does anyone know what’s wrong w my dieffenbachia? - it was doing SO well but was very root bound so I repotted her. after that she just started yellowing and dropping a lot. I watered her and her leaves perked up a bunch BUT now a buuuuunch of leaves are yellowing. I *would* suspect overwatering but everyone online says they LIKE a bunch of water. I have no clue why all of a sudden she’s doing so badly
It's finally time to say goodbye. I feel soooo guilty!! This is before I joined Planta. Perhaps I could have saved him. 😪😢💔 He was soooo majestic when I brought him home ... I'm a murderer y'all!🥺💔 Never again will I let shame stop me from begging for help. Don't be me! I'm so sorry big guy!😢😢
This is my pothos I'm not sure what happened but I noticed it was turning yellow and had red spots last night
found this scindapsus at the grocery store and have been hoping for one so couldn't pass her up; I checked the leaves before buying, but over the past couple of days I've found yellowing and/or dark patches on about a dozen leaves. I repotted when I brought her home so not sure if this might be in response to that? my first thought based on the leaves was a fungal infection of some sort but I'm not totally sure so wanted to get some second opinions, and if it is a fungal infection, advice on treating it because I've never dealt with one before. thank you so much for any thoughts/advice!!
Hello! My string of pearls died. I think I need to just repot and start over ....I saved some pieces. It was already struggling when it was given to me. I don't have a green thumb at all. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
M Flaming Katy was sick with fluffy mildew and it wouldn’t shift so she’s had to have a bit of a chop…. Hope she makes a come back 🤞🏻😂
My sedum adolphii is drooping how do I help her stand up right and what am I doing wrong!?!?
My thanksgiving cactus was doing great a few months ago and all of a sudden it is starting to turn brown from the bottom and fall off the plant its self. does anyone know whaha going on??? It was so full a month ago and now it’s falling apart
Hello, friends! I got this lovely bromeliad from Trader Joe’s awhile back but only recently downloaded Planta. I’m starting to notice these yellowish and rusty spots on the leaves. Am I watering her too much? (The buildup is from hard water - I’d appreciate any advice you might have on that as well 😁) Thanks so much in advance for your help!
Help! This is an Alocasia Zebrina, I’ve had her for about a year now and all of her leaves are turning yellow all of the sudden. I haven’t changed the watering or light schedule. I live in MI and she’s been inside the entire time I’ve had her. I have never repotted her because the roots r still so tiny. Any ideas?? Is this what a natural dormancy looks like? Here are the before and after pictures (left before, right is now).
Can anyone give me advice on what to do about my caladium angel wings? She was lush when I first got her. She was originally further away from the window and deeper in my living room. She started to sag and the leaves all died one by one. And I moved her here and it still continued. I was keeping up with her watering schedule but nothing seemed to help. How can I save it now?
General post here but I’m hoping to help some people out! I’m noticing a lot of people having issues with plants asking for help and when zooming in on the pictures I see a lot of times there’s possible spider mites so I want to offer some advice! Alocasias (Polly’s especially) are massive spider mite magnets, but spider mites don’t always leave webbing on the leaves, sometimes they’re just clusters of white dots or even white dots spread around on the leaves. They will kill your leaves and eventually the plant if not taken care of. If you suspect spider mites shower the leaves, spray with a mix of water and Castile soap every few days for a couple of weeks. (I measure with my heart but Google can give you actual measurements). The Castile sap has the right balance of fats to kill the spider mites and it’s very gentle on leaves if you use the unscented versions. I treat my plant room once every week or two in order to stop them because my alocasias keep attracting them. I also prefer a continuous spray bottle because it has a much finer mist that’s easier to get every crevice with. Little side note: For more delicate plants like orchids my advice might not be suitable. Common and more rare house plants are what I have and use this treatment on. Monsteras, trandscantias, stromanthe trio stars, pepperomias, philos, pothos, jade tree, begonias, etc etc.
Hi! My plant had started dropping leaves and drooping. I was wondering if anyone knew if i was under or over watering her, or if there was something I could do to perk her up! Thanks!
does anyone know what’s wrong with my monstera albo? the black has spread over the past few days…
Does anyone happen to know what's wrong with my succulent's leaf?
Most of the leaves on my pothos are getting brown at the tips. Any reason why?
Can anyone tell me what’s going on with my Alocasia? I moved it away from a window once I saw this happening because I thought maybe it was the change of seasons here in NJ. It’s been so healthy and I haven’t changed anything with her care. I water when my water meter shows she’s dry and keep under a grow light. I add pant food when watering as well.
Can anyone help advise what does dark brown spot means on an umbrella tree? How do I cure this?
My Kalanchoe kewensis has developed these lines of discoloration along the leaves. They are on the surface only to begin with, but eventually, they will form a dip. Is this scale?
Got this dracaena 3 weeks ago, the tip of the leaves keep getting scorched. I put it in partial sun light, water every 10 days. Any ideas why? Thanks y’all.
