My goldfish plant is steadily going downhill. It kept dropping leaves. I just repotted it hoping I can provide better soil and drainage. The leaves have tiny divots and I don’t know what’s causing it. I see no signs of pests other than the divots. Does anyone know what’s causing this? Thanks.
Help, I don’t know what to do anymore! I repotted her a few weeks ago as the soil was very hard and she was much too big for the pot, yet never growing. I am trying Molly’s Aroid Mix for the first time as I’ve heard everyone raving about it. Since then, her stems will droop significantly after almost one week without being watering. Once watered, she perks up immediately and is stiff and strong for almost another full week until the cycle starts over. Now, her leaves are dying off and drying out like crazy, and she still hasn’t grown a single new shoot/leaf. I’m probably overwatering it slightly since it seems to want water so often, but it seems like nothing is helping the issue. Is this not the right soil? This plant has not grown a single new leaf since I’ve bought it; I’ve not encountered this issue with any of my plants before. Thanks in advance for any insight!
Does anyone know what to do? My weeping fig went about two weeks without watering, and all the leaves shriveled up and fell off. I’ve been keeping an eye on it for about 2 months now and the roots are healthy but no leaves are growing? Is it beyond saving?
Hey y’all! I recently got this English Lavender plant from a local plant sale. It was happy when I got it but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I can tell it’s dying but it’s not fully there yet so I’m hoping there’s still some way to save it? I know they have dormancy periods but it seems way too early for that. Still, I’ve pulled it in just in case it’s still a bit too cold for it. Additionally, I know they do better in the ground but I don’t have that as an option at the moment. Any advice for reviving it and helping it stay healthy in a pot? Thanks!
Please help my caladium keeps having this happen to its leaves and idk why, I watered it more then a week ago , this isn’t appearing on new growth either as far as I can see but some of the biggest leaves have this is it overwatered root rot ??
I have this little shelf setup for some of my smaller plants and propagation pieces, and i haven’t had any problems with bugs prior to this week but now i have a little colony of fruit flies, what would be the easiest way to get rid of em and keep them from coming back? (Also the light is further away than it looks in this photo) Im not sure which plant started the problem either, i saw one fruit fly 2 days ago and i checked them all and couldn’t find anything, now i can count like 7. Maybe it’s just too much moisture in a small area? I also don’t keep any food or anything around them, I’ve removed any dead leaves and made sure theres no sitting dirty water.
Hi all just wondering what could possibly be going on with my philodendron Imperials leaves. It’s in a well draining soil and gets plenty of indirect bright light. Is this normal or should I be looking into a fungicide
Found these guys on my prayer plant and money plant. They were separated by more than a foot. I believe it is white fly. Could only see them with my magnifying glass mag light. I think it is white fly. I found a larvae as well. Had to post this here to here other peoples thoughts.
Does this pot look too big??
I’ve been keeping this cherry tomato plant in a covered metal shelf unit propagator but this is how it looks any ideas where I’ve gone wrong here?
Is my plant dead?
My alocasia has dusty and dry tips, does anyone know what’s wrong?
Can anyone give me some tips on saving orchids? I recently rescued an abandoned orchid from a closing shop and am not sure if it’s healthy or not. It was potted in sphagnum moss, but the moss seems a weird texture so I thought I would repot it in bark.
I have this straw flower indoors, under a grow light - anyone know what is happening here?
Hi!! I was wondering what this white stuff is in my air plant? I’d this a problem? I just finished watering her and I’d like too now what this is. Any help is taken!!! Thx!
Is my Raven ZZ sunburnt or is this root rot? I forgot to check on it the last week after intense heat 😬 Should I check out the roots and risk more shock or let the plant be? History: plant arrived in mail with no dirt and I immediately potted it into soil (rookie mistake I know) and watered it a little. This was around April 27th. Leaves started dropping after 2 weeks so I bottom water it completely. The soil is still wet today which is concerning. I waited another week before putting it under a grow light for 12 hours a day. Then I left it for about a week. The stems changing colour like this happened in the last week. They were not like this earlier. However, the leaves that were originally dropping came from the hurt stems.
Hi all, My fiddle leaf fig is pushing out a new leaf that’s entirely covered in red spots. This has never happened before and the rest of the plant looks very healthy. No signs of infestations and the plant hasn’t been repotted or moved in a while. Any idea?
Noticed this scary growth in the soil of my spider plant it’s been though a lot has a history of gnats and needing to be left to dry out. So scared this is some sort of pest getting ready to hatch though…. Help
What do I do about this plant? The top leaves are coming in brightly but the bottom leaves are very dull and it's extremely leggy. I have it in a north facing window but I'm worried that it may not be getting enough light. Should I cut the tops off and try to propagate them to get a bushier plant? Thanks in advance.
Should I cut the yellow leaf now or when it completely dies?
