Help! My prince of orange philodendron is not doing well and I don’t know why. The leaves feel very droopy and thin, and the edges of one of the leaves has turned brown/yellow and crispy. Any help on what is happening and how to fix it would be very much appreciated.

The center of my turtle vine is dying, but the ends are super healthy and putting out new leaves. Anyone know how I can fix this? Is it under watered?

My Peperomia’s leaves have been getting pretty pale. Planta says it might need to be repotted but I wanted to make sure it isn’t a watering issue

Please help. I’ve been growing a lemon plant (from a lemon seed) for about two years now. It’s been a very slow grower, but always healthy. I read about overwintering, and have had it in my attic for the past few months (cold but next to a window for bright morning light). It’s been doing great, until today when I checked on it and the leaves are fairly brittle and shriveled. I’m in the south, so the temps have been cold for here, but not below freezing (outside). What should I do? Was watered about two weeks ago. Soil is dryish, slightly moist a few inches down. Stem is rigid and green. TIA

My striped calathea is covered in sticky dew and has small bug crawling the leaves also remain upright all the time rather than only at night. I’ve rinsed it down but the dew has come back. What bugs are these and what shall I do please

Does anyone know what these white dots on my soil are. This is my peace lily and it is recovering right now after almost dying during the winter. They didn’t look like much but i picked a piece up with tweezers and they’re moving.

Hi all! Can someone help me with my philodendron? The yellow has definitely spread since I bought it. Thank you!!

My tiny fiddle is growing but has developed some browning. Can anyone tell me what’s possibly happening? She was getting indirect light (roughly 12 feet from a southern facing window) throughout the day, but I’ve recently placed her under a grow lamp to provide more light. I only use rain or bottled water.

I got this Happy Bean plant about 2 weeks ago now. It’s been in plant “quarantine” with an east facing window. I went to look at it today to check in, and it’s been losing leaves. I’m not sure why. I didn’t see any pests (though she is quite dense at her base) and her moisture was average. These leaves were either laying there or fell with just touching the leaf. Any ideas?

My plants have many flies, is there something I can use to get them away?

Help! I noticed these little bugs moving on my Monkey Mask plant. Any ideas of what they could be? ( sorry if the photo is not great they are very small ) Thanks to all🙂

Most of the plants love it in here, but not the watermelon peperomia. The leaves won’t completely unfurl.
My humidity is 75% and my temp is 80 f. I’ve got plenty of light. Using meters to water it right.
Any leaves that look right were there before I got it.
Anybody have an idea?

What the heck is happening?! Last time I checked on this baby, it looked totally fine, went to water it today and almost all the middle leaves look squished and dented. This plant never moves unless I’m watering it, so the leaves aren’t damaged from being hit or knocked around.

My plant continues to grow but leafs don’t come out. I think I was overwatering but for the past couple of months have been managing it’s care through planta. I think it’s getting healthier but any tips, advice on how to help her heal faster?

This one is also suffering from cold exposure. Any advice? Planta says this is a heart leaf philodendron, I thought it was a pothos 😳

My office plants were exposed to extreme temperatures one weekend about two weeks ago. The arrowhead is still not recovered. Is there anything that I can do? I am posting pics from a month ago and now. 😟

My hibiscus continually suffers from aphids. After taking this picture I gave it a thorough shower and then sprayed all over with homemade insecticide (water + Castile soap) but wondering if anyone has suggestions for a more lasting treatment? My other hibiscus is less than a metre away and has no aphids. I previously treated this one with neem oil, but obviously it didn’t fully take.

Hi all, I just realized I overwatered my Sting of Pearls. Will simply letting the soil dry allow her to recover or do I need to do something else?
