Whatâs wrong with my plant? Please help!
I gained this plant from a family member that passed. It was green and seemingly doing well until maybe 2 days ago when all the leaves have gone completely dry crispy practically overnight?! It gets plenty of rain and the pot has drainage. We did have a few hot days but with a thunderstorm so I donât think itâs under watered? My family member thinks maybe this is normal and the leaves will come back but Iâm worried!
(Iâm very new to this!)

Hi all! I have a raven zz plant Iâve owned for a couple years that has developed droopy, leathery stems and leaves near the bottom. Any idea what causes this? Iâm currently watering every 2-3 weeks but the soil seems to dry out quickly. Should I water more frequently? Thanks for the help!!

Hey everyone! Weâve got a Caladium that we overwintered and went into dormancy. It lost all of its leaves in this time, but still hasnât shown any signs of growing anything else. Iâm not sure if it should have started to grow back by now, or if Iâve still got time before I should start to worry? Does anyone know how long dormancy is or if thereâs anything I can do to kickstart it?

I got this elephant ear recently and am just now noticing these tiny brown spots and some webs on it! Can anyone confirm or deny if this is spider mites?? What should I do to get rid of them if it is? Also theyâve been sitting with my other plants for about a week now and Iâm worried that it has spread over it thatâs the case! It was outside for several weeks before I bought it so it could be something else? Help!!

Please help! I havenât had her for long but she was caught in a major rainstorm (on April 29th) and I brought her in as soon as I could! I let her dry out on top of the pot, but when I got her she had NO roots whatsoever only the stem. Iâve repotted her since I got her and have been on a watering schedule. I havenât watered her since the rainstorm because planta has suggested that I donât. Please help with any advice or tips â€ïžđ±đȘŽ
P.s. sheâs been under a grow light off and on since. Thank you in advance!

Anybody have any clue what this is? Itâs on my parents plants. I canât see any legs on the white spots. When I touch the webs nothing moves including these teensy brown spiders. The whole plant is covered in webs and white dots.

Why is this leaf on my Amazonian elephant ear plant turning brown and crispy? And it looks like the new leaf isnât really unfolding well. Is it too much sun? Too little sun? It gets bright indirect light from a south facing window and I wait for the top two inches of the soil to dry first before watering.
