Help! My once beautiful Yucca is now dropping because the stems are weak and the leaves are starting to brown and die. I've had the plant for 4 years and haven't had any problems and haven't changed anything I normally do as far as watering, fertilizing or where it's placed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hi! I posted here last night abt something different and then saw this on my Orchid. Does anyone know what this is or how to fix? TIA
Hi everyone! my little cactus seems to be slouchy and turning a little brown :/ any tips? it is in a terracotta pot inside of the small cup, and it sits in sand (that’s how i got it from the plant store). i also have it sitting right in the windowsill and water it when plants tells me… is it under watered? thanks :)
Hi!! I just got this lemon button fern 2 months ago, and it was in great condition when I got it, but starting to decline 😔 I have been following the store owner's instructions (mist it often, water about once a week) but it is starting to brown which I typically see in underwatered plants, but I am pretty consistent with this one. Let me know if you have any advice or tips I would greatly appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️ (hopefully the photo adequately shows the brown/wilting area in the middle and bottom)
Hi! I make my own pest spray, it’s neem oil, peppermint Castile soap, hydrogen peroxide & water. When using on my plants do I have to wipe it off after?? Or can I just spray and be done? Also, I noticed this yellow spot on my manjula pothos that I’ve never seen before. This plant has always been super happy and pushes out tons of new growth. I repotted it about a month ago. What do yall think caused this yellow spot? Thanks in advance!
Gnats. I have had a perpetual flow of gnats. Mosquito pellet water, diatomaceous earth, and sticky traps are in use but somehow they keep finding a way to live. Maybe I’m not using them right?? Help me! I have soooooo many plants so it is hard but I must get rid of these lil jerks. *I avoid overwatering but it has happened a time or two. Otherwise I let my babies dry up decently between waterings.
Hey guys, where should i trim her? I got her two weeks ago. Im pretty sure theres new growth and ik shes getting enough humidity. TIA
My neon pothos has been suffering from brown spots for about 6 months now, and just today I saw a small, dark bug on it (first pic towards the base of the bottom leaf) 😬 sorry the pic of the bug isn’t good, it was moving fast lol. Anyone know what sort of pest could be causing this? I’m paranoid of thrips but it doesn’t really look like thrips to me. The third pic has a picture of a weird bumpy leaf which I thought might help ID. Thanks!
Anyone know what’s going on with this plant?
Hi! I just bought this aloe from Aldi for $5 because I’m a firm believer in plants choosing me 🤣 however, he is looking a little sad. This is the first aloe I’ve ever owned, but as you can see in the background…it’s not my first plant. Any and all advice is welcomed and appreciated!
Hi there, my bird of paradise is getting a little crispy around the edges. It isn’t by the air conditioner but my apartment is dry and the soil seems properly moisturized. It’s by a big window with a lot of light. Could it be getting too much sun? I see all sorts of mixed reviews online.
Hi everyone! Any ideas what’s up with my pothos? This leaf has turned yellow and I’m not sure why. I’ve had this plant in this current location for about a year and I’ve had no issues.
Hey, all. Planta says this is possibly rust fungus but idk if I agree. It’s a new plant and was brought to me this way. It is newly potted in unglazed ceramic pot, organic soil with perlite and some small orchid bark. Bottom of pot is dry, top 2 inches are moist but not overly so. No evidence of bugs that I can see. It did just shoot this pretty bloom out today… Any ideas appreciated.
This may just be me over reacting but one of the leaf things on my echeveria is turning yellowish. Is this a sign of over/under watering, or smth else? Thx!
Hi! Can someone help me determine what’s wrong with my spider plant? Its leaves continue to bend even after a humidifier and regular watering. I’m not sure what to do from here. TIA!
I have just gotten my first money tree! I keep it in a bright room (6ft away from the window) and I got it a grow light. I am new to a money tree and using a grow light. Can anyone give advice on what percentage I should have my grow light at for optimal money tree growth? Also how long should it be on per day? It’s a 20W by GLOWRIUM on Amazon.

I have this Japanese laurel and it recently has started to have brown spots. Any tips to help? Thanks
I bought these paper whites (Ziva) bulbs on Amazon I hope they grow 😊😊
Hi everyone! Can someone please help me identify this white, crusty, flakey stuff that’s in my Croton? I’m not sure if it’s calcification from my tap water, but I don’t think I’ve always watered with tap, and none of my other plants have this specific substance on them. It’s on the base of this leaf, and then this leaf started drying and curling in. The white stuff is on some of the wood chips in the soil. The white stuff flakes off and doesn’t leave anything behind. But the fact that this was on the base of this leaf and now it’s dying, I feel there’s a connection, but I’m not sure what exactly it is and how to treat it? Any help, advice, suggestions I’d really appreciate it! I’ve been having trouble getting this guy to grow.
