The tips of my alocasia are yellowing. Is this due to too much light exposure? My silver dragon leaves are also starting to curl upwards, they were flat when I got it. Is that an issue? Most of the things I’ve read talk about the plants drooping or curling downwards. Any tips?

I bought this Syngonium ‘wendlandii’ last week off of Facebook Marketplace and as you kinda see, she looks sad. It had been a while since she was watered and her pot was riddled with dead plant material. I watered it and used neem oil to ward off any bugs that may have come with it. I also added a bit of fertilizer in the water. Every four-ish days, I mist her down because she is a very dry area. Is there anything I can do to make her healthier? Or are they picky like calathea’s and are drama queens?

If the leaves of this tradescantia are drying up yet some of the leaves are hanging low what should I do?

Hi! I recently got rid of spider mites on this poor boy. I also noticed he hadn’t been repotted so I did that. He seemed to be getting better but then all of a sudden his leaves started to turn yellow then eventually brown. Do you think this is over watering or not enough sun?

A question I have a geranium that needs to be cut back by 1/3 I’m planning on maybe putting it into two or three separate plants I was wondering if a 6 inch pot would work or is it too small? This is my first time ever doing it so this why I was asking to see what others has done

Help! Not sure what this is or what to do. It looks like eggs? It’s all over the top of the soil but so much in the stake hole.

Hello. I am fairly new to this plant life and I love it. I am concerned about my bird of paradise plant and would love some feedback if possible. There are these spots on it and I don’t know what to do to fix it or if it’s even able.

This little one is struggling and I am not sure why she was off the clearance rack and was a tad poorly but she seemed to get better and now is regressing again. I have her on a windowsill which is north facing so never gets a lot of sun, the light meter said this was the perfect part sun and shade place. Can anyone help me!

Hey! I got this plant as a gift a few days ago. I’m pretty new to plants but I think this is a philodendron birkin. It looks like it is growing a new leaf, but the leaf looks kinda pink? I wasn’t sure if this was normal or maybe some kind of problem?

Hi! Our two girls here have been battling mealy bugs for about 3 weeks. We sprayed neem and they still didn’t go away. Then we took cotton swabs and individually took them off then washed all there vines. The bugs are officially gone but ever since they have been looking so sickly. I’m worried about them both. The first is a string of dolphins and the second is a string of banana. I need to know if there are ways I can help them to become healthy again or if they’re a lost cause at this point 😭😭😭😭😭
