Hi I am absolutely terrible with plants - I kill them all. Maybe it’s the way I look at them or something Anyway, my pansy has survived for around a week so far but today it has decided to wilt and I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong. My husband said it’s my fault for calling her Felicity - it was just too optimistic of a name Dr Plant says it needs to rest but I’m not so sure. I feel like not doing anything is the way I’m going to kill her. She’s at front of my house partly sunny partly shade depending on time of day (my house faces south) and I live in Manchester so I wouldn’t have thought lack of water would be the issue. Can anyone help?

i saw tiny brown bugs crawling in the soil of my orchid and now i see this white stuff. any idea? are these spider mites? what should i do?

My monstera adansonii has these crispy brown spots on one of its leaves that are spreading. Can anyone help? I’m really trying to keep this baby alive 🥺

I have this calathea that pretty much died on me. I trimmed back all the dead leaves, started watering with tap water I leave out overnight, and he’s placed right next to a humidifier. He looks a lot healthier but his leaves are still turning crispy. He is not in direct light at all so I don’t know what else to try

Hello! I have this elephant bush that I’ve recently saved from the compost pile but it’s occupying every seat on the struggle bus. is it worth saving at this point? I feel like it needs to be repotted because it doesn’t have drainage but I’m afraid of shocking it out of its last breath

Hi Everyone! Beginner plant parent here. I need help diagnosing what’s wrong with my tea rose. Yellowing/spotted leaves with holes…any suggestions? Is something eating the leaves? Thank you!

One of my silver inch plants is in a clear pot and I noticed the soil is looking green. Is it safe? The plant itself seems to be growing pretty well and I water it every three days (it’s outside and I check the soil with a chopstick).

I just potted these couple weeks ago and it’s kinda lookin sad, anyone know what I can do

Looking for advice. I rescued a spider plant from my office kitchen as it looked super sad (see pic in the white/grey pot). I brought it home and repotted (see pic in green pot). I used all new soil that I mixed myself but when I took it out of the grey pot to place in the green pot it had no roots at all. I haven’t watered since putting it in the new pot as I had just watered it at work the same day I brought it home. Should I put her in a smaller pot given she has no roots?? Help.

I keep getting a white fungus on the soil of a couple o plants. I tried the natural remedies and it works for a while. I don’t want to throw my plant away It’s not a pest problem. I tried vinegar and baking soda and peroxide and even cinnamon. Help!!! I don’t overwater my plants and I use distilled water on my plants. It’s only affecting two of my plants

I was gifted this new baby today 🥹💗 however I feel like it may have powdery mildew? I sprayed the spots with a baking soda mixture that I read up on, wondering if there was anything else I could possibly do, or if maybe somebody thought it was something else. I read somewhere else that said to cut the infected leaves, but it’d break my heart to do that, so I want that as my last option 🥺

Hi!! This is my first time dealing with fungus gnats (I’m assuming that’s what it is), and I’ve tried everything from sprays to a homemade mixture of sugar, soap and vinegar to get them gone! They seem to only be in these two plants (a pothos and what will be wildflowers, if it grows), but they just won’t go away! I think it’s the eggs that keep them going, cuz the spray kills the adults. Any ideas or recommendations or tricks to get rid of them are greatly appreciated!! They’ve been going on for about a month and a half, and the pothos came from Walmart outside, so I’m assuming that’s where they came from.

Sprayed my bird’s nest fern with neem oil. I have done this many times before but somehow this go around there was too much neem oil in my solution. My poor baby ended up getting burned. Is there any way I can save her or is this the end? Any tips will be appreciated.

My split leaf philodendron gets this yellowing on leaves. It’s under a grow light for 12 hours. Don’t know if that is 2 much? I water when dry, started using general house plant fertilizer. Any thoughts?

Hi. I just got this Gardenia. It seems to have bugs already. This was never outside, I bought from garden center approx. 1 month ago. Please advise. Thank you!

Hello Can anyone help understand what is happening with my plant leaves. There is three that are dropping and the rest are standing up. It’s been like this for two months. It’s been recently watered.
