My money tree looks like the leaves are burning? Maybe? Idk. I’m very new to plant ownership. I got this beauty at the store, repotted a few weeks ago. Been doing good. But noticed this last week. I also haven’t used any fertilizer yet and feel like that might be part of the problem? Or to much light?
Can anyone help?

I recently repotted my pothos and I believe it’s going through transplant shock. I’ve pruned all yellow or dying leaves and watered 5 days ago when I repotted it. Soil is dry now, should I water it again? Or while that make things worse?

Hi, hope everyone is good!
Any advice on whats going on with my monstera? There are no pests in sight.
Are the brown areas down to underwatering?
Thanks!

Should I report this plant and change its soil? When I looked it up it said it’s saprophytic fungi, and it’s not harmful, but this seems like it’s a lot.

Not the best photo. But what would cause my anthuriums leaves to be turning like this all of a sudden? It’s in a self watering pot and in a greenhouse

So I’ve had my ripple jade since December 2023. For the first 8 or so months that I had it, I lived high up in an apartment with west-facing windows and kept it right on my windowsill. Then I moved to a place with north-facing windows that gets a mix of shade and indirect light. My plant was this size when I got it (4-5 inches tall) and has not grown at ALL in two years. It puts out new leaves all the time and hasn’t behaved any differently in the different light conditions. I know ripple jades get way bigger than this, so what’s going on? Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hello All- I’m trying
to determine what pest would be causing the stems in this Fig Tree to “shred”, especially near new growth shoots and leaves. I’ve treated it systemically recently and also using an all natural spray. I e also cut some of the branches that seem to be dead to see if that may help. Noticed this about 3-4 months ago. Any idea would be appreciated. Pic is a bit blurry but I think it still shows the damage. Thanks !

What is going on here? This is on my Scindapsus exotica. My immediate thought is root rot due to soil staying wet for too long. I only watered it when completely dry, but it was in a plastic outer decorative pot- maybe that kept the soil wet for too long? Is that possible?

Why is my spider plant turning kinda blue? The baby on the left is it the color that it’s supposed to be and was taken off the mother plant a couple weeks ago. It’s all normally that vibrant green color so I am confused

I have these in all my plants and I’m realizing that they are more obvious around my house with the more plants I invest in. What are things that have worked for you guys to combat this/ get rid of the gnat problem? Thanks for advice.

I’m so upset about this!
This is Zeus, my Alocasia. He’s new to the family but he’s sick? I removed him from his pot, removed root rot & have him all new soil with extra perlite & gave a light watering.
Came home today and 3 of his leaves are super droopy now :(
I know they don’t love having their roots messed with but I figured it was better than making him soak in an old soil that wasn’t draining right.
Any tips or tricks? Has anyone had this happen to their alocasia?

Help! I bought a croton a about a week ago and finally went to repot it. The root balls are teeny! My smallest pots are much bigger than these roots. Any suggestions?

Does anyone else live in NJ and have a palm plant that’s not handling well our drastic change in weather? Mine has drastically formed yellow leaves within the last couple weeks.
But I’m also trying to determine if it needs a repot or something else, and maybe not weather related. I don’t see any pests.

Hey everyone 👋 My once gorgeous (like as of last month!) Croton Petra went from thriving to un-aliving 🥴😭 pretty sure that cold snap in February really traumatized her. So, what’s my next move? It’s a pretty mature plant and I honestly don’t even know where to begin! Repot with fresh soil? Chop and prop? But… how?! Pls help, any advice is appreciated! 🪴

Hi all! I noticed this white fuzzy stuff in the soil of my monkeys mask plant. I watered a couple days ago. Is it mold? Do I have to repot? Sorry, first time plant owner here!

Have you tried a complete chop back to get rid of spider mites, and if so, was it successful?
I’ve had this dieffenbachia cool beauty since December 2024… she always has spider mites. Almost every time I water her I see signs of them. I wipe her down with alcohol wipes every time. I’ve also introduced predatory mites.
The first time I found them I treated & bagged her for days. Last summer I repotted her, & left her outside, but they reappeared after I brought her in.
I’ve almost tossed this plant a few times. I hate to kill a plant, but I can’t abide chronic pests.
