Any tips related to caring for plants with a crown or "well"? I have a red banana leaf (maurelii), it's been a struggle with this $5 rescue, so it was in rough shape when I got it. But, it continues to push out new leaves, so I'm not giving up. The cycle that I'm battling is in order to treat the black rot on the stalks and the spider mites, I damage the emerging leaf. The fungicide or insecticide will pool down in the crown or if I soak a q-tip first, I can't get far enough in the folds without cracking or breaking the stalks. The last couple of leaves have had only tip/edge damage and so far this new one looks good. But, any ideas to treat without causing damage?

Hey friends! My jade has been with me for 3 years but has started developing dried dark leaves, and I have no idea why. I water regularly, she’s getting good light, and I fertilize too (as often as Planta suggests). Anyone have any ideas on what’s happening or what I can do?

Hello plant friends! I am having issues keeping the leaves healthy on this one. Is it too much/not enough sunlight? Water? I maintain it per the app. Help!!

So Yoshi was doing well and growing new little leaves, but then I found thrips on it 😖 so I gave it a rinse and sprayed with insecticidal soap. I’ve always used insecticidal soap on my plants when they have pests, and I’ve never had an issue. The thrips seemed gone so I sprayed Yoshi with neem oil to keep bugs off (which I’ve also done with other plants and again never had an issue). But Yoshi doesn’t seem to be taking to this care routine well 😞 I’ll have to check the roots and see if there’s any damage there, but does anyone know if these plants are more sensitive to care routines? Is this plant worth saving? I just bottom watered today because the soil was dry. But the soil also seemed a bit different, not grainy, but more sponge-like. I don’t know if repotting it into fresher soil might liven it up

Hello. I have noticed that as my Tradescantia 'Sweetness' has grown the leaves closet to the soil have shrivelled up and died off - is this normal? The outter leaves all look relatively ok with some browning. It sits on a north face window sill that does not receive any direct sunlight but is fairly light. Any ideas??? Thank you 😊

Hi leafy friends! I have spotted these white dot like specks on my zebra plant leaves. How can I fix this?

Is there any hope of this guy reviving? I got him maybe a year ago, only the one stem and leaf. I just noticed a little bit of root sticking out the bottom of the pot. Maybe it needs a repot? It’s been a while. But would repot save the plant? Or once a plant is yellow (looks like this) is it done and no hope?

Ants!! Is there a way to get rid of them without hurting the lizards, toads, and spiders that eat them? With the recent waves of rain, the ants moved to our outdoor potted plants and don’t want to leave. Most plants are succulents, cactuses, or flowers but we also have herbs and peppers.

I recently received this monstera as a gift. After it was purchased, it started to develop these black marks on the leaves and some patches of the stems. I thought about re-poting it so that I can see what conditions the roots are in but I don't want to put it under too much stress as it was only recently moved into my flat. Unsure what the best approach is or what the problem could be.

What are the holes in the leaves from? Even the new leaves are getting them. I just got this philodendron a couple weeks ago, sprayed Captain Jacks on the leaves and cleaned them, recently repotted and watered in systemic granules. The sticky trap in the plant has no gnats on it and after inspecting the leaves i see no visible pests. What do i do?!?

This plant went from thriving to slowly dying a few weeks ago. Not sure exactly what it is or how to prevent losing the plant
