I’ve never had an Alocasia before but hubby gave me one for Mother’s day. The soil seemed super wet when he gave it to me and so I thought I would let it dry out a bit before watering. It NEVER dried out. Instead the plant just fell over when I went to check on it I discovered it had root rot. I cleaned it up and put it in a prop jar but I have no idea what kind of care it needs or if it is salvageable as this is my first time dealing with this kind of plant. Any suggestions or thought on care are much appreciated!

My brother gave me his Vigoro Yucca Cane to try to save (he overwatered it) so I took off all the dead leaves and left it alone for about 3 weeks. The remaining leaves starting dying and the smaller trunk was squishy so I suspected it had root rot. I took it out the pot and rinsed the roots off. Do they look normal? The one with the new growth is the squishy trunk and the other one is the one with leaves. I also read that the new growth is a sign of the plant’s last ditch effort to save itself. Any advice on what I should do? (The roots were also basically taking over the pot and they ended up breaking through the inside pot. I’m not sure if that could’ve caused this?)

I cannot remember what flowers these are but they aren’t doing so well in my possession. Does anyone know what could be causing it and things I can do to get these babies to flourish again???

My ZZ plant was doing very good but I just noticed this on the tallest stem. Does anyone what this is and what it’s from? It doesn’t get much sun so could it be from that?

My lovely 3 year old Hoya Australis Lisa has succumbed to a fast spreading fungal or virus. The roots look good. The infection doesn’t show on the roots. The soil is mostly dry. It’s barely damp in the center. I tore apart the soil and found nothing. It went from healthy to dropping many leaves on less than a week. I tossed it. 😩

Why on earth does my Cupria Red Secret do this? She looks like she's trying to do a damn backflip and I'm not here for it. Is she getting too much light? she pushed out this big beautiful leaf and now is trying to do a back bend.

Why is my lavender plant wilting and leaves browning? Is this sign of under watering or overwatering? Can I still save this? It’s only been 2 weeks from nursery

Good evening fellow Plantanauts, I'm a bit concerned about this black stop on the top of my Spiky Palm Tree named Marty. Marty's been struggling to grow leaves for a while, but I'm worried this black is an indicator that Marty's given up growing leaves, or is crashing entirely. Any feedback would be helpful, Marty's been growing for over a year and some change now with no issues, I'd really hate to see him go.

I have this monstera Thai constellation. I had a tiara fall off the shelf and slice through her newest leaf. Is there any saving this guy?

So I’ve had this aloe plant for about 3 years and after I moved it began to get really skinny and lose leaves. I repotted it when it was big but now it’s a little small. Should I repot back in a smaller pot? Any suggestions on how to recover the plant? It still continues to grow new leaves but they die pretty quickly or stay thin and shrivel up. I water it about every 3 weeks.

The leaves of my pilea peperomioides have turned into a light green color recently and has white dots and I’m not sure what the problem is. The soil does stay wet for a while but it’s been growing in this pot since March and had not had a root rot problem. One of the leaves started getting this brown spot too. Is this a sign of overwatering? I’m thinking it might be root-bound too as it’s growing two plantlets too and had some roots poking out of the drainage hole. #help!!

Hi everyone! I bought this Calathea Dottie plant about a month ago, and within the first few days of bringing it home it immediately started to curl and wilt. I repotted it into a different pot and thought it might’ve been overwatered. Ever after repotting and being very careful about overwatering, pruning its dead leaves, only using distilled water, and fertilizing it I cannot get her back to life. Please help! I was so excited to have my first Calathea and she is STRUGGLING
