I got this plant from my mom and she had not taken care of it⦠Do I cut off the leafs? Iāve had it for a couple months now and I donāt know what to do with the brown leaves. I thought I should just leave them but I donāt know if itās killing the other parts of the plant

Really disappointed in how my plants are thriving in my new flat. Itās quite cold at the moment too but I donāt know what Iām doing wrong. 2 plants have completely withered/ died (one succulent one Calathea). Trying to keep my others but can someone tell me what Iām doing wrong / should do?

Can you guys help me out. Iām not gonna lie. I have a hard time taking care of this plant. I donāt know what to do with it. I donāt have much time but when I do I make time to take care of my plants, I have a very healthy monstera plant and other little ones I take good care of, but this one I have a hard time. Itās dirty because it rained here in LA for a good couple of days and I left it outside along with my other plants, my Monstera actually thrived. My other plants did too. But this one is so hard for me to take care of. I donāt know much about it either. Can yāall help me out :)

Hello! This is my 2nd newest leaf on my Colocasia and this doesnāt seem right :/ about 2 months ago I treated her for pests since she was in a very poor state from when I got her at Home Depot. The first leaf looked the same when it unraveled but I figured it was from the pests, and then pest treatment, I put her through. Since then she seemed to be doing well! But I donāt know what could be causing another leaf to look like this. Any idea and advice is very much appreciated :)

Hi everyone! I got this Swiss Monstera adansonii from Loweās the other day for like $10 on sale! She looks a little rough but Iām not sure because I have never had this type of plant before. Iām going to cut the really yellow leaf off and possibly the one underneath it but does anyone have any tips on how to take care of them? Also Iām not sure how far down to cut it:( Iām going to spray some neem oil on all the plants now to just make sure that no crazy pests or bugs come:( I also water all my plants in the tub to make sure they all get a good watering every time, is this ok or should I try a different technique, im new to plants so I donāt have too much knowledge. Thank you everyone in advance!

Whatās wrong with my Christmas cactus? The leaves are droopy and wrinkly, and some are becoming see through. Could it be overwatered?? Itās been at least a week since I watered it and for some reason the soil is still damp⦠Even though it has drainage holes??

I have a question, what is the best soil in general for most plants? My current mix is potting soil with perlite, bone meal, worm castings and orchid bark. Just wondering if i should make any changes

Hi plenty peeps šš½ I recently got this plant and he is not happy. Iāve never had one of these before so Iām hoping to learn from some of you who have had one. It was a Loweās rescue and half dead when I got it but itās worse now. Any tips of helping it bounce back? Thank you!

Hi everyone! I am extremely new to here and also to being a plant mom. This is my first plant ever and I have almost no idea where to start. Iāve had her for about a month and realize now that she was previously not receiving enough light. As a result, she has brown leaves at the root. My question is: should I remove the dead leaves? Or should I leave them in place?
I humbly ask for any tips that might help. I want to keep my Zz alive.

This monkey mask grown from a clipping has been doing so well - got some new growth but it grew in all black and shriveled (a bit hard to see). Anyone have any ideas?

Me and my family planted these roses- a lot of months ago and when I decided to prune them, I realized the abnormality of the leaves and the white spots on them. I looked it up on google and it said that they were sick, how do I fix this??

Hi there! I havenāt had this Calathea for very long, it came to me healthy but unfortunately it hasnāt been liking its new living conditions. The leaves are curling up pretty bad and the app said it was from dry air, like not enough humidity so I have been misting it and leaving on a humidifier but the leaves are still sad! Just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this and if they could point me in the right direction of reviving this baby?! Thank you so much!!

Hi there! A few of the leaves on my Chinese money plant have this blackening and Iām not sure what it is! The rest of the plant is very happy and growing a lot, but I donāt want this issue to spread and affect the new growth! This blacking is only on some of the older leaves. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? Thank you!!

Hi all! I just picked up a Monstera deliciosa and one of the leaves looks a bit different than the others. Itās lighter green and not as sturdy as the others - should it be removed or is it still growing? Iāve had this plant for a few weeks and nothing has really changed.
