Newbie plant owner here! I recently received a 30-year-old golden pothos from my mom, who was given the plant as a gift when I was born in the hospital. So obviously, this plant has a lot of sentimental value and I’d really like to keep it alive! I recently repotted it since it had been stuck in the same one for the past few decades, and I noticed these black spots on some of the vines. I know my mom regularly trimmed the leaves, so I’m not sure if those are just healing spots or a bigger problem. As far as I can tell everything else looks normal, but I’m not an expert. I’d appreciate any advice to keep this baby alive!

I took a new photo yesterday of the long awaited new growth on my Hoya Verticillata (inner variegated), a.k.a. Hoya Acuta. Found a snail snacking on it this morning. 🐌
On may 2 I went to Dollar Tree store to buy some cups to give as a gift and I saw these flowers in the distance and I said let me see this, when I see these small bulbs I said let me take a little bag of these there are three bulbs, my sister told me that it’s too late to plant them, it’s still cool here summer doesn’t want to come to New York🤫😂 I planted them if it does anything, look this is going really fast and today is May 23 omg I want to see those flowers 😍😍
Hi everyone. I am looking for some help. I have a plant that is sick. I over watered it I think. The question is should I clip the damaged leaf or leave it? Thanks in advance. Norm
Anyone have any tips on how to improve care for this Dracaena? She has suffered with root rot and fungus gnats in the past and is still growing strong but constantly gets brown tips or spots on the leaves. Current situation is just watering when the soil gets dry and having a grow light on for 12 hours
Anyone have any idea what these fading spots and brown spots are on my rattlesnake calathea?
I've had this plant for about 2 years and it was always doing great. I moved about 6 months ago and it got neglected in the process. It dried out pretty good, and most of it died off. I think I overcorrected and by far overwatered it trying to save it. I repotted it about 2 weeks ago, into a much smaller pot since most of it died off. Some of the stems were completely rotted (smelled horrible) so I pulled them off and cut off as much as I could. What are my next steps for keeping it alive?
Sweet Chinese evergreen looks bad at the base. And it is weak. Has drainage. What’s up??
Is this not enough light? Granted, this is evening light so it's not as bright as it is throughout the day. My baby plants seem to be reaching towards it. This is a north facing window.
Hi I don't know if I'm watering to much or not can someone help me out thank you
Hi! I purchased my Ficus tree about a month ago and need this groups expertise! Is this overwatering or under watering? Fungus? Or maybe something else? I know they are picky. lol I’ve watered her twice since I brought her home. I test with a mosture meter about 3-4 inches down and water when it’s full dry at that depth until it seeps out the drainage holes (maybe 3-ish cups of water)… Thank you for any help you can give me! I’ve included an image of where she sits in our living room so you can see light.
My monsteras burned in the scorching heat 🥲 how do I help them? I’ve moved them to a shady area of my porch but they’re still not doing well. Please help 😭

My fiddle leaf has been growing leaves like crazy, but the most recent ones are not looking too great. Any ideas for how to solve this problem?
My bird of paradise has these white spots that were previously just on the lower trunk but are now all the way up the stems. Can anyone tell me exactly what this is and the most effective way to treat? Do I need to repot?
Hello! So I have a raspberry plant and a couple weeks ago it was barely growing raspberries but I looked at it today and it is brown and it’s just withered Does anyone know why?
My white wizard is turning brown only on the white parts. It is under a grow light, doesn't get too much water and is surrounded by other plants so im hoping it's humidity is up. It is still producing new growth. Google says it could be overwatering, underwatering, too much light, not enough light.... so just unhelpful and confusing. What do you guys think? Any tips? I love it so much and don't like seeing it like this!
I have my peace Lilly from my grandfathers funeral and it isn’t doing too well. I have it in indirect light and on a watering schedule. What to do for it to be healthy again?
bought this aenonium at a gardening event for about 10 dollars. i’m very new to taking care of plants, and i find this one very beautiful so i don’t want to risk losing it. it looked healthy at first, but when i took it home and inspected it further i found that there were a bunch of black spots on the underside of the leaves. i had it in water for a couple days, changed the water out when it needed it, and it is now in soil. i have sprayed it with pest spray and have been using liquid fertilizer, i have also cut off a few of the deadest leaves on it. does anyone know whats wrong with it? how do i help it? i know its a very juvenile plant, maybe this is normal. but i dont know! 😭
I moved my monstera into a bright location too quickly and I think it got shocked. I’ve had to cut off a number of he lowest leaves which have turned yellow very quickly in the last few weeks. Will it recover?
