My peace lily has some yellow leaves, I’m not sure if it was like that when I bought it or not.. it’s in a shady/low light area, and has drainage as well, and where I live has around 80-90% humidity too.. any ideas of what it is?? Edit: moved it farther from the window
Help!!! My neon pothos has all this white fuzz. And the leaves are getting more spotty. Any advise? I have no idea what to do. Is my plant doomed? 😩
My fig tree woke up with this weird leaf, I don’t think it’s a water problem because since winter started I water it every 4 weeks or more depending how humid the soil is!! Help!!
My catnip plant has developed these weird white specks that seem to be slowly wilting the leaves :( I've never kept catnip before & I just got this plant casually from the local Petsmart for my kitties. I suspect fungal growth, but I try to avoid getting the leaves wet while watering & I keep a grow light on the plant for about 12 hrs a day. Does anyone have any insight on what could be affecting my catnip? Much appreciated (from me & my catnip-loving babies <33)
Propagated and replanted these pothos a few months ago. Both have shown growth in the last few weeks, however I can’t figure out why the plant in front is drooping. I thought maybe overwatering, I typically wait 2-3 weeks between waterings. Any and all advice is welcome!! TIA
Bought this huge 5 foot tall dragon tail on OfferUp from an owner of a nursery in Tacoma called Sunny’s for $270. The picture in the ad was perfect. I had to pick it up at night from his home and couldn’t examine it very well in the dark. Also, he said he owned Sunny’s, and said this was the shop plant and they didn’t have room for it there anymore, so I thought I was safe not being able to examine it closely. Got it home and shocked at the condition it was in. It was badly damaged and in poor health from being neglected, underwatered and underfed. All the new growth tips are damaged. And nearly every leaf was damaged with brown tips and bites out of the leaves like from beetles or caterpillars. I contacted Ryan from Sunny’s through the OfferUp app to see if I could bring it back and get my money back since the picture in the ad did not match the plant I got. He said no. Offered me $50 and told me he didn’t even have to give me that. All sales final. So now I’m stuck with this thing. Anyhow, the backs of all the leaves except the newest ones have all these brown bumpy spots on them. What is it? Do I need to worry? The second photo is the one from the OfferUp ad. The next is the plant as received. The next is the plant after repotting and attaching to a new trellis. I think I know why he sold this through OfferUp and not his store though. 🙄
Does anyone know what I could do to get my bird of paradise back to her former glory- (the blue pot photo is about 6 months ago ) when she had a lot of leaves and then they all browned and died so I cut them off and she kept growing up but no new leaves. She is in a spot that gets nice indirect light and her pot has drainage and I always let her dry out a bit before watering.
Hi all my Alocasia Elephant ear is acting up- she is placed in a spot that gets indirect sun throughout the day and I always wait for her to dry out before watering- should I cut off this leaf? She’s only got the one leaf. Im wondering if maybe the pot is too big? I added a photo with flash to see the color of the spots better. Thank youuu!!
So I was gifted a flamingo Lilly Anthurium and it’s not in a great condition any tips to get it back in great shape? I’m guessing they cut the flowers or leaves to propagate maybe do I get rid of those stems?
Can anyone please give me some advice on caring for this large money tree? I bought it from my local Home Depot for a bargain and it actually has several seven leaf growths all over it. All of it’s leaves were flat and level and crisp when I brought it home and after a few months some leaves have turned brown and fallen off and some are starting to sag and look sad. I’m definitely struggling with how often to water. I’ve googled money trees plenty and see a lot of conflicting information so I’ve leaned towards under-watering. Just hoping there’s an expert here who at a glance can tell me what it needs. Thank you!
Help! My hubby bought me a beautiful neon pothos today but it has these spots on them! Anyone know what it could be? I do feel like it has been overwatered because there is green algae on the soil, but I don’t see any signs of pests!
Does anyone know what these tiny white bugs are all over what used to be my beautiful zebra plant? They’ve literally appeared overnight - they don’t seem to be on the soil or pot only the stalk. I have other plants beside this but this appears to be the only one with them
What do these spots look like on my anthurium Michelle leaves? Plant was shipped to me 2 weeks ago. I had a new leaf but dropped the leaf from shipping stress and change to humidity, according to seller. Therefore I put it in my humidity tent, where other plants are doing well. These spots are new. I repotted and the roots looked great.
Could anyone tell me what this is on my Jade? My grandma had this plant for years and I’m taking care of it for her now that she’s in a nursing home and I really do not want to be killing it somehow 😣
Can anyone help me how to save my plant 😭 I travelled one Christmas a month and came back to her dying and lost almost all of her leaves. i took the dried ones and kept watering her but stil looking sad (it’s been a month and a half since this happened).
Any idea what could be wrong with my monstera. It was doing great until I repotted in months ago. The leaves are very droopy and there black marks on some of the stem. I don’t see any pests on or under the leaves. I only water when soil is dry. Watering doesn’t seem to perk up the leaves. I’m worried I’m losing this plant! 😩
Need help with my plant, does anyone know what I'm soing wrong? I've followed a youtube video before when it happened the first time but it looks like it's happening again.
I just bottom watered my calathea ornata and after I took it out, there were these thin little clear and brownish worms in the left over water. The plant is doing great, no visible problems. I have no idea what these could be, can anyone help?
…. i broke him :( it was a total accident which i know can happen but i snapped off a new leaf!! is there any hope in this rooting in water?? and the mother plant growing a new growth point in its place?? this is my first of these plants and it’s only like 3 month old to me i really hope i haven’t ruined my chances and could use some advise of if water is the best or not 🤣🖤
I got this plant from my mom and she had not taken care of it… Do I cut off the leafs? I’ve had it for a couple months now and I don’t know what to do with the brown leaves. I thought I should just leave them but I don’t know if it’s killing the other parts of the plant
