My money tree is dropping lots of leaves after having a really good growth spurt. I’m not sure if it’s the temperature drop here in Houston or something else. Please send help! She was thriving just a few weeks ago (nighttime photo is her a month ago.

Hi there! I was looking for some advice on how to help my lucky bamboo. He is my only plant and I love him so much, I got him from Pride-fest a few years ago and he’s stayed pretty much the same size with barely any growth… but he’s not dying, just rather content I hope to think. He lives in a small water jar that he came in with crystals at the bottom (I’m too fearful of killing him to try and remove them) near a window for sun. Today I noticed he very badly needed water and had a brown tip on his leaf. I took to Reddit and trimmed the tip just below the brown tip, watered him (purified drinking water) and wiped each of his leaves with a wet paper towel. Does anyone have any advice or tips for how to help him? Here’s a picture of before I trimmed but after I watered and one of where he usually sits afterward.

Hey guys, nothing is wrong but what happens if you on accident know you over water your plant And is there anything I should do?

Oh boy, this looks scary so I’m afraid to disturb it before I know what it could be. It’s bright chalk-yellow mold. Lots of dots and a white floof beginning on top of it.

Alright… is it toast? Does my money tree have any chance? I’ve never had success with propagating it before 😢 It was having a rough go; early on the other trunks had root rot which is why I have that Frankenstein tin foil situation going on, but it recovered pretty well from that. More recently, I am pretty sure it had spider mites which was a new thing for me. I think my diluted alcohol treatment was followed by too much light and the leaves got all tissue paper-thin and wilty and sad and most of them died. The remaining few are quite unhappy. What is its best chance for survival?

Please help! My monstera delicious is not doing too good, yellow and soft brown spots and edges. The 2 new leafs have not hardened well and also alot of browning on most leaves (as you can see i chopped bits). I'd bought it end of October and a month ago noticed more brown spots. The draining pot is a good size for the root balls (3 plants) and the soil seems very loose... i'd treated it for pests with a mixture and showered a few times and i cant see any 🤷‍♀️ thanks guys!

Just noticed this on my coffee plant today, what is it from? I water when the top inch or so of soil is dry, so its most likely still damp farther down. Its under a grow light. I've been fertilizing once a month with superthrive. The humidity usually stays around 40% and i mist.

I just got this beautiful golden crocodile and I’m new to issues and troubleshooting them. Can someone advise what I should do? I did bottom water it the other day so it may be overwatering- but how do I fix?

I got this albo syngonium almost 2 weeks ago and all of the leaves seem to be turning yellow. At first I thought it was just shocked from the transition of a green house to my house, but it doesn’t seem to be improving. I gave it some stuff to help its roots with transition shock and I have a grow light on it 12 hrs a day. I have already had to cut off a leaf and I’m getting worried. Even the new leaf seems to be struggling. Any recommendations?

Found dark brown blotches on my plants new leaf. I saw a little bit more on another growing leaf. It looks like fungal infection but I want to get a second opinion. How do I minimize the damage?
