HELP ME! My umbrella tree plant is on it’s 3rd attempt at growing a new leaf. You can see in the picture that the first attempt died and fell off and I cut that spot. The 2nd one did good for a few days and now the base of it is brown and it’s gonna fall off like the first one did. There’s another one trying to grow. How do I make sure it doesn’t end up dying too?

Not sure what’s wrong 🤔
I got this baby tears plant a couple months ago. It has been doing fine up until a couple weeks ago when I noticed that it’s not really growing. I noticed that the leaves had turned red. Some fully, others just at the back.
I hang it in my bedroom in front of my window in its nursery pot. I just discovered that the pot has drainage yesterday. I measure 1/2 cup of filtered water whenever the app tells me to water it. Never fertilized because it was still cold (Toronto, Canada cold). It doesn’t smell, the leaves are not mushy or falling off so, I dunno…
Thanks in advance. Your input is much appreciated💚.

Got this string of pearls only a month ago. The soil is wet but the roots seem to be drying. Whole strings are starting to drop off. What am I doing wrong?

Hey all!! I’m very new to the plant community, and I have a baby rubber plant here, when my boyfriend bought it for me it definitely had spider mites 😭 butttt I used water/hydrogen peroxide to water it and used neem oil and have been using microfiber gloves to clean and dust, but it has some of these spots on it, I’m not sure if these are spider mite related or if there is anything else that could be happening! So happy to be here :)

Any thoughts on why my philodendron has a yellowing leaf?

Just noticed this damage on the back of a calathea. Looks like water damage but I’m not sure. Two larger leaves have gone ugly in the edges. I think I’m gonna have to cut her back a lot and start over, hmmmm

Does anyone have tips on bottom watering a very large pot? I have a huge aloe in a big pot and when I bottom water it, it takes forever to soak up the water and I usually end up just giving up and watering it from the top. I don’t like top watering because it doesn’t fully saturate the soil, is there any way I can bottom water with such a large pot?

Would anyone know what’s wrong with my plant? Is it sick or just underwatered? Usually the leaves are bright green but they are kind of white ish right now.

Hi guys! I’ve had this bamboo for a couple of years and it’s never had an issue (I believe) until now :( It’s lasted a long time and I was gifted it from the family’s I worked with so I would love to keep it going! Any tips? I’ve been using better water and cut off yellow leaves. I’m not sure if I should trim more? Some of the bits look dead. I’ve never taken the rocks out.

My monstera has had no new growth after repotting it more than 8 months ago, and new leaves seem to dry out before growing. Is the pot too big? The bottom few inches of soil take weeks to dry after watering, and I’ve seen the occasional fungus gnat around it. It’s in indoor potting mix with perlite added.

I got this japanese maple from a friend but it looks like it’s dead, or dying. I’m not really sure, I’m a super beginner and don’t know what to do!! the pot has drainage holes and I’ve been watering it.

I left for 7 days and came back to my bamboo looking like this. I know it’s because of lack of water but does anyone know how i can help fix it?
