Anyone have any idea what these brown spots are on my rubber tree? It was a rescue that was soooo droopy when I got it but I e been super on top of care trying to bring it back and now it seems very happy and is putting out a new leaf like weekly but these spots just started to show up and I’m not sure the cause.

I can’t figure out what’s going on with my Magnolia trees. We planted 2 of them in April and they were doing great. We live in Sacramento, CA so it’s hot and dry all summer. They are on our drip which waters almost every day (too often for the trees but needed for the other plants). Soil is well drained and I don’t believe it stays wet given how hot and dry it is.
They look like they’re going to die. Is this just due to the wrong watering schedule or is something else going on?

I am having problems with a prayer plant!!
I noticed it had thrips so washed it down, cut off a couple bad leaves, sprayed with insecticide and repotted it. No visible bugs on it now, it’s been a week and shows no sign of improvement. The leaves have since turned yellow but there is still new growth. Will it recover? Please help🪴

Hi all! Need some help with my monstera. In the last 3 weeks my monsters grew 2 mushrooms and one of the aerial roots has - no joke - grown 1.5-2 ft!! The plant is in north facing windows. Please send help as the plant has produced no new growth in over a month!

I’ve had my hoya for a couple months now, and it finally grew a new leaf a couple weeks ago. However, the leaf is distorted and small. The whole plant has become droopy, and the leaves feel floppy.
Initially the plant was in very hard, compacted soil, which I believe led to water draining through the pot without any moisture being retained in the soil. I repotted it into a faster draining mix. The roots looked healthy. Since then, it’s continued to droop.
It’s not getting better or worse, and it’s been a couple of weeks now. I don’t want to water it again in case it has been overwatered, but I really don’t know why it’s not getting any better.

Help please!!! My Ctenanthe leaves are curling. I measured the moisture of soil, it was moderately wet. I thought it’s too wet and changed part of the soil with dry soil but still leaves are curling.

I bought this fiddle leaf tree a few months ago and the leaves keep falling off. It gets good indirect light and I wipe it’s leaves occasionally. It has some roots exposed at the top but I didnt think I should put it in a bigger pot. Any suggestions??

Hello everyone! Is there any chance of saving this dried Majestic Palm? 😭
If I prune it to the bottom of the stem is there a chance that a new stem will start to grow?
Or should I prune it and place the roots in a large bowl of water?

I got this rubber plant six months ago and overwatered it. For the past three months it’s just appeared dormant like this. I’ve tried making notches in a couple of the nodes. I’ve tried using a KeiKei paste on a few of the nodes. I am careful not to overwater it now. I make sure it gets plenty of indirect light. There is no new growth whatsoever. What else can I do?

Hi everyone! So I have had my nerve plant for over a year now and it has grown so much and been beautiful up until a few days ago. I noticed it had wilted so I gave it water thinking it would perk back up the next day as it always does, but unfortunately this time it has not. It has been 3 days since watering it and nothing. The stems seem fine but most of the leaves are crunchy. What does the mean and how can I help it get back on track? I have also included a photo of what it looked like a few weeks ago. :)
