Looking through my biology textbook Hey community, I was just looking through my biology textbook and found a chart that I wanted to share with you all. It shows the most common mineral deficiencies in plants. Hope this helps in the future ;) -PorkChop

I have a plant that is too far gone with mealybugs to save, but im not sure the correct way to dispose of a plant with bugs on it, any suggestions?

Should I prune this leaf? The other leaves are fine, but this one has crusty bits and is losing its dark green color.

What causes these spots? It’s driving me insane. No pests, and it’s only on two of the older leaves. New growth is not coming in with them.

I got this hanging plant around 6-7 months ago. It’s started to slowly turn yellow and loose its leaves. There are black nubs all over the plants nears the leaves and the stems are also starting to blacken. Should I repot? What else should be done to save her?!

Help! How can I revive this cypress? It doesn’t really like any lighting I give it, watering enough (every other time with plant food), and still can’t find a solution. It also does have drainage holes in the pot it’s in

I just got this aloe vera from a local plant shop. It has some brown spots should I be concerned? What actions should I take to improve the plants health

What is this bug I found in my philodendron? I recently brought it home from the nursery and it was root bound so I repotted it. Found these crawling around in the oil soil. Is this a pest? Should I be worried about my plant? Can I just toss em outside? (I’m in the PNW) Thanks so much for your help!!

HELP! What’s happening to my red aglaonema? Too big for the pot? Watering issue? I’m confused. It’s been doing great since day 1 then one of the branches fell out of nowhere as it was rotting so I repotted it but in a similar size pot. Not sure what to do next

Help! New plant owner here. Bought this fern about a week ago and she’s been downhill since I bought her. Gave her a big emergency water yesterday as the soil was bone dry (planta told me it was still 3 ish days until next water). What can I do to save her?

Hi! I adopted two snake plants from a friend after they moved states. When I got them they were in poor condition. They were over watered and in poor lighting and I’ve been trying to help recover them. It seemed that they were bouncing back after a few months (I’ve had them just under a year) but lately I’ve noticed that they just aren’t doing great. The leaves arent mush but they aren’t firm and plump. They have a wrinkling to them and I’m not sure if it’s under watering problems or over watering, or something else entirely. I water them once a month and they are in a south East facing solarium. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, so I’ve had this rubber plant for a couple of months now and it has done literally nothing. As it is in the picture is EXACTLY how it was when I got it. No new leaves have come out, the new leaf hasn’t unfurled anymore or grown and what looks like a new leaf bud also hasn’t changed at all. Is this normal? And if it isn’t, what shall I do? Cut off the new ones and hope it starts to regrow?

My Corn plant use to have a beautiful green stem - I still can’t figure out why it’s now brown? Is there anyway to fix or help out my plant? :(

went through a rough patch mentally and neglected all my plants. luckily only one died, but I have a few in need of help! Golden pothos (have had for seven years): very little and leggy growth, dropping/yellowing leaves that are curling up. Fairy washboard: purple brown discoloration, new growth. Any help super appreciated!!

Is this a pest issue? I bought this plant about a week and a half ago and just watered for the first time yesterday. I woke up this morning to find another leaf turning like this

I bought a big ZZ plant about 3 weeks ago, repotted it because it was busting out of the pot (literally - it was split), and watered it. I added the grow light two weeks later, because it’s a dark corner. The soil has stayed quite wet and the smaller stalks are losing their leaves. I’m not sure if it’s transplant shock or something worse. Any advice? I’m just leaving it to dry out for now.
