Haley’s plants 🌱

So I looked it up and said my soil is heathy and I should leave this little mushroom. Does anyone have experience with this mushroom? Should I add it to my plant list 👀

I have a plant called Tradescantia and it is not doing well at all! It has been struggling for a long time and the leaves look alive still but the vines break off very easily with no force. I haven’t repotted since I got it but should I repot it now? I don’t know what is wrong with it at all but if anyone knows what it could be I would love to hear it!

I have had issues with both my stromanthe and heart leaf philodendron ever since I’ve had them and at this point I don’t know much more of what I can do. They get humidity from my humidifier I run every day, I water my stromanthe with only distilled water, and use appropriate soil. They also get plenty of sun light and receive fertilizer every couple of weeks. My philodendron has been dropping leaves as well. They both have drainage and I don’t over water. Does anyone have any tips on what I can do, or what may be the issue? Thank you bunches!

Got this rattlesnake plant about a month and a half ago. I was doing the same regiment for it as my other Calathea (fishbone prayer plant) — water them 1-2x per week (as needed) with regular tap water; mist them; give them bright, indirect light; and fertilize them every 3-4 weeks. My other calathea is thriving! It's literally popping out new leaves and growth left and right. This one, not so much. 😭 I recently switched to watering it with distilled water, but I'm wondering if that's enough to reverse its slow death. Should I wash off the roots with the distilled water and repot it too? Something else? Thanks in advance! 🪴 --- Edited to add: This whole time, I thought my other plant was a Calathea. I was today years old when I found out Calathea Burle Marx plants/fishbone prayer plants aren't actually Calatheas. They're Ctenanthes. Please tell me I'm not the only one who didn't know this. 😅 Either way, I still need help with my rattlesnake plant. haha

Hi, Any tips for this snake plant? It sits in my lounge room with a split system but I don’t have a lot of space to put it elsewhere… Not sure if it’s also too overcrowded. Thank you!

What’s wrong with my Marigold? I left this newly planted marigold for three weeks with my brother to water it. It was a pretty hot summer and may have gotten too much sun, but now that it’s indoors, its bottom leaves are discolored and misshapen. I thought it would get better but it’s just trying to bloom regardless. Is it a disease/illness? Or a deficiency? (Photos are from most recent to oldest)

Help! ☹️ I’m not sure what’s happening with my aloe. I always wait until she’s dried out before watering. Any advice would be appreciated!

For the life of me I can’t get this guy to be happy. It’s by a window but the leaves are all reaching towards the light like it’s starving and all of them turn brown and crispy so fast.

Do I need a larger humidity tray for my prayer plant? This leaf was already a little wrinkly when I got the plant in the mail a couple of weeks ago, but now there’s a bit of browning and curling under.

I’ve been seeing these white lines through the soil and dead stems on my peace lily and have been worried about pests. It definitely needs a repot and has been getting way too little humidity, but I’ve been trying to fix that. What are the white spikes/lines? Are they harmful?

This poor plant is struggling, and I’m at a loss for what I’m doing wrong. I’ve watered it, There’s decent lighting, but not direct sun. Given nutrients, changes the soil and pot when it grow out if the original pot.

Hiya everyone, I wondered if anyone can help me out with my banana plant. It has these light maple brown markings at the edges of some of its leaves and a couple of the leaves at the bottom are drooping. I’m really not sure what’s wrong with my Junior. Do you think it’s a fungal issue? It gets lots of light and I wait for the soil to dry out but not completely before watering (of course using the planta app) and snooze if still wet. Any help or advice you can give will be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you 😔

This is my Chinese Evergreen ’Crete’. I noticed that the base of the plant was turning brown on one stalk. The leaves were looking OK, and in fact, it was starting to develop new growth, but the stalk continued to brown and dry out and then started drooping/cracking. I cut that stalk off and cut away the dead part. I put it in water to see if I can regrow some roots and save it to replant. Then I noticed another stalk was starting to do the same thing. Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to save it? The stalk to the left is the one now starting to turn brown in the main plant. Pictures for reference.

Help please. I sprayed my money tree with neem oil and dawn dish soap last weekend and now the leaves are turning yellow and falling off. I added a photo of my tree the day I sprayed it last weekend and 2 pictures of my tree today. Thank you for any advise.

Can anyone tell me how to get my snake plant to stand up? Shes been repotted awhile back, if anything maybe too little water? Debating on moving it back under the sky light
