Split Leaf Philodend

My split leaf philodendron gets this yellowing on leaves. It’s under a grow light for 12 hours. Don’t know if that is 2 much? I water when dry, started using general house plant fertilizer. Any thoughts?

Can anyone give me some insight on my hydrangeas? The leaves aren’t browning, but they’re wilting around the edges. Transplanted into the ground about a month ago there’s one branch standing straight up in the others are laying down , overwatered or underwatered?

First time plant owner here! Does anyone know if these little brown spots mean anything regarding the health of my plant? I’ve had this plant for a few months and the spots are relatively new and I was just wondering if it’s a sign of a disease or anything else.

Can someone say why this is happening? Don’t think overwatering is the problem.

My african candelabra fell from a high perch on my balcony 2-3 weeks ago and bent like this, now it looks like the damaged part is dying 😔 Is it safe for the plant if I cut the damaged part off?

i’m so confused why my satin pothos is all of the sudden so unhappy. i got him off his water schedule and probably overcompensated for it, but he had been bone dry for a while and when i watered again he freaked out. the yellow makes me think overwatering but i don’t even know how that’s possible. i changed out the soil as well and roots looked fine. 🤦‍♀️

Hello all, my bonsai ficus is getting quite tall, as you can see in the picture. Is this normal? Should I prune it? I appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hello! I picked up this chinese money plant from a greenhouse last week ish and i tried to snag the least damaged one. When i brought it home i wiped the leaves because it looked to have hard water stains on it and I noticed a couple little brown spots. I didn’t think too much of it because it’s probably just damage from handling at the store but i just wanted to make sure. I think the little dents on the one leaf (in photo 1) were from where I tried to remove it with a cloth to see if it would come off but it didn’t feel right scratching at the leaf like that. I didn’t continue to try and remove them, and the rest of the plants at the store seemed to also have the same marks, but it’s pushed out a new little leaf since I got it and other than the blemishes it seems to be doing great! it’s still in the nursery pot i got it in with drainage holes too. thanks! :)

Sorry for another post but it has NOT been a good plant weekend. Anyone have any thoughts on what this black discoloration on my Hoya Chelsea is?? Disease? Too close to a grow light?

I have these propagations…. The two on the right are neon pothos but I don’t know what the one on the left is. How would I be able to propagate these?

My Famingo Lily anthurium has a leaf that has developed some odd coloring. She has no pests as far as I know. What do you think this might be and what can I do about it. TXS. 😊💚🪴 PS The picture with the red bloom is what she usually looks like. Of course the bloom is long gone.

Help! My Thai Con got stem rot right below what I think was a node and above the roots. I cut off all the rot and this is what I'm left with above the roots. The roots feel ok. Does anyone know if I will get any growth from this? Or did I cut away too much of the node??
