Hello everyone, was wondering if I could get some help with my birds nest fern. This guy gets minimally watered, for the most part left alone. Why are there issues with my leaves, and the baby ones inside look like they’re dying 😭

Help!!! This leaf is changing colors and the leaf is leaking water. The soil is moist not wet/soggy. I’ve been letting it dry out but it seems like the area is getting larger. What is this? How do I treat it?

Help🥲🥲🥲 I have this monstera burle Marx flame and it has been doing so well but its newest leaf doesn’t look so hot…none of the other leaves have started to rot and I honestly forget to water it. Should I let the plant do its thing and chop once the rotten leaf is pushed out? Any advice id helpful!

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my pothos? Is it thrips?? I didn’t see any little bugs, but it got so bad so quick. I did repot it a couple of weeks ago, and it was a rough repot, so I am not sure if that has something to do with it. I haven’t had a pest issue in forever, so not sure what happened. To be safe, I sprayed it down with my neem oil mixture and it is being quarantined. I hope it didn’t make its way to my other plants 😭

My beauty is sick not sure whats happening. She’s loosing leaves. She was doing good loosing some leaves but growing three in return but now she isnt growing any. I did notice some spider web type thing at the edge of the leaves not sure if that means anything. Water and growlight has not changed.

Plant has lost all but one leaf over the years. Not sure how to help it, thoughts or tips? (Hopefully youre able to see the photos attatched to the tagged plant, but I'm not too sure if that's how this works, so if not, I can provide further details!)

I bought I’ll of these dying plants for $5 total. The baskets the pots were in were worth more than that for each of them and I got 13. Can I bring these back to healthy? Or should I just take the win with the baskets and let the plants go?

Help! I recently moved and my monstera moght not like the new place? Ive started getting some dry brown crunchy spots. I also dont know if it could be two different problems because there also patches with brown and yellow. See pictures. Ive kept the same watering schedule and misting it almost daily but wondering if its still too dry in here? Does anyone know whats wrong or how I can fix it? Thank you so much in advance!

Hey friends, I am a first time monstera owner and I’ve had this Thai constellation for a little over 2 months now. I noticed that this browning was happening on the white part of the large leaf about two weeks ago. I snipped the little bit and it’s just spread since. I’ve also noticed the browning/yellow spot on the smaller leaf in the back. I repotted this into a smaller pot last weekend and noticed that the roots were overall healthy (a few needed to be trimmed because the pot was too big/held too much water) and it just seems to be getting worse. I plan on changing out the trellis because it’s too heavy for the new pot and securing it better (I know I should not be using zip ties, it was just all I had at the moment) so it stops leaning so much but I don’t know what to do with the affected leaves. Any tips would be appreciated 😫

Does anyone know why my rexbegonia is getting these weird brown and white spots on its leaves? It recently flowered so I thinks it's like half healthy or something, but it seems to be getting worse and there's a lot of those little fruit fly looking guys around. I brought them to my dorm and I'm debating if I should just bring them home instead. Any advice 😢?

Over half of this guy’s roots had rotted, so I cleaned them up the best I could and moved it from LECA back to chunky soil. Any tips on what to do better? It’s one of my favorite plants, I’ll be so bummed if it doesn’t recover 🙁
