The lankies need help again! I watered them with fertilizer the leaves shriveled up. I dont know if this is normal for sunflowers or not but it doesnt seem normal.

Can anyone speculate on what is happening with my Chinese lantern plant? The bottom leaves keep turning yellow and there are little holes in them. I haven’t caught any bugs red handed but I see sugar ants on the philodendron right next to them so I know SOMETHING is sucking on my plants! 😡 These are south facing, zone 9, just fertilized and alternately sprayed with neem oil and horticulture oil in the last month (with time in between for recovery). Thanks in advance.

What’s going on with my Dieffenbachia Tropic Snow? We’ve had her about 2 months and recently noticed lots of yellowing leaves (see pictures). We’ve lost 2-3 due to yellowing. We’ve treated her with a fungicide and insecticide but she’s still having issues. Any ideas?

Rescue in the house ! Picked up this lil Monstera from the nursery yesterday. It was in the almost-dead $5 section. I clipped the long bare branch and cut into little guys to propagate. Now , what do I need to do with Cecelia , to bring her back to life ? TIA !

Can someone help my figure out what is going on with my Begonia? I just got her a few days ago and she was recently repotted and watered (within last week).

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my arrowhead plant? 🥺 I recently repotted it and it’s already lost a leaf and this one has this weird thin brown spot on a leaf. I moved it away from the window a little in case it was because it was burning but it doesn’t seem like a burn to me.

I need help with this plant 😭 I repotted it but the leaves were still wilting. I think I overwatered it and I’m not sure how to recover it. The roots are so short too. Can I still save it?

This part of my corn plant turned black and is wet/soggy to touch. Can anyone let me know what is going on and how to go about fixing this?

Hope everyone is doing well. Is my Rattlesnake plant doing ok with the brown spots and edges? Will they turn back to their normal selves or would I need to cut them off? 😕

Help with my Cat Palm? Had one for about a month now. For the most part looks healthy, nice and green and full towards the top. However, she’s been getting a few yellowing leaves with brown spots and edges toward the bottom. Been watering regularly (1x/week) and misting lightly every few days or so. Maybe worth noting her placement might not be best, she’s behind a chair and the bottom part of her stems are blocked, but I try to give all my plants a sunbath every now and then in our big southeast facing windows. I had a Bamboo Palm before her that died a sad death so hoping she doesn’t meet the same fate 😭

Halp - our dieffenbachia has been growing like crazy but all of a sudden we’re getting discolored leaves towards the bottom. Curious someone’s thoughts on what we’re doing wrong.

Good morning! I’m having an issue with my snake plant. For the first time in four years, there’s a change in this plant. I went to water it today, and noticed one of the leaves has turned brown and is squishy at the base of the plant. Doing some research, it may be due to overwatering or root rot, but I wanted to see if anybody had any other opinions. I’ve decided to skip watering it today just in case. Any advice?

Haaaalp! Is this the dreaded “Damping Off” disease? My parlor palm has been upset lately and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why. Some of stalks have been easily pulling or falling out. Today, I noticed this white fuzz at the base of some the roots. Could it be the damping off fuzz? If so, how do I go about treating it, or is it a loss?

I’ve had this swiss cheese monstera since January, and over the past month these crisp brown areas have appeared. A new leaf began to sprout, but browned and died before it was able to unfurl. I’ve checked the roots and they seem to be fine. She in a south-facing window and gets bright, indirect light. Any thought on what could be causing this?
