I need to repot my emerald gem, so buying a planter. If I get a large one, will it be unhealthy for her if it’s too big?

We're moving home and the moving company won't take plants over 5’ Anyone any advise on how to relocate this 10’ bird of paradise. I also have a 6’ Audrey Ficas. We're only moving a couple of blocks and we are in the Chicago area.

My aloe has grown a lot over the past few months but just started having light green, smooth leaves at the bases. What causes this?

Love that my cat decided that the best plant to munch on was my only sick plant, one that I’ve actively been trying to save for months. 😂

I’ve had this Rubber Plant for about four months and she stopped growing altogether for the winter. Ive noticed some dry/dead parts in her stem and Im worried that its dying. I repotted her about three weeks ago. Roots look healthy! I keep this one and all of my other humidity loving plants in my bathroom: on the window sill or on my sink. They have grow lights which I installed in my overhead sink lights. I’m just at a loss.

Hello! This is happening pretty quickly, anyone know what’s causing the dark spots and if so is it something I can treat before it spreads? Please help! Thank you!!

Hi! I saved this guy from the liquidation pile, but its leaves keep falling off. The small stem just lost its last leaf and I’m scared this is the beginning of the end. Any tips for helping this guy survive? Thank you!

Help. Newish plant mom. Discovering holes in leaves of otherwise healthy plants. New holes in more leaves and more plants daily. 2 weeks ago noticed yellowing leaves on 2 plants and found early webbing - isolated the two with spider mites, washed well and using insecticide (lost a gorgeous majestic palm last year to spider mites and am still a bit traumatized). Inspected all other plants, cleaned well with water and polished leaves with neem oil - no mite signs but a few extra yellow leaves. Chalked it up to winter but keep inspecting daily. Still no webbing or noticeable mites (using white paper, magnifying glass etc) but seeing new holes on leaves on more leaves on more plants daily. Southern facing natural light. But winter less so and stated using a grow light (from a distance) occasionally to supplement. It’s been very dry in LA so I’ve been doing extra humidifier with a drop of peppermint oil. No other changes. Anything preventative I can do. Not against insecticides if it saves my plants.

I repotted my monstera early October and immediately 2 new leaves began growing. However by the end of the month they became stagnant, and have been like this since. I checked in November for root rot but didn’t find any and I make sure the soil is mostly dry by the next watering. I have it under a grow light but there has been no new growth. I gave it fertilizer today when watering. What can I do to help the new leaves continue growing out? Thank you in advance!

This guy is about to hit the grave yard. :( Anyone know what’s wrong with it or have suggestions on how to save it? I moved it to a sunnier spot hoping it helps!

I’m assuming root rot since I’ve had this one for a long time and didn’t know what I was doing until recently. No drainage holes either. Any idea what’s wrong?
