Chinese Evergreen Struggling Had this guy since at least 2015 living in a compact vase. About a month ago I repotted him. There were so many roots all bundled up, and the soil had the consistency of mud, so it felt like the right call. However, he still hasn’t recovered, and leaves are still droping. The soil is also infested with fungus gnats I’m trying to get rid of.

This is my Annabelle Hydrangea. I'm new to gardening, what could be the issue? I can't tell if I'm over or under watering. When I water, I make sure the soil needs it with the second knuckle depth test. Usually once per day. It gets about 8hr full sun. When I transplanted it from the plastic pot on June 9th, it was a very hot 30c day, could it still be recovering? Many of the other plants I planted on the same day died back a bit as well, but are slowly recovering. Zone 4b. Thanks!

This guy, a young squash, has two new flowers blossoming (and one might even be female!) and seems pretty healthy EXCEPT for these white spots on his leaves. What’s wrong with him? Soil is damp on top but dry on the bottom. Planta can’t successfully diagnose this.

Help! My monsteras leaves are curling under and kind of droopy. They were outside and it’s been pretty hot lately so I decided to bring them inside. Could it be too warm for them? Their soil is still moist. The humidity was above 60%. Idk what im doing wrong 😭

Does anyone have any idea what these white things are coming up in my soil for my mandevilla? It looks like fungus of some kind, and it just popped up today. Any ideas?

Can anyone help me save my poor pepperspot peperomia? She has just been in steady decline since I got her. She wasn’t doing well so I repotted her with a chunky soil. I used the hormone powder on her roots to help minimize shock. I only water when she’s dry on the top two inches of soil and make sure she gets the right amount of sun in my eastern facing window. Maybe I just have to wait a bit and leave her alone since she was repotted? Since then she keeps losing leaves every day. Any other recommendations? She’s my favorite and the only plant I have that is really struggling.

Has anyone ever gotten mushrooms on their aloe vera plant before? 😳 These seemingly popped up over night because I don’t remember seeing them before…

Hey there! I just got this Cobweb Spiderwort plant about 2 months ago. It has had several inches of new growth along with two new baby sprouts! About a month into having this plant, one leaf in the middle of each stem started drooping then went from green, to yellow, and finally to brown where I had to cut off the dead leaves. Now, the leaves near the bottom are doing that same pattern while the ones following it are beginning to droop. Does anyone know if this is their natural leaf cycle or if there is something I am doing wrong and how I can fix it!

Sorry, I’m pretty sure someone posted like the exact same thing, but I couldn’t find the answers. My Monstera is yellowing two leaves at the bottom that have been there for a while and I’m not sure if it’s bad or not. We just transplanted it into a larger pot, so maybe it’s the trauma, but I don’t know. Anything helps, thank you!

Need help saving my dragon scale alocasia! It has mealy bugs so I’ve been treating it by dipping a q-tip into rubbing alcohol and dabbing onto the infected parts I see, but I can’t seem to ever get rid of them fully. A couple of leaves are also dying and I don’t know if it’s because of the bugs or the treatment I’ve been doing. I had a baby leaf coming but I treated it with some rubbing alcohol yesterday because I saw mealy bugs on it, but today it was going yellow and looked very limp so I just took it off the plant.

Hi everyone! I’m a new plant person but it’s been a long time goal of mine and I’m beating my low expectations for keeping things alive 😄 I am struggling with a gnat problem. It appears I have fruit flies or gnats that love living in my plants and keep coming back after my efforts to get rid of them. Any suggestions??

Watering my plants in the shower and noticing that my sedum burrito is dripping discolored water after I water it. Is this normal? I don’t think it’s supposed to be clear, but yellow definitely doesn’t seem usual

Plants are cool

Does anyone know what’s wrong with my succulent? The leaves are firm- it’s not dehydrated, and it’s the same color as when I got it. It was very uniformly positioned when I got it, not lopsided or leaves laying on each other.

Hi, we’ve been away for a week and once back we found this beauty in very bad shape. The leaves are falling off at the slightest movement! I haven’t given her more water as I know she’s picky and I’m not sure if this is a result of too much or too little? Any suggestions?

Help! These are on my outdoor mixed flower pot. Confined to one, just noticed today and sprayed with Arber insecticide. Of course, it rained an hour later. I’ll treat again when the rain passes tomorrow. Can anyone help ID these guys?
