Help please! Newish plant mom! My Alocasia Amazonica (Polly) was fine one day and then looked like this the next day. It hasn’t grown anything new since I got it on July 3rd. I’ve been fertilizing and watering it based off the app. I’m so lost 😭

Help! We received this peace Lilly for my mother in laws funeral. It was left in the trunk of the car for a day which is why it looks like this. I transplanted it to a bigger pot, and watered it but it has not improved at all. What can I do to save this?

Can anyone help me with tips for my birds of paradise? I'm not sure if torn leaves are normal, especially to this frequency, but it's overall sparse and kind of ugly. I got it from a friend and waited literal months for this leaf, just for it to produce this. Is there any beautification/health advice? Thanks! 🍃 ❤️

I recently got this Monstera and she’s growing a new leaf, but it’s brown. I’m so new to plants I don’t know if this is normal or what.

If anyone has a Crassula "Estagnol" (aka "Spiralis"), is it normal for so many dead leaves to be on the stems? I know they're the older leaves and I expect them to die off but it looks, in my opinion, awful. Do I leave them or take them off? I've also been waiting for them to get long and start to grow over the sides. Does it do that?

I’m wondering if anyone can help me with what’s going on with my pearls and jade Pothos? It’s still growing long and healthy vines/leaves but closer to the base, the leaves are turning yellow and brown and dying. I don’t see any obvious pests and I let the soil dry before watering. The last photo shows how many leaves I have lost on one vine. Any suggestions/thoughts would be great!

My Butia Capitata has a pesky white scale problem and I think the seller sold it to me with that smh 😐 how do I get rid of them successfully at this point? I have treated the plant at least 5 times with pressurized water and a soapy alcohol insecticidal soap spray, but I keep finding several more every day.

My ferns are “ok” but I know they could be better. They get watered fairly regularly because they are by the sprinklers but I am wondering if it’s too hot or there’s too much sun?

Is it normal for a kalancho for its flowers to dry up and fall off but the leaves to keep growing? I’m not sure if I just stressed it out and now it’s recovering or if this is par for the course.

I recently (a few weeks ago) moved my Chinese evergreen to try and get the stems to straighten. It doesn’t seem to like it. There are a couple leaves turning yellow. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Heeeeeellp! My finicky fiddle leaf fig had been doing so well. But I noticed the soil was staying wet for WEEKS. Which I know is way too long. I left it alone, watered very scarcely, hoping it would be ok until repotting time. I checked the roots and they looked fine. The leaves started to droop and I even lost one. So I decided to go ahead and repot with a better, more well draining soil. Now the leaves started turning brown and the plant looks so droopy. I can’t tell if this is transplant shock, or something else. Otherwise nothing else has changed. I haven’t watered since the repot about a week ago. The soil is moist but drying much better now. Photos included of how it looked when it was healthy vs now 😭
