Update as of 2/16
Itās been a week since I repotted, trimmed the dead leaves off, and put my corn plant under a grow light. Iām concerned that I didnāt fix the original problem because the leaves are continuing to turn yellow/brown. Is it too soon to be worried? Is my plant just trying to recoup from being repotted? Iām wondering if there is anything else I can do to try to save this one from the plant grave yard. Looking for any helpful advice/tips. Thanks everyone!
Original post from 2/9
Please help! The leaves on my poor corn plant have started turning yellow and brown on the tips. The app suggested it was due to being overwatered/lack of light. I donāt think that itās been overwatered because Iāve been following the watering schedule and made sure that the soil was dry before I watered it a couple of days ago. I currently have it sitting under a grow light to help give it a boost. Is there anything else I can do to help save it?
Appreciate any recommendations for saving this one before itās too late.
Thank you!

any tips of how to heal my baby? she's been repotted into a bigger pot and put in with new soil, fertilizer and i'm keeping up on watering her. i believe it's due to one of my cats snacking on her leaves... im watching him closely to make sure he leaves my plant alone. (yes, i know these are toxic to cats. my cat is fine)

So I want to start growing plants and purchased my first plant the money tree. It began getting cuts on the leaves and I was making the mistake of direct sunlight so maybe thatās why but are those slight cuts on the leaves normal? Please any recommendations are appreciated

I got this weeping fig a week or two ago, and Iāve just noticed this mildew-like stuff on it. When I scratch it it rubs off, and itās definitely not a living insect as far as I can see. Any ideas? Thank you!

What are these spots? At first I thought it was sun damage but itās more raised, almost like some sort of plant eczema.
Help!!

Hello! New here, and new to plants as well! Curious if these mushrooms growing in my plant soil are a bad sign? Thanks!

Help! My leaves are turning yellow and I donāt know why. I may have overwatered it 10 days ago so Iām not watering it right now. I have a light for extra sun because Iāve been told the plant might not have enough light. I replanted it about two weeks ago. I donāt know what to do š

Unhappy Maggie
Hello,
Iām a plant dad, and I really need help, my Majesty Palm (Maggie) that Iāve had for 5 years is not doing well.
I donāt know what to do. I noticed here not doing well so I repotted her, while doing that I separated her roots.
Sheās not getting better. Sheās turning yellowish brown, a new leaf sprouted and died before it grew. The pot is huge, and the soil is wet closer to the bottom but kind of moist towards the top. Because of that Iām scared to water her because of the fear of over watering.
Maggie has been with me through som really times Iām extremely sad and concerned about her, I donāt want to lose her.
Someone PLEASE HELP

Hi there! My bamboo shoots are all yellow, iām thinking from fertilizer.
The side shoots are both pushing out a new leaf. Any advice? Should I cut the side shoots and propagate in water for a bit? :/

Are these long enough or enough to plant?

Hi all!
Iāve been going nuts with fungus gnats for a while now and I was wondering what soil people use and if they have a better option? Iāve tried miracle gro and espoma but both have tons of gnats fresh out of the bag. I heard it can be about how the store stores the bag? I liked fox farm happy frog but definitely got thrips from it (timing, location, reintroduction). I know gnats arenāt a huge problem, and pests are a part of plant parenthood, but Iām just trying to see if there is another option? I even got into carnivorous plants, but I still feel like Iām constantly surrounded by gnats. Iām not ready to go semi-hydro but I would be willing to mix my own stuff if that is what it takes. (Picture unrelated š)

Even with a grow light my little Swiss is still getting yellow leaves. This one popped up yesterday and is getting yellower by the minute. What am I doing wrong. Iām a beginner with house plants but I want to learn. Iāve become disabled and Iām hoping this brings me comfort.

Iāve only been watering when the top is dry⦠I havenāt had this plant for very long, only about a month or so. The two leaves that are yellowing are the first two on the second stalk, idk if itās the same plant or a second plant. All other plants I got from the shop I got this one from have been doing amazing so I think itās something Iāve been doing. Whatās happening to my raphidaphora tetrasperma?

Can someone help me figure out whatās going on with my friends plant? The app says itās āunder fertilizedā could that be the issue I was going to repot it for her but wanted to get some opinions before I did that.

First time this has happened to one of my plants. This new leaf came out but it came out very curled and light green. Is this leaf going to die? Did I do something wrong?
