I just got a money tree and it seems to not be doing so well. Iâm not sure if Iâm overwatering or not. Iâve only watered it once in the week and a half that Iâve had it. My thermostat is set to 67 ish. Is that too cold? And I keep it on the windowsill but it doesnt get sun burned. I just donât want it to die please help đ

Back in July this plant was severely overwatered while I was on a two week vacation. It just hasnât bounced back at all. Any suggestions on how to revive? Or is she a goner?

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between regular spider webs and spider mites? I had my aloe plant outside for a few weeks and I noticed these webbings when bringing her in. She also has some browning on the underside of some leaves that might be from overwatering. Any advice would be appreciated!

Whyâs my aloe so unhappy? Is it supposed to lean out this much? And what are these brown bits?
I just gave itâs leaves a wash because I think I may have found some bugos on it
UPDATE:
I ended up putting her outside so the soil could dry out as I do think it was a little water logged, and so that she could get some more sun in generalâŠ. Then we had super heavy rain that just keeps stopping and starting and undoing any sun she is getting, she looks way worse than she started off đą going to try bring her in to dry out in a sunny spot where the rain canât get to her but feel it may be too late at this point

One of my plants has pests I think Iâve seen them in both my aloe Vera and trumpet carnivorous plant. They both have webs around them too so I thought it may be spider mites? But Iâve since noticed little microscopic white things in my trumpets soil Google made me thing they were the kind that would eat the bad stuff so I could just leave them be but Iâve since found them on a nearby surface in my room and today I noticed theyâed made theyâre way onto my monstera I sprayed it lightly with a bio pesticide thing and popped it outside to just get some respite hopefully but Iâm really not sure what to do to contain or limit them spreading more. I donât like using the spray pesticide I have on my plants I initially got it for a plant infested with scale bugs and it worked for a bit but they kept reoccurring and it eventually died. Does anyone know any more natural/homeopathic solutions perhaps something I can add to the soil when I water?

Hi, does anyone know if this is black spot? And if so, the best way to treat it? The pot has a drainage hole but I am wondering if the Planta watering schedule is too frequent for this Luna red hibiscus?

Me and my bf have had this peace lily over a month, which she has been absolutely thriving, a long with our other plants. All of a sudden we wake up yesterday to not a happy plant. I canât quite figure it out. Is it a draft? Watering issues?
Someone please help me, I hate to lose petunia

What types of additives do you put in your chunky soil as pest prevention? Soil is tropical + orchid mix + perlite / small lava rocks. I already use neem oil and sticky traps. Any other tips / tricks? Thanks in advance!

Hi, first time here. My daughter has been growing this blue jacaranda from a seed. Is this too much water, not enough, or something else? Sheâs under grow lights, on a heated mat, and it just started wiltingâŠ
Thanks for any help!

Good afternoon what are these rope like (I donât know what to call them) stems that are growing out of my Monstera plant. Do I cut them off or just leave them on? Thereâs no leaves attached or anything please help thank you.

Good morning all,
I hope Someone is able to help me with my coffee plant. I have started watering it with distilled water because I have found out that it's very sensitive to the minerals and things in regular water or even filtered water. But besides the brown tips that are on the leaves from the other water, It is now getting very veiny and yellow on some of the leaves. Also, it looks like it has multiple plants in one pot. Would it be better to separate them all into individual pots? Will that help it grow faster? It has been very slow growing. It gets regular fertilization and lives under a grow light. Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions.đ
