I got a watermelon peperomia in the mail a few weeks ago. It came in not great condition during an unfortunate heat spell. At the time I didn’t think it would survive, but it seems very healthy now. I noticed today that all the new leaves are curled, instead of flat like most watermelon leaves usually are. Is this normal for new leaves? If not, could this be from the damage it sustained during shipping, or is there something I am doing wrong? All my other peperomia are healthy and appear to be thriving.

How long after using systemic granules should I wait before introducing lady bugs?

Hello all! I bought this plant a week ago from the clearance section as it already had the browning leaves. I was looking for some insight as to what I can do to stop the browning? I repotted it in fresh soil and it doesn’t seem to have any bugs.

Can anyone tell me what is going on with my Rubber plant. Most of the leaves are perfectly healthy but there are 2 or 3 like this. Its in a window that only gets morning sun, but also has a grow light on it for 6 hrs if the day. I don’t think I’m over watering it, as I’m going with what the app says. Thanks for any help.

I repotted purple basil into a drainage system and have it outside on my patio with some plants. Any advice to save it would be appreciated unless it just needs to finish the shock of it all. I’ve had it about 10 days only.

Hello! New here and concerned about one branch of my indoor fern plant. Most leaves and branches are doing well, including new growth but one is dying and turning brown. Cut the branch off or what? Any ideas?

Could this be that I have overwatered her? She was fine earlier this week, I pruned her, and then this happened?

I bought a pepperspot peperomia yesterday. It is still in its original nursery pot. This morning I noticed a weed growing in the pot with it. I pulled out the weed but it was a very stubborn one and a tiny bit of the plant was damaged as it lost a few leaves and stems. I was afraid the weed would kill the plant eventually so I thought pulling it out would be the best thing to do even a bit of the plant was hurt in the process. Is there anything I should do to treat it? I will keep watching for the weed to resurface in case I didn’t get it all.

quick question, recently acquired a pepper and tomato plant. i was wondering what is the best way to keep pest away (specifically once fruit starts to grow)?

Cely

Does this mean it needs more water? I water them nightly but it has been super hot this week (between 90-100degress). I make sure they get shade once it hits 85degrees.

I got gifted this heartleaf potho from my aunt. It wasn’t doing so good when I got it. I need to add more soil and also I repotted it just in an inch bigger pot so I had room to work with but do I get her to stop the leafs changing. How do I get her to be more fuller without overwatering n over sunning her??

Agreed to assess the condition of my building's Split Leaf Philodendron (Selloum). The plant had so much root rot it was literally falling out of the pot (which was a 12" terracotta pot inside a decorative planter. Cut almost all the leaves off, half the roots & washed with my homemade pest spray. I reported its condition to my neighbors & they essentially suggested binning it. Not on my watch! So now I have a sick plant, very little room for a rehabilitation set up & zero clue. She's sitting in the only glass vase (plant food added to water) I had & I cut all but one leaf (thinking it would help with photosynthesis?) Am I taking on a lost cause? Tips?

Any ideas on how to stop this browning that has been occurring. I was gifted this guy when he was a bit smaller and am unsure what I am doing wrong. One thing I read stated using filtered water which I started doing a month ago. Any other suggestions.

Hey, so my sister has this bird nest fern…poor guy is a little rough. She asked if I could help her revive him. The first pic is what he looks like now and the second is what he looked like. He had dead leaves and some were rotted towards the bottom. I repotted him (drainage holes and chunky soil), got rid of rotted/dead leaves and roots and put him in my greenhouse. The pot he’s in is sitting in a bowl that has rocks on the bottom and water (not high enough for his pot to touch the water) but I saw that can help with humidity that the plant needs. Is there something else I should be doing? I want to save him (oh his name is Marcel) for my sister. Thanks to all in advance 💕

Why is my inch plant becoming dull in color? Some of its leaves are super glittery and thriving. And there are ones like this that are flimsy and almost transparent. Is it too much light? They are a foot away from a east facing window

I’m not sure what’s going on with this plant. Should I be pruning the roots? Is the soil at the top something I even need to attend to? I just changed the water about a week ago. It smelled horrible, like it had soured. Maybe I should add some fertilizer? Or just keep refreshing the water? Any advice helps!
