Hi, does anyone know what yellow spotting on a money tree could be from? Iâve had this plant for a few years now and it has produced slot of growth over the years but also has lost a lot of leaves. It keeps getting yellow spots, like towards the edge of the leaves, then eventually completely yellows and dies off. Pictures below to show.

Hi! This is my Kalanchoe and I just recently removed the dead blooms and leaves and Iâm starting to notice the stems from where I cut the dead blooms off are turning yellow. Iâm not sure if I should cut them down or what. I also have some yellow leaves with brown tips but their still green near the stem to. Iâm not sure if I should cut those off as well. But along side all this I have lots of new growth so Iâm very unsure with whats happening. Any advice would be great! Thank you!

Hello. I got this little guy about a week ago and he started curling up almost immediately. Someone suggested I increase humidity, which I tried to do by misting, and placing my prayer plant in a small terrarium. Nothing is helping and it looks like heâs dying. Does anyone have advice on how I might save my new plant? Thank you!

Hey all! I recently bought this monstera and am not sure if it currently has pests or was previously treated for them.
Thereâs damage spots (maybe thrips??) on several leaves, but I havenât seen any actual bugs. The plant itself seems to be thriving and has new growth. I sprayed it down with Earthâs Ally 3in1 plant spray just in case and itâs in quarantine from the rest of my plants for now.
Iâm a houseplant newbie and looking for general advice on dealing with this!

Hey! Iâm seeing some black discoloration on some of the leaves of my jade plant. I checked the roots and I didnât see any signs of rot but Iâm not sure what could be causing this. Could it be a result of overwatering? Is there anything I can do to stop it from spreading?

Two different plants, two different issues. The snake plant has this bruising? And the other big leafy plant has dark spots where itâs rotted all the way through. Should I just prune off those areas? Or should I be concerned about a bigger issue with the plant.
The stems of the plants seem to be healthy, they are big box store rescues so I donât know what theyâre planted in but the soil has seemed really muddy and slow to dry out since bringing them home. Theyâre in quarantine in my entryway for the time being and Iâve cleaned the dust and dirt off of the leaves, I havenât watered but I sprayed some neem oil because I did see some pests.

Looking through my biology textbook
Hey community,
I was just looking through my biology textbook and found a chart that I wanted to share with you all. It shows the most common mineral deficiencies in plants. Hope this helps in the future ;)

Should I prune this leaf? The other leaves are fine, but this one has crusty bits and is losing its dark green color.

What causes these spots? Itâs driving me insane. No pests, and itâs only on two of the older leaves. New growth is not coming in with them.

I got this hanging plant around 6-7 months ago. Itâs started to slowly turn yellow and loose its leaves. There are black nubs all over the plants nears the leaves and the stems are also starting to blacken. Should I repot? What else should be done to save her?!

Help! How can I revive this cypress? It doesnât really like any lighting I give it, watering enough (every other time with plant food), and still canât find a solution. It also does have drainage holes in the pot itâs in

I just got this aloe vera from a local plant shop. It has some brown spots should I be concerned? What actions should I take to improve the plants health

What is this bug I found in my philodendron?
I recently brought it home from the nursery and it was root bound so I repotted it. Found these crawling around in the oil soil.
Is this a pest? Should I be worried about my plant? Can I just toss em outside? (Iâm in the PNW)
Thanks so much for your help!!

HELP! Whatâs happening to my red aglaonema? Too big for the pot? Watering issue? Iâm confused. Itâs been doing great since day 1 then one of the branches fell out of nowhere as it was rotting so I repotted it but in a similar size pot. Not sure what to do next

Help! New plant owner here. Bought this fern about a week ago and sheâs been downhill since I bought her. Gave her a big emergency water yesterday as the soil was bone dry (planta told me it was still 3 ish days until next water). What can I do to save her?

Hi! I adopted two snake plants from a friend after they moved states. When I got them they were in poor condition. They were over watered and in poor lighting and Iâve been trying to help recover them. It seemed that they were bouncing back after a few months (Iâve had them just under a year) but lately Iâve noticed that they just arenât doing great. The leaves arent mush but they arenât firm and plump. They have a wrinkling to them and Iâm not sure if itâs under watering problems or over watering, or something else entirely. I water them once a month and they are in a south East facing solarium. Any advice would be appreciated.
