Basil plant. I’ve been growing since April 2025. Now I’m noticing the leaves are looking like this (see photo attached) help!

I've had this Flamingo Lily for a while and it even sprouted some new blossoms (?) but eventually a lot of the big leaves wilted, so I repotted it to see if that helps. I think I just had it in direct sunlight too much and the remaining big ones went yellow and brown too. I've repotted it again and this time removed maybe 60% of the roots and left just what was attached to the remaining good 2-3 leaves. Question: Should I do anything to the remainder of this stem (newish plant dad, I don't know the full lingo yet) or just keep watering it and keep it out of the sun better and see what happens?

Is this normal or should I trim these?

Hey! Anyone know what’s happening with this maidenhair vine? I normally dont have an issue with these, but this one has been struggling more than usual and today i noticed this at the base of the plant.

There are a few spots like this on my satin pothos, all other spots (two or three) are very small, this is the biggest one … should i be worried? Sorry if it’s really nothing, i’ve been extra paranoid about pests or issues lately as i’ve brought more plants into my collection

I know pothos like to be crowded but does she need a bigger pot?

So the app is saying that I only water my rose is when we’re in a drought situation and I live in Las Vegas, I know if I didn’t it would die so I will do water it but I wanna log it and I can’t find any way of logging water. Is there a fix for this thanks everyone.

Hello, I recently got a Stromanthe Triostar and it’s struggling. I am wondering if part of the issue might be that I need to add more soil? I didn’t want to cover up what I assume are new leaves so I left it kind of low. Any advice is much appreciated!

Hello! I recently bought a new spider plant that is still in its nursery pot (2 in) and it isn’t doing great 💔. It’s becoming very droopy and a few shoots are turning brown. I am scared of overwatering it (aftermath of healing a nerve plant lol) but the soil can never hold enough water and it is bone dry a day after watering. Any advice?

Does anyone know what these little things are? They’ve been popping up on my calladium and white fusion and every leaf that they appear on starts dying. I left them alone for a little so I can get this picture but I usually break the webbing whenever I notice it.

My fittonia/ red nerve plant is still slumped over even after watering. Half of its leaves are weak feeling and wilted while the other half of the plant is perfectly normal. I’m going to stop watering her for a few more days but if you know fittonias, they’re so dramatic lol so I’m worried it’s not gonna appreciate it. Anyway I’m looking for advice on what to do, the soil is still damp and I haven’t changed her routine at all in this year of owning her.

I just recently noticed that my Maria Arrowhead plant had little bugs in the soil that weren’t aphids. I did some research and found something called Fungus Gnats- How do I get rid of them?? I believe that’s what the little bugs are.

How can I save my peace and flamingo lily? I used a cleaning solution and ever since then my lilies have been declining aggressively. How can I fix this 😥

Hey everyone reading this, I got some bad news. My avocado tree isn’t doing very well, found some black bugs on it (not sure if aphids. sorry that photo isn’t included) I trimmed it a few days ago and it started growing a new branch, I would like to know if i should put it in soil or something. Thanks if you respond!
