Happy New Year! Here’s your reminder to check your plants (especially the water props 🥲) for pests before the new year. I’m having a great time 😭 dealing with a mealy bug infestation that I discovered on all of my water props this morning.
Got this Hoya that is clearly suffering from root rot. I cleaned her old soil off, did a hydrogen peroxide dip to get any fungus off of her roots and repotted. However, she’s still not retaining water. I have her under a grow light with a humidifier but I’m wondering if there’s any tips and tricks to help save her!
Got this from Ikea for a fiver and wondered if anyone thinks it is salvageable? Some signs of life but unsure about if I can bring it back to its former glory 🥴 maybe I have high expectations 🤷🏻♀️
Is it normal for a Morocco to change colors like this? The outer edges of the leaves are turning a pale green and I was thinking it was over watered. Does this leaf even look like a problem and will it die or is this normal? Thanks!!!
My ZeeZee has more babies 😮😍I think I have to clean the leaves👍🏻
Just saw this on my "imperial red" philodendron. Anything I should worry about? The rest of the plant looks fine.
I got this from my boyfriend, all put together in one small pot and tried rinsing the roots and re-potting into a 7 inch pot. There was originally a panda plant in here as well but it broke off at the root:(. I know it’s not healthy but I have no idea where to start with there being multiple plants in one. Leaves from all plants have been turning brown and squishy and detaching, as well as many brown spots on the leaves.
I’m starting to give up on this plant, i named it Pep. Can someone help me or give me advice on what I can do to save Pep :(
I figured out what's wrong (maybe) I found a pink elastic band on all three stalks I don't know if this is what's wrong or should I still cut off the brown parts?
Hi! So I found this girl in the garbage area of my apartment and I didn’t want to just let her get thrown away so I grabbed her. She’s a good size but a little droopy. I gave her a good water yesterday but she didn’t perk up. I want to repot but I’m not sure what size to get. This is my first time really taking care of a plant other than a succulent so any advice is appreciated!
Hi all! My kalanchoe started flowering around 2.5 weeks ago. I had initially thought the yellowing and falling off of leaves was due to it expending so much energy on flowering but now I am suspecting a fungal infection. Is anyone able to confirm this and have any suggestions on resolving it?
My begonia that grew a ton and was very happy has all of a sudden began wilting. I just bought grow lights for it but is there any other reason why it would be like this?
Anyway I can save these guys? They got put in a room and forgotten about but would love to try to bring them back to life
This is growing from the soil of my Tropical Tiki Dieffenbachia… what is it?? Anyone know?
My corn plant has looked like this for the past year. I water it once a week and it’s in a west facing window. Any ideas what’s wrong? Thank you!
My Chinese Money Tree’s leaves keep getting brown spots and falling off. How can I fix this?
Successful fern parents - I want a lush bushy fern and this one is looking leggy, scraggly, and unwelll. I’ve repotted her a couple times due to water logging and poor drainage, but she is still looking rough. She’s in a mix of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite. I covered the top soil with some spaghnum moss to help retain some moisture. Do I just leave her alone until the soil is completely dry before watering again?
So lately I’ve been looking at my Syngonium, and I’ve noticed that some leaves look chewed. I have a cat, and occasionally he goes near my plants, but I make sure he doesn’t damage them and he never does. Any idea what’s going on?
Can anyone tell me what these spots on my new alocasia polly are from?
