I am not sure what to do. I noticed a few leaves randomly in the middle of this pathos vine are turning yellow yellow. They weren’t in direct light. It seems to be working very slowly up the vine & I don’t want to lose the whole vine it is very long at this point.

Can anyone tell me what’s going on with my plant? I had several black leaves that I had to pull off. I think I wanted too long to water her.

My mother has a large beautiful monstera and recently transferred it to a 12” pot from an 8” pot yet it’s thriving. She has a self watering pot and it’s growing really quickly. She recently added a moss pole when she transferred pots but she never mists it and I’m not seeing any aerial roots attached to the moss pole. She’s tied the main stems/offshoots to the moss pole but it’s causing the leaves to all bunch together at the top. Can anyone help with a better solution for how to give this plant structure, while also allowing its leaves to move towards the light or allowing its growth to not be restricted? I’m not an expert on the subject and told her I’d try to find a solution. Thanks.

Leaves are curling, cut a few off. Any ideas? It looked great the first few months I had it. I was told it needed indirect light but I am really not sure what exactly that means. Also what exactly does root rot look like? Can you tell I am new to having houseplants😬

Can anyone help me with my PPP? I water her whenever the soil is dry and she sits about two feet under a grow light. The new growth has been smaller than it should be and not very green/pink. I’ve checked for pests and didn’t find any.

SOS Is this even salvageable? 😭 I haven’t looked at it for a couple days and then suddenly it’s all soggy? My others are fine but I still moved it to be safe.

Hello fellow plant lovers! I have two Passion Fruit vines. One is doing well and growing fast. The other started wilting/drying the other day. I’m not sure what happened and I’m desperate to save it. The difference between the two: Bad Passion Plant: - On East side of balcony. - Receives direct sunlight early morning through about noon. - Planted in grow bag (1 gallon) Good Passion Plant: - On West side of balcony - Receives direct sunlight noon through early evening. - Planted in wooden rectangular planter They receive the same amount of water. The bad passion plants leaves are dry. I live in southern California and it’s been hot AF lately so my first thought is maybe the early sun has been drying it out? I’ve never grown vines before and desperately want to save it. Is it too late?

Found these 2 hornworms on my cherry tomato. They ate an entire set of leaves and half of a cherry tomato😂. Kinda cool to see them even though they are pests. I removed them from my garden, anything else I should be worried about with them?

Is anyone experienced with Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum? The newest leaf on this small offshoot plant has begun discoloring. My strongest guess right now is that I waited a little longer than usual to water it. However, I see this a lot in these plants so I'm wondering if there's a piece of their care I don't know.

What do all of you use to prevent or get rid of fruit flies?

Do you all use Neem oil preventatively? And is there any plants that I shouldn’t put it on?

I have a potted Hydrangea from last year that had blooms then. And this year it came back but still hasn’t bloomed. What can be the issue?
