mother and try to start fresh?! Lol

What is this orange goo that keeps growing back on my plant?! I pulled off a chunk of this thick gooey stuff when I brought this home and repotted it, and I noticed a week later it has grown back! Is this a type of slime mold? Is it harmful?

What are the best types of pots? And what about lucky bamboo in water, how do you care for it?

Any guesses what the issue is here with my Hoya? It’s been declining like this for the better of 2 years. Can’t be overwatering (I water when the leaves are soft). I also caved and tried watering more frequently this past spring spring and the leaves turned yellow so i stopped that. Sits in a south-facing window…

New Pilea owner here-- Getting mixed answers about what the diagnosis of these leaves is. I've only had it for about a week and a half, and it's been fine until now. If any Pilea owners could steer me in the right direction, that'd be fantastic.

Having some troubles with my ZZ turning yellow. I did just water it a few days ago but soil feels dry. I don’t have experience with root rot so I don’t know what I’m looking for.

This plant initially had many leaf, it’s down to these 2 and several newly growing ones. The problem is I don’t know why it started dying.

Help! My rubber plant was fine for about 6 months then started dropping leaves one by one. The first few leaves had a brown spot on them, now the leaves look perfectly fine when they drop. I recently moved it closer to the light and started watering less at a time, but more frequently. We are holding strong at 2 leaves with a little sprout!

Hey guys! Does anyone know why my Basil is turning brown in the middle of the stem? I checked the roots and they are healthy so it can’t be root rot.

Hey guys! What the heck is this? I’m guessing it’s a bulb so next question is what do I do with it? My plant’s been losing leaves, had droopy and wilted leaves and the newgrowth dies and is trapped before it even gets a chance to grow so I was going to repot it to see if the roots were rotting, they look pretty healthy so I’m not sure what’s causing the issue ☹️ I did have her outdoors for a while till slugs became a problem and she’s been indoors since but I’m finding it hard to care for her

Noticed a yellow / brown leaf on my money tree today and it fell off when I touched it. Any thoughts on what this could be? See a lot of new growth, but some are coming in missing a leaf or in this case mis colored

I recently got a Monstera Dubia as a gift i’m still a beginner so I figured this plant would be a little tough to care for. The top leaves have turned this greyish color, can anyone help me? 😊

I’ve recently gotten a cheese plant but it seems to be dying no matter what I do. I sized it up a pot a week or two ago but it was dying before. What do I do about it? ( if I can do anything) Thanks!
