Just saw this on my "imperial red" philodendron. Anything I should worry about? The rest of the plant looks fine.

I got this from my boyfriend, all put together in one small pot and tried rinsing the roots and re-potting into a 7 inch pot. There was originally a panda plant in here as well but it broke off at the root:(. I know it’s not healthy but I have no idea where to start with there being multiple plants in one. Leaves from all plants have been turning brown and squishy and detaching, as well as many brown spots on the leaves.

I figured out what's wrong (maybe) I found a pink elastic band on all three stalks I don't know if this is what's wrong or should I still cut off the brown parts?

Hi! So I found this girl in the garbage area of my apartment and I didn’t want to just let her get thrown away so I grabbed her. She’s a good size but a little droopy. I gave her a good water yesterday but she didn’t perk up. I want to repot but I’m not sure what size to get. This is my first time really taking care of a plant other than a succulent so any advice is appreciated!

Hi all! My kalanchoe started flowering around 2.5 weeks ago. I had initially thought the yellowing and falling off of leaves was due to it expending so much energy on flowering but now I am suspecting a fungal infection. Is anyone able to confirm this and have any suggestions on resolving it?

My begonia that grew a ton and was very happy has all of a sudden began wilting. I just bought grow lights for it but is there any other reason why it would be like this?

My corn plant has looked like this for the past year. I water it once a week and it’s in a west facing window. Any ideas what’s wrong? Thank you!

Successful fern parents - I want a lush bushy fern and this one is looking leggy, scraggly, and unwelll. I’ve repotted her a couple times due to water logging and poor drainage, but she is still looking rough. She’s in a mix of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite. I covered the top soil with some spaghnum moss to help retain some moisture. Do I just leave her alone until the soil is completely dry before watering again?

So lately I’ve been looking at my Syngonium, and I’ve noticed that some leaves look chewed. I have a cat, and occasionally he goes near my plants, but I make sure he doesn’t damage them and he never does. Any idea what’s going on?

I have a baby lemon tree who’s leaves have started to shrivel and turn yellow at the tips before dropping. Anyone know what this is or how I can improve my plant health?

Hey guys, my umbrella plant has taken a turn on me. The leaves are starting to look like this and keep dropping. I noticed the trunks also appear to be dying. Help please!

Hi all, can someone help me figure out how to help my plant? I can’t figure out the watering schedule and how much light he needs. Right now he’s near a south facing window (not directly in the light) and he’s dropped two more leaves. Thank you!

First, let me thank all you plant pros who help out us noobs. I have 29 thriving houseplants and one problem child, my coffee plant. The ends of the leaves get crispy. Coffee plants apparently need a lot of water, and I tend to be a little stingy when watering houseplants, so I don’t think this is from overwatering; but underwatering is a possibility. I switched to only filtered water for this guy, but that hasn’t stopped the problem. Maybe it needs more humidity? It is under a grow light.
