Anyone have any special tips for goldfish plants? It was a dream list plant that I ordered from a plant shop that I shop at but is two hours away. They sent me a 4 inch that unfortunately isn’t very bushy yet. It has a good root system that appeared to be healthy, but only about seven small springs of foliage that is slowly loosing leaves. It does have new growth and I repotted it into a much better draining soil and pot with more drainage but a couple weeks later I see no improvement. It’s still slowly loosing leaves and not absorbing water, which I’ve heard they aren’t very thirsty plants due to the leaf structure. The roots didn’t appear to have any root rot and I’ve been waiting for the soil to completely dry. I’m not sure what else to do for her, I’m afraid to give her dry soil for fear of repot shock because I’ve heard they’re finicky. I also can’t find any evidence of pests and I did my regular pest treatments in quarantine for a couple weeks as well. 🫠 Help, she mustn’t die on me!

My happy healthy Jacklyn has some yellowing…. It’s on its lowest 2 leaves so I’m guessing it’s age related? If it’s lack of light then I’m screwed as the suns setting by 4pm here in the UK atm 😩

Seeking advice about this lucky bamboo I have here; it’s been doing fine for about a year in this pot, however, I think I left it out near my window for too long and it got too much sun exposure? It started getting better at first after I removed it from the window, but I think it’s getting worse now and I don’t know what the black dots are. Any help appreciated!

New plant mom here 😊. I'm not really sure what type of plant this is, but I'm assuming it's a pothos. I took her to a plant house and they told me I was underwatering and they changed the soil. But she is not getting any better. She was on the window but I got growing lights and put it there. She is still getting worse. Does anyone know what I can do?

H!!! This group has been a lot of help so far and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on what i should do about my pink princess. She’s recently been growing lopsided and I would really like it if she was bushier and more full. Should I cut off the long limb and try to propagate it or leave her as is?

My monstersa is having difficulty and I am stumped. The lower leaves are turning yellow and increasing. I have been following the plant a schedule but I am doubting the accuracy. I had it outside; I live in North Central, Florida, on my screened porch. It is all indirect light. The leaves began turning yellow out there, but slowly. We recently had a cold snap so it is inside in a north facing window with a grow light 18” away. I have been spraying it. The plant schedule allowed it to dry out too much so I am now testing the soil myself. The leaves are turning yellow more quickly though!! Just found the cause, bugs. Any ideas as to what it is, how to treat it, and ongoing care? I deeply appreciate any help!

Is it safe to spray a plant very heavily with alcohol, like completely douse it? One of my moms plants has mealy bugs and she's about ready to give up.

I have a Chinese money plant that has recently dropped a lot of leaves and has bleached/browning leaves. I water her almost every 7-10 days and I have her pretty much touching a south facing window. I don’t think I’ve fertilized her for about a year. I see people saying that it’s a thrip infestation or other types of bugs but I honestly see nothing that even remotely looks like that on the leaves. Then there are people saying it’s a fungal infection which is more believable, while others say it’s too much water and fertilizer. She also has a lot of pups popping. If anyone can help with this please comment!

I recently moved my rubber plant from a different room, and over time the leaves on the lower half of the plant have fallen off, is it possible to cut everything down to the base and start fresh?

My ficus Audrey has lost lots of leaves and grown really tall!! Is it possible to cut the stem and propagate with water to replant and maybe it will grow fuller?

Just a little reminder to check on ur plants a lil more, cause as it gets colder and the heating gets cranked up, they may dry out faster. :)
