Stromanthe lovers, SOS! Does anyone know what causes this phenomenon where new leaves grow in curled and wilted right near the stem? I’ve definitely provided inconsistent humidity for this over the winter but it’s still putting out new leaves with a fervor, though they’re not coming out super lush or strong. Any tips appreciated 🙏🏼

Okay, what are these little worm looking things in my water plant?? I just noticed them yesterday. Are they pests? Are they good for the plant? Where did they come from? The water was just changed about a week ago.

OK, so this is gonna be kind of long winded. I got this aloe plant for my great aunt nine years ago and I took it home and it was thriving for a while but then I went to college and left it with my mom (a known plant killer lol) thinking that it was pretty hearty and kind of hard to kill an aloe plant of this size. but I think the damage has been done. I've been trying everything I can after I moved home from college to help revive it and strengthen it but nothing seems to be helping. any tips?

I saw this mushroom on my oxalis a few months ago. Did a little research- Leucocoprinus birmbaunii: it’s harmless, but I wanted to remove bc of spores that I do NOT want in my lungs. Keeps coming back!! I literally unpot the d@mn thing and remove all the fungus and it still keeps growing back!! How do I fix??? Completely new pot and soil?? Grew like twice the size in 24 hours!! (Don’t judge the name of the plant I just like Hazbin Hotel)

Hello! I’ve had an issue with fungus gnats and I think it’s the soil I’ve been buying since they keep coming back after I repot plants. How do you know you’re buying soil from a good source and anything you recommend doing to treat the soil before potting to make sure there aren’t any gnat eggs in it? Thank you!

I've had this rubber plant for about a year now but its leaves have been falling and I've noticed browning of some leaves as well. Despite, leaves falling it has grown a new leaf. It was diagnosed with overwatering which I've worked on it for about 2 months now. Could I save my plant?

I got this lemon balm plant for free because it needs a little extra TLC. There are some brown spots on some leaves and I'm not sure it's suppose to be so vine-like. Any advice on care would be appreciated!

Hi! I’m a beginner and this is my beautiful baby Monstera. One of the leaves recently turned yellow, and I’m not sure what to do. I did repot it into a much bigger container not long ago, and I think I might’ve overwatered it so once I noticed the yellowing, I poured some water out and started using a humidifier. Lately, I haven’t been home as much, so it hasn’t been getting as much sunlight as usual. I just ordered some fresh soil and plant food, but in the meantime… should I cut off the yellow leaf or try to save it? And if I can save it, how do I go about it?🌱🪴🤍🫶🏼

Hi everyone, I got this lucky bamboo a couple months ago and it’s been doing my pretty well. But the yellow-pale part worries me because it has black spots. The roots are looking great and it’s had this pale branch since I got it, it hasn’t grown but idk if it’s bad or not. Any recs?

Hi new here so going to be asking questions about my plants that I can’t find answers online! Any help is appreciated! I believe this is a snake plant, and I moved it from direct sunlight to filtered since the leaves were scorching but it hasn’t really grown for the last month or so, should I be worried?

I’ve had this orchid for a while and killed it with overwatering even though I was using wood chip “soil”. I’m pretty sure it’s a goner but it’s been like this for over 3 months, is there any way to save it? The leaves not dying for that long gives me hope. I change the water every 3 weeks or so but add more plus hydrogen peroxide for oxygen

Found this and a spider in the planter when watering. Is this a spider mite? My plant just 2 inch, how should I do pest control without killing my plant?

My african violets have fuzzy mold on the dirt. Still in the nursery cup I bought it in a month ago and I have no idea what to do. Very new to this and would appreciate any help or tips. 🫨

I have a plant (2 technically) infested with fungus gnats. IT IS SOOOOO ANNOYING!!!! I put tape that I folded over all around the side of the pot. Do you think this will work instead of little traps that are specifically made for it? If not, what do you guys recommend? I’m pretty sure the common denominator of which plants have them are the ones I repotted so I’m thinking the soil was probably bad😐🤦🏻‍♀️ HELP 😂 Also, the pot that has the gnats is a fairly big pot and has a layer of rocks at the bottom that I was trying to help use for extra drainage, but maybe this is also a problem? But even after chopping off her eye, could you not 4 feet long roots she had to be in this big of a pot. (See photo below) The other plant that has it in a separate room that I repotted with the same house plant soil has a tiny amount of rocks in the bottom of it as well. SEND HELP

I’ve propagated this turtle vine and am seeing one brown spot on each leaf, and a few leaves on the other propagation also have one. It only gets a few hours of direct sun so I doubt it’s getting scorched. Could it be a fungus or something?
