Hey there! I just got this Cobweb Spiderwort plant about 2 months ago. It has had several inches of new growth along with two new baby sprouts! About a month into having this plant, one leaf in the middle of each stem started drooping then went from green, to yellow, and finally to brown where I had to cut off the dead leaves. Now, the leaves near the bottom are doing that same pattern while the ones following it are beginning to droop. Does anyone know if this is their natural leaf cycle or if there is something I am doing wrong and how I can fix it!

Sorry, I’m pretty sure someone posted like the exact same thing, but I couldn’t find the answers. My Monstera is yellowing two leaves at the bottom that have been there for a while and I’m not sure if it’s bad or not. We just transplanted it into a larger pot, so maybe it’s the trauma, but I don’t know. Anything helps, thank you!

Need help saving my dragon scale alocasia! It has mealy bugs so I’ve been treating it by dipping a q-tip into rubbing alcohol and dabbing onto the infected parts I see, but I can’t seem to ever get rid of them fully. A couple of leaves are also dying and I don’t know if it’s because of the bugs or the treatment I’ve been doing. I had a baby leaf coming but I treated it with some rubbing alcohol yesterday because I saw mealy bugs on it, but today it was going yellow and looked very limp so I just took it off the plant.

Hi everyone! I’m a new plant person but it’s been a long time goal of mine and I’m beating my low expectations for keeping things alive 😄 I am struggling with a gnat problem. It appears I have fruit flies or gnats that love living in my plants and keep coming back after my efforts to get rid of them. Any suggestions??

Does anyone know what might cause these spots on my Thai Constellation?

Watering my plants in the shower and noticing that my sedum burrito is dripping discolored water after I water it. Is this normal? I don’t think it’s supposed to be clear, but yellow definitely doesn’t seem usual

Does anyone know what’s wrong with my succulent? The leaves are firm- it’s not dehydrated, and it’s the same color as when I got it. It was very uniformly positioned when I got it, not lopsided or leaves laying on each other.

Hello All, Plant: Croton Photos: before and After photos attached. Issue: The leaves pf the plant are drying and eventually falling. I am watering weekly once, keeping beside humidifier. Can someone help me saving this one!! Kindly let me know if I need to do something and save this. Thanks in advance.

Hi, we’ve been away for a week and once back we found this beauty in very bad shape. The leaves are falling off at the slightest movement! I haven’t given her more water as I know she’s picky and I’m not sure if this is a result of too much or too little? Any suggestions?

Help! These are on my outdoor mixed flower pot. Confined to one, just noticed today and sprayed with Arber insecticide. Of course, it rained an hour later. I’ll treat again when the rain passes tomorrow. Can anyone help ID these guys?

Need Help! I got a Peace lily, it’s my first one ever! she’s not doing very well and im not sure why! She doesn’t get much sun, is at least 10 feet from a window, and always indirect sunlight. i haven’t moved her into the bigger pot that she’s in (her nursery pot is sitting in it for now) because I read they prefer small pots that their roots can take up! please help! watered yesterday! also i did have her too close to a window before which is why the leaves are browned but now that she’s moved, she’s just not thriving… any help is greatly appreciated 🩵

Aglaonema isn’t doing well after repotting. I’m moving her inside and placing her near the humidifier but any other recommendations would be great. Should I trim the droopy leaves or wait for them to recover?

Hi! I would love some feedback on my Dracaena/Corn Plant. I’m very new to plants and I don’t want him to die. I got him (his name is Fred) 5 months ago and he was doing really great in his original pot in my bedroom right next to a window that I would leave open for him while i was at work during the day. I watered him lightly every 3-4 days and there were zero issues. - I now know that corn plants do NOT like that much water or sunlight but he did great! Until I moved him to my living room nearly 2 months ago. I moved him to the center of the room where there are more windows but he wasn’t next to one like before. I noticed his soil was pretty wet so I held off on watering for longer than usual and then I noticed his leaves starting to darken. That’s when I got Planta and used the AI feature and tried researching as much as I could. I decided to repot him and his soil was WET at the bottom and I got a slightly bigger pot because I noticed his stalk was pushing the edge on his other one. I put him in a new pot with fresh dry soil and lots of drainage at the bottom and I gave him a week of no watering - only misting his leaves. I tried leaving him out on my balcony at night for some humidity but only at night to avoid too much sun. I switched to watering him once every other week and making sure his soil was dry before I did. I turned all the AC vents off in the nook of my apartment where he is and I crack the blinds during the day unless it’s rainy and then I leave them slightly open for him. NOTHING WORKS. He is getting worse every day and his leaves are turning dark brown and I want to save him. I attached some photos of him - his soil looks a little wet not because I just watered him yesterday and it’s brighter than usual because I wanted you guys to be able to see him lol Someone please help us!

Hello 👋 Can someone tell me if my poinsettia plant is still alive? And if it's still worth keeping? In the spring, it sprouted lots of green leaves, but in the summer, it turned like this. I've already sprayed it with insecticide and put it inside next to the window, but I don't know what else to do.

I think I’m under watering my monstera. It hasn’t put out any new growth in a long time. How much water do you think this bad boi needs? It’s right in a northwest window corner and the pot is about 12” across and 18” deep. The soil ALWAY feels dry and registers as dry on a meter. I think because I’ve been afraid to overwater it, I’ve swung too far in the other direction. What say you, people of planta?

I got my Monstera Thai Constellation about a week ago, i repotted it because it was severely root bound, and it developed two brown areas on leaves that kept spreading. I cut off the area that was on the hole-y leaf. And pruned the other leaf off because it was not going to get any better. Should i be concerned about how i pruned it?

Is this normal for a lupine???

Hey Plant Fam, not sure what happened with the blue chalk stick (I think it was sun or water or both), but either way does she have any hope or is this the end of the line?
