So Planta keeps diagnosing this poor squash seedling (zuchini) with “not repotted”, except it’s BEEN repotted. The soil is damp. It was fertilized recently. It is in a shady area but still gets sunlight. One of the leaves has huge dead spots on it, but I did notice just now the stem seems to have bent at some point. What corrective measures can I take to ensure the squash doesn’t suffer in the wind (it’s outside) and doesn’t break or bend any more stems? IS the broken stem the issue with this leaf, or is there something else going on I should be concerned with? I tried putting it in the part of the enclosure that gets the least wind/is best protected and hopefully that works, but it’s somewhat at the expense of available light, though I read squash don’t like lots of bright light anyway.

Horridly rotted and then horridly dehydrated anthurium that died completely. Is there any hope of getting it back from these healthy roots. There’s technically a stem at the top but it’s pretty thoroughly rotted

Hello! My wife and I are first time homeowners and one of our first projects was to clean up all of the dead/overgrown plants. We are hoping to save this Sumac Bailtiger (at least that’s what I believe it is) but are having no luck. 1.) Is there any hope or is it a lost cause? 2.) Any tips to try and revive this guy? Any advice is appreciated!

Hi yall! I adopted this chive plant from my husbands coworker, it’s growing pretty well but was wondering if there’s ways to make it fuller? The whole base of it looks dried but I don’t want to hack at anything that’s essential.

Since repotting my golden pothos (due to mold growing on the soil twice even after neem oil) she has since gone droopy. The first two photos are of her sad self now, the last photo of what she was. What could be the cause of this? Lighting is not the issue as I have 3 other pothos on the same table as her and they are just fine.

Leaves are already dropping on my new Ti plant. Very new to plants so not sure what to do? Haven’t planted it in a bigger pot yet. Gets sunlight through the window most of the day. Could it be the AC in my apartment?

I found this tiny thing on a plant I bought recently, and I was wondering if it’s scale? It was a bit stuck on the leaf but did come off with a bit of gentle force, I didn’t notice it damage the leaf thankfully so I thought I’d share it and see if anyone recognises it.

Dont pay to much attention to my natives outdoors because they’re very self sustaining, just realized my 7 FOOT white sage bush is INFESTED WITH SCALE. I’ve never dealt with such infestation outdoors and it’s seems way worse because it has no bounds outside lol. Gonna prune it back a lot tomorrow (👎😩) but what the f**k do I do. I don’t want to use pesticides.

Anyone know what would cause this spot on my money tree leaf? It’s right at the tip on both sides. Everything else looks great and new growth coming in. Not sure if I can leave it or should prune

Is watermelon peperomia more sensitive than other peperomia? My peperomia are doing great with the exception of Walter. He came with damaged leafs, but as new leafs are growing in they’re just not looking great. He seems healthy otherwise, because he’s not droopy or losing any leafs. I take care of him the same way I take care of my others - bottom watering when the top inch or two are dry. I also mist occasionally and run a humidifier a few times a week. He also gets the same amount of sunshine. Do you have any suggestions. The new leafs aren’t coming in flat or eventually turning into flat leaves. Some of the damage on the large leaves is how he arrived, but I still haven’t seen him produce a really nice leaf yet.

Accidentally broke the end of a very long branch on my heart leaf philodendron 😳 Should I try to propagate the broken piece in water or soil? And is there anything I can do to fix the end of the branch or should I just leave it?
