Do I need to cut these brown leaves? Idk whats wrong with it, i was thinking maybe sunlight but I had it in a shadier area when it started to turn and moved it to brighter light. Don’t think I’m overwatering either

Why are the leaves of my asparagus fern turning yellow? I was wondering if it was signs of overwatering, but the leaves look pretty dry so I’m starting to think if it’s getting too much sunlight. I place it on my window sill and the window is a north facing window but I get pretty good sunlight since there is no other building in front my apartment. Is this a sign of overwatering or is it getting too much sunlight? The soil is pretty wet

Hi everyone!! I just got some new indoor plants for the first time in a while and I’ve had them for a couple weeks now. Within the last week they’ve started growing mold (orchid, spider plant, Chinese money plant). The pots have drainage holes in them so that shouldn’t be the issue. It’s possible I might be overwatering them so I’m trying to scale back on that. What other recommendations do you have for getting rid of mold? I’ve tried cinnamon and today I tried spraying it with diluted hydrogen peroxide. Let me know if anyone has any experience with this and thank you in advance! :)

Sorry for so many posts, looking for help and encouragement because this is the first time I own plants:) Is my Norfolk pine ok? some branches has browning spikes. Maybe too close to the window? (Sun shines all day) Thank you so much!

And the last question: is the bird of paradise doing ok? The very edges started browning and some leaves have weird texture on them.

I have a couple of more questions regarding my plant Banyan 'Audrey' health :) It started forming yellow leaves on the bottom. Is this a normal plant’s life cycle or am I doing something wrong?

Hello! Is there something wrong with my Split-leaf Philodendron? It started forming yellow dots on its leaves. I inherited this plant and its planter (which does not have drainage holes) couple of months ago. The plant is near the window. I use moisture meter to track everything and add 20-20-20 (“Envy” all purpose) fertilizer every other watering session.

My new Rubber Plant keeps getting tiny white spots on one leaf. It’s along the edge of the smallest leaf. It’s also the oldest leaf. I can wipe it away mostly but it comes back. I don’t see anything on the back of the leaf. When I brought it home it was covered in dust but I didn’t see anything buggy when I cleaned it or since. Just these white spots. Is that normal or do I have a problem?

Is this brown spot disease? And if so is it salvageable on my new coffee arabica?

Hello! My Hoyas in my greenhouse cabinet have recently gotten this all over the bottom of them. I’m thinking pests? I don’t know what to do or how to treat them - it seems to be only on my Hoyas? Unfortunately my compactas and my crimson queen got the brunt of the damage 🥲 please send advice!!

I recently had a mealybug apocalypse and I can't tell if these webs are spider webs or mealybugs.

Part of the stem of my monstera has started turning yellow. Got it about 3 weeks ago with most of the brown and yellow spots already there. Repotted it in an admittedly too large pot with well draining soil. Should I be concerned?

Leaf stem looks likes it’s yellowing a bit on my Philodendron Basil. Should I be concerned?

Hi everyone! I just joined this group and I love it already. So I had a Columbine covered in these black specks. I thought it was dirt and realized fast it wasn't.. I'm familiar with green aphids but these specks are on multiple plants. I have a few companion plants that seemed to have put them at bay. Marigolds mostly. Hydrogen peroxide mixture for spray. I hosed them down. They're all in pots so I'm able to try to quarantine them. Should I repot? Btw. Here's my beautiful yellow Columbine. I threw it away before my other plants got destroyed. Broke my heart. I've literally never thrown a plant away. This is an earlier picture before my flowers got hit bad.. I think I transferred it to most of my plants by dead heading. Maybe the greenhouse I got it from may have already had them? I can add pictures of my other plants if that'll help too. I have 3 other Columbines, Passion flower, Petunias, Popcorn plant, Stargazer lilies just coming up. I cut all the leaves off. I haven't tried Neem oil yet. So I'm guessing either Black Aphids or Leaf miners from the plant diagnosis app. Help please!!!

Hey guys! I noticed an issue with my basil today. It’s been growing like a weed, but it looks rotten from the bottom. What happened? Can it be fixed?

Is this fungus on my plant? It has these brown spots all over the branches.

Does anyone know what’s wrong with my plants? (Planing to re-pot them separately)

Can someone help figure out what's going on with my split leaf philodendron? This is what it used to look like and this is what it looks like now. I added one tiny jobe fertilizer stake about 3 weeks ago. I've given it lots of water lately as I moved it outside about a week ago. I've had it a few years and it normally loves being moved outside. I don't know what's going on! Help!
