Here is my money tree. All of its “original” leaves (those there when I bought it) are dark green, and all of the new growth is light green. Is this ok? Is something wrong? I water every 10 days and mist daily. Thank you!

No diseases, pests or problems to report, but I want to avoid them. I need some advice on this little guy - successfully delivered in fine shape via Mountain Crest. I hear “put it in a shady spot” and “bright light encourages coloring” and on and on. Anyone have some actual experience with (non-grafted) Gymnos of this variety? ps I see some green growing in-between some ribs. Looks healthy, just the opposite way I thought this would go lol.

Help please! Planta recommends discarding my mother of millions due to this mildew substance… before noticing the white powdery ick on the leaf ends, I clipped each stem as they were getting quite leggy. I’d rather save her if I can. Any suggestions??

Is this mold or mineral deposits on my plants soil? I had a problem with what I thought was mold for these Chinese evergreens 2 weeks prior, so I changed out the soil and added some materials to help with drainage. I then watered them and 5 days later I saw what I thought was mold developing so I watered them with a hydrogen peroxide mix and added cinnamon to remove and prevent mold growth. I have also been putting them in a sunnier spot to prevent mold. I now see that this white substance continues to appear on the soil so I was wondering if it was mold or mineral deposits from watering. If it is mold what other solutions are there to prevent further growth?

Does this discoloration on my Alocasia mean I have a light situation? Like it got burned or something? It’s under a grow light because the room it’s in faces the north. I’m starting to think I may get grow bulbs for the recessed lights in the living room.

Multiple questions here. 1.I first posted about my princesses excessive crying, but I found this “water blister” today. Is this just too much water? I waited 12days between waterings. Im losing leaves pretty fast.. all are too wet.. but I even used a hygrometer when it read 2 “dry”. Or is this maybe a disease? 2. I added grow lights to try to speed up the plants ability to dry the soil, because I initially thought it was taking too long for the plant to dry out and that’s what was hurting the leaves. The final picture are my new leaves.. they’re kind of brown.. definitely not green.. do they get greener with age or is something just horribly wrong with my plant? 3. Can philodendron handle getting super dry? Should I wait till it’s down to a 1? I don’t know what’s wrong with this little plant but she’s def being a princess

so my little celosias are not doing great. when we water them in the morning they perk up a little bit then throughout the day they start to really droop. i live in nevada. and about this time of year it’s cold at night but hot during the day. i’m assuming they don’t like the cold. any suggestions? or do these guys just not live during the cold months?

Hi so went to look at my Venus flytrap Jeff I’ve had him a few weeks and I come to check on him this morning and annoying I didn’t get a photo of it but on one of the stalks saw a tiny transparent worm which after a google search is a nematode and now apparently there are good nematodes and bad ones and before I could think about making the pest evacuate the premises it’s jumped into the soil so what do I do? How do I know if it’s a dodgy one or not don’t want to kill Jeff

Good morning! We have a wonderful little pineapple plant that’s been doing really well for the last year, but all of a sudden the stalk that holds up the pineapple has begun to yellow and looks like it’s going to give up soon (we’re also propping up the pineapple with a chopstick!). Any ideas on how to save it? Thank you!

I’m in urgent need of advice🙃 i’m not new to having plants but lately all my plants have had gnats and white fungus on the top of them. Now i’ve almost perfected the right soil for each specific plant and none of them are currently happy. i feel like i’m failing as a plant parent and need whatever advice anyone can give me🥲 thank you in advance! :))

Hello, I’m a fairly new plant mom & have been troubleshooting this plant for the last month. At first I thought it was infected so I started spraying it with copper fungicide. That seemed to help a little bit I could tell the problem is deeper. I was finally able to dump the pot of soil to check the roots and this is what they look like. The flower shop that sold me this plant gave it to me in a planter that had zero drainage holes, so the soil was super moist even tho we’ve only watered it minimally. 😫 Do yiu think the brown spots and sickness was solely due to no drainage or something else too? I’m repotting today with my own mix of good draining soil, perlite, peat moss. I pray I can revive this beauty. Should I just trim the brown part from the leaves or what else can I do to help this sick plant? Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏

There’s a bunch of really tiny (like so small I can’t get a picture) green bugs on my plants and idk if they’re bad or not. There doesn’t seem to be any damage to the plants so I think they might just live there. Any thoughts??

I was graced today by my white princess philodendron’s first pink patch only to further inspect that I am having a fungus gnat and thrips problem on almost all my plants! I have way too many and can not isolate each one. Any tips?

Hello I hope you are all well. My lemongrass has been growing strong until a few days ago and I don’t know what to do or what is wrong with it. I have looked into Rust on lemongrass but I’m unsure if that is what’s going on. I’m worried for my child please help 😭
