Hey y’all!! So I am located in southeast Idaho so it is dry ALL the time (it is currently 19% humidity), super hot in the summer, and super cold in the winter. I few months ago I was gifted a Boston fern. They are gorgeous so I understand why but I also know that Idaho is really not the place for them! Brandon the Boston Fern has been doing okay for the conditions he has been given but today I noticed crispy tips😭 I mist him probably once or twice a week and follow plantas water schedule as long as it’s needed (has been everytime lol). If anyone has any tips and tricks let me know!

I’ve had this basil for about 3 weeks, always inside. It started to get black spots on it this week. Is this bacterial? It has plenty of light and drainage.

This poor plant is an attempted rescue - the last potential survivor from a plant catastrophe in my mother in law’s rented house where the light didn’t reach and the heating wasn’t on downstairs through the winter. I had to cut the plastic pot off to repot it, and even being as gentle as possible, only shreds of the root system remained intact. I’m a monstera and pothos kind of plant parent and don’t know much about succulents - the first photos are the rescue operation and the final photo is today. It’s looking pretty grey and toppling out of its pot if moved too quickly. Is it alive or am I just propping up a dead plant? If there’s hope for it, how much should I water it while waiting for roots to develop?

Hi all! I recently picked up this beauty off Facebook marketplace. It says tropical foliage on the tag - I think it’s a bird of paradise. It has browning leaves but also a new leaf is still coming into fruition so there’s a lot of hope! I am still fairly new to planting and this task seems daunting so I want to make sure I do everything right. Any recs for getting her back to health? I am going to add a lot more soil to the pot & she is in a sunny sunny room but otherwise im not sure of the next steps!!!

Hi! What are these spots on the Echinopsis? How do you get rid of them? Repotted these guys from the ground to a pot and saw they had these spots. (They were covered in weeds and grass clippings - if that helps)

I’ve had this snake plant for a few years. Recently the leaves started pulling out. I have no idea what the root system in these looks like but I’d say it was overwatered and started to rot which is why the leaves are just pulling out of the soul. I’m going to repot it, probably in the same pot but I need some advice. Maybe a step by step guide. Should I throw these leaves out or are the salvageable

My carnations were doing well as you can see. I recently moved it from my center island in my kitchen to a bookshelf that has a grow light. Apparently the light was too much. It was there for maybe three days. I noticed it browning and the leaves dying in some parts. I put it outside on my table for now. What can I do?

I’m looking for some advice about my jade plant. When I got it a little over a year ago it already had some unhealthy leaves, but it has seemed to have gotten a lot worse since then. Quite a few of the leaves have shriveled and died. I’m not sure if I’ve been watering it too much, too little, or just inconsistently. I water it about every month when the soil is completely dry. It sits next to a window and gets a decent amount of light. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Any suggestions on what might be causing this, or tips on how I can help it recover? (The picture on the left is what it looked like when I got it. The picture on the right is its current state.)

Anyone have any advice on how to make the glare go away. I made something temporary but i feel like it looks crappy. i’d love to hear people’s thoughts! i love the light i just got it but this is the only downside. It has a 35 watt sansi grow lightbulb.

This is my peach tree. I brought it full grown and it got sick and I thought it died. Then a baby shoot came out from the bottom. It was all nice and green now it is getting these rust spots. I have sprayed with copper side but it seems to be getting worse. Help. I want to say this peach tree. Should I take it out of the ground and replant it else where? Should I spray with something else? I am located in South Carolina.

Okay plant community help a girl out here, my calathea is driving me a little crazy (that’s an understatement) I got her as a gift when I got into grad school and after being lush and vibrant for two years she became the biggest drama queen. Please help! Is it time to let her go?

My new plant. New leaves coming out and looked big and healthy, then when washing up the leaves I saw what looks like chew holes on a couple of leaves. What is it?!
