I just took over taking care of this snake plant. I’ve been doing some research about why it is so droopy but I’m not sure if it’s because of overwatering or not enough sun? Any advice?

Moved house and I put this plant in a a conservatory room and it quickly looked like it died on the sunny side so moved it into a cooler and shadowy room 🪴 and went a bit better for a while and now more leaves are dying 🙈 Any help would be much appreciated 😊

I got a cutting of a prayer plant and I’ve had it in water for about a month. It rooted and has a new leaf growing. I noticed that the leaves started tucking in. I repotted it today and put a grow light but then I read the tucking in might be because too much light. I had the cutting next to my aerogarden so maybe the light was too bright? I took the grow light off and put it in a south facing window. What do you guys think? Will indirect light help it?

My corn plant is getting these spots. Any recommendations? Should I cut the leave off? Should I re-pot it the plant?. I thought that maybe these spots came about because of me watering in the center. It’s a lovely plant. Please help. Thanks!

I have a meelybug infestation that I'm battling. The problem that I'm having is that from having to wipe down the leaves of my monstera adansonii, they are getting damaged. The leaves are splitting and falling off. The same with one of my bird of paradise. All the leaves have tears in them. Any options to protect the leaves? It's causing me some distress.

I just received this Variegated Hoya Compacta in the mail a few days ago. I have been searching online to identify these spots…Unfortunately I have not found much. Does anyone know what this is?

Hello is it normal for string of turtles to lose these little “antennas” I’ve had it since May and it’s never dropped of them so I just want to make sure I’m not the one causing it. Everything has stayed the same I got it watering, location and temp of the room it’s in it gets the same amount of light since it hasn’t been moved.

I am unsure as to what is wrong with my Alocasia Amazonica, over the past few weeks i have noticed this dry crispy spot, figured the leaf might just be getting old and the plant will shoot out a new one

I think I’m losing one lol. I’ve had it under the grow lights, I’ve had it outside in the sun. I e made sure it’s not sitting in water. Can it be saved? Is it too far gone?

I have a fungus gnat (I think) infestation and I canNOT get rid of them. For the past 1.5 months I’ve been religiously changing sticky traps in each pot, watering with hydrogen peroxide and ensuring the soil dries out completely between watering. Please help! I feel like the only thing left to do is throw all my indoor plants away which I don’t want to do!!

Y’all. I finally lost it with these mealie bugs. I took a Clorox wipe to the entire plant (dracaena). Would I recommend it as a first step… No? Was it effective… Absolutely. 😳

Hi! I’m worried about some portions of my turtle vine. A lot of stems are weak and squishy, and some leaves are shriveling as well. Is this due to over/under-watering or is it sun-related? Thank you!

What is going on with my Bush on Fire? His sister all of a sudden died and today he took a big turn for the worse after slowly losing leaves.

okay so sadly this beautiful plant is getting dead leaves at the base and they are falling off. nothing else looks wrong with the plant. a bit has snapped of though so I put it in the propagation pot and hopefully it will drown some roots? any tips on how to tell why this plant is suffering and how to save it!
