This is a last ditch effort but my prayer plant was doing well up until 3ish weeks ago and has gradually gotten worse :(. My mom and I thought it could be a pest so I did try neem oil (I previously had troubles when I first got the plant from my mom and the neem oil took care of it). However this time the neem oil almost seemed to make it so much worse. Not sure if there's even anything I can do at this point, or even what the problem is. I water it when my water meter says it's dry but I'm worried that it's maybe somehow overwatered still, because that did happen to another plant of mine. Any advice would be appreciated, or if any of you think I should just cut my losses and toss him out, I can take it. Some extra info: this photo was taken Dec. 12th and it had been recently watered (I believe it was last Wednesday 12.3 or Thursday 12.4).

‼️Fair warning ‼️ Even when you think the plastic pots you have purchased have enough drainage…. Think again! Always add more or make the existing ones larger. 🥴 Root rot, send positive vibes for Adam to survive.

Hi guys, I started a mini greenhouse about 2-3 months ago however I feel like the plants that I keep in here have had stagnant growth and if they do shoot out leaves, they turn black. My water propagations turn out great though. I’m thinking it’s the soil moisture, but I’m not sure. (You may not be able to tell but the baby shoot kinda gave up on me on the last photo)

Hi everyone! I’m a total plant newbie and I’ve just rescued a spider plant from the supermarket. The poor thing looked like it had seen some things… definitely not their finest display plant. 😅 I picked it up anyway because I’m building my little plant collection one slightly traumatised supermarket plant at a time. Any tips on how to care for it, revive it, or stop it from judging me would be massively appreciated! 🌿🕷️💚

Hello all, I am in need of assistance with my tradescantia nanouk. I've had her for about 2 years now and she used to be in my kitchen as it's the only place that gets a lot of light but no way of getting her the right humidity that she needs. I have moved her into my room now she have a consistent humidity but less sun. The leaves brown and get flakey, she is very leggy and very sparse. Please help me save Lady! She was a birthday present from my mom and I love her dearly! 😭

I was gifted a poinsettia for Christmas and it is not doing so well. It has droopy yellowing leaves and is not pushing out new growth. I water it when the top inch of soil is dry and it is in a moderately sunny spot. Any advice?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice with my Peace Lily. I’m a complete newbie to plant keeping, and I’m slowly building up my collection. I currently have a snake plant, a yucca plant, a mini Swiss cheese plant, and three anthuriums. Most of them seem to be doing fine, but my Peace Lily has me a bit confused. I recently gave it a dose of liquid fertiliser as recommended by my local garden centre, but shortly afterwards the plant started to droop quite a lot. Since then, I’ve rinsed the roots thoroughly with dechlorinated water and repotted it into fresh soil. I placed it near a window for about a week and have only watered it lightly. What’s strange is that I have another Peace Lily thriving with its roots sitting in the sump of my aquarium, so I’m not sure why this one is struggling. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated! Thanks 😊

Hi all! This a snake plant my friend has and she just noticed this, is it thrips? And do we think the plant can be saved

Hello everyone! Can someone tell me what is eating my Elephant Ear? Some of the leaves have chunks eaten off as shown in the picture. Thank you so much in advance.

My purple passion looks more green than purple, and some leaves are pruning up. I’m not sure what’s up with it. I repotted about a month ago to a smaller pot because the pot was way too big. It was very healthy a year ago, I’m thinking old age lol

There has been far too many post on tik tok about spider mites! I literally just cleaned all 62 plants tonight because NOPE 😭

There are a bunch of tiny bugs on the bottom of my Rattlesnake Calathea. I assume they’re not thrips since they’re not on the leaves… Are these just fungus gnats that haven’t reached maturity?? I did the hydrogen peroxide treatment on the plant just in case.

I’m trying to repot my root-bound scindapsus since it started yellowing all over. When I re-pot, do I need to untangle all of the roots? Or just put in a larger pot with fresh soil? I’ve been trying by spraying and soaking but it’s not really working.

Got busy for a few weeks and suddenly I have flat mites on my aglaonema, broad mites on my kalanchoe, and spider mites on my colocasia. 🤦

Hey so I’ve had this plant since I think last Christmas (I’m not sure when exactly) and it’s a crinkle leafy succulent and I followed instructions online on how to take care of it but it’s quite literally shriveling up….I’m not sure how to help him because I’ve been watering him when he needs and he should be getting the correct amount of sunlight..he was growing a separate plant for awhile that got really long and healthy but my mom according pulled it off. So please please please help him I’m so lost at what I should do. I’ve never really had problems with my plants so I’m just really confused 😖

Bird of paradise problems. Does anyone know how I can help her? We brought her in for the winter. She was not looking great already but now looks worse. Leaves look brown and crispy at the edges. We follow the Planta suggestions for care.

I got this girl from a beautiful nursery a couple of weeks ago. She was nice and green. I did not repot her and despite trying limiting water, etc. she is turning on me. She is small and just has two leaves. Should I just cut her back and give her time to try to regrow? The roots look perfect. She is in what appears to be seedling starter and orchid bark from the nursery.

Can anyone tell me what this white fluffy stuff on the top of my soil is? And if it’s more than a cosmetic issue, what should I do?
