Hey everyone! I bought this elephant ear at Home Depot probably about 6+ months ago. I started it off inside, but it seemed to be shrinking. New leaves keep coming out but smaller and smaller. I moved it to my front porch area because I thought it may need more light. Still it has consistently been putting out smaller and smaller leaves. I have it in the original pot from Home Depot with the original soil. I simply laid the pot inside of a larger one. The larger one does not have drainage holes. In its current position it is likely collecting rain as well. Anyone have thoughts or recommendations to rehab this guy and get it growing big healthy leaves? I envisioned it adding a jungle like canopy look to my collection, but this current tight spread and shrinking pattern has me worried. P.S. I only started logging care in this app very recently. Thank you!

So i had originally got this as a freebie from a guy who does a lot of hybridizing. And a bunch of people had said it looks dead, and on its way out and to just trash it. But I just kept watering and random fertilizer. And it turnt up for the season!! So happy I just kept going. Original pic in the plant listing.

Any help would be so appreciated! I repotted about a month ago and it started out well but has since been drooping. I’ve watered pretty well with my water meter. Thx!

Whats wrong with my rubber tree? I repotted thinking root bound 2 weeks ago, I did water it thoroughly but know the soil is completely dry (checked Tuesday worrying about root rot). It hasn’t produced a new leaf in 2-3 months and now the top leaves are getting soft with a weird texture. And advice on how to save it? I just pulled off the bottom two yellow leaves but it’s lost 5 the past month from yellowing.

Hey if there’s anyone who knows about growing strawberries indoors, there is a slight yellowing of my plants leaves. I have her under a full spectrum grow light for 12 hours, water her when her top soil gets dry, and feed her a 5-5-5 all purpose plant food. I know strawberry leaves should be a bit more vibrant than this, should I be concerned? She’s also a very young plant that I repotted from her little plastic home about a week ago. She in an 8 inch plastic pot with a general indoor potting mix mixed with vermiculite and perlite for watering help. Anything I can do?

Can anyone help me identify these bugs I found when watering my Rose of Sharon? I think they can up from the soil. They are marching like ants but they definitely are not ants. These are the best shots I could get of them (a dozen or so). I am all for the beneficial bugs but something tells me these aren’t those. 😡 TIA

Does anyone know what this leaf plant is. I found it growing in my pepper pods right before transplant. Don't know if it's a fruit bearing plant or just a weed.

So I transplanted these purple hearts couple weeks ago into this metal trough, accidentally overwatered figured the water would soak in just fine and it would be great because it’s been over 100 here, but they sat in water for two days. I finally drilled drainage holes. But between the rabbits and the overwatering my plants look like this anyway to make him come back or do I just pull them out and start all over

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong with my kalanchoe? I've had several die this way. First they start dropping healthy-looking leaves for no apparent reason, then they start to discolor and die from the top down. Pictured is the worst stem; there are two more that look like they may survive if i can just figure out how to help them

Anyone know what has happened to my aloe plant. This has been about a year and a half difference. I’m trying to hold on because it still grows new leaves but they grow skinny and die.

I poured water into my clematis on Thursday and the water still hasn’t drained into the soil since I rechecked today. I believe I purchased draining holes pots , I’m really trying to avoid repotting . Can someone please help me?

This was my first plant I got. It’s called a peach ripple wind hibiscus. At first it started off good but then I neglected it a bit and had it inside because of the cold temps. Eventually I put it back outside where it got full sun and rain+watered it sometimes. A few days ago I watered it with miracle gro water soluble all purpose plant food. I’m not sure if I can bring this plant back? Or is it completely dead? I’m a beginner so allot of the plants I have aren’t looking too great 😅
