So. Picked up some Trader Joe plants at lunch. Left them in my car for 5 or so hours, thinking the sunlight would be nice for them. Returned to this below — even the succulents went brown?? I’m guessing it was a temperature issue? Any chance of them recovering?
Anyone knows what this is on my Hibiscus?
Hey friends, how do you fix powdery mildew? It’s running rampant on my peonies with all this Iowan rain.
*Update* (see pics 2-4) I repotted her into a pot with drainage and the roots were so bad and stuck in the previous pot. After hours of getting the old soil out and in a new pot she was looking much better - but a few days later all of the leaves fell off (assuming from shock) BUT I have two new leaves coming in so I’m hoping she’ll be looking better soon🙏 Hi all! I have this fiddle leaf fig that is clearly not doing too good 😭 How do you think we can fix her? I tried a homemade fungicide a couple days ago and sprayed the leaves with it. Idk what’s wrong. I’m thinking of repotting her into a pot that has drainage holes in case that’s the issue too but I’m not sure if I should cut any leaves off or anything like that
Help, not sure what this is on my rubber plant? White like flakes on her leaves. Haven’t changed or moved her since the got her 2 months ago. Other than that she has been healthy
Help! I just got this variegated Alocasia Odora two days ago. I took it home, watered it because the soil was dry, and I have it in a nice spot with lots of bright indirect light and good humidity (50-60%). This morning, I found that the variegated part of this leaf (on the right) was dry and crispy. Is this just shock from the move or is something wrong? It only has two leaves and seems very fragile, any advice is welcome!
I chopped off the top of my umbrella tree to get a propagation but now the new leaves and stems have these weird brown spots. Is it a fungal infection? What should I do?? And the new leaves don’t have the varigation 😭
I think I was wrong about my plant being fine, I just watered him and I came back to dump out the excess water that came out drainage holes then I see this! (Forgot what it’s called) fell off! It’s completely new, starting sprouting 1-2 months ago and I come back after a few minutes and it’s just off the plant! Is this normal? While watering I did notice the tip of it becoming black but I didn’t think anything of it, slightly reconsidering getting another plant!!
I’m 60% sure that these little white dots are fungi but I’m not entirely sure. Does anybody know what these little guys are in my pothos plant?
Hi new plant parent here. I just bought this pilea from facebook marketplace. Today in some dappled sun I noticed there is webbing across the soil and little spiders. (see spider on very bottom left leaf in picture) Is this something to worry about (spider mites) or harmless? I dont seed any white spots on leaves or webbing around leafs. Should I still quarantine this guy from other plants? And how to treat?
I need to know if it’s over for Jeff, he has been like this for a few months now. He used to be very green and healthy until I moved him back home. He lives in my conservatory with all the water he needs but doesn’t seem to be recovering, is he dead? :(
can anyone help me understand what i'm doing wrong? the inner leaves are very crispy and dead but the stems seem relatively healthy
Overall looks healthy but this one leaf turned brown on ver the past few weeks, ideas on what caused this?
My Emerald Gem Plant is struggling and I don’t know what to do! I tried different light and watering schedules. New leaves shrivel and die. Any ideas? Thank you!!
Got this variegated prickly pear about 2-3 weeks ago, didn’t water for 16 days after I bought it and put it in a south facing window. Noticed it started looking a bit wrinkly and soft so I gave it a thorough watering 2 days ago - now it seems a bit more sturdy at the bottom but still soft at the top, so I checked its roots and they look healthy and fine, no sign of rot. However, found 2 tiny transparent worm in the soil which Im assuming are fungus gnat larvae, so I repotted it and sprayed with diluted hydrogen peroxide, should I water its new soil or keep it dry? Since it’s soft Im not sure what to do and if the worms or underwatering is the cause of this issue! What do you guys think, is my cactus okay?
How would I get rid of what looks to be silkworms on my rosemary?
How would I get rid of aphids on my Carolina Reaper?
Should I prune this leaf from my beauty? It was on it when I got her and just never snipped it off.
First time mama here for such a big and unique (to me) plant. I bought Burgundy (Ficus Burgundy) about a month ago for my birthday. But I can’t seem to help her stop losing leaves. I keep seeing them turn yellowish and then fall off. I am using the Planta app to tell me when to water her (about once a week), but it still isn’t helping. Please help! Here are a few things: 1) I did not repot her 2) The soil feels dry all the time from top to bottom. I don’t want to overwater her (feed once a week and only until the water starts to drain from the drain holes) 3) She is less than a foot away from a window with sheer white curtains 4) I have a covered vent on the floor near her but the house stays at 70-72 degrees and there is no direct breeze/wind hitting her 5) the leaves are wilting (towards the bottom) 6) some leaves are still upright (towards the top) 7) some leaves are yellowish 8) other leaves are split (even though I didn’t do anything to split them)
One of my snake plant leaves is yellowing and a bit soft. I water once a month. I haven’t watered this guy in almost a month. What’s going on? Should I cut the yellow leaf off?
