Stunted leaves on Nasturtiums
Can anyone offer advice on my Nasturtiums? I sowed seeds, which had been saved by a friend, successfully in March in fresh potting soil in 10 cm pots. Most of them did very well and are flowering nicely, both in sun and partial shade. From the beginning though, a few of them though had very tiny or stunted leaves in the middle. Now even some of the ones that we’re doing well are starting to show signs of this.
I did find some caterpillars on one and picked them off and that plant seems fine.
I saw signs of a leaf miner on a couple and took off those leaves along with any yellowing leaves.
I should say that, not knowing where exactly I would put them in the garden, I sunk the 10 cm pots into other planters with soil, so that I could water them separately, and move them around, as I wished. Stunted leaves on right of photo.
Thanks in advance. For. Any tips!

Hi all - worried about my Bird of Paradise - 2 lower leaves turning brown in the middle. Owned for 5m and hasn’t been repotted, water only when top 2 inches are dry, seems to drain fine but still in original nursery soil. Really appreciate any advice!

Hi all! I’ve just started taking an interest in plants about a year ago. I bought this fig leaf fern due to its popularity. At my old house and circumstances, it did fairly well. Then we had a big move across town. I learned I had no drainage in my pot and why the new problems. He was swimming in water when I repotted him “Fergus”. Now he has drainage. The top leaves stand but are turning brown. The lower half is green but won’t branch out. Just all huddled together. I understand there was some shock in the beginning but now I don’t know what’s going on? I follow the Planta schedule exactly. I talk to it hoping to draw it out of this plant anxiety. What do you recommend???

I have had this string of nickels for a while and just recently have noticed it stop growing. The soil on top seems to stay damp for a really long time even though there is a reservoir for the pot that the water drains to. Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

I just got this thai con and this leaf is completely curled. I repotted her in a chunky soil mix, gave her some water, and she's sitting under a grow light for now. I also have the option of throwing her in my greenhouse if humidity may be the problem! Thanks for your help

My swiss cheese plant is dying ☹️ i repotted it immediately after i got it because it was so root bound and separated them into two. the first 3 pic is the one that's taken the biggest blow. the last pic is the main/bigger plant , which is also slowly developing yellow leaves. it's been a week and i haven't watered them since because i have no idea if that will make things worse or not. what should i do 😭😭

PLEASE HELP!! Mold is eating my plants. I’ve been praying with 1-1-1 91% alcohol peroxide and water on the soil. Not over saturating. I’m losing my plants and I’m scared.

I just can’t seem to get along with my Hoya Lisa Australis. New leaves keep dying off before they even fully grow, and I’m not sure why. It keeps putting out new shoots, but the plant stays bare because so many of them die too early. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I found it at the clearance section at Lowe’s. I’m not sure how to fix it. It definitely needs a repotting but this is the first time I’ve a plant like this one. I believe it’s call a rose painted Calathea? Any suggestions to bring her back to health?

My monstera was overwatered. I'm still new at this. I repotted it with fresh, dry potting soil (fertilized), mixing in just a bit of the overly moist (overwatered) soil to balance out moisture and keep the environment somewhat familiar. Is there anything else I need to do? I want this beautiful plant to live! All assistance is welcome. I'm a novice.

Does anyone know what might be wrong with my Ficus Benjamina ? About six months ago, it had an ant problem, which I resolved by treating it with diatomaceous earth and transplanting it into a new pot. Since then, the ants haven’t returned, but the plant hasn’t been thriving—its leaves are constantly drooping and falling off.
Three weeks ago, I moved it to a spot with more light, hoping it would help, but it seems the plant didn’t respond well. This morning, I found a lot of fallen leaves on the floor.
I’d really appreciate any advice or insight—thank you in advance!

Are these propagations dead? They’ve been in water for abt 3 weeks. (With changed water) the leaves are still really green and it’s still really firm. What’s going on? Will they root? Btw they are 3 different props

Has anyone used bonide systemic granules in hydro or semi hydro? I googled it and got conflicting answers (surprise). Or if someone would recommend how to control a thrips outbreak when you've got a ton of props in water and perlite that would be great too. I thot id heard or read that pests usually weren't a problem with hydro/semi-hydro but I'm pretty sure I'm seeing signs of damage so...
