I’ve had some problems with one of my Lilly’s and this app told me to remove it and trim the roots. I’ve taken Lilly out today to see what the score is with the roots and I was expecting to see a ton of roots but this is all that’s there. I don’t actually think it’s dead but what do you think? There’s like 4 roots there
Leaf started growing and Im not exactly sure whats wrong it was all a beige looking color and today developed that darker brown on it ?
I cannot win for losing with my fuchsia! I’m at a total lose! The second pot was for reporting her once she was adjusted to my home, but she has never adjusted! I’m paranoid I’m over watering her, but she perks up every time I water her which is weekly, so IDK?!? Every guide I read says don’t water fuchsias this often, but I see a positive reaction when I do, but every week she seems to get worse! Do they always perk up right after getting water even if they’re being overwatered?! Her leaves feel dry and brittle, and they aren’t yellowing, they’re just dying! What am I doing wrong?! Yes, I’m still fairly new to plant care. My mom has a brown thumb so we never kept plants, but all the plants I care for EXCEPT this one are doing great as far as I can tell. Lots of flowering, getting bigger by the day, and then this one just looks so sad! I’m just lost and it’s breaking my heart to see her looking so sad!
whats wrong with my philodendron jose buono? humidity stays between 70-80%, temp stays between 65-73 degrees F, gets 12 hours of light a day. soil is not wet, but it is damp. producing new growth from the top. the curling of the leaves is sudden and two of the smaller leaves yellowed out completely. help!!
A little less than a year ago I snipped off the top of my Ficus Audrey to promote branching and I now have two new branches with lots of very healthy leaves! However… I am noticing that the branches are very thin near where I initially cut from. I am worries that with all the new growth the stems will not be able to support the weight of new leaves. I have a wooden dowel to support the trunk but I am still worried. Any ideas on how to bulk up branch thickness? Should I hang tight and see what happens or just chop it off again and hope it grows back stronger next time?
I’m looking for some advice for my Ring of Fire. To preface this plant has been repotted, fertilizer, grow light, window, and scoured/treated for any pests over the last year i’ve had it. I bought it with more leaves and i actually trimmed off some older leaves to even out the root to leaf ratio. i’ve had no growth at all. i don’t know what the thing in the middle is because it’s not a leaf. it won’t grow and it doesn’t shed any old material. it used to be more red but it’s slowly been fading. i added a humidifier right next to it to help loosen just in case it is a leaf but nothing. i don’t want to get rid of it but i also don’t know what else to do. Thank you for reading 🫶🏼🩷 *this picture is from about a week ago but of course, no change*
I have been loving my pilea mollis plant. It was in a spot that I think was semi stunting its growth. It would receive light from an east facing window, but it was placed below the window so it didn’t get a ton of light and was fairly shaded. So I’m moving it to a hanging rod in north facing window that gets direct sunlight from an east facing window next to it. All this to say, I was examining this plant (which was originally a rescue so it came with some damage) and I noticed these little white spots. They are tiny and only in this spot but look like maybe white mold? Given that it had low sunshine and was consistently moist from not having direct light to grow, I figured that would be the case. But I’m wondering if anyone has any better ideas, tips, or tricks? No other plants nearby have any sort of bugs, so I would be shocked if that is the case for this.
Still having trouble with my homalomena :/ I chopped two leaves last week. Since the chop, two new leaves have sprouted And now the three oldest leaves are browning and curling at the tips.
HELP MY PLANTS HAVE GNATS! What are the some effective ways to get rid of these tiny bugs?
I bought this polkadot begonia about 3 weeks ago and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong her leaves are crispy and and keep chipping off, I haven’t repotted her I thought maybe she was getting too much sun and getting sun burnt so I took her away from the window, she’s not under watered. I’m not sure how to make her happy. Any tips? or have similar experiences?
What’s wrong with my money tree? The roots are fine! I am watering it today tho
🦟🐛What’s an effective spray to get rid of gnats? I’ve been using a combination of hydrogen peroxide and water, and a Katchy trapper. This combination works for a while but not as effective as I would like, I still see gnats flying here and there. What have you all tried? Thanks!!
I just got this plant cutting. I was wondering if anybody could idea or give me any suggestions about how to propagate it? I just have it in a bowl of water right now because it won’t stand up
Found Mealies on my Hoya compacta so I took the opportunity to get some pics for sharing before going on offense. Not the clearest but kinda fun, enjoy!
Is this orangish color normal for roots? They’re not soft or mushy. This is a dwarf snake plant.
My prayer plant is sprouting leaves but lately they are shriveling up before they can unfurl. Any suggestions?
Is this mold on the roots of my snake plant??
I have a Japanese Dogwood and I’m wondering if anyone has any tips for how to care for it. It’s currently in about a 2 inch plastic pot that sits inside of a slightly bigger pot. Any help would be greatly appreaciated
Can anyone help me with my Kalanchoe? I got it six weeks ago and the blooms were great. I know blooms die off, but the new blooms are either brown or dry and don’t open, or don’t open fully. At first I thought they were maybe sun burned and discovered they need some darkness. So I made sure to keep it not too close to the window and to give it less sun. But then I’ve wondered if it’s overwatering. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
Any idea what these white dots are on this jade plant?
