I rescued this poor guy from my besties windowsill, he was shoved behind a couch and forgotten 😭 When I took him home he was barely green, mostly brown/grey and I’ve given him some TLC, the left pic is when I had him for about four days and picture on the right is me having him for two weeks. I’ve repotted, and fertilized, and been misting. Does anyone have any other advice with helping its recovery? Should I take off or leave the more damaged pieces or are some scars ok? Ty in advance!

My Striped Calathea had been really healthy until it crisped up last week (I moved out of the direct light). My cat chewed on it a little in the new location , so I moved it again. Now I've noticed some pests that look kinda like tiny spider. My poor plant seems to stressed. Any idea what the pests are and how to help it recover.
Hello! I acquired this Bird of Paradise. Some of the branches are obviously bent but none are completely broken. Do I cut off the stems that are bent? Or keep taking care of her to try and get them back?
I’m new with plants and when I got this one it was healthy but some of the leaves died and I took them off. Now the biggest leaf is brown and dried at the end and I don’t know why. Please help!
I need help. I think it needs to be repotted. Any suggestions
Hello all! I downloaded planta to get help with my Dumb Cane. I first got it I'm a florist's surprise bowl from my grandma. She relieved it as a gift at my grandma's funeral, so I'm obviously desperate to keep it alive and have it grow. It's got 3 stalks with almost no leaves and one stalk with none (the thickest stalk... go figure). I just reported it in a combo of the soil I had on hand, (sand, perlite, potting mix, cactus mix) to have something well draining and chunky as I read online, this repot is new but I've had the plant for months with no new growth. It was in plain basic potting mix before. And lives under a grow light. No root rot. Do you think this repot will help or do I need to do more? The big stalk has been working on that node nub for a month...
Hey everyone! In need of desperate help. I recently had to repot a bunch of my plants and they look far worse than before and it’s scaring me…. The soil doesn’t feel super wet after watering . They look really limp and unhealthy. I’m so devastated. The Palm I have has new growth but some of the leaves look so dried out and dying . I’m usually so great until I repot 😞 The signs of what I’m seeing are completely opposite of what I know and I need help.
This is my allow Vera and it is kinda dry at some parts
Help! I repotted this guy 12 days ago & put a cacti/succulent soil in and now the leaves are falling off and it’s dying. What should I do to save it?
I have new blooms on my Kalanchoe but also a bit of trouble with browning and wilting on some of my leaves. Any advice?
I’ve been growing my reaper pepper plant for 3. Months and this is its progress
Hi! I have a flamingo lily here that is set on dying. No matter what I do, she keeps yellow leaves. When I get her, she was basically dead so I cut off all of the dead leaves and such and tried water propagating to grow some of her roots back, but her leaves began to yellow and she seemed to do much better in soil, so this is where she has been since. I thought maybe it was overwatering, but I only water when the soil is almost dry. Any advice is appreciated! TIA!
Hi my name is Fran picked this plant up because it said didn’t need lots of light but looking sick dropping leaves. Only water when dry. Does anyone know what’s going on?
Alocasia Frydek Need advice! We’re down to almost one leaf- she sits in an east window, is weakly fertilized every watering (roughly every 2 weeks give or take) humidity is 55-70 with the humidifier,it’s in a chunky soil now I’m nervous to move it so semi hydro but I do have some LECA and could transfer. It also has a root on the top of the soil so maybe needs a repot? I’m so nervous to mess with her though! Is there something I’m missing? The most white leaf is new it just came in a week ago, and now the other one is getting floppy 🥺 no Pests visible
In need of some desperate help! My Cactus Craig was totally thriving for the first few months of living with me. I had him by a nice window with lots of light and didn’t water him for months. He was thriving. Then finally gave him a water at about three months of having him and he seemed just fine. Unfortunately I left the window open 2 nights in a row (just not thinking 😭) and I’m pretty sure I gave him a cold shock! I’ve moved him away from it now in hopes he will recover but nothing is working. Please help me. Craig is not doing well and any tips are much appreciated!!
Anyone have ideas as to what's going on with my grandmother's ivy? She passed away in 2022, and I am propagating with 2 cutting from the originally plant I had before she passed. One cutting is doing fine; the other appears to be dying. Leaves are turning gray/brown and drying out. The soil is well-draining and moist, so I don't think it's being underwatered. Would appreciate any help!!
Hi! My name is Collin and I am new to Planta. My grandma passed away, and she had been taking care of my Norfolk Island Pine for about 10 years. It is 10 years old, and I’ve never cared for it before. She had it in a south facing window, and I have it in a west facing window and I think it’s getting to much sun the tips are brown a bit in some spots and I want to stop hurting it early on. I’m going to move it away from my window, but what can I do to help it get better? I am a beginner I know very little about plants, and I really care about this one and don’t want it to die. Please help me if you can!
My new leaves are coming in light green and damaged already… I have repotted in a perlite, orchid bark, worm castings and potting soil mix, I have been misting for extra moisture. I have also checked for spider mites.. I’m unsure what this guy needs! Please help :)
What is this? Is it a mushroom? Should I be worried?
