This is Agador and he’s not happy for a couple of months now. He doesn’t stay in the sun as in the picture, it was just to take pictures. He was a happy little fella but then in February he started showing yellow leaves that would fell off when I touched them. He had 5 trunks initially and I removed two that were completely soft, mushy. The three remained trunks are hard but the leaves are still getting sick. There is new growth so I’m not sure what is going on. Should I repot it separating the trunks? I read somewhere that the roots might be twisted as well. Could this be the case? Thanks!!

Hi can anyone help work out what’s wrong with my plant? Photos are from June & August last summer, and 3rd photo is now :( It’s supposed to be an evergreen. It’s in a spot where it gets a good amount of sun and a little shade in the evening. Last summer I used to water it most days. I came home over winter it still had all its leaves despite many of my other plants dying. Now Easter I’ve come home and it’s lost most of its leaves. (It hasn’t been tended to properly since September, however my parents have a plant the same species which they do absolutely nothing with, and their’s is thriving! - see last pic)

Had a repot casualty. Can a break like this be repaired? Or will it eventually just result in the bottom of the leaf to die from lack of nutrients? I have a feeling if I’d noticed it last week right after repot it might have been saved but might be too late now that it’s callused.

Today, as I was watering my peperomia I found a dead branch in the pot. I checked over for anything else but nothing was there other than this poor guy. I had recently checked my peperomia a few weeks ago, when I was watering it and so the branch had dropped sometime between. Any suggestions in case he really is unhappy?

Plant Doctor thinks these are burns. The spots are dry and cracky. No webs. No bugs. I had this pothos in a south facing window, so burns are quite possible, but I'm wondering if there are any contagious possibilities that I'm missing.

HELP. We bought this plant a few weeks ago with the intention of saving it… as you can see it has not been saved. Here are a few issues we have found: - curling leaves at the top - yellowing baby leaves at the stem - rotting where new leaves should grow / stems falling off - browning of leaves. We are about to investigate the roots but this is our first monstera. Any advice would be appreciated! 🌱

Needing some mealy bug remedies!! I’m visiting my mom and noticed that her monstera is infested ☹️ neither of us have ever had mealy bugs, so we’re not sure how to get rid of them. Any tips? They’re on almost every leaf.

My jade plant specifically keeps getting mold/fungus on the top soil. Its right by a sunny window, it’s in a 6’ pot, i haven’t watered it in like 2 weeks since I got it and repotted it from its 4’ nursery pot. I tried cinnamon- do I need to repot again with a chunkier/better draining soil mix, a fan for airflow, or just treat the mold? Thanks!!

Hi! Does anyone know what this brownish kind of film is on my mother of thousands? I’ve tried identifying it myself but I’ve never seen this before. I have it quarantined now so hopefully whatever it is, is an isolated issue.

Hi everyone. No pictures today but I am having such a hard time keeping up with my spider plant! It gets to easily root bound, then repot it into a bigger pot and a few weeks later it’s root bound again! The way o can tell that’s its root bound is that it need water ever other day to every 3rd day. Oh and not to mention the amount of babies it’s growing! How does everyone else keep up with their spider plant?

Hi friends I have this peace lily for about a week now, it was good but it had this slightly yellowing leaf for some time and today I noticed these tiny flowers which were ready to bloom turn brown. What could be the reason and what should I do now? Please and thank you

Help!! 🙏🙏This is a philodendron from my great grandpas funeral in 2020 and is very sentimental to my mom. When I moved out, she let me bring it to my new place. I decided to repot it because the old pot didn’t have any drainage. But after repotting a few months ago, its condition has only been getting worse. (The top picture is before I repotted, the bottom one is what it looks like today.). Is there any saving it?

Hi everyone! Wanted to get an opinion! During spring mass repotting, I accidentally repotted three plants into the wrong soil (long story). It’s regular (outdoor) potting soil, so while not the worst thing in the world, these plants would probably prefer something different. None of them look extremely happy right now, but then again, they’ve just been repotted and it was the first repotting for all of them. Do you think it would be better to repot in more suitable soil, or wait a while and let the plants recover from stress? Which is the worst of two evils! 😆 Appreciate any opinion. Plants are: parlor palm, imperial red philodendron, and thanksgiving cactus. Thanks!

Help I think I have may of found ant eggs in my philodendrons soil. It’s outdoors in a semi enclosed area and I noticed ants around but I just thought it was normal because it’s outside but the plants leaves weren’t looking the best so I looked at the soil and saw this. I immediately repotted the plant and washed off all the egg looking things. A ton of ants were also in the soil. I also sprays 1/3 part hydrogen proxied on the roots and leaves to kill any left over eggs or ants. I think sprayed a ton of neem oil on it to hopefully deter more ants from laying more eggs and have it a great new pot of soil. I’ve also ordered plant safe peppermint spray to deter ants further but if you know what those eggs are or know any other ways to kill the ants please send help.
