Hi there. My wife and I bought this gardenia recently. When we first brought it home, it was very perky, full, and green with small buds growing. However, over the past two months it has slowly been wilting and yellowing. It also had a few bugs on it. Here are a few things we've tried, but no luck: -We've repotted it (three weeks ago, the roots seemed fine) -When we repotted it, we changed the soil (the previous seemed to just allow water to drain really quickly.) -We used peppermint spray to kill the pests (we've not seen any for a couple weeks) -We've moved it around our living room to give it different levels of light (our windows face are south facing) Nothing we've done seems to help it. Willing to try anything!

Help! It may have been a radical move, but I cut this right under the diseased pepper. I lost a bunch of buds. This is the second pepper that ended up this way. Can anyone help me understand why? And is there something I can do with this pepper?

My echeveria succulent that I was gifted 3 weeks ago (when it was flat and normal looking) is now stretching and growing taller. This window gets the most light in my place, although it seems to be not enough. Any suggestions?

My spider plant is not and has not been doing well, I’m not really sure why though, I’ve tried adjusting what I initially thought was wrong but it’s still having issues, I recently found all of its leaves completely drooped, like they couldn’t hold themselves up anymore, is this under watering? Overwatering? Or something completely different? It also has had the tips of its leaves turning brown since I got it a couple months ago

do we think this is over watering under watering or too much sun? or maybe a fun mix? lmk

I was wondering if anyone else gets this on there plants and if so what to do x

Looking for some advice with this ficus. I relocated the plant ~10 months ago, and it freaked out and lost quite a lot of leaves. It’s completely stable now, but it hasn’t grown ANY new leaves since. I have also noticed that the leaves it kept are now slowly developing yellow patches. I use well draining soil (rocks, pumice, perlite) and water every ~5 days. Plant also is near a window and has a grow light 2 feet away for the winter months. I have another ficus that has the same specifications and has been growing fine. Any advice on what could be going on here would be appreciated!

Hi friends! Have a problem. I adopted 4 plants from a friend who is moving yesterday. I stupidly did not inspect the one that looked a little wonky, and drove with them in the car together for about six hours. I got home and it was late, but kept the four new buddies separate from all my other plants (by probably 20 feet) til I could inspect closer this AM. OF COURSEEEEE, the one that looked wonky had a couple thrips (a philo). A couple means probably so many more. I’m too scared to try and treat it (I live in an NYC apartment so space is limited for quarantine) so into the trash it went. My question now is, what do I do with the other three? I have ordered more systemic granules and sprayed with neem oil preventatively. They look fine and healthy, but I know better than that. My friend said the one that was infected was always separate from the others anyway, but I’m really worried about that car ride. I honestly have never had a lot of pests with my house plans before so please any and all advice is welcome! If I have to throw these three out so be it. They are a bird of paradise, fiddle leaf, and draecona if that helps. Big babes. HAAALLPPPP 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Hoping someone can help! My Fig has been doing okay since I brought it home a few months ago. But as of about 2 weeks ago, it's starting to turn its bottom leafs yellow and eventually fall off! First one, now two with a possible third starting to go! I've repotted it twice and checked out the roots.. all of which are fine and soil was clear can't see any pests. Anyone have any other ideas?

I imported a Philo patriciae and some anthuriums. I know anthuriums do well since they have chunky roots but my patriciae did not look too hot. - I cut almost all of the roots off from dry rot. The ones left are brown outside but all tan inside. - The leaves got some cosmetic damage from shipment but are still useful. (I checked for pests, I don’t think that’s what the yellowing is from) I currently have it in a glass vase with Leca and stratum (water filled below root line). I usually do perlite and stratum for rehab anthuriums but didn’t have any on hand. 1. I’m not sure if I should just chop it up between nodes and treat it like multiple propagations or leave it in its current state or do something else. I have a cabinet greenhouse but I’m hesitant to use that since it should be quarantined …but it’s too big to fit in my quarantine greenhouse. I think it’s also too big to put in a box or clear bag :/ Any advice is appreciated!

I got this Pilea about a month or so ago and it was fine for the first week or so but has been dropping a lot of leaves recently. They turn yellow then get these black marks on them. I water according to the app and when soil is dry and also added a grow light but would love any advice!

I have a beautiful pin strip calathea that I got a few weeks ago. It seems very healthy, but the new leaves are paler green compared to the leaves it came with to. Do you think it needs more sun? Is that normal or is there anything else I should do for it?

Help please! I got her of the clearance section at Lowe’s for 4 dollars!!! So I had to try to bring her back! Some of her leaves were REALLY BAD like holes everywhere. So shower and hydrogen peroxide as well as neem oil and plant food. What else can I do and is this really an imperial red? I’m not really sure it would be my first. She’s got a tiny baby leave growing already but idk if she’s supposed to grow this way! Any advice is welcomed!!! Thanks!

I noticed these little white bugs on the plant. I repotted them about two weeks ago, new soil and nutrients. Not sure what they are and how to get rid of them.
