I truly cannot seem to keep this syngonium happy. Idk what happened but it just started declining and I can't get it to stop!! I've chopped and restarted and put it in a mini greenhouse to try to up humidity and give it a new chance. ANY recommendations or advice??😩You can see how much it's wilted in the last few months...it's pretty drastic!

I just replanted this basil from the grocery store about three weeks ago and am getting discolored leaves. Anyone have any ideas what this is or how to fix it?

Hello, some of my plants leaves are washing out and turning pale. What could cause this to happen? At first I thought I was fertilizing too frequently so I stopped for a while but it seems to be getting worse. I'm wondering if my grow lights are too strong or too close now.

I got this umbrella tree about a month go and it’s roots were growing through the plastic pots holes so I repotted on February 2nd. Over the past 3 days it’s dropped 5 entire stalks(leaves? Like the whole umbrella, not just one leaf). I follow the watering schedule on planta and let it get fairly dry. Some other posts I read suggested root rot but they seem healthy to me. Should I go back to the smaller plastic pot it came in? There is some new growth so it’s definitely still partially happy. I’m a new plant owner so I’m not really sure what to do next

Hi, I recently bought tissue culture from Orange Lake (about a month ago). I have a Thai Con Monstera and a Red Anderson Philodendron. They are planted starter plugs in 2in pots then I filled the remaining space with a mixture of Soil/Sphagnum Moss. I am maybe 2-3 weeks into the acclimation process and used an airtight clear container to maintain 100% humidity for about a week and a half before slowly exposing to air. They have been doing great and both even given me a new leaf. But while they were out I noticed that the tips seem to be a bit brown :( They still haven’t had exposure to sunlight and are about 7 inches from my grow light bar which stays on all day for the most part. I am wondering what could be the cause of this, how to fix it, and if this will seriously harm my plant. I tried to look up what I may have done wrong and I think 1. I may have been overwatering and 2. I did not know I should not be using fertilizer and am worried I ruined the roots. I used a very diluted mix but I still feel bad. In the future I would keep them in high humidity longer without messing with them, and use different media as someone recommended fluvial stratum.

What would you say this is? Its from a very small Chinese money plant. I don't think its from overwatering. Colder temps is the only thing I can think of. We just had a change from 70s in the day to 50s, getting down to 40s or high 30s at night. It is right by a window. It has lived thru this cold or colder before tho, so is it just the sudden change?

i have two pothos who have been beautiful and perfect for almost a year now, i’ve taken care of them identically. i perhaps waited a bit too long between my last watering, but nothing crazy. i watered them & gave plant food 2 days ago. one on the right perked right up, one on the left still super droopy. i went in & plucked any yellow / dead leaves and am not sure where to go from here. let it sit & see what happens? more or less water? this is where i always get stuck & dig myself a hole with plants! any advice is very appreciated

So I was at my sister's for dinner and she has this beautiful pink plant that I always want to steal and I went to take a picture so I could ask you all what it was and this is what I found only 1 leaf left and very sad she has been working to much and neglected it.. I'm gonna try to save it but any help would be great. Thanks

🔔Please help!!🔔 I got this big beautiful plant on NYE and, after 2 days in quarantine to make sure it was ok, I repotted it. The roots were healthy and everything looked fine. I rinsed it down and repotted it. I felt the pot it was in was a little big, especially since I took off some dead leaves and in the removal of old dirt and rinsing, some little roots broke off. I’m wondering if the pot I repotted it in is too small? It seemed appropriate for the root ball, but maybe wasn’t? I have 3 yellowing leaves now, and I know plants can go into shock after repotting, but I don’t want to lose any more leaves! 🫣😫 please help advise is this a normal transition and I should cut off the yellow leaves? Or repot into the original pot it came in? **in the last pic: the blue outer pot is the original pot it came in, the inside pot is the smaller size I repotted it in.

Anyone got some good advice on how to get rid of scale bugs. They seem to love my lemon tree and I’ve noticed them on a couple of other plants recently too. Short of soapy water and picking them off by hand I’m at a loss as to what else I can do. Any decent spray that works?? All advice greatly appreciated. Am in the uk btw.

Prayer Plant baddies SOS! I have this sick peacock plant that I cannot seem to heal. I started to repot it today for fear of root rot but I don’t smell or see any signs of it now that he’s out of the pot. What I do see are some very wrinkly, mushy tubers. I give this plant ample light and plenty of humidity and water it according to schedule so I’m kinda stumped as to what it needs to get better. Should I cut off the wrinkly tubers? Repot in new soil? Any advice would be immensely appreciated!

I inherited this money tree and it has this going on. Anybody know if this is OK I have repotted it, it’s roots are fine. I don’t think I have overwatered it. It’s lost a few leaves since I got it. It probably needs more sun than where I have it. I will soon move it to a sunnier place.

Does anyone know why the new growth on this baby rubber would be browning? Is it just because it’s in a new environment and adjusting? The rest looks really healthy Also, to keep this variegated, should I be chopping off any leaves that come in with little to no variegation?

Hi everyone! I've got a question about how to best support my triostar. Ever since I separated the plant into two parts, this fella has not been doing great: first he got mold in his pot, then I tried watering him less - he dried out and started shedding leaves daily. A few months ago I changed his pot to a smaller one and changed the soil, and now make sure to water and mist more often to make sure he has enough. His other half seems to have bounced back perfectly, having much the same pot, location, and watering schedule, but this guy is still quite sad. I fertilized him today, if it's a nutrients problem. I'd appreciate any advice as to this little man, I want to make him happy:) Thanks gang!🩷
