Help! I got this banana plant a week ago and it dropped the last two leaves it had hung onto :( I see this tinnnnyyyy leaf fighting for life. No root rot or pests. Ite in a south facing room and a few feet from a humidifier. Maybe I need a smaller pot but unsure if I should repot? Any tips to help him recover is much appreciated!!! 🙏🏻
HELP!! What’s wrong with my red banana croton!?? He’s losing leaves like crazy! No pests
Help?? Any idea why my fiddle leaf fig’s leaves are browning? Is it not enough water?
I noticed these little white bugs on the plant. I repotted them about two weeks ago, new soil and nutrients. Not sure what they are and how to get rid of them.
I’ve read that this could be due to water left on the leaves. Not sure if that’s what it is or if the plant has a fungus. Please share any information you have
I was on vacation recently and just got back, my dang cats attacked my monstera the day I left but haven’t touched it since but now one leaf is basically looking wild now any ideas what’s going on!?! Plz n thx! 🙏🏻
My Swiss cheese monstera boy is hanging on to dear life after that repot 😭 I don't know how he's made it this far.
Hey, just looking for some help with my eastern redbud. I planted two of them around three months ago. One has thrived but this one is turning yellow and brown. The leaves are crispy and the bend test snaps the branch, while the healthy tree bends easily. It gets plenty of water and sun, so I’m a little stumped on how to help it out. Any advice?
Hey all, I’ve had my polka dot plant for a little over a month now and she has grown a lot since I got her. But recently I’ve noticed a little bit of yellowing ruining her aesthetics 😪 I repotted about 2 weeks ago hoping maybe it was because the roots were hanging out the bottom so needed a size up but wanted to give it time to settle in to new environment before I did so… would you recommend I prune them off or any trouble shooting recommendations? TIA ☺️
Hi! I got an Anthurium Queremalese plant last week which I thought was healthy and simply had some burn spots on the leaves, but as the days have passed the leaves are getting more yellow and damaged. I’ve turned the leaves over and the smallest leaves have these larvae - though I have no idea what they might be. What’s the best I can do/ advice to save this plant? Thank you!
Ive been having a problem with aphids lately. I cant get ladybugs cause my plants are in my bedroom, what are some things ppl have used to get rid of them?
okay currently have fungus gnats running rampant through my house i’ve tried 2 different insecticides with no improvement i need to know if what i think will help actually will i’m planning to give all my plants 100% new soil add sand on top along with diatomaceous earth and try a new gnat killer given to me by my local nursery also wondering if maybe rocks at the bottom of the planters would help too?? i dont know i go out of town at the end of the month and am lowkey panicking 😅
Does anyone know what this is? I noticed them last week on my hibiscus plant
What's wrong with my z plant?
Can anyone tell me what this could be in my scindapsus? I’ve checked for pests and see no signs of anything, am I letting her dry out too much between watering? This is the only leaf right now that has this, so I’d like to solve before it becomes more widespread.
Anyone use horticultural charcoal in their soil mixes? Do you see any benefit? I don’t think my soil is chunky enough and I’m considering adding some charcoal to it.
Another casualty of having to go away unexpectedly just before a heatwave 😭 This poor little one didn’t like being neglected and lost lots of its leaves and colour. I cut it back as much as I dared when I got home and it seems to be regrowing some shoots but it’s still very leggy. Now I’m wondering how far back I can cut it to bring it back into proportion. If I cut any of the big stems back, will it grow from the roots? Or can I only take it back as far as the existing nodes?
Hi! I got this Vicks plant (plectranthus tomentosa) about a year ago. It was vibrant and blooming and so huge that it was falling out of the pot, so I decided to repot it. I then brought it back to school with me about two weeks after, where the climate is colder, and it started dropping leaves (leaves turned grey and crispy) and the base of the plant started turning brown and woody. Fast forward a half a year, and it has basically stopped growing at all. It just exists as a woody stump thing whose few leaves just die. I tried using fertilizer and it got a few new leaves, but then they died within two weeks. Please help, I feel like I killed this plant and I can't figure out how to bring it back.
UPDATEEE *sigh* I don’t know what happened but…. Any chance of recovery now :( I’m really sad :( I really don’t want him to die please (I don’t know:( )
