I was given this nipple cactus because the previous owner didn’t want it and hadn’t taken great care of it. I was going to try to bring it back to health, but I’m unsure of it’s worth it. It’s really dried up, I’ve repotted it and watered it, and I put it in my window but I’m not sure if it’ll get up to good health or if it’s kind of just dead. For comparison the same species of cactus I’ve been caring for is in the white pot.
Are these bugs? I honestly can't tell. They are small white dots. But they DONT move. And my poor monstera leaves have them all over them. I have a moss pole, so I figured it's either dust or something coming off it. But I don't know. My monsteras are dying so sadly and have burnt orange sad leaves. :( i checked the dirt and see no bugs or anything crawly... Maybe they were left in the sun too long? (It's winter so the sun isn't strong, and warm in my house
I’m new to moisture loving cactus but can’t tell if this little darling is getting too much. Is the spots from overwatering?
Camellia has new leaves, one week process, I called this plant camellia because I like the name, but it’s not a camellia🤣😂
Found this progressing on the crown of one of my kentia plants. Any one know what this is?
i got this elephant ear (i think) about a month ago and it neon pothos at the bottom so i repotted them like 2 weeks ago and since my elephant ear has started drooping and turning yellow, i thought it was over watered at first so i let the soil try out and it’s only gotten worse. any tips ?
I have a madinia elegant red velvet climbing plant that I accidentally left outside over winter and it froze for a few days. I looked at it today and it’s roots look alive but the part about soil look dead. What should I do?
Coffee arabica plant started to droop pretty heavily, in the past it was a water/sunlight issue, now I’m not sure what’s going on. Any ideas? I can answer clarification questions so ask as needed. Thanks y’all
I bought this ZZ Raven about two weeks ago and put it in a room that gets lower light than the other rooms but it does get some filtered SE afternoon light. Today I noticed it looked a bit unsightly, not at all the healthy plant I brought home. One of the unfurled young leaves just fell right out! It was in a self watering pot with very loamy soil. I removed the exterior pot and plan to repot ZZ in a clay pot with a soil of mixed all purpose potting soil and cactus potting medium before giving it a good soaking, the current soil seems quite dry. I welcome any suggestions for helping Mr. ZZ here. 😊
Hey! I just bought this philodendron “Burle Marx” from Walmart and it’s looking pretty bad. I’m am new to the plant life so would appreciate any advice on keeping this girl alive! Tia! Happy planting!
Hey friends! My beautiful rattlesnake plant has developed yellow spots on the tip of the leaf. Does this mean the spot I have it in is too sunny and or hot?? Help!!
Unsure what’s going on with my African Violet. I’ve notice some of her leaves are partially brown in places. She is right in a window but it’s winter and often cloudy where I am right now. I always bottom water and she seems healthy otherwise. I thought maybe overwatering could be causing it but I’m not sure. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Does anyone know what happened to my antherium? I just got it a couple of hours ago. When I got it the leaf was bright red and now its faded. I haven't done anything to it other then watering.
Does anyone know what could be wrong with this new leaf on my regal shield alocasia? Got it from Walmart around 2 weeks ago, and as this leaf’s unfurled I noticed these thin spots. Might be inconsistent watering on part of the store, but I’ve never dealt with it before.
I am very new to houseplants. For Valentine’s Day I got this Scindapsus pictus (sorry if I butchered that) Silver Lady plant. It’s my first and only plant and I seem to be having an issue. These 3 leaves are very sad. They all come off of the same stem and the roots don’t seem to be attached to the rest of the plant. When I lightly pulled on it to take a picture it was as if I could pull this whole section out of the soil… like it’s not attached at all to the rest of the roots/stems in the pot. Should I remove it? Or would that hurt the rest of the plant?
Hey all still learning how to take care of this plant lol What is causing the leaves to crack? No pests, I keep humidity between 55-60% (just upgraded my humidifier) I haven’t nailed down watering as I let it go a little too dry last time but am trying my best to tell when it’s dry vs wet. Just repotted Saturday because it was rootbound Any ideas why it’s cracking? One looks like it may be turning yellow as well :( Am I still letting it get too dry? I use Mollys aroid kid so I am having a hard time determining dry vs wet soil- but I got a clear pot when repotted last
Anybody ever seen a gabby that’s almost completely void of chlorophyll? Will this ever develop more chlorophyll? It grows very slowly, obviously. Also not very attractive in my opinion.
Anyone know why this is happening?
My flaming katy is having a blooming good time hehe but what’s on its leaves? I don’t think it’s something that’s alive (it’s not moving at least)… is it something to worry about? I’ve cleaned a lot of it off but hard to shift it x
Had no idea that my arrowhead was a vine until a few months ago when it started changing shape (was a bushy plant when i bought it). I was very uneducated and bought it because it was so pretty lol. Anyway this big piece broke off yesterday when I went to move it a little. Can I put the broken piece in soil or water or do I have to just throw it away? Appreciate any advice! 🥹
