This is my Fire Flash, Furī, and I just got him today! I saw these black spots on the edges of the leaves and I was wondering what might be causing it?

Okay, something is definitely going wrong here. I got this beauty less than a year ago. My cat did put some bite marks in awhile ago (please don’t judge she goes after my plants if I don’t get her name brand food and will go on a hunger strike while nibbling on my plants). My Birkin is currently in a spot that the cat can’t get it, has a grow light, and is taken very good care of but it just doesn’t want to thrive. Any and all help or advice is greatly appreciated!!!!

Hello’ my mango tree has had a few complications in growing but now it’s developed these tiny little brown holes on one leaf overnight, I was wondering why that may have happened? It was too hot out so I brought it inside, and now it’s pretty cold whether wise. I’ve watered it every few days as the app told me to.

I just moved into a new apartment and the windows are pretty drafty. My monstera is very unhappy… any ideas on warming up my plants? Edit: it was a watering and moving issue… my monstera was traumatized from moving and being a bit overwatered in my fit of worry😅

This is bubbles, and I am starting to think she hates me. She has been struggling for like 6 months and somehow she isn’t dead. She was looking better but I left for four days and now she is back to being like this 🤦♀️. If there are any recommendations I will take them. Thank you guys🪴🤍

My pls t sitter left this plant in fertilizer for two days. It’s slowly recovering but does anyone know what I should do now? Is it a good idea to trim off the leaves to concentrate growth or is it better to leave them on so it can absorb more sunlight?

Also wanted to post about my Venus flytrap. I know they’re difficult to take care of, but I’ve been doing my best to water it consistently and keep it out of sunlight. It’s struggling to keep going, what should I do?

Hi everyone, a friend gifted me a clipping of their plant, and for months it’s been growing really well, but all of a sudden these base leaves are beginning to yellow. Am I overwatering or is it overexposed to light? Or something else I might be overlooking?

Finally got the fungus gnats under control and then I notice a web with little dots on the top leaf of my golden mosaic ctenanthe. They're little crawling things and they're all over the top leaves. Going to remove the web and spray with neem oil. What are they and how can I obliterate them

So about 2 weeks ago my golden pothos was attacked by a field mouse that got past the cats. I have already attempted reporting it and some roots where still salvageable but I am also attempting to get the cuttings I saved to take root too. Any advice on how to get them to root or how to help the main plant with roots would be incredibly helpful.

Hi, need some help with my Maranta Prayer Plant please. Some leaf tips appear to be going brown at the tips and one of them has this odd circular brown spots too. Any ideas? She’s in a south and west facing room and doesn’t really get direct light - now we’re coming into spring/summer this could change. How much direct light do they like? I love her and want her to be happy! 😍

I posted back in November about my sister Avocado tree that she gave me, and how I hoped it would bounce back from the cold weather trip. She got worse before she got better. Lost all her leaves and had to cut the top because it got so dry and brittle, but now she has new growth! She lives!! 😊 Pic from when she first came home and today

Got this Aloe Vera plant that looks so sick. The soil is so dry and the leaves are brown/drooping at the ends. Can anyone give me advice on how to make it healthy again? I know I should water it, but what should I do about the brown bits?

Hi! My polka dot plant was doing really well earlier this week and over the last few days it’s dropping and shriveling more and more. Could this be root rot? Planta said it was underwatered which I know isn’t the cause.

Does anybody know what’s wrong with my sweet potato. Could it be the decrease in temperature because my room gets very cold?

Hey guys! Does anyone know what these white scratch/bump looking things on my ghost plant are or if they’re a problem? Could they be from too much sun? I’ve had fungus gnats but I’ve finally gotten rid of most of them. Ik those eat dead plant material though and my plant is very much alive. I make SUPER sure not to overwater her. I’ve been using some neem oil mixed into their water for months which has helped with the gnats & the plants seem to love it. She seems happy overall despite the marks & gnats. The marks have only shown up in the past couple weeks. If anyone knows what it is, what causes it, if it’s a problem, & if so, how to fix it please lmk! Thank you for reading & have a lovely day fellow plant lovers! 🫶🏻☀️

My husband bought me this Bird of paradise obviously as a rehab plant lol. I’m guessing this is root rot? Any other guesses as to what this could be before I repot? Also, what are your best treatment plans with handling something like this?
