HELP !!!!!!🚨‼️🚨‼️ this Aloe Vera plant has something wrong with it we don’t know what it is. We thought it was in distress like root bound, but we repotted into bigger pots and still like this after a week.

Hi all! First time posting. I just got this monstera from someone a little over a week ago, it was just repotted the day before as well so i know shes going through a little shock. Her leaves have started yellowing, and i wanted to make sure it wasnt anything bad and see how to fix it. Ive never owned a monstera before so id really appreciate the help!

False shamrock gone downhill in the last day. I watered it yesterday as it was dry and now it’s just gone limp. Not sure if it wasn’t enough light or the watering. Moved it to a bright window for now. Anything I can do to help it out? I’m wondering if the pot is too big and needs downsizing Thank you in advance

I’m having some trouble with my alocasia brancifolia - one leaf is doing great and the other is just getting droopier. Anyone has any ideas? No webs, no visible pests to be seen.

Why do my three newest monstera leaves have these bruises/small tears? I repotted about 3 weeks ago. The oldest of these three new leaves u fueled before the repot. We also moved to a new house 2 weeks ago. Also in the last pic there’s some bruising looking mark on one of the stems. Please lmk what y’all think. Thanks!!!

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any advice with this plant here. It’s been struggling and seemed to be dying for a few years but earlier this year a new growth unexpectedly happened. But I don’t know what to do. Any advice is really appreciated! Thank you!

I recently purchased a watermelon pepperonis & it’s in a sawdust type soil. The little bugger just does not like it & is a limp noodle. I’m desperate to transplant the 2” but not sure if I should put in4” pot & best soil to help it stabilize. It was shipped to SE AK where I am & all other ones have stabilized nicely. HELP!

This is my lavender plant I’ve got from B&Q and it was doing absolutely fine for the first few days however it’s started to die out on me. It has drainage clay underneath the soil and I do make sure to water it so it doesn’t dry out except the days where the UK had been experiencing extreme rain so I didn’t want to overwater it.

does this look like spider mites? I went ahead and repotted and sprayed down with neem oil + added systemic granules to the new soil, but I didn’t see any actual bugs or anything moving. Is there anything else I should do?

Hi everyone, I posted here a few days ago and since then have sadly determined I am dealing with thrips. 😭 I have begun taking measures to combat this, but I’m curious to know how likely you all think it is for the thrips to have spread to my other plants, given my setup (I am aware that this can unfortunately even happen from my contact with the plants - but just based on distance)? The plant WAS located in the pot on the right with the vine wrapping about 2/3rds of the way to the centre kokedama. And do thrips target air plants? 🙁

I am a new plant mom and need advice on how to take care of my anthurium plant. I water when the soil is dry and it is next to but not in a window. But it is still having brown spots, and I can’t tell what is natural and what I need to do to help it.

Hi everyone, had a pretty bad fungus gnat problem recently I have done 2 mosquito bits treatments and read somewhere that if you put about a half inch layer of sand over the medium that can help to prevent adult gnats from being able to lay new eggs in the soil and newly hatched eggs to be able to escape. The sand combined with the mosquito bits seems to have worked extremely well but while using my moisture meter the couple plants I have put sand on top have much higher soil moisture level. Is the sand preventing the soil from being able to aerate and dry out naturally? Trying to avoid root rot here. Thanks so much in advance

Can anyone help me figure out what’s going on with my ficus triangularis? It’s been dropping leaves like crazy and I’ve noticed some of them have spots on them. Is it a pest or disease? Or water issue? Or something else?

Hello! I have spidermites on two plants for the first time. I washed them and used some bug be gone eco6 days ago but I still see 1 or 2. How do I get rid of them? Is it a long process? I caught it really early thankfully but I would like to save my plants

Does anyone know why the “leaves” are shriveled? And some of the ends look dried up. Do I need to water it more? I water it like once month

Help! I got Lily a week ago and repotted her. The new soil and pot I got had a hard time draining her and my new apartment gets more sun than I’m used to and I accidentally sunburnt her a little. After watering yesterday her spots got worse and developed white spots on the bottom of the leaves. I think she’s over watered, so I repotted her in (moist but not wet) soil with more pearlite and a rocky layer at the bottom. I didn’t see any root rot but I’m hoping the repotting in drier and better draining soil helps! I trimmed her leaves too but any help or tips is appreciated!! Has anyone else gotten little white dots on the bottom of their leaves?
