Hello, my lemon lime dracaena has these spots on 3 of its leaves but the rest of the plant looks fine, I’ve had this plant April 2022 and this is the first I’ve seen them… do I leave it or cut off the leaf up to the sits or cut the whole leaf off or what? Thanks!

Recently got this Giant Sequioa tree, it’s turned very yellow. Is this normal? If not; what am I doing wrong?

Hi Newish Plant Parents! There’s a great blog on the Sacred Elements website about pests, there are great pictures and they discuss the life cycles and how to treat them. 🪴Thought I’d share. 💜

I got this a few months ago and just in the past week it started to do this. I am sure I over watered it and definitely needs more light. My question is can I put this outside or will that kill it even more? Any tips would be appreciated!! :)

One of my favorite/longest/biggest plants is dying and I don't know what to do. I haven't change the care routine or the amount of sunlight that I give her. All her leaves are turning yellow. I did a much needed repot about three weeks ago, and she's in a drainage pot in a decorative pot, but all her leaves are turning yellow. I already cut about turn off yesterday but there's more appearing every day. I'm super sad and if anyone has any tips, it would be very appreciated

Looking for any suggestions to help bring this plant back. I'm not sure what kind of plant it is, as it was given to me a long time ago. I wasn't able to identify it with any apps.

So I am brand new to being a plant mum. I was recommended a Monstera at the store - but he’s developed 2 little crispy tipped leaves. Any ideas on how to cure this?

So, I’ve been trying to revive my parlor palm as it’s been a little sad lately and I’m not too sure why. It had a few brown stems and leaves, which I’ve trimmed off. I did go through a period of being bad with watering (which is why I got this app) so I assumed it was lack of water. I’ve kept an eye on it, moved it to my balcony door window (north facing) to try get it more light and only watered it when it’s starting to get dry at the top and bottom. However as you can see it’s still unhappy and deteriorating by the day. Is there anything else anyone can suggest?

Root rot????? Gave it to my sister. Left with too much water. How do I fix it?? Most of the roots are mushy and easily fall off. Treatments?? I was thinking of maybe propagating it and starting from scratch🥲

Hello! I am new to flower growing and planted snap dragons earlier this year. The flowers appear to be falling over and I am really lost of what the problem is. I have just moved the lights closer and am now growing them without the lid on, but need some tips or suggestions on how to fix them. Can they still thrive if I fix the problems soon enough? Any help is appreciated, thank you!!!

My momma has a fiddle-leaf fig in her house and she’s concerned about why it’s only growing at the bottom. It wasn’t always like this lol. There were leaves mostly at the top before, but now the leaves that were growing on the stems seemed to all dry out before growing. I tried looking it up but answers are pretty vague, just seeing if someone would have a better idea about why, or what next steps to take. The leaves are so thick, I can’t see whether cutting them would do anything. She’ll be out of town soon so we’re moving her plants to my condo so I can watch them. Would appreciate any and all insight, thanks!

😮‍💨 I have been struggling with understanding her proper care for almost two years now. It went from full and vibrant to misshapen and dull. After repotting it (TWICE) and cutting it back to nearly nothing, it’s now actively growing and and vibrant…but the LEAVES why are they not themselves? 🥲

Hi! It looks like there are deposits of yellow or grey fine dust on the tops of a bunch of the leaves of my fiddle leaf fig tree. It’s like a fine powder/mineral deposit and I’m able to wipe it off without much fuss using a gentle cloth and some misting. I do not see webbing or any other signs of potential pests, just whatever this substance is. I’m wondering if anyone knows what this could be/whether it is cause for concern (see pics)? Thanks!!

Can any plant doctors give me a second opinion? My corn plant has been developing these rusty spots in the center of its leaves, which grow and consume the leaf after a few weeks. This doesn’t look like underwatering to me, and the pattern is very specific… what should I do?
