My sister gave me her avocado tree, and it was sitting in a car for about three hours, so it’s a little sad right now. I gave it new soil with perlite, Coco coir, and mixed in some warm castings and growth hormone, and I have it placed inside near a window for now. Do we think it’ll bounce back?

My alocasia has these white strips all over its leaves. Not sure if it’s a water issue, not enough sun, or fungal issue. Thoughts?

I just purchased this rubber plant about three weeks ago and it seems to be doing really well. New shoots, and new leaves constantly popping out. However, some of the leaves are turning brown on the tips almost like a sunburn. I have moved it as far away from the window as I possibly can, but they’re still spreading. Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?

Noticed this on my wax plant and is now getting worse. Repotted about 3 weeks ago because it was ready for more space. Are they bugs or mold? Or something else? I have it quarantined regardless, just want to know what it is so I can start treating.
Help!!!

Is my rubber plant overwatered? I watered it 9 days ago and hadn’t watered it for a few weeks before that. Now the bottom two leaves are turning colors. The top 2 inches of the soil are dry but the soil around the drainage holes feels damp.
Some sort of worm..
Worm in plant! What to do?
I’m a new plant owner and I believe I was over watering this plant for a bit but have since stopped. How can I remove the worm?

I got two of these plants recently and one of the plants leaves has turned yellow. The care is the same for both and the other seems to be fine except I’m noticing similar spots on the other leaves now.

I recently repotted my Monstera plant and the leaves are drooping. I’m not sure if it’s going to die or not and I’m not sure what to do.
Hoping someone can help!

Help! Two of my plants are going through similar problems. My mint is yellowing at the tips then turning brown shortly after (falling off while mostly yellow). This has happened twice now, once with a potted pretty large mint, which I took a good cutting from then propagated trying to same any of it. The mother plant died but the propagation has stayed strong. Until now, when its beginning to do the same thing. It has full light and is still in water? I've never had issues with mint before so a bit confused. The second plant is a small Monstera, it's in a mixed tropical soil from a friend and a terracotta pot, watered on schedule and partial light but I just keep getting yellowed leaves. Pictured are the second and third leaves I've had that have gone completely yellow with no explanation.... anyone have a clue?

I’ve just inherited this raven zz plant and when I got it home I noticed that (as well as needing some serious cleaning) a couple of the top leaves have been broken off. Will this hinder any further growth? What steps might I need to take to give it the best chance of growing healthily?
Thanks!

Help! I am trying to save a dear friend’s Christmas Cactus, Anna Barbara! She was severely under watered. I have Anna Barbara in my home to save her. I have had her for about a month and I am not seeing any change.
I have put her on a proper schedule. Repotted with proper soil.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

help! what is this white “fuzz” stuff on my pothos and how on earth do i get it off? at first i thought it was spider mites so i treated the plant for them, but there were no sign of spider mites other than the webbing. Then i thought it was some type of fungus, and i sprayed the plant routinely with diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide. Since that didn’t work i sprayed with undiluted hydrogen peroxide and it still didn’t go away. So then i decided to go completely soilless because i thought there might be something in the soil, but after i blasted the pothos with water, sprayed with HP and the let it grow in water for two weeks, it STILL appeared. The strange thing is that the plant doesn’t seem to be harmed, but i don’t know how safe the webbing is for humans and tbh it looks very very ugly…

Can anyone help me with my Meyer Lemon? It is in a SE location. I’m in Southern Arizona, nights have gotten down to 37 and days are 60-75. I don’t know if I should bring it inside? I’ve been following Planta as far as watering and fertilizing.

Found Mealy bugs on my chinese evergreen’s newest leaf. I have quarantined her and sprayed leaves down with a neem oil, rubbing alcohol, water mixture. I very thoroughly cleaned the entire plant the day i found them and I think i got almost all of them off. it’s been two days and i haven’t seen more, but is there anything else I need to do besides continue to clean the leaves regularly?

Does anyone know what's wrong with my ivy? Some of her leaves are browning and then they fall off.

Hi does anyone know what is wrong with my Boston fern

My false aralia used to look like this. Pretty good. Now its leaves have turned a dark greenish brown and are crunchy. The soil was bone dry so I watered it but it isn’t getting better. I used to have it in bright sun but I heard that’s not good. So now it’s in shade with some sun. What’s wrong?

Overwatering or under watering? I would guess overwatering but the other leaves are not dropping at all, quite the opposite, still very springy and full! There are only about 3 leaves that are yellowing. Also, the one leave that has a brown edge does not feel crispy.. it’s still flexible. It is papery and slightly curling inward but just wanted to ask yall what you think! Haven’t looked at the roots yet but that’s my next step depending on what you guys think.
