Apologies for a longer description, I’m very new to taking care of plants: Ive had this snake plant for a little while. You’ll notice a few bite marks from my cat, though she hasn’t tried to bite it lately. I’m noticing the leaf on the right is curling more, so I’m not sure if this means I need to water it more or if it’s okay to wait a few more days to let it process before watering it more. I guess my question is: is there anything looking unhealthy about this plant that I should take note of or change about its routine? I’ve spritzed it with small amounts of water every few days just to give it small amounts of hydration without soaking all of the soil too much, but I’m scared I’m doing too much/too little to take care of it. Any suggestions?

Hi! Is my peace lily too far gone to save?? I’m a new plant owner and my peace lily has been thriving for a while, but it needed to be repotted. After repotting, it began to droop badly and die. I realized the pot didn’t have a drainage hole, so the app told me to switch to a pot that did. I then switched it to a pot with a drainage hole, and ever since has DRASTICALLY gotten much worse. Is there anything I can do to save it?! TIA!

So we have a few problems here… First off, my orchid is clearly not doing well. Also, my global green pothos is not doing well I don’t think. Please leave me tips on how I can save my plants! 🌱

This silver snake plant always looks so sad. I’ve moved it into a smaller pot, moved it around the house, given it less water… but nothing works ):

What could cause my hydrangea to do this?? I bought it 2 days ago. It was beautiful yesterday and today it looks like this. Put it outside a few hours ago hoping it would help but it seemed to make it worse.

Anyone have an Oxalis Iron Cross shamrock? I have very happy shamrocks of other varieties including purple oxalis, but my Iron Cross is wilting, leggy, and sad looking no matter what I do. I’ve tried different windows for light intensity, repotted into the well-draining mix I use for my others, checked for rot and pests… I’m at a loss 😭

My orchid appeared healthy, then suddenly the flower fell off. The plant has continued to turn brown from top to bottom. I had been watering every three days with an ice cube. After the bloom fell off, I started using an ice cube every other day. I’ve been giving it orchid food once a week. Given the color, I assumed it’s not getting enough water, but it’s only gotten worse since I upped the water. Any advice?

Hi everyone! I desperately need help with my fiddle!! I brought her home about 2-3 weeks ago. I gave her a few days before I repotted her. Water her thoroughly after but then 2 days later she got all droopy. I’ve moved her around my house in different lighting but nothing is perking her up. I don’t know what to do 😫

Hi friends! I have a little ivy plant that has been declining ever since I got it. I can’t figure out exactly what the problem is but the leaves have been getting dry and dead no matter what I do differently. Any advice is appreciated!

Hi everyone, My cat chewed up the leaves of my $ tree, unfortunately it has been declining since. I am not sure what to do anymore. The bottom roots are getting soggy. And I just watered it today based on “plantas recommendation” any help would be appreciated. It was coming back to life before my cat chewed the leafs again. Sigh. He finally has stopped chewing the plant now that I added Chili powder to it but the plant seems to be doing worst. I was told to propagate it and put it in water but also to just repot it in new soil that is dry. Don’t want my tree to die🫠. I added pictures of the roots.

It’s been great watching my pothos grow into this beauty but in the last few days, this single leaf has been turning yellow. Should I be concerned? Everything else seems fine - I water when the top soil dries out and it’s been in the same spot since last year. I’ve not had any other issues since I potted it 7 months ago. Thanks for your comments!

My elephant ear (giant taro) collapsed this morning. It looked beautiful and tall yesterday. What do you think is the issue? Should I repot it in a bigger pot? I was thinking of splitting into three anyway. Let me know what you think!

I recently got a Chinese Evergreen plant and the leaves seem to be curling up. Does anyone know why? Also i bought it already in a self watering pot which im not the biggest fan of so i watered it from the top for its first watering. I added a picture of it from when i first got it (the last pic) also it’s my first time with this plant !! I had to cut a leaf off bc it turned yellow 😕

Please help! Got this bonsai as a christmas present this year (i have never looked after one before), looked beautiful with many dark green leaves. Unfortunately over the last 2 months it has taken a turn for the worst, has dropped 3/4 of its leaves and obviously isn’t well. Watering with the bottom whole for 20 mins when plants advises me too, has plenty of indirect sunlight. Did use some liquid bonsai food on it (for about 2 months when planta told me to) by adding it to the water in the correct amount as advised by the packaging, stopped using when it started dropping leaves. My cousin also got the same bonsai tree for christmas this year and that one is flourishing in her cloakroom (toilet room). Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! I got this clipping and was advised to put it straight into dirt. It looks like near the root it’s shrinking. Wondering if I could save it by cutting above the shrinking area and to start over with developing a root system?

I found some cobweb in some of my plants. Can anyone help me figure out what this is?

Prissy is beginning to have burnt tips on quite a few of her leaves. I’d appreciate any suggestions anyone may have to help her feel better. She’s a sweet girl.
