Hello. Should I be concerned about my Alocasia Polly leaves changing color?

My amaryllis has red spots. Last year it had the same problem and I applied Bonide Captain Jack Copper Fungicide, it improved a little bit and then winter started and the plant died but this year the plant is growing back with the same problem. What should I do?

Hello, this cactus seems to be sick but still strong and growing! Is there anything I can do for it?

My allocation is very dry and I just watered it so one of its leaves was drooping, but should I move it to a brighter spot because it’s summer?

I have a polkadot plant that is already lost two of its stems and now it’s leaning over the side. Do you think it’s dead? Or is there something I could do to save it? I moved it to a brighter spot.

Hii :) does anyone know if the crinkled leaf edges on this baby are part of normal plant growth? Should I cut them? The plant has multiple healthy new leaves growing, so it’s living well, but are these dried leaves a sign that it needs to be watered more, or should I move it? It gets a decent amount of water since it’s in my bathroom where there’s more humidity, however there is no window so it only gets artificial light. Any thoughts?

I’ve had Orkee for over a year now, and I want to keep them desperately! I got them around the same time a family member passed on and I have found some new motivation these past few months to keep them alive. The thing is I have no clue what to do about the dry leaf? I don’t know if I should cut it or if I should let it be. I also have a plans to move them to an all water vase for them to stay fully hydrated. (Inspiration from an Instagram post saying that you can leave orchids in water without changing it out, but it seems like it’s for healthy plants only?) What do y’all recommend? I want to make sure Orkee is thriving asap 💞 thank you!!

My cactus keeps getting these little tiny fuzzy white dots on it. I have scrubbed it with a toothbrush and vinegar water but it just comes back. The cactus seems to be unbothered. Any idea what I should do?

My (I think) parlor palm has gotten very brown and crispy. What am I doing wrong?

Is this root rot on my snake plant??? Its leaves were drooping even before I repotted it a month ago and its leaves were wrinkly and it turns out it was because the soil wasn’t thick enough to hold the water long enough for the roots to absorb it. I repotted it into chunkier but still airy soil. I watered it 2-3 days ago and it’s kind of dark but not soggy at all, only a little moist. I only water my snake plant when the soil is completely bone dry all the way through.

This yellow “leaf” isn’t crunchy . It’s soft and smooth like the others . I don’t remember it being there a couple of days ago, should I chop it off?

Hi guys I’m pretty new to this app! We recently moved and the previous owner left a few of her plants one of them being a Christmas cactus. She did take many cuttings off of it and when we moved in it wasn’t doing so well. More recently the leaves have been getting covered in a waxy layer then slowly dying leaving like a crispy wax shell. I’m not sure what it is but I figured k would reach out seeing as google doesn’t have many results. Here are a few photos:

Can anyone advise??? My mum bought em this for Mother’s Day. Since it’s come home Its developed yellow tips and splayed it a bit more. Any suggestions? Should I repot as I feel the pot is rather small. I’ve only just moved it to a window in the kitchen where it gets warmer and more humid so it couldn’t be down to too much sunlight!

Hey guys! I need help! My ginseng ficus, bonsai tree (I think that’s what it is) is dying, there is a before and after photo. The leaves were dusty so I rinsed them under some soft water and then the leaves started all turning brown shortly after. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it back to healthy? I’m so sad.
