Anyone know why my watermelon plant is getting leggy? I thought it was her not getting enough light so moved her up on this shelf about two weeks ago and she is still doing it :(

Good morning all, I come to you as I really don't know what else to do. My monstera was happy and thriving in spring and it's health suddenly changed over the summer months. It all started with some leaves yellowing, after doing some research I found this could be either because pests (spider mites) or routbound. I looked at the roots and they were indeed routbound so I bought a monstera mix potting soil and repotted in a plastic pot 2 Inc bigger than it's previous one. Soon after this, the leaves that were turning yellow turned completed yellow and I removed them. Now, it looks like it's suffering from oedema, not really sure why as I water it until the soil is dry. Your advise would be extremely appreciated as I am worried it will die.

Should we be worried about this on the jade? Seeing it on multiple leaves, doesn’t look like an insect.

My cactus is drooping recently in the last week or so. I think it’s a peanut cactus. Has grown dramatically in the last couple years, but lately has been leaning over. Anyone have any suggestions? Last watered 12 days ago. (Bottom right pic is from 2 years ago, for comparison.) Thanks!

Just finished potting my cilantro about a week ago, it looks like it’s already dying :( the planter I have it in says there’s sufficient drainage, I haven’t watered it too much. The only thing I can think of is, with the hurricane, it hasn’t gotten merely enough sun

I just got a Pepperomia pepperface but I noticed one of its leaves are sort of curving… Is this curving due to the lack of light? or lack of humidity? (or anything else) I live in a mild/cold, dry climate with low-medium direct sunlight (right now the plant is getting its light from the reflection of light off another building next to its window).

hey all! just got this begonia maculata and it is not doing great.... i've been keeping soil moist and bright light (in a window without direct sun), but the leaves are slowly turning crispy, not brown. At first they wilted a lottttt and then turned crispy. I spray water on my plants sometimes so maybe?? need help!

What’s up with my money tree? Is this mold? Is it harmful? Did I water too much? How do I remediate? The rest of the plant looks healthy and has new growth.

Anyone have any ways to keep squirrels out of plants or deter them from coming around? Currently being terrorized over here. He’s digging up my potted plants to bury his nuts. He will even square up to me when I try to shoo him away. (I don’t want to say I’m scared of him, but I’m kinda scared of him)

Heeeellllppppp What are these!!!!! I thought it was mold so I scooped it off. It came back quickly. It looks like eggs to me but I’ve looked VERY hard for pests and spotted none

This guy hasn't been enjoying my new apartment. Any recommendations on what to do? Some parts seem salvage buy some of the leaves are in pretty rough shape. Can these be saved? Or should I save what I can.

Help I’m struggling with my peperomia :( I think I may have under watered it and the leaves yellowed. For the last few weeks I’ve tried watering more consistently but all the leaves and new shoots are dropping. Last time I watered there were little jumping bugs so I treated the soil with 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 4 parts water. Don’t know if that was the issue, but I’m panicking!
