Advice needed!! My poor heart fern has been struggling since I got it back from the plant sitter in January. I tried moving it to a slightly brighter spot and changed it’s pot. I’m not sure that to do!

My purple inch plant has gotten really “sad” looking ever since trimming it from its original length, and I’m not too sure why. The leaves are no longer vibrantly colored, and they’re getting wavy/withering kind of. It’s been about four weeks since I pruned it, changed the soil, and added some stems I was propagating to make the plant look more full, and there’s been new leaf growth (see photo) but the branches are super thin and just really fragile. The two images I’ve added are the current day plant (with the short branches) and how it was a month ago.

I sowed these seeds this last Saturday (day before Easter) . A few have begun to sprout but I’m dealing with this strange spiderweb-like substance growing on top of my tray. Some say mold, some say it’s a good thing and I don’t know who to believe. There isn’t a lot right now because I’ve been clearing it out, but if it’s good someone let me know so I can keep letting it grow lol. It seems to only be growing on my sunflower seeds.

I watered 2 days ago, used liquid fertilizer about 5 days ago with water. I do not have a green thumb, but I’m trying! I tend to “love” my plants a little too much. Does it look like I’ve overwatered or something else? Thanks in advance for the help/advice!

Does anyone know what this thing is underneath my leaf? Is it another leaf growing? Or is it something else? Please help!!

Very yellow leaf compared to the rest of the plant what could the problem be and how can I rescue it? Or is it too late?

I got this peperomia parallel a couple weeks ago and I repotted it because the soil was really bad. I checked on it today and it lost a some leaves but has lots of new growth. Should I be worried or do you think it’s just shock?

Hi, I'm new to plants. I got this golden pothos from an estate sale in January. It has been in good health since I got it but I just noticed this leaf has a black spot on it out of nowhere. Planta thinks it needs repotted and I don't think that's the problem. Any ideas of what it could be and how to fix it would be appreciated!!

Just bought this from Lowe’s (I know haha). After quarantining it for a few days I’ve noticed some discoloration on the leaves. Thought I’d ask what y’all think it could be.

My cactus is apparently dying at the roots, how can I save it? It doesn't receive direct sunlight and I try not to give it water!

I’ve been seeing these gross bugs fly around the room my global green Pothos, succulent, and orchid are in. Can someone identify these nasty critters for me and recommend something I can use to get rid of them? Help would be appreciated.

Why is my aloe losing its color?! I recently moved it outside for it to get more sun. It’s been around the same temps as inside. Does it need water or fertilizer? Please help i really like this plant. Thanks!

Help, this was beautiful a week ago, about 4 months old never a problem. I water with rain water, mist often, it’s in an unused bathroom with east window. What is the problem?? So sad!

Help with this monstera adansonii. I got him with many leaves yellow in the center and also around the edges. I can’t tell if the damage is still from when I got the plant a few weeks ago. Should I remove these leaves? There’s new growth.
