I recently moved my moth orchid to another corner of my room due to being told that this side is better for the orchid. I noticed a black spot on the leaves and donāt know what caused it. I watered it a couple days ago after the roots were dry (or so I thought). How do you treat it?

HELP: This is my silly Golden heart Dracaena with leaves all curling and crisping up. I corrected the watering mistake replacing with the distilled one yet no signs of improvement
Had to remove some of the leaves too

This is my silly little fiddle leaf fig. I moved him from TX to CO a year ago, and he decided to strip all of his leaves (Iām guessing because of shock). A year later, he still looks pretty naked, but is slowly regrowing leaves at the top. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Or any advice to help re-kickstart its growth? (I have a feeling it wanted to grow taller, on the other hand, the stems are pretty thin so idk)

Hi, I got this miniature rose about a week ago and bottom watered yesterday and it sort of immediately drooped out to the sides. I made sure to gently squeeze any excess water out and itās not sitting in any in its pot. I thought I mightāve squeezed a little too hard and unsettled the soil but it is still the same the next morning. Iāve never owned a rose before, I mostly have orchids so I donāt really know what Iām doing but itās dropping lots of leaves with the slightest touch and even the ends of some stalks. I moved it to my windowsill this morning as the app suggested it wasnāt getting enough light.
Iāve added a photo to show what it looked like before and after, any help is appreciated!
P.S Iām in uni accom so my repotting options are limited š

What do you do when your African Violet gets a long stalk? Do I chop it off and replant it or do I just leave it? I know itās had issues, but Iām trying to revive it.

I got this plant collection as a birthday present from 1800 Flowers. Itās of course absolutely freezing outside and the soil was soaking wet. This baby rubber plant (I think) isnāt looking good. Is this frost damage? Is he a goner? I am having a hard time trying to find its roots.

Hi! This is my second pickle plant and Iām not sure if it was already hurting when i bought it or if iām doing something wrong. Any tips? Itās in direct sun and iāve been treating it like a succulent and only watering when dry.

New to the plant parenting realm and looking for advice for two of my plants that seem to be really struggling this winter. My poor babies need help. My Golden Pothos(I think; 1st pic) has saggy/drooping leaves. I just repotted, removed dying vines and added leca balls. My Prayer Plant (2nd pic) has leaves that are curling and has had a lot of yellowing leaves that have been removed. Repotted, added leca balls and moved into a room with a humidifier. My Ficus Bonsai(3rd pic) has lost majority of its leaves, not sure why. I added leca balls and started to water less.
Any insight on these babies is greatly appreciated!

Any advice for getting rid of spider mites? I have two rubber trees that I have been battling spider mites for months. I treated with neem oil after hosing them down in the shower but they always seem to come back. I have also tried wiping down the plants regularly. I am pretty on top of it so I notice pretty quick when they are back but would like to get rid of them for good.

I repotted my fiddle leaf fig maybe a month ago but I think I did a bad jobšš» I was wondering if it would be wise to try again or should I just leave it? Thank you!
Sick (or dead) bambo
Can you guys please tell me why my bamboo turned like this? I donāt know if itās the cold weather or if my cat might peed on it. Iām just very sad because Iāve had it for more than 4 years and it was always so beautiful. Iām not sure if itās dead or not, but please someone tell me if thereās anything to do to save it.

Hey! So Iāve had this pothos for about a year maybe, Iāve had no problems with her until now and (she was getting big and beautiful sheās not so big now because recently I went a little chop and prop crazy š«¢) but Iāve been having a ton of fungus nats, so I used 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide and 4 parts water to get rid of the eggs in the soil. Today when I looked at her, some of her leaves looked like this! Lots of Black spots on the leaves. At first I was afraid it was a pest problem, but I didnāt see anything, and it happened so suddenly, so now Iām afraid that maybe I sprayed her with too much hydrogen peroxide? Or maybe that I got it on her leaves and I wasnāt supposed to?
Any advice, or knowledge would be GREATLY appreciated and very helpful, thank you in advance!!
Ps. I also very recently repotted her, because I realized the pot she was in was way too big for her, and I also changed the soil so now sheās in a perlite/soil mix

This dracaena plant was one of my first plant purchases last spring⦠I honestly donāt pay much attention to it because itās been fairly boring/slow growing, but recently itās gotten some areas with yellow and brown, not sure whatās causing it? The leaves itās appearing on are the newer leaves tooā¦

My friendās heat broke for ~48 hours during this cold snap in Michigan and a lot of her stems froze (temp got down to 28F in her house by the end). Now theyāre wilted after defrosting, and itās unclear which can be saved. Any advice for figuring out which ones are okay? Has anyone dealt with a sudden frost snap before? How can she prevent fungus as they recover?
Any help is appreciated!
