Hey all - my money tree is dropping a couple of yellow and brown leaves, but it’s also growing some new leaves on the top, so I guess the root is fine?! Is this just the time of year that it’s aging and dropping some old leaves?

I got this Monstera cheese, when I got it was already under care, but now this keeps happening! Can you help us? I really like her and she is the one and only in my collection.

Hi everyone! I’ve had this albo for around a year and a half! She came shipped in leca, and she’s been doing great and under a grow light! However, all of a sudden the leaves are yellowing on the outer edges and I can’t find any pests. I took her out of her pot to check the roots and they’re good! She was getting pretty root bound, so I ended up putting her in a larger pot with new leca! Could give me some ideas as to what could be going on?

Can someone guide me to bring this Calathea Pinstripe back to life? When I first got it she had about 30 stems and now we are down to 5. I use boiled water (cooked to room temp) to water. I kept it in indirect sunlight in the warmer room of the house. I repotted it in the summer but I think I need to take it out. Rinse the roots and separate some out that look rotted and repot? Any suggestions???

Hey yall! I just received this plant (Lupita) from my uncles funeral last month and I don’t know what I’m doing. I didn’t water it until last week. After having it since Dec. 19. The leaves started to change after my watering!

Does anyone know if this is normal on a zz plant? It looks like bark. But not sure if it’s a disease or pest I need to treat? The plant looks healthy otherwise and has new growth.

Could this be from being up against a cold window? Or is it something else?

Hi y’all, This triostar used to be a huge plant with between 20-30 stems before it needed to be divided. My partner divided it and kept half of it and I kept the other half. Right away her’s was fine and mine shriveled and curled. I had to cut away the dead and I’m left with these two leaves. Now one of these two is dying too. What’s wrong? How do I get it to stop dying? Differences between my partner’s house and mine: -Her home is warmer and she waters it with city water (calcium heavy). -My home is a bit chilly and I have well water. I’ve tried moving it to a spot with less direct light, a pebble tray to increase humidity, letting it dry out to prevent root rot, placing it in the bathroom occasionally for the humidity, wiping the leaves, and pruning all the dead sprouts/leaves. Nothing seems to be working. What else do I do!

Can I propagate these? They grew where there was leaves.

Hey I just bought a ginseng ficus and once I brought it home I realized the base felt mushy. I took a look at the roots but I need another opinion. Does it have root rot?

I need some help 😔 my rattlesnake plant had been declining for months now, its leaves folded in half like this and no matters where I put it or how dark or light it was they never open anymore. Its probably half the size it used to be, it doesn’t have any pests that I can tell and the roots seem healthy, no root rot at least. What happened?? And can I fix it??

There’s flies all over my plants and room! HELP! The plants are healthy and haven’t had any issues in the past few months, but just today I woke up to about 10 flies by my Fishbone Cactus, Heartleaf Philodendron, and Neon Pothos. HELP!

My plant has a pest and it’s driving me nuts. I have tried to treat the l plant with neem oil and a neem oil mixture of water, peppermint oil and Castile soap and I can not get rid of these pests. These pests killed my Swiss cheese and I don’t want to loose any plants. I am sure this pest came on one of my plants that I acquired at a big box chain but I only notice them on vining plants. Why? How do I get rid of them for good? What makes them appear to begin with? What can I do to keep them away?

I used to have a real problem with gnats. I put up sticky paper, and it has taken care of the problem. What did I do initially to cause the problem?

What do I need to do for my cast iron “Milky Way”? She lived on the balcony in part sun/part shade during the tropical Houston summer. She was doing great but then her leaves got this bleached appearance.
