My sister gave me this dragon tree to try and save.
Tips on what is wrong with it?

Both are the same exact plant bought on the same exact day. One is thriving. The other is slowly dying. Both are treated the exact same.

I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong with this Hibiscus It bloomed beautifully until August. I do not see pests on it - any advice?

Hey guys, this is my first post so not sure if anyone will even see this or respond but I’ve noticed these markings on my variegated umbrella plant (this is the newest bit of growth) and wondered if anyone could advise on what it is?
Each of the brown dots is slightly raised. I can’t see any pests on it, I don’t have any known pest problems in my other plants, the soil isn’t too moist and I’m watering and using fertiliser etc as I should be. She’s also on the outskirts of a grow light (probably 1.5ft under and maybe 9-10in to the side) which is on 12hrs a day due to having no south facing windows in my apartment.
Mind the little spikes on the stems, she was a victim of a cactus attack in the store when I bought her😭
I’ve repotted her today into a better draining soil mix (potting compost, orchid bark and perlite), because she was still in her nursery pot with the soil that b&q use which isn’t the best. She wasn’t root bound and had no sign of root rot.
I’m a fairly new plant mum so pls be kind x
- I’ve attached a picture of the plant from above so you can see the other leaves.
Thanks in advance 🩷

This is my Lion’s Tail plant. It’s one of my favor plant. Although it’s growing and having lots of babies, it is showing some black spots on some leaves and the tips are turning brown. Sometimes it also looks yellowish. Can anyone tell me what is wrong and how can I help. It’s one of my older plant and I don’t want to loose it. I keep it outside because i don’t have any space inside, but i’m in CA and weather is nice. Thank you in advance.

What is wrong with my albahaca plant. It was doing very well and all of the suddenly almost all the leaves became ill.

So she’s turning yellow! Ugh. I’ve already cut one of her leafs because she’s pushing out a new one and that one was pretty much dead and with no energy. But this leaf is strong and standing on her own but now she’s turning yellow and I’m scared she’ll end up like her twin…. In the trash. I’ve read they sometimes can only have two leafs because it’s too much energy for them but she’s the first leaf and the one she’s picking out would be the second. Any help and tips truly appreciated!!!
Update::: it was spider mites… because of course….
Step one was DROWNING her in warm water and dish soap! Then I treated her with spider mite spray! After that I have been isolating her in the corner of my living room with purple light and I had to cut TWO of her most infected ones! I just had to let them go but the last two are brand new leafs that haven’t even fully opened yet so I’m trying to give them a chance to survive! I’ll be wiping them down every two days and I’ll be very sad if I have to fully cut her down.
In happier news the corm that she gave me has given me a brand new leaf so if I do end up throwing her mom away at least I have her baby!!

Had to cut off a few branches from my limelight hydrangea tree due to fall webworms. 😫 I then sprayed with neem oil to, hopefully, kill/deter any eggs I missed. Any other suggestions to help keep them away would be greatly appreciated!

This is about an hour after cutting my cactus that had root rot. It’s a little brown around the vasculature still - do I need to cut more? This is the second cut.

Help?!
I’m a newbie to plant care & trying so hard to establish a green thumb but I’m clearly struggling! Does anyone have any suggestions on what’s wrong or what I can do to help this failing plants thrive? Currently trying to revive a spider plant, haworthiposis venosa, and a lemon lime.

is there any way i can keep a banana plant inside?? this is my second one ive had in the same spot but ive added a grow light since the first one. it seems to be doing the same thing tho, it only keeps three leaves the same way alocasias do, and every time i new leaf comes an old
one dies. but the entire time most leave have some yellowing with browning the same way it looks with root rot (around the edges) but also random big spots on the leaves as well. i know it has pest as well so that is definitely a problem but honestly my plants usually have pests and don’t die. I live in canada so putting it outside in the ground isn’t an option. Any help is wanted thanks!!

HELP! Is my polka dot plant too dry???
Why is it wilting like this? The leaves feel super thin and sad

Are these soil mites? They’re actively crawling around the edge of the pot, with only one or two on the plant itself. In the photo, they’re actually crawling on the bottom of a yellow sticky trap. The plant looks healthy, without any signs of tissue damage or webbing.
If they’re soil mites, I read they could be beneficial even?

Has anyone tried Systemica Insect Killer brand for spraying on plants? I don’t mean systemic. Systemica is the brand name.

Hii! I just got this Monstera Albo the other day off FB and it came with these yellow spots. They don’t seem to be spreading but I’m wondering if I should be worried? Or if I can just leave it be?

Strange sesame seed looking things growing from new nodes on Hoya Matilde Splash… found along with this lil bug. Both are very very tiny, about the size of a poppy seed.
Lay it on me… how bad is it? 🙃
