I need some help diagnosing what’s happening to my angel plants leaves. There’s these sort of burn marks that keep growing and spreading across the leaves. My guess is something to do with watering? I water this plant about once a week but I usually just look for signs of wilting for when to water it. The plant is being kept inside a plastic pot with drainage inside of a decorative pot without drainage. The plant gets minimal direct sunlight each day - probably less than 1 hour max if it’s sunny out. Otherwise it has bright indirect sun for most of the day. Any help is appreciated!

My Heart-Leaf Philodendron has some browning- it is slightly crispy, though does not need water because the soil is damp and I just misted. Please help. Thanks.

another post about my sick fiddle fig 🤒 came home from thanksgiving and found him like this. pretty sure i over watered, would it be too much shock to repot, or could it save him? was also thinking of putting him outside so he can get more light and humidity. thoughts? 😢 i’m so sad 💔

I desperately need help with this silver squill. I have had her for years and she’s never happy. Seems like I’ve tried her in every room in my house, under different plant lights, different windows, different pots, etc. I’ve even left her alone for months and months other than water when she was dry. What am I doing wrong? It takes a lot for me to give up on a plant, but I definitely need some advice.

Please help, does anyone know what’s causing this on my adansonii, since I’ve gotten it he has started to look a bit less healthy after being fine for the first few days🥺 There’s been some very light speckling in very few places. There is some browning on some of the edges of the perforations. And my newest (not fully uncurled leaf) is curling the opposite way after being fine for a day. I supplement with a grow light so I know he’s got enough light, I have a humidifier I always keep on in the room, and I waited until I could put my finger 2 knuckles into dry soil before bottom watering which was only a few days ago. Doesn’t look like there are any issues with the roots so what’s going on?

Help! I thought if I restarted my pathos in water to form new roots that the problem would go away with the new leaves but no… the new leaves also have holes and don’t look that great. Anyone have any ideas? One leaf is ok sort of, the other is barely alive. Are the roots ok?

I have a pink nerve that’s being dramatic. Do you think it would be an issue to repot it in cacti/succulent soil? It doesn’t like the soil it’s currently in, but it’s from the store and in the nursery pot. Thoughts or suggestions?

Why does this keep happening to my dracaena? I switched, a while ago, to watering her with purified drinking water. Do I need to switch to distilled water?

About a month ago, I noticed these little gnats around my plants. They were outdoor plants (brought them in beginning of October). Beginning of November is when I noticed them. I have done lavender soap spray, Teema, and I have the Zevo lights which are collecting a ton of those buggers. How do I rid my plants of these annoying little things? Do I need to repot them? Thank you.

My Red Siam developed yellow leaves. I’m sure it is due to being moved into two different houses in the last month while we moved. My question is do I cut them off or see if they recover?

I have a golden jewel orchid and hadn’t noticed the small looks like eating marks before, but when looking at older pictures they might have been there. Today the one leaf with all the holes in my hand fell off. I don’t “see” any pests, but notice some white stuff on the one leaf in the photo. What do you all think? I’ve read this type of orchid is different than the typical orchid for watering, but any help would be appreciated. She sits in a north window. Oh - and I noticed today that there is a root coming out of the bottom of the catch pot. Should I repot?

I’ve been seeing these little dull brown spots on my money plant. Are they fungal or did I rip these leaves off for no reason? 😩

Could someone help me identify this plant & give me advice on how I can help them?? These were given to me by my mom, initially they were all in one big pot that she kept outside but we split it up and took them indoors since I think they might not be outdoor plants? My best guess is its some kind of succulent or jade so Ive just been letting them dry out. Should I trim them? Theres so many dead ends Thanks in advance🙏🏻

A blast, this transescantia is having trouble? I keep it under a grow light, avoid having the leaves come in contact with water, and follow planta’s instructions. Any ideas about what happened/what I can do? TIA!

Hi! I’ve had this coleus plant for a good while now, when I first got it, it was in soil but slowly started dying so I put it just in water and it was doing absolutely amazing for like 4 months. Out of no where though recently the roots started turning brown, these black spots on the leaves started forming, and had a few leaves around the side fall off completely. It was super droopy as well, I moved it to a different location of my house and changed the jar to a smaller one. It’s growing new white roots as you can see and looks better, but i’m just wondering what did I do wrong? Was it just the plant or me? I want to know so I don’t do it again.
