Please help! My ivy plant has dried out, I noticed it was getting dry several weeks ago so I watered it and it’s never perked back up even after several small waterings so I’m scared I over watered it. I repotted it a little over a month ago into a pot with no drainage holes because I thought ivy was a hearty plant and could handle it but I’ve just now repotted it again into a pot with holes… lesson learned but please help me save her!!
I have scale, and I was wondering is this the black sooty mold thing and how to treat it? This is my lemon tree and I really do not want him to die😭
I have found these small dots on my plants, I’m not sure if it could be a problem or not. But it’s only on three of them
My peperomia has turned very pale and grey (used to be dark green and red) and hasn’t seemed to bounce back. I think she was overwatered but I let her dry out and repotted her months ago and she hasn’t gone back to normal. Any ideas on how I can save her?!
I have this adorable air plant in an adorable pot. But he hasn't been doing so hot. I watered him today but his leaves are dying very fast and he hasn't had any new growth lately. Is there any way I can help my baby? I put him in a place that planta recommended and he's getting the right amount of natural light. What should I do? PS he doesn't have any soil. The gray pot with the dirt is just so it can be propped higher and get more light.
Recently my mom bought me this plant for my bday, and I’m unsure on whether or not it is just dusty or if it is unhealthy. What do you guys think?
Hi there. I have an Aloe Vera plant given to me by a friend. The original plant pot was cracked so I replanted it in a larger, though plastic, container. It was leaning so I supported it with rocks. In the last month or so I have found lots of Fungus Gnats that seem to have come from this plant. I did give it a hydrogen peroxide rinse which was supposed to get rid of eggs and insects. I also put Sticky Stix in the pot. My first problem is that the Gnats have lowered in number but I think there are still eggs hatching. Second is how do I get the poor plant to grow upright? PS. I don’t have a green thumb but still like plants.
Hi, I have KoRn the corn plant here. I'm learning, so keep that in mind. 😃 I'm concerned about the browning on the leaves in random bits. Should I be? Is there anything I can do to help it? Any feedback would be appreciated!
So I trimmed my ponytail palm without looking up if that’s the correct thing to do, I had her in way too small of a pot and way to dark of a room so her curls were getting brown. Is she doomed?
Hey peeps, I need some help here. I just moved into a new home 3 days ago and my pink dragon // alocasia elephant ear is SAD! I checked her roots, all is well. I did need to down size her pot. Water schedule is consistent because I track it. She already lost one leaf - can anyone help? What can I do? She’s my favorite 😞
My money tree has been through a lot, but most recently has been doing well, had new shoots, etc. Should I remove the curled, browning leaves?
Hi gang! I've got a very wintery problem on my hands. I'm noticing some mold growing in the soil on two of my plants, I wonder what's the best course of action here? It's been happening for a bit and I don't think repotting my plants multiple times a month every time thus happens is sustainable. I spray hydrogen peroxide and a neem oil solution onto the soil, do you think that should be enough to combat the fungus? Any advice greatly appreciated!
Help plant family. Browish area on leaves. Doesn’t rub off. Watered when dry. Some spots I know are from water I think. ?
My song of India plant has been losing leaves lately. I did move it recently but I moved it closer to the window. It is a slightly colder room especially when I turn the ac on, but it’s never below 65. I also repotted recently so it’s not a drainage issue. I have been spraying it for humidity once or twice a week. Can’t figure out why it is losing leaves (not just on the bottom but up top too) and it also grows slightly twisted is that normal?
Hi, I bought this plant I believe its Called Alocasia Regal Sheild, as soon as i got it home i live in a studio so i placed it near the window I realized it got direct sunlight for a few hours and the small leaf got burnt(1st pic) now i can see some minor burns again(2nd and 3rd pic) but i have places it like a 1 feet away from the window. Any tips on this one or any care tips in general of how to make it healthy and big.
Has anyone had luck with the pest control granules that you can put into soil? I’ve been doing battle with mealy bugs for ages now and am looking at one from Bonide.
Tan/brown patches on my peanut cactus. What does it mean?!
Any UK recommendations for a systemic pesticide that will treat thrips? I have got a pretty bad infestation in multiple of my plants and want to go in guns blazing to get rid of them
Should I Be Concerned?? I saw these streaks on this plant I rescued a couple of months ago. Is this something I should worry about? Also, are the leaves supposed to grow upwards? This is a type of peperomia.
I was told to leave them in water for longer but they’re turning black, and some aren’t even growing. What’s going on? Is it root rot but how else am I supposed to do this?
