My Arrowhead plant is looking mighty lousy. Can someone help me and let me know what I am doing wrong?

Oh dear. All of a sudden, my Lemon Lime Philodendron is failing me. It was once full, but I’m losing leaves left and right. I lost a big leaf this morning and one of the stems is brown. What am I doing wrong?

What can I do for this poor plant? She was so full and pink when I brought her home now she’s leggy and not happy looking. The leaves are turning yellow and crispy then falling off. There is new growth at the top but it looks droopy. I watered it yesterday and keep to the planta schedule and it’s in part sun.
Monstera questions
Anybody know what causes a sugary water coating on my bird of paradise that I have been washing off and/or this funny texture. I also know I need to repot and am scared so tips appreciated

Hello. This isn't about the norm for this chat. I'm so upset! Some terrible person in the maintenance crew for our subdivision decided to cut my purple spiderwort down 2 weeks ago. It is coming back to life but looks nothing like before. Instead of complaining, this time I sat on my patio with my camera on record sipping my coffee. When the guy came by with his weed waker, he gave me a weak smile and said hello. I don't play about my plants. I work hard to keep them healthy and beautiful. I deserve respect for my property. See the before and after. (Don't mind the gorgeous model on the 1st. ).

Help!! 🥲 I repotted this Monstera from my work (car dealership that’s basically a giant sunroom, it’s the owners monstera) on Sept 15. It was extremely rootbound and bone dry in a pot with no drainage. The roots looked firm/healthy with no obvious rot, i removed most-ish? of the old soil, soaked the root ball, and repotted it into a 12” clear pot with drainage and a much airier mix (same width as old pot but deeper) A week later it started yellowing (probably sooner but I didn’t know till yesterday) At first it was older leaves, but now some larger/more mature leaves are yellowing too, and I just noticed nearly every remaining green leaf has at least some yellowing at the tips/edges. Two leaves went completely yellow and were removed yesterday, and two more have yellowed very quickly today. I ended up bringing it home so I can monitor it more closely. It’s now in my bright sunroom with natural light + grow lights, in the clear pot so I can watch the moisture/root zone. I’ve also added a couple side ventilation holes and a fan for gentle airflow. The lower mix is still holding quite a bit of moisture, so I haven’t watered again. Does this still sound like transplant shock from being severely rootbound for so long? Photos show the repot and yellowing progression (idk why the pic makes the old pot look bigger than the new)

Haaalp my money tree is acting weird and I truly can’t figure out if it has too much light, water, or too little light. It’s kinda deep in a basement so it has a grow light but I think the burning on the leaves is bc there too much light so idk what to do. Anything helps sorry if it’s obvious but I can normally diagnose my plants bc I suspect there spot is the problem but here idk what it could be.

So I had a plant I was worried had spider mites. I isolated it and of the ones in proximity to it. They’ve been isolated since early August. When are they safe to reintroduce to my collection of 60+ plants? I don’t see signs of pests currently, but there seemed to be some geometric webbing on one of the secondary plants in mid August. Haven’t seen anything else since.

Any idea what happened to my Frizzle Sizzle? I brought it home and it looked completely normal. I watered it and put it under a grow light, and now it’s droopy and browning.
Belle

Megan
Was gifted this cycamen a week ago as a sympathy plant. Didn’t water or look at it until today 😬 will it come back or is it a loss?

What’s wrong with my pilea? My previous pilea died after looking like this. I don’t believe it to be overwatered and I have tried fungicide and it also has bonide in it. The leaves are turning yellow, some have black spots and many have alr fallen off.

First time owning a peacock plant (also first year taking care of indoor plants) Theres lot of browning leaves on the older leaves that were grown when I bought it from my local Ace hardware. They seem to be very droopy too. Theres also a lot of sap underneath all leaves. Anything I should be worried about? Tips? Or is it looking OK? Thanks for the help!

ever since i found this pest schedule on tiktok from Licia’s Leaves my pests are GONE. as someone with over 100 plants i’ve been looking for a simplified pest schedule and this works great. it’s the time of year for me when my plants start to be moved inside from my front patio, this schedule has wiped out mealy, mites, and gnats for me.
Nadia
hey yall. I have a good amount of indoor plants and some of them are really struggling with fungal gnats I’ve tried the neem oil spray and it seems to not be working! I also use sticky traps which gets a lot of them but they’re still everywhere.. what’s the best solution to my problem🥴TIA🫶🏼

How do I get more variegated leaves on my syngonium?
Pam
I have 4 indoor plants and am seeing gnats for the first time. I bought the tacky cut outs and they seem to be working at trapping the gnats. Any other suggestions?

Help! What’s happening to my monstera? She was doing great until the past two months when she slowly over time started developing these rust colored spots on her leaves. What do I do?
