Help ! My monstera adanosii started yellowing and turning brown while I was away for 10 days. It’s top leaves have starting going white as well for a while and I’m not sure what’s wrong :( any advice is appreciated !
Schefflera issue! Yellowing leaves that are in the middle of the plant. There is fresh new growth at the top during this. Had 1+yr w/o issue and now half the plant (3.5ft) is dying. It gets great light; watered according to water meter; occasional fertilizer. Has had scale infestation with lots of sticky honeydew before and hasn’t had yellowing leaves like this. Manually remove scale every few months. Use systemic. None of those things should cause this though. Any thoughts?
My tradescentia was growing beautifully until it outgrew its pot and I waited too long to propagate it. This was my first ever propagation (new to plants except cacti and succulents). This is what it looks like now ~4-5 weeks post procedure. I don’t think it’s going to grow like this, should I just toss it and start again 😢 I tried to water prop one and I either cut it too close to the node or it just died.
My money tree keeps dropping leaves. any ideas why?
Hi everyone. I recently (2 weeks maybe) bought this plant from a garden centre n the poor little guy wasn’t doing to great. I believe him to be a white agloanema and from what I’ve read they don’t love much water and when I got the poor guy he was drowning in wet soil. I left him for 2 weeks to dry out but was seeing no improvement so decided to repot him and I’ve left him In dry soil for two days before watering. I’m hoping this helps but does anyone have any suggestions to speed up the recovery process?
Hello Everyone! My baby is not happy and I can’t put a finger on it! He is drooping and typically stands tall I will attach a picture to show how he normally looks. I’m thinking he is thirsty but I watered him a few days ago. There is no yellowing so I know I didn’t overwater! Maybe he could use some more ? The leaves also have some brown spots at the bottom of the tree! So maybe sun burn?
Hello! My jade plant has been dropping leaves like crazy and most of the leaves still on it feel a little squishy. I’ve also noticed this weird black growth on it. I don’t think it’s a watering problem, but I’m not sure what could be affecting it like this. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you :)
please help! i’ve had this string of pearls since last April and it’s absolutely thrived until a little over a month ago. as you can see, all the growth on one half of the pot almost completely dried out/died. i originally thought this was due to that one side not getting enough sun, but even after moving my plant, the strands seem to keep shrinking and turning brown. Maybe not at as a drastic rate compared to before, but i want to get it to stop!!! i love this plant so much, so any help would be amazing
My bonsai has just lost pretty much all of its leaves. About a week about I sprayed it with water with a little bit of washing up liquid to try the kill some aphids but now this has happened, will it survive?
Help! Thrips have infected all of my plants, all of my previously healthy, happy plants are now dying. I have been using a homemade insecticide spray every other day, and putting DE on the dirt every time I water too. They have not left or even slowed down, it’s really sad, especially because the worst plant is a golden pothos and she was a cutting of a cutting from a great grandma. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
What’s going on with my Coffee Plant? I know this winter has been hard but I don’t know how to help it? Most of the leaves seem super dry and brittle. But some are still looking healthy. What should I do?
The bottom leaf on my Birds of Paradise is turning yellow, but the rest of the plant is doing wonderfully and even frowning two new leaves! This happened a few weeks ago with the bottom small leaves as well. Normal for winter? Overwatering?
Hi! I just got this little dude yesterday. It looked completely fine yesterday, but I got up this morning and one of the leaves looks funky. Does anyone know what might cause this and how I can fix it?
Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew a good way to get rid of fungus gnats? I already tried putting apple-cider-vinegar and dish soap in a cup and putting it next to the pot, that worked well but it didn’t quite get all of those pests… If anyone has a better solution please let me know!
I’m worried about the little guy. His stem is turning brown at the twist and it’s thinner than the rest of the plant. The leaves also look dry, even though I gave him a lot of water (when I first put him in the pot and the next day because he looked dry in the leaves) He’s in an eastern facing window, I put him on the sill so he could get as much light as possible. That seemed to perk him up the other day but now he’s starting to droop at the brown part of the stem Is there something I should do? Or anything I can do for him? I don’t want to lose him
I am concerned for my philidendron! the leaves have weird spots and some have completely died. does anyone know what is going on?
My pitcher plant is dying and has brown all over. What do I do to save him? Got him in a flower festival.
Some of the leaves on my moment tree are getting yellow and the tips are getting brown, I’m not sure what’s wrong.
Hi everyone! I just noticed the Planta app added fertilizing as a premium, but I use the free app. Do you know of any great apps that will help remind me when to fertilize my plants please? Thank you 🫶🏽
