While Planta flagged my aloe as needing water, the soil is quite wet and one of the bottom leaves fell right off. Pictured is the fallen leaf with a white looking rot which was originally below the soil. What should I do? Note: the burnt looking tip of one leaf I did almost 8 months ago leaving it in a high sunlight window I believe. Not part of the current issues

A coworker of mine recently found a new job and left this orchid behind. I’m pretty sure it was just stuck inside an office without sunlight or proper care. I’ve never owned an orchid before so I have no idea what I’m doing with her. Any and all tips/suggestions are welcome please! 😭

This new leaf took forever to come through and when it finally opened up it looked like someone bit it! Why is that? It unfurled that way. Why did it come up that way? Anyone else had this problem?

Am I dealing with some kind of insect problem? I just noticed a couple of these leaves on my philodendron. I cut them off because I thought they were just old and needed to go. I’m concerned that my issue is bigger than old leaves. I water this plant around 1 x a month, and it sits right next to a window, but no direct sunlight. Can anyone help? Anyone?

Anyone know what could be going on with my ‘Croton’ Petra? Last few days she has been looking weak, after I repotted her. What am I doing wrong?? The picture before is in the black pot she looked much fuller and alive but just was tilting to the side the new one is in the white pot. My

Hello! I’ve had this aloe for 3-4 years now with no issues. Overnight the top fully bent over but it is still firm! It is right by a south facing window so it gets plenty of light although the window was open last night and the temperature dipped to probably 49F. Does anyone know why this could have happened and if I can do anything to fix it? Thanks!

Hello! My lemon tree keeps having its leaves fall off and I’m not exactly sure what to do. I keep looking it up and have many different answers. The leaves keep turning slightly brown at the edges and sometimes curling before falling off. Any advice would be great!

My parlor palm has been looking sad recently. I have been watering it regularly, it’s getting indirect sun and stick fertilizer every now and then. All of a sudden it has started dying a slow death with leaves dying one at a time. I don’t know what to do. (Window isn’t its permanent spot)

I am in desperate need of help. I looked it up and found that these weren’t supposed to be a threat but came back to find my plant nearly dead 😭 is there anything I can do to save my baby? They are spore/egg like looking tiny white balls

What could be happening to my fiddle leaf fig? The edges of the leaves are turning brown, I’ve lost a handful of leaves on the very bottom already. It gets partial sunlight.

Guttation. Should I be concerned?

Hey guys, need help on a money tree. I have had this tree for about six years, and throughout the years covid hit and nobody took care of it. But it still lived and thrived off is sunlight. I want to find ways to see how I can help it live off of multiple branches instead of one? And should I cut some of the wood off?

What is this sticky brown on my string of hearts. I had it in a few spots and I wiped it off with a damp paper towel.
