Does anyone have any ideas why my white marble pothos is struggling? I had issue issues one to two months ago with some of the leaves yellowing so I cut watering back and it was fine for a little bit now the leaves are browning excessively. I haven’t moved it and the conditions in my house have an altered much either. During the summer, it was growing beautifully and I had no issues at all.
I’ve noticed much more browning around the leaves of this peacock plant the past couple of weeks. It’s been in the same spot for a couple years. Any thoughts as to why it’s browning more now?
Hi this is my piper betle prop that I recently got from one of my neighbors. It had roots and planted it in a chunky soil mix. Went all good for about a month. Now, I have no idea what these little black dots are, the white ones are definitely sap that I thought not to worry about. But when I googled it might be a hassle to treat it. And I want to know what the black dots are? Please I live at my sister’s place, and I don’t want any bugs in the house 😭. How do I treat it? TIA🙏🏻
Does anyone know what the problem here could be, the soil is still damp and I haven't watered it in a while but it is still going yellow and limp
Hey, can anyone tell me why my Dieffenbachia’s leaves are doing this? Overwatering? Not enough water?
Hello, I recently got this rhapis excelsa last week and I feel like I am struggling with it. I have watered it once after repotting it into a high draining palm mix and it has not enjoyed the experience thus far. Can it make a recovery?
Does anyone know what wrong with my monstera?? Idk what the yellow thing is
Pale tomato plant? I placed my tomatoes in full sun and they look like they’re getting sun bleached. There hasn’t been much growth beyond this point. I’ve never grown tomatoes so I don’t know if it’s supposed to look like this.
Discoloration? Does anyone know what this is and why it’s happening? Seems to be only affecting one leaf for now but I’m worried 😓
Wtf?? Why does my decursiva look like this?? No visible pests. Was completely fine last water.
Hi everyone! I’m kinda new to this, I had my small collection of home plants for over a year but still learning. I follow the schedule or try to from the app, but I’m not sure what I’ve been doing wrong. It’s looking very sad, leaves are very wrinkly and there was some yellow leaves that I removed. I thought it was too dry but maybe I overwatered? Can I still save it? 😢
hi, i have a new string of pearls (abt 3 weeks) and it has mold. i’ve never watered it. normally i’d scoop the top layer and sprinkle a little cinnamon but unsure in this case. any recommendations?
Give me strength! I’ve spent all summer fighting fungus gnats and every time I think I’ve got them, they’re back. Then, these tiny white bugs started crawling all over the soil of my plants, and up the stems. I don’t think they’re spider mites but I’m not sure… I have over 40 plants and have never had real pest issues. But we moved next to a “rewilded” park in January, and this summer has been hell. Having tried everything (and I really mean that - apart from ladybugs), I’ve gone scorched earth. I’m repotting everything. And, scouring their pots, and washing the roots and spraying the leaves. Then, quarantine in a bathroom (for humidity, plus a grow light), with a liberal pesticide spray. Then, when they come out of the bathroom, they get an alcohol/horticultural soap rub. I’m 80% done, and I’m exhausted. I love these plants but Christ, if this doesn’t work, I may scream… it’s worth it right?!
Still new to plant parenting! My variegated monstera standleyana has one lower leaf that turned yellow over the weekend. For the past few weeks it has been showing new growth like crazy considering it was propagating in water just a couple months ago. I came into work today and now the edge of the yellow leaf is browning but the little leaf on the left just popped out today. This pot doesn’t have a drainage hole so I know that is an immediate issue but it’s just weird that everything but that one leaf is doing great. Any ideas or recommendations?
Hi all, Anyone know what this is on my BOP? Is this normal? Thanks!
No matter what I do her leaves seem to always get kind of brown and crispy. She did have a problem with spider mites, but I got rid of it and even her new leaves after a week or two get brown and crispy. I feel like I’m watering her plenty but maybe not or maybe I’m watering her too much. I’m trying to stick with what the app says.
What would the white spots be on my black prince? Also, the white texture on my jelly bean, doesn't look like mealy bugs
I need help with my monstera! I just recently got her and repotted her into a bigger pot. She started wilting and getting yellow leaves, and I snip them off. I checked her roots and snipped off potential root rot? I gave her a fresh new chunky mix and waited to water her for a bit so roots could recover but she’s still wilting a little. Anyone know what’s happening?
Is their anything I can do with this? The roots still look good but the plant was died.
One of the new leaves on my avocado plant has a brown, dead tip on it. Is this salt buildup or could it be something else? I am giving the plant a very deep watering if it is salt buildup. I also let the soil dry out almost completely between watering. Is that too dry?
