Can someone help me figure out what’s wrong with my rubber tree? Is she not getting enough light or is she overwatered? The soil is just damp and there is no evidence of root rot. I pulled her from the pot. She’s drooping badly, dropping bottom leaves, and bottom leaves are yellowing badly. Help!!!

Can anyone tell me how to heal my plant? Apparently it is very sick. It used to be in an enclosed room above a cat litter box but I have since moved it so a more spacious environment. Thanks!

Can someone please help diagnose why the leaves on my Orbifolia have yellow corners, eventually turning to crispy brown as in the pictures here? It sits in a close proximity to a humidifier and I water the plant when the top layer is somewhat dry. Oh I checked thoroughly and it has no signs of pests. How can I fix this?

Hi everyone! Hoping if someone could help or tell me how to help my plant? It’s an Emerald Ripple Pepper, but it’s been looking really droopy, brownish, and overall sad. Might be from over or under watering by who had this plant before me, or too much sun since it was straight next to a window, but I’m worried since I’m not very experienced with plants currently. If you can help, thanks!

I’ve been struggling with spider mites! They were all over my palm, and now they’ve spread to my strawberries, lemon tree, and a few other plants. Help! I tried spraying them, using soapy water, and making sure to get both sides of each leaf but they keep coming back. What’s the best way to get rid of them?

Does making a pesticide from boiling orange peels in water actually help to keep bugs off my plant?

Please help me with my new variegated teardrop peperomia :( I got this plant from Walmart yesterday and I had to repot it because it was in standard potting soil and overwatered so much that water was dripping out of the soil as I was picking it up. I repotted it into mostly orchid bark mixed with some cactus soil and perlite. It seems to be doing worse now. The leaves are faded, some are browning, and they’re really skinny and flimsy. I noticed the plant was made out of a bunch of cuttings that seemed to have roots less than an inch long but I wasn’t sure if I should try to put the cuttings in water because overwatering already seemed to be the problem and I know this plant doesn’t like water. Please help me, I really want this plant to survive :(

Is it normal for my PPP to look like this? I’ve attached some pictures of a few dying leaves and the newest leaves that are currently unfurling. I’m not sure if the new growth gets more of its color as it opens, Im new to this plant.

So I have a rust problem I believe :( it’s on my peace lily and some of my monstera delicios. I’ve tried neem oil and it seems to work for a second then come back. What do I do 😭🙏🏻

I have four elephant ear bulbs that are sprouting. This is the second one that has had these speckles on it. I don’t know if it’s dirt. As the leaf is curling more of the stuff is starting to show. I took a Q-tip and wiped it off with some neem oil and water. When it smeared it’s red. Does anyone know what this could be or is it just dirt? Edit: there is no webbing and they don’t seem to move/crawl

Can someone help me with my black magic elephant ear??? I’ve had such an issue with it since I’ve had it and I don’t know what to do at this point! I’ve had it inside and I woke up one day to half of the leaves being wilted off. I then plucked them and started over. Then, it got spider mites and I had to treat it for that. It ended up killing several of the leaves in the process of that. Now, as it’s been doing terribly inside, I’ve tried moving it to the porch to get a bit more light and it’s not improving. What am I doing wrong 😭 I have at least 40 plants and have never had such a temperamental one before!!
