Ordered this plant off Etsy. It’s a Raven ZZ, was doing amazing for a week. I didn’t repot it and placed in a bright spot with indirect sun. Two days ago I noticed it wilting as if thirsty, I felt the soil and it was bone dry so I gave her a good thorough watering. Today, she is curling and browning on her prettiest black leaves. I see no signs of pests, any advice? The humidity is 40% in my home, there’s a possibility it got a tiny bit of sunlight on the leaves but not much

Does anyone know what’s going on with my ficus rubber tree? I have suspicions that my roommate is watering and potentially fertilizing my plants despite having been asked not to touch them. I’m an experienced gardener and I’ve done a bunch of research trying to solve this issue. Despite research, careful, care, and experience the fact that I’m dealing with these issues is confusing.

I bought this “Polka dot” plant and I’m not sure why it’s dying. I had inside and she didn’t like the move so I put her outside after a week. Not sure why she’s not thriving. Anyone?

Does anyone know if these darker brown areas on my aloe are anything to be concerned about?

I just recently went on an extended vacation and left my plants in the care of my partner. I had just gotten my first ever begonia(Rex). It unfortunately didn’t make it until my return. I have many houseplant but I’ve just recently started to become interested in begonias and would like to replace my Rex and get more varieties. Any care advice? Google just gives the same answer for every kind of plant.

Hi! This is my crocodile fern. It’s been 7 months since I’ve had it in my care and the picture with my cat in it is what it used to look like. It was treated poorly outside of my care for a couple of months and I’m really just wondering what I can do for it. I’ve kept the droopy leaf propped up but I’m also thinking that the soil is too low. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Does anybody have any advice for repotting House plants for the purpose of insect control . I tried neem oil, and fly traps first but it did not help. I am going to sprinkle in this house plant and set control too when I repot

My saga Palm is yellowing and I’ve read that it may be due to manganese sulfate deficiency in my soil, but reaching out to see if anyone else has used it and results?

I got this ripple jade a few days ago, and this is my first plant so I’m really wanting it to not die immediately! I’m not sure what could be causing that black spot (fungus or mold?), the brown spots, or the shriveled dead leaves. It gets full sunlight and I’ve only watered it once when I first got it 4 days ago. Anyone have any ideas?

My flamingo flower was doing really well...until I noticed this leaf. Any idea what is happening?? I've noticed some of the other leaves are yellow on the tips, does this mean I'm over-watering?

Hi, I have two boston ferns indoor in a pot. They are not doing great. I have kept them next to windows, one in bathroom (get some of the winter sun in there) and other in kitchen (no direct sun there). The leaves are drying, bit crispy. I know since its winter here so not expecting much of new growth but would like them to be healthy. Please advise what can I do to revive them.

What is this? Found it in my cover pot, it was rolled up in a spiral. Is it bad for my plants?

Having a situation with my cylindrical snake plant. I’ve researched online and have not come up with an answer of what is going on. On this plant I find droplets on a couple leaves now and then. I know many plants drip water but never heard of a snake plant doing it. Plus the drops are sticky. It’s not from a plant above, I can not find any pests.

So I recently repotted this baby from its mother philodendron birkin. It seems to be healthy so far, but the first new leaf it’s grown has brown on the bottom side of the leaf. It’s almost like the brown is a birth mark as it grew in with this mark. It didn’t develop it due to watering conditions. rest of the plant is very healthy. Does anyone know what this could be from? Is it a health issue ? I thought maybe lighting but it is in medium light, just like its mother plant.
