I bought a peperomia columnella not long ago and it just self destructed?? Anyone know how I can help it? I’m moving it into a smaller pot with new soil but it’s already so dead and the roots are gone….

Can someone tell me what is causing these brown spots on her leaves? And my new leaf is damaged.

I got this monstera two weeks ago, it had preexisting leaf damage. I watered it on Saturday and let it get some direct sunlight for about half an hour. I then noticed this bruise on Sunday. Any clue on why it’s happening? This is a younger leaf that was pretty beat up as you can see. Is it a water pressure thing? Sunlight burn?

He had my cactus for around 5-ish months. It’s my first plant that I haven’t killed and my only plant at the moment. Is there anything concerning about it or anything that could be changed? For a brief amount of time the pricks or spins of the cactus were almost loose and if I touched it too much it would come off, but that was mainly because I forgot to water it. Any advice is helpful. Thank you!

Hi - so I bought a ponytail palm about a month ago from a nursery, I didn’t change the soil because it seemed fine and I’ve only watered once since I bought it. I mostly leave most of my plants alone until I know they need water, so today I was very surprised to see these little mushrooms growing in the soil. 😯 Google tells me they’re harmless, but may be due to high humidity and if I have pets (I do) to remove them.. any advice?

MAMMOTH SUNFLOWER PROBLEM SOS I have no clue what this infestation is but it’s eating my mammoths alive. I NEED HELP FROM SOMEONE.

Neglected my fiddle fig for about a month w no water and now it has brown spots on the bottom leaves. No pests from what I can see. Just watered it today. Can it be saved or will those leaves drop off and become a bare bottom?

Help please! I repotted my Marble Queen Pothos plant today, and when I pulled her out of her old pot her roots broke off due to root rot, and are now very shallow. The leaves are still very full and looking great. But I had to downsize the pot to try to help get the roots healthy again. Any suggestions on how to help with recovery?

Can someone tell me what’s eating my honeysuckle. It is a similar pattern on some rose leaves and my neighbours olive. All at close to fences and walls.

I have mealybugs in my snake plants soil 😩. What should I do?! They leave creamy white spots on the leaves and I can’t cut the leaves because I have only 3 leaves. I clean it with a Q-tip and water. Any thing else I can do besides neem oil and insecticides? I don’t have any available.

Help! I don't know what's going on with my Hoya. I don't see any type of bug or spider mite but she's not looking good. Any help is appreciated. Ty in advance! P.S. She's still in the nursery pot she came in months ago if that matters.

I just finished treating this plant and others for spider mites. I took a closer look at my elephant ear and there’s these shiny brown specs all over the underside of its only remaining leaf. Planta diagnosed it as thrips, but I’m not seeing the bugs. Would any of you agree with this diagnosis or suggest otherwise? I am ready to give up and stick her outside and say f* it.

I recently bought a birds of paradise plant which seems to be healthy and growing, but I’m a bit concerned it’s got an infestation. I’ve noticed that every day or the other, I’ll have one or two of these little millipedes underneath the plant either dead or dying. I’m quite new to owning plants so I’ve got no idea if they’ll be hurting or helping the plant? It’s an indoor plant so I’m thinking I’ll need to repot it either way

Help! I bought this plant with a couple leaves that had brown edges. Brought it home. New soil and watered. She appears to be growing and thriving nicely. Except her new leaves turn brown on the edges quickly as well. Any ideas on what could be causing this??

HELP?!? Had this Alocasia Polly for a few years. Was doing well up until a year or so ago. I think originally too close to a heater. Moved it away from heat/ac. Recently dropped second to last leaf, so down to one and it doesn’t look great. Repotted to a smaller porous pot with new mix geared for this type of plant. It was definitely in too big a pot and soil was wet for too long. Luckily the corm seems to still be in good shape - I transplanted before it rotted. Any advice appreciated!

hello! Any ideas on how I could give this girl some love? The growth has been stunted for a bit and there’s quite a bit of leaf browning and crisping starting at the edges.
