Why are my angel wing begonia leaves curling in on themselves? I just recently planted her from water propagation about a month or two ago. It sits on my east facing windowsill getting morning sun & i have a humidifier for this one & my rex begonia. I did use Neem oil & systemic house plant insect control last week to try to get the gnats under control.

Just an update on my croton that was repotted. She went into shock, dropped all leaves. Looked dead. I cut her back, gave her a grow light and babied her. She’s making a come back!!

I need help please, this is my mom’s Queen of the night cactus. It’s been rooting for about 2 years now. It flew off my desk today due to some wind when it wasn’t even windy out, heartbreaking… Please can someone tell me if the leaf will heal back or if I should cut it? I’m referring to the huge leaf leaning.. The stem that runs through the leaf isn’t fully snapped but the leaf dangles without any pull to keep standing. Should I pot it in a nutrient rich mix now 94 keep it in water to see if it will heal? It has always been this one large leaf and an older one that is strong but very damaged. If I cut the large dangling leaf in half down to the damage will more leaves grow from that one or is that means for failure.. I really have no clue and just need some help please, anyone.. the mother plant is extremely old, I want to save this baby..

Hi everyone, I picked up this child for $15 at Lowe’s today. What would you do to nurse it back to health?

Hey Guys!! I just need some quick advice please.. Today my moms reincarnated Queen of the night cactus got thrown off my desk by wind and its main largest leaf and the new leaf stem it was currently pushing out both broke.. I think for the new growing one it is probably too late and will die off, but as for the large leaf, will this cut/break that happened heal over or what do I need to do. Please. The leaf broke down the middle stem that goes up the plant and I’m really hoping it will just scab over or something and not that the whole leaf dies ): the break you see in the photo is holding itself together upright, but the plant was completely bent 90° under itself, if you bend it back you can see inside/through the leaf. It has been potted in water it’s whole life, and I’m not sure if I should leave it in the water to heal now or to transition to a potting soil mix in hopes that the growth will take off and not only be one large leaf.. Please I need hope and advice..

Hi! I have this rattlesnake plant. All of a sudden it did this. I can’t even tell if it’s able to be saved. The plant has never shriveled before and I’ve had it for months and now it’s becoming crispy. Do you think this is dehydration? Or overwatering? Thank you! I water it when it when the soil is dry. I usually water until a tiny bit of water comes out the bottom. I do not fertilize it and it has a grow light which is on about 12-14 hours a day. I’ve done it this way for months, but I’ve noticed the soil is retaining less water? When I poor water it goes almost right through. Maybe it needs new soil?

My Hoya is doing wonderful, but she has some black dots on her leaves and her leaves turn yellow . I have chunky soil on the top and normal soil throughout it with a little bit of a mix. I’m just wondering if I can do anything to help this or if it’s healthy and I’m overthinking it

Hi Green Thumbers! Here's my Sweet Calceolaria, the soil is still wet, I want to repot it as it's never been repoted. Is it okay that the red flowers have dried off? I've never had this plant before. Hello please!

Ever since bringing this plant home the leaves have shrunk. What do I need to be feeding her? What is she missing? I’ll do anything to get the original leaves she came with.

Found these caterpillars eating my lime tree leaves! What are they? Are they bad? They attached themselves to the tree with some web if that helps. As you can see in the second photo I moved them off. Only saw two. Didn’t want to kill them.

New to this app. Been really struggling to keep this gal happy. Not sure what the problem is, thought overwatering or too much light, now I think maybe under watering… any tips?

Hey guys, wondering if any of you can tell me if these pots are too big for my birds of paradise?? I’m concerned i repotted them too quickly as they didn’t have a root ball when I did and they really haven’t grown at all since repotting 😥
