I don’t think my bird of paradise is doing so hot. I saved it off the curb and it was less curled then. I repotted it and gave it better soil. I’m not sure what else to do. Maybe I just bring it home. Any advise,

Hi, my pothos has been struggling with yellowing leaves. At first I thought it was because of the new room it’s in, too much sun etc. I repotted it, which I found it was a bit root bound. After repotting it, it’s been growing amazing, like healthy new leaves, new growth everywhere. But some of the older leaves still are yellowing and have spots. It looks like pest damage, it has the signs, but I don’t see any pests. And once again, the new leaves coming in look ok. What could it be?!

It seems I overwatered my pothos. This plant has been through it the past year as last winter I didn’t realize the stem in the middle was touching the window when we had subzero temps. That section died and I eventually cut off the part ahead. It didn’t do much the past year as I somewhat neglected it. And now that I have a better routine, I have watered too much. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Do I cut off the part that is rotting and let it start over? How can I encourage it to make more shoots above the rotting branch? There is only one leaf left on the initial section.

Hi, can anyone help me with this mini monstera? I don’t know if I overwatered it, I waited a while for it to dry out a tad before watering again and this plant has always done really well. The base of the plant has started to yellow. No pests noted. Leaves are starting to become soggy and develop black spots on one side of the plant. This same side of the plant’s stems are wrinkly looking but hard and not squishy at all. This plant has grown super quickly but suddenly is experiencing a problem. What should I do?

So, I’ve had this orchid for only a little while, it’s currently in sphagnum moss and it’s recently started dawning these spots? The blooms themselves and their stems seem perfectly fine but I just want to see if anyone knows what this might be and if it’s a cause for concern. Usually the humidity is around 60% and temperature at 60-70’. It’s only gone down in the last day due to snow storms.

Also same ? With this plant. Do I chop? And see if it will grow back? Or is she a lost cause?

What should I do with this plant? Chop? I took for living stems off to prop but I don’t know if this can be saved. Thanks!

Does anyone know when this spiderette will be able to propagate? It has been growing since last November. Haven’t seen any roots yet. Rest of plant is doing ok, seems very fragile. I water often and have not seen any pests ever on this plant. Leaf tips are always turning crispy and brown. Lighting is good too.

My monstera recently started getting these spots, not really sure what they could be. Are these pest related or is it something I might be doing? HELP!!

My coworker has a bonsai that we think is dead, like very dead. however is there any way he could salvage any part of it? There was also some white mold from overwatering. Any ideas on death/ funeral preparations??

My cat palm is really suffering this winter. What can I do to help? I am struggling with humidity even with a humidifier. Right now the room is at 30%. Which is so low. But it’s so cold in St. Louis with all the snow.

Best way to get rid of mealybugs on my African Violet? I know they don’t like their leaves wet and the bugs are way down in the center. I’ve killed off all visible ones. It’s isolated from other plants.

My plant is covered in all these black spots, on almost all its leaves. I don’t think it’s overwatered and it is getting adequate light. What could be wrong with it?

Are these brown things along the stem anything to worry about?

This is my flaming Katy, I got it about 2 weeks ago, and 6 days ago I noticed flowers wilted so I pruned them and then the leaves wilted so I pruned those too then I noticed this white stuff appeared. And underneath the white stuff the stem is black I got this plant from CVS and I don't know what to do.

Does anyone know how to help my Philodendron? I make sure it’s not overwatered, but it looks pale and wilted.
