Hey! Newbie plant mom here- this is a phal orchid. Some of the flowers are wilting and the leaves look like they’re yellowing? (I might be wrong) I never put it in direct sunlight, I only water it once a week, and my room is the right temperature. Am i doing something wrong?

I do not know why the leaves are turning yellow? Can you help?

Can someone tell me what these little black bugs are on my hibiscus plant and suggestions of the best way of removing/preventing them? I do not have a green thumb and looking up online I think they may be aphids. Will neem oil help?

Hi, I just bought this wandering dude a few days ago and repotted it because it was too big but it was very hard to do because the roots were stuck to the previous pot and I had to pull it and then I watered it thinking it would help but left it sitting on water for too long so I think it just went through a lot of stress and now I don’t know what to do now, any suggestions?. It still has some good leaves but I am already propagating some stems in water just in case :(

I have a purple tradescantia zebra a and the more it grows the more green it becomes. Is this some kind or variegation reversion or will they turn purple as they get older? I’ve never seen it put out green leaves while in water but now that it’s in soil I’m seeing them more and more

This is ginger. She is a mint plant. ( I named all my mint after other herbs & spices) I had pulled her from the yard to plant, she was with other mint plants (Including my other ones) A few days later her leaves fell and look bad. So I got scared and cut the top half off and watered her. She started to look better again. But I wanted her to be planted with roots. So I taped her top to the bottom to grow back together. I had done it before and it was successful but with a diffrent plant. Any tips? And is it ok for a mint plant to naturally be bent over? Please help and comment!

I have a hanging sword fern and the birds just won’t leave it alone. I’ve tried the peppermint cottonballs, I’ve tried toothpicks, but I still find myself pulling out a new nest everyday and it makes me feel terrible😭😭 Do y’all have any clever solutions for me?

No matter how many times I treat my eggplant for aphids with neem and manually remove them they return full force immediately. Any tips to get them to stay away for good?

Has anyone ever seen this happen with Coleus? I just bought it and noticed this. It’s super soft, thin, almost like a thin petal in texture, not dried out. It actually shimmers in the light like it’s pearlescent gold or something. The underside looks exactly the same as the top.

Hey everyone! I’ve had this Jade for a couple of months now. I’ve had a few issues here and there, she’s very temperamental about watering. She’s been good for a month or so now. I have my Jade under a grow light and in a north west facing window, but my window has trees right outside and there is another house, so not a lot of natural light gets in (reason for the grow light.) I water her when she’s completely dry and starting to look like the leaves might be droopy. I just noticed these weird brown clusters and spots on my plant however. I have no clue what they are or when they showed up, as I’ve been out of town for a few days. Any advice or answers as to what is wrong with my plant?

Hello! I am wondering if someone can help me with a dying lavender tree. I have only had it for about 2 weeks and repotted with new soil when I got it. It’s on a southwest facing balcony that is mostly covered. I felt the soul down to 4 inches and it doesn’t feel too wet. Is this over or underwatering?

My homalomena has been fine for weeks. In a matter of 48 hours I've lost 2 leaves and it seems 2 more are going down. No new growth. No mites/bugs. Soil is testing a little wet, but I just bottom watered it yesterday. PH is perfect. What would you do??

Help !!! My cats have waged total war on my strawberry plants. They’re planted in planters and since it’s not quite nice enough to plant them outdoors i’ve been carrying them outside every morning and carrying them back inside onto my porch every evening to avoid frost and cold temperatures at night. I’m usually watching my cats around them like a hawk (they love soaking up the sun on the porch), since they have a tendency to eat / mess with my plants. Well, in a poor lapse of judgement this morning, I left them unattended for literally, like, two minutes, in which time one (or both) of my cats have completely demolished all six of my poor strawberry plants’ leaves. Will they be able to bounce back from this?! I’m an emotional wreck right now. They were doing so well and starting to grow some berries! :’( How can I make them less appealing to my cats so this won’t ever happen again?! Any answers are greatly appreciated. Sincerely, - One Broken-Hearted Plant/Fur Momma <\3

Hello! Can anyone help me to understand what is wrong with my Prickly Pear Cactus? I bought this cactus a month ago. When I purchased it, it was all green. Then these brown scars started to appear.
