This is a scindapsus pictus and I haven’t figured out what’s going on. I’m wondering why the leaves are curling up and if it needs more water. Any suggestions are appreciated:)

Hello everyone, I have this alocasia black velvet. Did I overwater it?? Should I prune the dead leaves? I haven’t watered it in a while since I’m afraid of killing the unwrapped leaf. How do I know when I’ve watered it enough?

Hello! I have this little palm of mine that has some brown tips on the leaves from a period of being underwatered. Am I okay to cut the brown bits off or should they be left alone? The rest of the plant is back to healthy growth. Thank you!

Hello. I got this prayer plant a few days ago and it started curling up yesterday. I haven’t watered it yet because the soil is damp, and it’s in its original pot. Does anyone know why it might be doing this? Thanks so much!

I have had this happy bean pepperomia for a while and it continues to lose older leaves and while I am entertained by the palm tree appearance (quite frankly it would bring me a lot of joy to use it to make a living beach 🏝️ scene) I’m just wondering if there’s something I am doing wrong. I water it when it’s totally dry and the window it is maybe a 6 in from faces south. Im a zone 4a in Canada (the plant is inside only). I don’t see any pests on it

Is my aloe going to make it??? He’s looking so sad, turning brown and leaves going wilty and droppy…it’s a baby from a much bigger aloe plant. It has full sun and is sitting in the window sill (though it’s very dark and rainy these days), the pot has drain holes, and I only water when it’s bone dry (skewer test). Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Clara Bow (my string of pearls) is not doing so hot :( I cut off the withered parts that were damaged from overwatering, but is there anything else I can do for her? I'm hesitant to repot her because I just did that not too long ago and I don't want her to be shocked by being moved too much. Do you guys think she can recover?

Few Questions. 1. Should I remove the leaves from my Ficus that have brown spots and propagate or throw them away? Or do I just trim it off? 2. My prayer plant is very leggy, any cuts I can make? 3. Chop the yellow leaf on my Adadnosii? Thanks!

My sister’s ZZ plant just flopped over today. It was doing fine and had a ton of new growth. Her roots look fine and she only waters when the soil is completely dry. (She uses the chopstick trick.) She says there was some sudden cold weather. Is this the reason it is flopping over? Should she cut off the damaged stems? What should she do?

I had this Philodendron Gloriosum at work and I wondered if it needed more light so I brought home and now it looks like this. I thought perked up but the other day I found it looking like this. The dark green leaves have turned pale almost whitish yellow. He looks paler than the photo shows. Any ideas on help for him?

Does this mean it’s getting too much light?? I have it under a grow light about 3 feet from an east facing window. There’s also a humidifier a few feet away. I try to keep the soil moderately moist. Please help!

Hey Everyone! Work was throwing away this plant so I brought it home. I believe it’s a Chinese Evergreen. What can I do to help her out? The leaves are curled up and I don’t think the stalks are supposed to be that exposed? Super new at this, so I’m going in blind!
