Any thoughts on my purple waffle plant. Many leaf ends have a grayish coloring which I thought might be sunburn. It is also getting very leggy and falling over. I moved it to a north west facing window with a bit more shade a week ago. It’s in all purpose potting soil in a 6” pot. Was watered yesterday and previously 9 days ago.

Anyone have any clue what’s happening here? Just noticed it today. (I’m sorry the photos are such bad quality I tried my best- the second one is the underside of that leaf)

hii friends! i have a snapdragon i just transplanted last Friday right after it started blooming for the first time (bad idea), she’s been a lil weepy the past few days, wilting and dropping blooms — is there anything i can do other than leave her alone and continue to water well? fresh soil and she’s been inside in my sunniest window to keep her out of the heat when necessary

Overall, my plant is pretty healthy, but should I be worried about this leaf?

Hi plant friends 🥰 Looking for a little help here. When I brought my ZZ home it was already big and then it became SUPER big. Now I feel like it’s struggling and I am unsure why. I’ve attached some photos for help. I’ve noticed the leaves are thinner and smaller than they used to be. I’ve had some yellowing and some drop off too. I know ZZ are tubers so they are different to work with than something with a traditional root system. I’m not sure how to approach this one. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated 🥰 I tried to take as many photos as possible. She lives in a west facing window that gets really nice afternoon/ evening sun. I dust her regularly and try to turn the soil too. I love her and don’t want her to struggle!

I repotted my bird of paradise because I suspected that I overwatered it, do I water it now because I repotted it or should I wait.

Hi, what could be the reason for these black veiny new leaves? Good day!

I can’t keep a string of pearls alive. I’ve spent so much money on buying string of pearls and every single one of them dies. I keep them in direct sun, lightly shaded and indirect light and all locations they’ve died. It seems like the soil goes mould and the pearls dry up.. any ideas?

I am very new to the plant community, and I got this pothos as one of my first plants a few weeks ago. I noticed these brown spots on a few of the leaves, and now almost every leaf has at least one brown spot on it. After hours of research, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is a problem from over watering. But my question is if there if any saving my plant at this point? If I have to cut off every leaf that has brown spots I won’t have any plant left :(

Hello guys I got this aglaonema last month, all the leaves were green then turned yellow i was told it was normal but now I lost 3 leaves and about to lose another . I was watering when soil was still damp like twice so I waited till completely dry and water today w/ fertilizer. Could that have been the problem? Should I repot ?does it need a bigger pot , and check the roots ?

hey friends! doing a little bit of a panic right now. these plants were living in a not great pot so i moved them out and into some water for about 2 weeks while i was getting supplies. i repotted them 2 days ago into separate pots with drainage holes and a mix of regular potting soil + soil for violets (it’s just what i had). i’ve been trying to keep the soil moist but not wet. since then i’ve noticed some tips getting yellow, and now whole leaves since this morning. is this shock? something else? any and all help would be super duper appreciated 💚🪴

What’s wrong with my African Violet? The leaves are really droopy and they just started doing it today I think. (There are no blooms because I don’t have the fertilizer yet)

Can anyone tell me what is going on with this pinstriped calathea plant? I’m following the apps recommendations for watering and misting. Do I need to cut them out or will they get better? Thanks

Hi bbs! My poor little crassula lost a lot of her leaves, i repotted her with succulent soil and have been using succulent fertiliser. I water her once every two weeks, she is kept in sunlight. And ive now put her on a droplet feeder. Will her leaves regrow? Unfortunately i didnt take a photo of the roots when i repotted her but they didnt look too great, the reason i repotted was due to mould growth. I dont know if shes still sick or recovering as im not all too educated on plants. Ive had her over a year. The stem doesnt look too healthy and its sad because she used to have so many leaves. Any information is greatly appreciated and advice is much needed. Thank you so much for reading all this haha! Love you all and happy growing <3

I just discovered this on the bottom of my new neon pothos, I cut the leaf but I’m not sure if this is something that I need to treat the whole plant for? I’ve never had to deal with pests or fungus or anything before 😬 thanks in advance, all info welcome👍🏼
