So my plant has drooping leaves. I just watered it but I also pulled out the plant ~a week ago when I got it to detangle the roots and stuff since the roots were growing out of the holes in the bottom of the pot. So the soil is super loose right now and I don’t think it can retain much water. Have I made a big mistake? Can it survive until 9/4 when I get an actual pot and more soil? Also is this a hardy chrysanthemum? I think it is 🤔. Window is facing west btw.

Coffee tree brown spots and holes. Not really sure what to do at this point.

Took on the enormous task of repotting a bunch of my house plants a month ago…used miracle grow potting soil…now have an infestation of those darn little gnats! Ahhhh! Losing my mind with them. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them? I have those little sticky things I stick in the dirt to catch them when they land on it but it barely makes an impact…

Hi there - I got a turtle vine that looks horrible. I was going to cut out the dead vines, but most of them have new growth at the ends. How do I prune this plant?? Thank you!

A friends plant. She said she hadn’t watered in a while and started to look bad and she started watering and got worse. What advice should I give her?? We are both kinda newbies but really love our plants ♥️

Hello y’all! I am looking to bring a few plants I have outdoors inside but want to make sure they are rid of pests before I bring them in. I’ve seen different methods online such as soaking the plants in water and soap for fifteen minutes or otherwise spraying them with insecticidal soap. The plants I want to bring in are a coffee tree, and olive tree and an elephant ears plant. Any tips or advice ? Thank you! 😊

I’ve been looking after my mums Calathea orbifolia which looked originally like in the photo with the black background,!it’s gotten slightly better but lots of its leaves are brown and yellow, I’m not sure what’s wrong and how else I can help it. (I am repotting it as well)

My recently adopted zzz plant has yellow and brown leaves. I think I overwatered it. What can I do?
Thanks for your help

Getting some yellow leaves on her, any advice? She’s growing great other than that! Sometimes she gets gnats so I’ve nicknamed her Natty, but that problem seems to be under control currently :)

Anyone else experiencing a fall like event sweeping through the house plants. I feel like a lot of my plants are having older leaves die off my monstera adasonii has a yellow leaf appearing to be the oldest leaf, my pilea pep plant has lost most of its bottom leaves, but still features deep green leaves and appears to be new growth. I’m really confused by what’s going on.

hi!! my sensitive plant (mimosa pudica) has leaves that have started to become a mottled yellow color over the past few weeks. i’ve had it for a while now and this is a newer issue. it is in a west facing window that gets 6-7 hours of bright, filtered, indirect sunlight and i only water it when the top soil dries out. does anyone know why this could be happening and how to fix it?

How would you suggest I trim this? Should it be bushier?. The first pictures is the whole plant and the second is it’s home(but you can’t see the top) it’s maybe 10 feet?

Hey everyone, I just started taking care of this palm I’m not sure the exact name but wanted to ask a few things. 1. I started noticing this discoloration and am not sure if it’s from not enough water / sunlight or maybe too much water ? I have the watering globe and have filled it up twice (once yesterday and once when I bought it on Tuesday). Just wanted to know what I can do to keep it healthy. 2. Is the placement bad when I put it in the corner ? I keep the blinds open during the day but the east facing one closed most of the time since it heats the room a lot but wanted to know if maybe it needs more sunlight. I did buy it from the “indoor” section at Home Depot but unfortunately they didn’t really give me much guidance besides water it. Thanks !

hey y’all! so I have a little bit of a problem and need some advice. I noticed about 2 weeks ago that I saw some fungus gnat larvae in some of my plants soil and spider mite larvae on the others. pretty much every single plant even though they weren’t together. I did the peroxide, did a neem oil soak, insecticide soap, the whole works. Everything was fine for a couple days but I went to check on them and the soil is INFESTED. top layer of my Birkin is just littered with them, it looks like fuzz/ mold, and the little bug are climbing the stems. I did notice on some too, there’s actual mold (or something) ?? also didn’t even realize you aren’t supposed to do neem oil on young, small, or newly repotted because I repotted 3 plants the day I did the soak 🤦🏼♀️ (also need help figuring out why my new/small white wizards leaves or doing this. the new leaf stopped opening up and is browning already) please help!! what does the fuzz look like to you and are my plants all going to die?? i’m so scared and frustrated. TIA!
