Help me save my string of turtles please! It's been slowly dying over the last six months and I think it's barely clinging to life. I water it on schedule with Planta. Should I repot? I've seen these inside glass jars - should I try that? I'm at a loss.

Does anyone know why my monstera esqueleto might be doing this? Its new leaves are turning limp and brown and the older leaves too. 4 inch plastic pot with drainage. under a grow light 8 hours a day, near a humidifier as well. Not sure what the problem is, I regularly fertilize. I’ve only had the plant a few months and have not repotted

Does my cactus have spider mites? I’ve read they live on leaves. Cacti don’t really have leaves. And this one is growing a new sprout. But I noticed this webbing. I had noticed the white stuff but nothing else abnormal, and with it growing a new sprout, just thought it was doing its own thing. If it is spider mites what would be the best way to handle this and cure my plant? TIAšŸ™

Anybody know why my aloe Vera is doing this? I have only had it for a few weeks, I watered it when I got it, and haven’t watered it since. Google says it’s caused by too much moisture! There’s drainage holes in my plant pot SOS help I can’t believe it’s sick so soon šŸ’”

Help!! I’ve had this lucky bamboo for about 5 years, it’s the plant I’m most attached to out of all of them. Just today one of its stalks turned yellow, and when this happened with a previous bamboo it died. Is there anything I can do? I separated the yellow stalk from the green ones and repotted them both. I’m going to try using distilled water for now to avoid having it be overexposed to fluoride/chlorine. Is there anything I missed or anything more I can do? -Roots on the yellow stalk are thinning, while the green stalks look just fine root wise

Anybody willing to offer personal experience and suggestions? This spider plant has developed these red splotches and irregular coloration in the leaves. Can anyone confirm the cause? I thought maybe sunburn, but still occurs in less direct grow light exposure. So, I recently treated the plant with Arber products for insects And fungus not knowing the cause. Today along with the usual pile of tiny granules under the pot which has been common occurrence, I found several tiny worm-like creatures, very light in color on the saucer beneath it. Most weren’t moving, but a few were moving so slowly as though they were perishing. I was told those piles of granules were made by beneficial insects and I Really hope I didn’t kill off a beneficial pest. Anyone know for certain? Thank you 🪓

My spring cactus started getting these odd brown markings on it. Anyone know why? It was doing fantastic in summer but has been dropping leaves (or whatever they’re called on a cactus)

My pothos plant has a yellowing leaf. I’m wondering if it is not enough sun or too much water possibly? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Woke up to find my ficus elastica burgundy’s lower leaf had turned orange. It looked completely green and healthy two days ago. I watered it yesterday, and let the soil completely dry out between waterings. Google can’t decide if this is a sign of thrips, rust, or simply overwatering. Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

I just got this Ficus altissimo ( or Audrey, it was unmarked). A few leaves look like this? Is that a disease or pest damage? Planta says it’s from being moved or low light.

Hi there! My bamboo’s leaves are becoming crispy dry and they’re folding inwards šŸ˜ž it happened before and I just trimmed the dry leaves, but it came back now and I’m wandering if any of you know what to do to help it? 🄲

Little worm looking bugs all over my monstera leaves, is this concerning? This is definitely one of the worse leaves, some of them don’t seem to have any
