My most prized plant, a once beautiful, 9-leaf albo, has gone off the deep end. About a month ago I combined two of them into the same pot, and one week later the leaves started falling off and the roots started rotting. I separated them, cleaned the roots, and crossed my fingers, but this is her today. Is she salvageable? I’m honestly scared to check the roots in case there are none 😭
hi!! is this cold damage??? is the plant salvageable? i have three others that i got at the same time and none of them have this; i’m thinking it had to be from a 20 minute car trip to a different location. 6 degrees.
I just got this orchid from my mom hoping I could help save it! If anyone has a tips on how to help that would be great!!! Also what should I name her?!?!? Xxx
Please help, I bought this half dead philodendron gloriosum hoping to save it, and it’s not going as hoped. the leaves are paper thin and floppy, but the stems and middle of the leaves are strong and hydrated. It was just treated for thrips as a precaution too, my other plant had them and was nearby but no signs on the gloriosum. any advice? She gets indirect light throughout the day, is misted often and sits outside my shower for extra humidity, and gets a tropical/airy soil mix. thanks!
Could’ve sworn this leaf was green yesterday but now it’s yellow?!? I think she is under watered so I put her closer to the humidifier.
My jade plant is growing upper sideways and the leaves are softer than I’d like. Anything I’m doing wrong? It doesn’t look very happy right now. It’s under a grow light and I don’t water it too too often, only when it needs it. This app said about once a month.
Bad news. Bethany still has the issue. I cut so much of her back. I do think it may be powdery mildew based on th way it’s spread. (Quick but sporadic) I trimmed back so many leaves and it’s now affecting some of the woody material. Help!!!
Why are my plant’s leaves curled up like this? They’ve been curled for a while now. They’re not new leaves, either. They were flat but now they’ve curled. I just watered it yesterday. Help? Please?
My string of pearls, not sure what’s going on. Did it get to dry/wet to close to the window?? For the most part the bad spots are right where the strings hangover the pot. I’ve tried to remove the bad strings and plan on propagating. What kind of soil would be best to lay them in? Would a glass baking dish with plastic wrap over it work good?
My ficus plants bottom leaves are turning green/yellow and I’m not sure what to do. I bought it a few weeks ago and haven’t repotted it but it has good drainage holes. I have watered it twice. It lives in my bathroom and gets some good morning sun. Any tips are appreciated!
I have a Florida beauty that I water twice a month. I put her in the shower for a few minutes, and let her drain through the drainage holes. This appeared on a leaf a few days ago. Does that indicate under watering or over watering? She has a lot of recent healthy leaf growth! 🌱
Love this plant, but im not sure why hes so floppy? He used to do this when he was thirsty, but now I watered it and he never perked back up, he has plenty of light and everything (hes a big plant)
I’m lost with my pilea. It thrived for months, but now has been losing a ton of leaves over the last couple of months. It still has a lot of new growth. I water when dry and every time I do I feel like I lose a new round of leaves. I’ve checked roots and they look fine to me. It’s in a west facing window with lots of light. I’m feeling very discouraged!
Hello, i’m new too peace lily’s and i was wondering how i can help her! Update: Moved her closer to a window new picture
I don't know if this will help anybody, but I decided to share just in case anyone else is dealing with those evil fungus gnats. This is my extra bathroom where I keep all of the babies I've started and a few plants that need some extra love. I went in there last week and was swarmed with them!! Zillions!! No idea where they came from. But less than a week later I don't have them anymore. This is what I did. I made a mixture of one part hydrogen peroxide to three parts water and I poured it through until it came out the bottom. That kills the eggs. Then I covered all the tops with sand and stuck in some of those sticky things. I learned that worked a couple of years ago when I had them in over 100 plants and spent a fortune trying everything else. The only warning is that once they're gone remove the sand off of anything that doesn't like to stay wet because it does hold more moisture. Found out the hard way when I lost a few succulents last time.
My husband opened the window next to where my peace lily lives, and now it looks like this. It was exposed to the -20°F temps here in Wisconsin 😢 This plant means a lot to me because I was gifted it after my sister passed away. Is there hope for it? What do I do??? I’ve never exposed this plant to the cold before.
This is my Thai Constellation Monstera- I had a monstera before this and had a similar issue. It looks like a root rot issue because that was what happened last time. Along with the brown spots coming on the plant. Please if anyone has any tips for me it would be greatly appreciated. To also add- I live in a dorm and this seems like a common occurrence so I’m not sure what I need to do!
My ficus ginseng is yellowing and I’m not seeing any growth. 1-2 hours of direct sunlight and I have it on a good watering schedule. I’ve had it for maybe four months now. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance plant friends!! ✨🌷🍀🌼🌱🌵🪻🪴✨
So I bought this plant online about2, 2.5 weeks ago it arrived in perfect condition, despite traveling to Michigan and -10° weather. It arrived perfect, and healthy I let it sit in the pot. It came in for 24 hours and then I repotted it. The soil I used was regular potting soil mixed with perlite and orchard bark. I watered it with liquid fertilizer and it’s just dwindling. Anybody have any ideas the ends are crispy and then you move a little bit more down and the leaf is like floppy flexible and wrinkled.
What might cause this. The rest of the plant is healthy Could it have gotten damaged somehow?
