got this plant not too long ago. It lost a couple leaves on the bottom because I didnât close my window properly. ( died of cold) I donât know why the leaves are droopy tho. I follow the schedule, etc. I donât over/underwater it. (maybe I do, idk) Thereâs not spot on the leaves and except the droop, the plant is alright. Itâs a ficus and i have two of these that Iâve had for over a year now without any issues. Does anyone know why this is happening? Or did this happen to you?

How can I successfully get rid of gnats once and for all? Ive tried not watering plants for a while to dry out the soil but no success. Iâve tried covering the top layer of soil with cinnamon but no success. Iâve tried the sticky fly traps, still there. Anything I can do that will quickly stop them from reproducing?

Rescue pineapple plant. I got two other rescues (different plants) but this one is the only one that is still problematic. Iâm thinking itâs a humidity problem but my other humidity lovers are surviving (i do not own a humidifier only a spray bottle đ). Any tips?

I just rescued this plant from Loweâs. One friend says I have thrips another friend says itâs just light spots on the leaves. Iâve showered it twice and checked and I donât see any bugs moving around.

anyone have recommendations for particularly stubborn thrips? Iâve been rinsing and wiping down the leaves and stems with a little bit of dish soap. unfortunately, Iâm now finding a majority of the thrips at the base my newest leaf (2-3 little ones can be found on a couple nearby leaves). Iâm reluctant to use a pesticide or release beneficial bugs. Iâm reaching a point where Iâm wondering if I should just cut off all affected leaves.
Iâm also finding these brown bases on nearby leaves. not sure if I should be concerned. this is a monstera plant by the way.

Good evening all,
My orchid of 3 years had a lovely bloom last year as per pic.
This year however her leaves have sprouted from half way up and roots have started to come mid way rather than underneath .
There are some buds on ready to bloom despite the change in her.
Is there something I should be doing here
Bigger pot ?

My Hilo Beauty started off with fungus which I think I got rid of, roots arenât rotted but she has almost lost the two leaves she had when I got her, the ones that grew in seem healthy but Iâm scared sheâll drop those too. What do I do?

this plant used to be lush and beautiful, but recently most of the long vining growths have died off. I know the plant is healthy because thereâs new growth, but what made some of the vines die off? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be great

Hi plant lovers ! Iâm not sure whatâs happening with my fiddle leaf fig đą some leaves are falling (2-3 when moved) causing some branches to be bare, but there is still new growth on the tallest leaves ? Whatâs happening?!
Thank you

My Alocasia is yellowing! I need help! Itâs facing a northeast window, and about 6 feet away from it.

GUYS so like a few weeks ago some of the leaves of my snake plant were drooping. It seemed to be underwatering bc I measured the dryness of the soil with a skewer. The weird thing is that I watered it two days agoâŠso I checked the roots and I repotted it because I thought maybe it was soaking up the water too quickly since it was rootbound. After two-three weeks of waiting the leaves have still not undrooped, and the soil is still moist. ??? What is happening?
Some additional details: the tips of the leaves that are drooping are turning brown. Iâve been watering it exactly when I should and I even measure the moisture of the soil before watering. It has drainage holes and the soil is plenty airy so Iâm so baffled as to what is wrong.

The tips of my alocasia are yellowing. Is this due to too much light exposure? My silver dragon leaves are also starting to curl upwards, they were flat when I got it. Is that an issue? Most of the things Iâve read talk about the plants drooping or curling downwards. Any tips?

I bought this Syngonium âwendlandiiâ last week off of Facebook Marketplace and as you kinda see, she looks sad. It had been a while since she was watered and her pot was riddled with dead plant material.
I watered it and used neem oil to ward off any bugs that may have come with it. I also added a bit of fertilizer in the water. Every four-ish days, I mist her down because she is a very dry area.
Is there anything I can do to make her healthier? Or are they picky like calatheaâs and are drama queens?

If the leaves of this tradescantia are drying up yet some of the leaves are hanging low what should I do?

Hi! I recently got rid of spider mites on this poor boy. I also noticed he hadnât been repotted so I did that. He seemed to be getting better but then all of a sudden his leaves started to turn yellow then eventually brown. Do you think this is over watering or not enough sun?
