This was looking great I just reported it about a week ago I think in the ocean Forest with tons of perlite IDK if that has anything to do with it but now my plan has dark spots on it and about four leaves fell off and they felt super waterlogged I don't visibly see any pests I don't know if I'm over watering it or if it's some kind of mold and if so how do I treat it 😩🤦

Hello all! This spicy boy was thriving about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and now he looks like this. He's just slowly shed leaves. All of my other jalapenos are doing Just fine, I've even got some fruiting. Can I save him? He was startied from seeds and don't want to give up on him.

Hi plant Mamas! I inherited a peace Lily from my mom and it is just droop city over here. I’m following the watering schedule and it’s in indirect light. I have another one that is perky as ever but has burnt leaves (I think from my mom’s house— otherwise it’s fine) Any ideas? Planta says I need to repot but does that seem right?

Hi! I’m in need of some help/advice. This is my Mexican snowball. It started to get super tall over the course of the last year or so, and now new babies are forming on the spots where leaves originally were on the stem. More and more leaves keep dropping off the top part as more little babies appear on the stem. What is happening? Is there something I am doing wrong? Is that normal growth like a burros tail grows (where it will slowly branch off more and more?)? Any and all information or advice is welcome (heck I might even have the wrong plant species for all I know, I went off Planta’s photo examination)

Can ANYBODY help me at least with one of these guys, please? Why does the top plant have those spots? Why does the leaf of the bottom left shrivel up like that? Why does the middle look so sad? Like it is so flimsy and clearly looks unhealthy. And why do the leaves of the bottom right have those brown spots and are so droopy? Do they have diseases maybe? I water them accordingly and give them all indirect sun or light from my plant lights.

Hi guys :) my mom propagated this peace lily for me so it’s always been in water and the roots are turning brown. What’s happening? I’ve tried hydrogen peroxide and cutting off the ends but they just went back to brown at the tips. It’s growing a new leaflet so it’s clearly growing. What do I do?!

Alright folk I need so help, my mom got this money tree about two years ago for her birthday and it’s been in our kitchen. It got no direct sunlight, but indirect light every single day and slowly each of the trunks started dying and wrinkling and getting mushy so I’m trying to save it by putting it in water, but I’m curious if anyone knows what’s happening. There were five and now there’s one. I pulled off two of the leaves because they started yellowing at the tips and I panicked because that’s how they’ve all been slowly dying.

Can I trim the browning leaves and leaves that looks like bugs have gotten to? I just bought this plant last Saturday like this.

Hello! New here. I've asked a few other groups but haven't found the answer. Can anyone tell me what these spots are on my philodendron ring of fire and how to get rid of them? It's so beautiful. It is a new plant. The other day I loosened her roots and mixed her soil with some new soil. Thanks in advance!

My otherwise pretty healthy coffee arabica developed this damage overnight, I didn’t see any pests nor did any known damage happen. I don’t have pets or anything; any idea what else it could be? I appreciate the help🙏 The leaves are a bit dusty but I can’t imagine that could cause this… right?

What is growing out of my cilantro? There’s a tall leafy stalk growing out of my cilantro. The leaves look very different on it. Is this the “flowering” that I’m supposed to pinch off?
