any idea what could be happening here? normal leaf loss? four of them just completely fell off, barely touched it. no signs of pests, roots are perfectly fine. i know the soil is a little dense but because the roots are all good i don't want to mess with them too much if there isn't anything wrong. last watered a week ago, east facing window.
ChatGPT convinced me that my aloe would love being out on the patio. So when I took them out they were healthy albeit leggy. Now they are sunburnt and I feel so bad for them. I’ve moved them below to my covered patio. But what can I actually do to help them? ChatGPT is like this so sad after all the hard work you put into them but the middles are doing good and eventually you can cut everything away after time and save the middles. What?!
Is this whale fin snake plant supposed to be this tall? The one behind it was the OG. The two on the left are pups from past years. This most recent pup I think is the only one that grew when I relocated this plant. I’m wondering if it got enough light 😅 any thoughts?
Doing this to find my friend on the app who bought beautiful begonias today
Stubborn water stains or mildew? I bought this huge gorgeous Hoya (Reef Rider) yesterday who was very dusty from a local Mennonite-owned nursery. I rinsed her off in the shower and wiped down her leaves but these stains are still here. Should I treat her for mildew to be safe? When I wiped more aggressively some of it came off.
I got this for free on marketplace. Do you think it’s gonna survive or is it rotten on the nodes and roots? It’s some sort of variegated monstera. Not sure what kind
Okay so I’m freaking out. 🥲 I found thrips on my Adansonii and this is the first time I’m ever dealing with pests. I was searching my plants like a madwoman last night. I ordered Captain Jacks dead bug and Bonide systemic houseplant insect control…. I took two plants completely out of their nursery pots and soaked them completely in water, Insecticide, a little bit of alcohol and Peppermint Castile soap… For a couple of the plants I used a spray bottle with Neem Oil, Alcohol and Peppermint Castile Soap and sprayed the leaves front and back and did the Granules. For the rest of my plants, I sprayed the leaves with the captain Jacks and the top layer of soil and then added the Granules to the top layer of soil. I wiped all the leaves front and back after using the Captain Jacks. These are all the plants below that I did and they’re “Quarantined” in my bathroom that has no window so I have a grow light not on full capacity but just so they can have light… Can someone let me know if I’m doing this right?! 😭 and how long they would need to stay away from their homes? lol I have seen several different ways of doing it which I think is why I decided to try a few different ways…. Also just being afraid lol. Thank you to anyone who actually takes the time to read this and respond to this overwhelmed plant mom. 💕
What’s up with my Philodendron?
What’s wrong with my plant?
Any recommendations for my gardenia? I bought it about a month ago. The flowers dropped first, and now some of the leaves are starting to turn yellow. It’s currently in bright shade and gets a little afternoon sun. Any ideas on what might be causing this or what I should do?
i’ve had this cactus for about 3 years and these spots just appeared. idk what they are and was wondering if anyone else does
My zucchini are not maturing on the vine. I just pull a rotten one off today that didn’t get bigger than a pencil. Any ideas?
What is wrong with my Peace Lily?
I don't know what is going on with my variegated False Aralia. It was doing great about 2 weeks ago. The left stem has a its leaves completely brown, crispy, and shriveled while the leaves on the other stem look normal. Any advice on how to save this plant?
hi, i cannot care for an alocasia to save my life. anyone have advice on what i’m doing wrong?
Why is my ZZ plant leafs turning yellow? Also can I repot it yet?
I adopted this Zz plant from a friend who moved to a different state. I've had it since around the middle of November 2025. I'm not sure when the last time it got repotted was and this is my first time owning one of these plants. I'm just wondering if I should repot it now or wait. There's 1 drainage hole in the current pot.
Actual footage of a mealybug destroyer chomping one down on my fiddle leaf fig. 😈 (Cryptolaemus montrouzieri beetle)
My beautiful 12 year old hoya! We moved house six weeks ago and now a lot of her leaves are fading, she’s got brown spots, and a few completely yellow or brown leaves. There are also a couple of leaf patches that seem kind of transparent. Would it just be shock or sunburn or over / under watering? Or some kind of pest? I’m worried because I found a mealy bug on her neighbour, but i checked all her leaves and stems thoroughly and can’t find any bugs or sticky stuff. Also checked her roots and they seem super healthy with no rot or anything. There was also one white clump of something that might have been webbing in between some leaf stems. (She was a lil dusty so it might have just been cat hair but it was like 2am and I’m an arachnophobe and my brain convinced me it was either webs or a whitetail egg sac so immediately cut off the stem and binned it). She’s been living on neglect and inconsistent watering for most of her life before i knew better. I think i even had her in a pot of peat with no drainage at one point 😬 but she’s always looked pretty healthy and happy until now!
Hi, My philodendron black cardinal fell & damaged one of the stem/leaf area. It’s not fully snapped & the bend is closer to the base of the leaf area. I’ve currently staked the area to give it more support, but should I just cut away the area? Photos are of the bend with/without stake. Thanks!
