Good morning everyone, I have a beautiful snake plant that just recently got two spots and a rotted leaf, that I pulled out . I’m following the water scheduling, per the app, which is about once a month. These are the first spots I’ve had on the plant and I’m wondering if I’m watering too much. I struggle determining soil moisture from dry damp to moist . I bought a moisture reader, which reads it’s dry, but when I put my finger in it feels damp not moist. From what I’ve read the snake plant doesn’t like a lot of water, so could the spots be due to overwatering? I’m in Edmonton Alberta, Canada and it’s winter right now.

Hello, my money tree has yellow/brown / falling leaves, but also has NEW growth at the top. It seems like it’s the lower leaves that are damaged. She gets southeast sun throughout the day. I’m not sure if I’m misting too much, or over watering. I’m in CO, and our air is so dry.

Help! My prince of orange philodendron is not doing well and I don’t know why. The leaves feel very droopy and thin, and the edges of one of the leaves has turned brown/yellow and crispy. Any help on what is happening and how to fix it would be very much appreciated.

The center of my turtle vine is dying, but the ends are super healthy and putting out new leaves. Anyone know how I can fix this? Is it under watered?

My Peperomia’s leaves have been getting pretty pale. Planta says it might need to be repotted but I wanted to make sure it isn’t a watering issue

Please help. I’ve been growing a lemon plant (from a lemon seed) for about two years now. It’s been a very slow grower, but always healthy. I read about overwintering, and have had it in my attic for the past few months (cold but next to a window for bright morning light). It’s been doing great, until today when I checked on it and the leaves are fairly brittle and shriveled. I’m in the south, so the temps have been cold for here, but not below freezing (outside). What should I do? Was watered about two weeks ago. Soil is dryish, slightly moist a few inches down. Stem is rigid and green. TIA

Does anyone know what these white dots on my soil are. This is my peace lily and it is recovering right now after almost dying during the winter. They didn’t look like much but i picked a piece up with tweezers and they’re moving.

My tiny fiddle is growing but has developed some browning. Can anyone tell me what’s possibly happening? She was getting indirect light (roughly 12 feet from a southern facing window) throughout the day, but I’ve recently placed her under a grow lamp to provide more light. I only use rain or bottled water.

I got this Happy Bean plant about 2 weeks ago now. It’s been in plant “quarantine” with an east facing window. I went to look at it today to check in, and it’s been losing leaves. I’m not sure why. I didn’t see any pests (though she is quite dense at her base) and her moisture was average. These leaves were either laying there or fell with just touching the leaf. Any ideas?

Most of the plants love it in here, but not the watermelon peperomia. The leaves won’t completely unfurl. My humidity is 75% and my temp is 80 f. I’ve got plenty of light. Using meters to water it right. Any leaves that look right were there before I got it. Anybody have an idea?

What the heck is happening?! Last time I checked on this baby, it looked totally fine, went to water it today and almost all the middle leaves look squished and dented. This plant never moves unless I’m watering it, so the leaves aren’t damaged from being hit or knocked around.
