At the base of my avocado tree, there are white spots on the stem. I was wondering if this is normal.

I got this hoya Hindu Rope about a month ago, and I watered it a week or so after getting it to let it dry out. But when I watered it, it started showing signs of root rot, as the leaves started turning mushy. I repotted and gave it more gritty mix to let it dry out easier. I let it sit for a few days to get used to the new soil before I watered and now here we are a week later she still is hating me and leaves are turning yellow and falling off, but they're not mushy anymore. Please help! She's variegated and coated me $50 and I want her to THRIVE!!

Hello all. I have a question regarding my monstera growth. I’ve had it for around 2-3 months now and around a month and a half ago it put out the beautiful inner fenestrated leaf pictured far right. But now it seems to be putting out a leaf with no fenestrations? I am confused as to why it would do this when I have it under the same grow light as before a 9 watt Feit (i believe that is the brand) grow bulb. I’ve had success with other monstera under it. I did treat it a few weeks ago with neem for what i suspected was spider mites but that seems to have resolved itself as well. I’ve wondered if I should just got and get a SANSI bulb. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Can anyone help me figure out what wrong with my zz plant?? I bought this plant a few months back in a similar glass jar with the same cork top and lava rocks as picture. It seemed mostly healthy when I bought it, with the exception of two small white spots on one of the leaves. Shortly after buying it the original glass broke on the bottom so I had to transfer it to this other jar. Since then it’s seemed mostly fine but hasn’t grown at all, I keep it on a bookshelf across the room from my west facing window and I keep both my blinds open all day so it receives bright but indirect light all day. The last few days I’ve noticed it looking yellowed so, thinking it needed more light I was placing it in brighter spots throughout the day, including my south and west facing windows. Now today it looks even more yellow and I’ve noticed a brown spot, which I assume is sun damage from the last two days. I’m just not sure how to help this plant anymore? The only things I can think of are to change the water or container, remove some of the rocks, or entirely repot the plant in a terracotta pot. This is my first zz so I’m just not sure, any ideas??

Carnivorous Plants Fungus Gnats Hi all, As we know carnivorous plants require lots of watering, often with the soil staying damp. How do you deal with fungus gnats when this is the case? I have a drosera that is thriving in all manners except for gnats. Thanks

Hi! I woke up this morning to my plant starting to wilt, and I’m not sure what could be upsetting her. All of her leaves are normally as happy as the ones at the very top. Any ideas?

Does anyone know why these splotches have shown up. They’re on a couple of leaves, but the ones pictured are the best examples. I noticed them a little over a week ago and a couple of weeks after I brought her in from outside.

Is my snake plant root bound? I’ve noticed it drying up in sections and this is what the roots look like.

HELPPPP MY PRECIOUS STRAWBERRIES😢😢😢 I woke up to find one of my strawberry plants being limp… I thought surely it doesn’t need watering again already as the other 3 were fine… on closer inspection, I’ve found that it is riddled with bugs?!?! What are these? Aphids or mites??How do I get rid of them? I have neem oil, would that work? It’s like they’ve spawned in over night? Some are red and some are white? Any advice welcome:((

Hello everyone! Recently came across this group in hopes to have some guidance regarding our newly completed backyard! We currently reside in Folsom/Sacramento, California. We planted 5 prunas carolinianas laurel trees with our contractor on a drip system with 2 gallon emitters. We have set up the Bee Hyve irrigation system as well (love it so far!). Our trees were planted in beginning June during the heat of Summer...we have consistently stayed in the upper 90's to 100+ degrees these past few months but finally have gotten down to the 80's this week for the first time. We currently water the trees daily (40mins with the 2 gallon emitters at the bases of each tree). We have recently noticed the leaves starting to curl up (shown below) as well as one tree turning slightly more yellow. I went to our local Green Acres and they mentioned to start watering less days in the week as the temperature cools. My question is these leaves starting to curl up-is this normal for the season change? Are we still watering too much? Is there something we are missing? I also have pulled back the rock below our tree to unearth the dirt and the dirt is still damp an inch or so from top soil. My assumption is, I’m still watering too much? My wife and I are trying to become better with care for our plants and the last thing we want is for these trees to die on us! Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello - We have a ficus tree given to us by my FIL that he grew from a seedling and is now almost 40 years old! It's been looking very rough over the past year with progressive loss of leaves and fullness. The leaves tend dry up and fall off, but it also drops healthy looking green leaves. There isn't much natural light in the room so we have a grow light and try to rotate the plant regularly to provide even coverage. The lamp is on 9 hour daily timer. I've tried longer/shorter periods of light with varying intensities. It's potted in a plastic container with drainage holes and there are rocks on top. I've tried more/ less frequent watering intervals. I've tried misting the leaves. There is no direct air/heat on the plant. Any advice would be greatly appreciated to help rescue this old family tree! Thanks!

Help! This rubber tree was a gift a few years ago and I LOVED it. Always throwing out new leaves and getting tall and pretty. Then I had an issue with sugar ants earlier this year- they were all over the pot! I panicked and put it outside. I left for the summer and, honestly, since I live in Seattle I assumed it wouldn’t survive. But it has! It’s pretty scorched in some spots, but it’s continued to grow and even has a new branch forming near the base. Anyway, long story short, I’d like to bring it inside again. How do I help it get healthy again? Is it safe to chop it down below the scorched stuff and propagate the healthy stuff on top? Any tips for transitioning it back to inside?
