Noticed this yellow orange stuff on my cactus today. Any idea what it is or how I could help?

Hello! I have what i belive to be a sunny star croton. It was very beautiful and full of leaves up until several weeks ago when it got really dehydrated. I water it and have made sure it's not gotten that dry since but instead of rebounding back like usual, it lost all of it's leaves and is struggling. Any suggestions on how to save it? Or is it toast?

Hi everyone! I think it's time to ask for some advice and care tips for this violet here. I got her from clearance at the grocery store, with some mold at the base. Later she was damaged by a growlight falling on her. Then she developed mold again. I repotted her into new soil and gave the roots a soak in diluted h2o2 solution to combat the mold (That was about 2 months ago). Since then she was very unhappy and drooping, the way violets usually do when underwatered - even though I water her more often than planta suggests (at least once a week, sometimes more). I watered with neem oil + water solution, to give miss thing a little zhuzh, but she is just as sad. The top soil is also always dry, even in the picture, although she was watered a few hours ago. What do I do with her? I'm not new to violets, but I'm an extreme rookie with rescues. Thanks everyone! Help me save this sad girl!

What in the world is this. Doesn’t crawl and doesn’t seem to scrape off. I’m new and need help!šŸ˜‚

Help! This plant was given to us at my mother in laws funeral 4 years ago, it was huge but has since started to die…my question is, while trying to revive it should I cut off the dead limbs?

I’ve basically given up on this guy. I repotted it a week or two ago in a pot that I made using pottery clay and pottery glaze. Had it fired correctly and everything. I have two other plants in pots that I made and fired, one is doing fine (pilea), the other is a golden pothos with a yellow leaf as of this week. Do you think the problem is something in the clay and/or glaze, or the plant(s)?

Almost all of my indoor pothos have little holes/injuries. Any idea what this is? I’ve looked all over and I don’t see any kind of bugs but some of them look like chomps to me.

I’m not sure what’s going on with her! She was fine the other day, but now her leaves are turning yellow. I checked her soil and it’s moist, but not wet or damp. I do have her infront of a humidifier so could that be the reason? Please help!

Any idea how to get this Maidenhair Fern to grow ? It literally looks like it’s made no progress in over a month. The app tells me to keep moist all the time and water every few days basically. I feel like I’m doing all the right things but no progress. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø thank you in advanced !

Is this a repotting fail? She was not doing so before I tried to replant some of the clippings, but she’s still really struggling. Plz help!

Idk what to do for these anymore. I got them off Facebook and all the girl had said was she over watered it. Well I didn’t know about root rot until recently. So, I changed her pot and she started doing better…now all of a sudden she is declining again and idk why…I have one of these in water and it’s doing great and even had a new leaf come in but this one I feel like I’m not going to be able to save and I’m really upset about it. Can anyone give me tips on how to save it? I’ve cut back the bad parts and going to let her dry out over night and maybe put her in water instead?

I just got this orchid from my uncles girlfriend and I was wondering if all I have to do is cut the stems back to a node and to see if that helps , Also I have not checked for root rot yet if I need to.

Hey plant fam! So my maranta queen was in a window and it got too drafty this winter. I trimmed her up a little too much since her leaves turned all ugly from the cold air. Now what to do to bring her back to her vibrant self again!? She was so beautiful before and I feel so bad for her. TIA! Before on the right :( now after on the left.

Okay so I believe it’s from too much sun because the different in these two photos from just a few hours is insane. I’m really trying my hardest to make it better but some help will be amazingā¤ļø (Left is the newer photo)

Hi, all! Would anyone be able to shed some light on what’s going on with my weeping fig? It’s had some of these ā€œdamagedā€ leaves since I got it about four months ago. It continues to sprout new growth but still gets these sick-looking leaves as well (more towards the base of the tree). There’s no visible pests and it’s in a good temperature environment.
