Hello! I am new to flower growing and planted snap dragons earlier this year. The flowers appear to be falling over and I am really lost of what the problem is. I have just moved the lights closer and am now growing them without the lid on, but need some tips or suggestions on how to fix them. Can they still thrive if I fix the problems soon enough? Any help is appreciated, thank you!!!

My momma has a fiddle-leaf fig in her house and she’s concerned about why it’s only growing at the bottom. It wasn’t always like this lol. There were leaves mostly at the top before, but now the leaves that were growing on the stems seemed to all dry out before growing. I tried looking it up but answers are pretty vague, just seeing if someone would have a better idea about why, or what next steps to take. The leaves are so thick, I can’t see whether cutting them would do anything. She’ll be out of town soon so we’re moving her plants to my condo so I can watch them. Would appreciate any and all insight, thanks!

😮‍💨 I have been struggling with understanding her proper care for almost two years now. It went from full and vibrant to misshapen and dull. After repotting it (TWICE) and cutting it back to nearly nothing, it’s now actively growing and and vibrant…but the LEAVES why are they not themselves? 🥲

Hi! It looks like there are deposits of yellow or grey fine dust on the tops of a bunch of the leaves of my fiddle leaf fig tree. It’s like a fine powder/mineral deposit and I’m able to wipe it off without much fuss using a gentle cloth and some misting. I do not see webbing or any other signs of potential pests, just whatever this substance is. I’m wondering if anyone knows what this could be/whether it is cause for concern (see pics)? Thanks!!

Can any plant doctors give me a second opinion? My corn plant has been developing these rusty spots in the center of its leaves, which grow and consume the leaf after a few weeks. This doesn’t look like underwatering to me, and the pattern is very specific… what should I do?

I just troubleshooted my plant with Dr. Planta and the diagnosis was under watering. I already repotted her on Monday since the leaves started dropping and now the treatment plan says to water it again. the top layer is dry but the roots are still feel damp, and the moisture meter says dry. should i even attempt to water it again? and since the leaves dropped will they grow back in the same spot or do i need to prune to encourage new growth?

Hello there! Help needed 🚨 These two plants are constantly swarming with giant gnats or fruit flies. It’s getting really disturbing to live around. I’m not sure if it is also hurting the plants, because they have looked healthier than they do now. I’ve looked up lots of remedies online to catch them. None have been working. I’m not sure if it’s the soil causing this or the plant itself. I would love anyone and everyone’s opinion! I’m in the verge of getting rid of my plants because it’s so bad. 😩

Should I be concerned about these white spots?! I have had this plant for two months and am just noticing them on the back side of the leaves.

I recently got a Alocasia Nobilis and I just wanna know if it’s normal to have them curl a little bit. It’s not the best picture but I’m sure u see what I’m talking about.

Any idea what could be going on with the leaves on my Chlorophytum fireflash? There was two plants in my original pot and it was root bound so I repotted it today. I separated the plants into separate pots and noticed the black/brown spots all over the smaller one that was tucked under the other plant.

Perfect Plantista is offering 10% off their new pest prevention spray. The code is below. If you’re a first time buyer you can get $10 off with code LXZ-X5-JNV0R. They’ve changed the formula. I hope is smells as good as before.

PS I HATE those sticky yellow butterflies that catch fungus gnats. I put them in my 30 odd plants the other night and between my getting stuck with sticky butterflies on my shirt, my pants, my sleeves, my hands, etc. and on my husband, too, I could’ve won the big prize on America’s Funniest Home Videos. We won’t count the number of swearwords I said, and the hysterical gesticulations and the killer faces. Even my dog ran from me. Do see the above video! 😉

SICK AND TIRED OF FUNGUS GNATS! Then please see the YouTube video called “how to prevent and get rid of fungus gnats/plant pest”. It’s by “reallybigplant”; the narrator is very well educated and extremely knowledgeable about getting rid of fungus gnats on a permanent basis. I’m sold!🥳🥳🥳

What’s causing my Peperomia’s leaves to split? The new growth is also looking deformed. I use Planta as a guideline for watering and use the skewer trick to make sure it needs water. It’s placed a couple feet from a south facing window so it’s possibly getting too much light? But never direct sunlight. Any insight is appreciated.
