I added soil to the pot and then watered, about a week later I noticed all the bottom leaves become mushy and fall off. I took it out of the pot to see if I can save it. What do y’all think?

The leaves on my polka dot plant have been curling a little bit. I’m not sure why because it’s not under direct sunlight but rather near a growing light. Any ideas on how this problem can be fixed?

I was doing a routine morning check up on my plants and I think my Cebu Blue had something going on in the soil. Idk if you can see it well in the picture, it’s mostly on the right hand side of the pot. I was worried about spider mites but imo it doesn’t look like spider mites webbing. I considered maybe an actual spider but I poked around the leaves and don’t see anything! No movement in the soil and the plant looks to be healthy. Maybe fungus/mold? Any ideas? Or maybe it is spider mites? 😭 (btw it’s wet because I misted to see if there was fine webbing that I was missing!)

Is there any way to help her? I’ve been watering according to the app. She got some little white bugs all over her but they seem to have gone away.

So, I am rescuing this little guy. Seems he is a ginseng bonsai ficus? Not sure. I found spider mites and removed as much as I could, trimmed him up and isolated him. Placed him in our plant hospital and under a grow light. I added some cinnamon to the open branches and hoping for a great come back. Anything else? I really want to save him. He was a victim of over watering, then no watering and needed a new pot that helped him drain. I use a cactus/tropical blend soil because they seem to do well with me with that soil. I also added some clay beads to the bottom... this is a fully draining pot. (Like the smaller black one on top of the white)

picked this guy up from the store because he could use some love, any suggestions?

My favorite plant (Frizzle Sizzle) was completely fine when i left which was only three days ago, however i came back to the leaves being brown and droopy, and the bulb being a mushy mess, i don’t know what happened, is this salvageable or do i have to toss her

Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong? Just looking somewhere to start on what could be wrong

what is everyone favorite soil mixture? something chunky and not going to retain a ton of water? the soil in about half of my plants seems to stay really wet, so at this point i’m so scared of root rot so i want to be proactive

Any suggestions on saving this bonsai ficus? Inherited it this weekend along with a half dead lucky bamboo shoot. 😑 I have drained and cleaned him up, watered him up and fed him. Keeping him in shady, humid area until I see new leaves... the nearly dead ones perked up.

My curly ivy is turning brown and drying up at the base, how do I stop it?

I have a hibiscus plant that’s been outside my house for years. We basically just ignore it typically cause it’s been growing fine on it’s own for so long. But lately I noticed this white stuff all over it. I treated it with an insecticide and neem oil over the last week or two and seen no improvement. Anyone know what this is and what I can do?? I don’t want this plant to die after being here for so long :(

Any ideas on what I can do to stop this??

Hi, I was having trouble with my Dracaena. I got really good advice here and she seems better. Someone recommended getting a grow light. Maybe she will be happier. Do you have any recommendations ? I’m looking for something small and not to expensive

I have no clue what is wrong with my calathea! It used to be very healthy but one day after giving it some new soil, it’s leaves started curling. The next day, more started curling and becoming yellow, droopy, and crispy. I had watered it the previous day after giving it new soil but it had not done anything. I cut away the yellow and curly leaves in hopes of it getting better; it did not. It continued yellowing and becoming crispy so I moved it to a shadier place, thinking it was getting too much sun. Eventually I moved it back to where it was; about eight feet away from my south facing window. As you can see it has two leaves left but they are both yellowing and getting crispy. Please help!! btw - I am newer to plants as I have just started caring for them in late January.
