I really am trying

Hi! Someone gave me part of their fully grown mint plant. They pulled a piece from theirs, and it had a good amount leaves and some roots. I placed it in water until I was able to buy soil (2-3 days) and about a week ago I planted it in a ceramic pot with drainage and placed it outside. Since then, the leaves are looking and feeling dry, there are a few that are still soft and not crunchy, and the soil has yet to dry. What did I do wrong? And what do I do now? Please help me.

The last 3 new leaves my Rubber Plant has made have been small, much more warped/mis-shapen, and red. I haven't changed anything in her routine. She's always been in very good health, generally. Any ideas?

Hello! Beginner plant person here. I keep getting a sort of light fuzzy white-grey mold on the top of my potting soil for some of my indoor plants. I recognise it is likely in part caused by overwatering but I’m trying to be more cognisant of how and how much I’m watering my plants and I have been watering them much less frequently (more to the recommended schedule of this app), but I feel like I’m facing the same problem still. I may try repotting them, but should I try a certain type to avoid this problem from reoccurring? What other ways should I alter my watering practices to fix this problem? I also have really hard water—even if that isn’t contributing to this specific issue, is that something I should try to change as well?

Yellow spots on leaves. Is it overwatering ? I have an Alocasia scalprum that started showing bright yellow spots on some leaves soon after I bought it. It’s been about 2 months, and the mottling seems to be spreading. The spots are random across the blade (not from the margins) and don’t follow a neat interveinal pattern. Newer leaves look better but I’m not confident. What I changed: I repotted from the nursery soil into a chunky aroid mix because the original mix seemed to hold too much water.

My Peace Lily is always drooping and I’ve had to remove multiple leaves over the past few days since they’ve been turning yellow or brown, the actual flower hasn’t bloomed and I got it months ago, can anyone help?

Anyone have experience with thrips? 😭

Why does my blue star fern look like this? She’s in the bathroom so she gets plenty of humidity and she’s not horribly far from the window. I keep her on Planta’s watering and fertilizing schedule, but she doesn’t look happy.

I have a flaming Katie that’s doing overall well however she hasn’t had any yellow flowers in the last three months, and she has a little bit of a white waxy substance on her leaves. I’m planning on cleaning the leaves with water but let me know if there are any suggestions out there.

Does my soil look like it is a little moldy? Or is it just dusty? I went to water it today and was moving the soil to see if it was damp and noticed some fuzzyish looking stuff and cant tell what it is. Also the plant is a Thai constellation if that helps (or if you have any suggestions for the soil to better help the plant… it has yet to sprout any new growth since I got it in Sept)

Can someone help me with this! And the appropriate treatment? I’ve isolated the plant from the rest. It was new.

Hello, I’ve had this plant for a few months and struggled to care for it. I’ve been trying to nurse it back to life but I’m not sure if there is any hope. Does anyone have any suggestions or if it’s even possible to be revived?? 💗

Can someone tell me if this is scale? I’m having a scale problem on many plants but can’t tell if this is or not? Close up on the last few photos.

Hey everyone! My dieffenbachia carina will not stop growing mushrooms. i have tried repotting, just picking them out, and switching out the soil. Any advice?

Found these brown spots on the underside of one of my Golden Mosaic’s leaves - what is it? They’re like kind of shiny and they look liquidy. The white spot is damage on the leaf. Google suggested maybe a fungus but also maybe thrips feces? Thoughts?

Can anyone tell me what this yellow stuff on my Hoya is? It is on the stems that shoot out and also on the under part of some of the leaves? It’s moving!
