Hi all! Iâve just started taking an interest in plants about a year ago. I bought this fig leaf fern due to its popularity. At my old house and circumstances, it did fairly well. Then we had a big move across town. I learned I had no drainage in my pot and why the new problems. He was swimming in water when I repotted him âFergusâ. Now he has drainage. The top leaves stand but are turning brown. The lower half is green but wonât branch out. Just all huddled together. I understand there was some shock in the beginning but now I donât know whatâs going on? I follow the Planta schedule exactly. I talk to it hoping to draw it out of this plant anxiety. What do you recommend???

I have had this string of nickels for a while and just recently have noticed it stop growing. The soil on top seems to stay damp for a really long time even though there is a reservoir for the pot that the water drains to. Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

I just got this thai con and this leaf is completely curled. I repotted her in a chunky soil mix, gave her some water, and she's sitting under a grow light for now. I also have the option of throwing her in my greenhouse if humidity may be the problem! Thanks for your help

My swiss cheese plant is dying âčïž i repotted it immediately after i got it because it was so root bound and separated them into two. the first 3 pic is the one that's taken the biggest blow. the last pic is the main/bigger plant , which is also slowly developing yellow leaves. it's been a week and i haven't watered them since because i have no idea if that will make things worse or not. what should i do đđ

I just canât seem to get along with my Hoya Lisa Australis. New leaves keep dying off before they even fully grow, and Iâm not sure why. It keeps putting out new shoots, but the plant stays bare because so many of them die too early. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I found it at the clearance section at Loweâs. Iâm not sure how to fix it. It definitely needs a repotting but this is the first time Iâve a plant like this one. I believe itâs call a rose painted Calathea? Any suggestions to bring her back to health?

My monstera was overwatered. I'm still new at this. I repotted it with fresh, dry potting soil (fertilized), mixing in just a bit of the overly moist (overwatered) soil to balance out moisture and keep the environment somewhat familiar. Is there anything else I need to do? I want this beautiful plant to live! All assistance is welcome. I'm a novice.

Does anyone know what might be wrong with my Ficus Benjamina ? About six months ago, it had an ant problem, which I resolved by treating it with diatomaceous earth and transplanting it into a new pot. Since then, the ants havenât returned, but the plant hasnât been thrivingâits leaves are constantly drooping and falling off.
Three weeks ago, I moved it to a spot with more light, hoping it would help, but it seems the plant didnât respond well. This morning, I found a lot of fallen leaves on the floor.
Iâd really appreciate any advice or insightâthank you in advance!

Are these propagations dead? Theyâve been in water for abt 3 weeks. (With changed water) the leaves are still really green and itâs still really firm. Whatâs going on? Will they root? Btw they are 3 different props

Has anyone used bonide systemic granules in hydro or semi hydro? I googled it and got conflicting answers (surprise). Or if someone would recommend how to control a thrips outbreak when you've got a ton of props in water and perlite that would be great too. I thot id heard or read that pests usually weren't a problem with hydro/semi-hydro but I'm pretty sure I'm seeing signs of damage so...

Newbie here! I recently got a new aloe plant and had to repot it to a much larger terracotta pot with succulent soil. I noticed that one of the lower leaves is shriveling up at the end. Am I doing something wrong or is that one just aging out? I know aloe doesnât like to be repotted but Iâm not sure what to do. It gets bright indirect light most of the day followed by some direct light.

Snake plant is getting these white parts on some of the leaves? Doesnât look healthy, but it hasnât moved in over a year and has never shown signs of being unhealthy before. Any help would be appreciated!
