I’ve had this rubber plant since April, and it was growing little leaves on the bottom for a while. But whenever I would check on them, they fell off at the slightest touch. Now I haven’t seen growth in a while. Is there something I can do to help this?

A little spotty yellowing in some of my fiddle leaf fig leaves. Not enough water? She sits in a SE facing window. The leaves are a bit dirty, I know I should probably clean them so she can absorb more light?

First Beryll, then, 5 days of rain. Now, 5 more days of rain to top off the first 5 days and triggering daily Flash Flood Watches. I’ve seen enough of July! I spend my days ushering tree frogs and toads out the back door after they follow the dogs inside looking for dry land and a/c. I spend a lot of time picking snails off my plants and windows. ☔️🐌

I have a fishtail fern that is getting a lot of dry spots. Noticed it when I was cleaning it off today and I was wondering if the new growth in the middle is supposed to look like that? Thanks in advance. Oh and it has a few of those little holes that look like insect marks though I didn't see any insects.

Does anyone know what this leafy plant is, growing in my pot? I noticed very small leaves appearing about 3 weeks ago but left it alone. It also happened to 2 of my other plants, a jade and a bonsai. A few changes happened last month to all of them: new soil and have been in the garden once I’m thinking to remove it soon, but was just curious to know what it is.

Anyone have any idea on what’s going on with my tomatoes. They get full sun from about 11am until sunset. We HAVE been struggling with cucumber beetles. Could this be bacterial wilt? ☹️ Some of the plants are ok but most are wilting. I water them every other night with the hose

these white spots have been increasing in number over the last month or so. not sure what they are. and then the colour started fading from one of the leaves. i put a grow light to shine on the underside but we’ll see if that prevents further damage. could the white spots be a fungus? it gets most of its lighting from grow lights and seems to be doing fine. it even has a new growth. i just watered today because it was bone dry and then i put the globe in the soil. the globe is new so it couldn’t be because of that. any thoughts??

Can anyone tell me why my calathea is yellowing and brown tips. I water with rain water only when it looks droopy and I use a meter gauge

Okay so I have this monstera that I just repotted for the first time and it’s starting to droop. Basically I just wanna know if my plant is doing okay 😀

Any idea what this white stuff is? This is my office plant and I’m getting worried. The leaves are starting to droop too. I water a small amount weekly because there is very little sun in here.

Does my basil plant need a new pot? She’s grown so much! I don’t want her to be cramped.

Some of my peace lily leaves are turning yellow. I’ve already pulled a few off. Does anybody know what’s wrong with it?

Hi, all my plants have thrips and I need good advice on getting rid of them plz!!!

sabrinasaurus

Noticed some tiny brown spots on a couple of my philodendron birken's leaves this morning. I found an old reddit thread that suggested it's fungus — never had a fungus issue yet so any tips on confirming the diagnosis & how to treat would be appreciated! I love this guy so hopefully he can bounce back. It's not on all the leaves, is more present on some than others, and hasn't impacted new growth (he puts out a new leaf pretty much constantly)

I have mealy bugs on my lemon tree what is the best pest solution for mealy bugs

Alyssa

What type of pest is that? They move fast and they are on my plant leaves especially on the new leaves and they are all curling because of them it’s been months I treat them and they always come back. I tought it was thrips but I just wanna make sure if its not something else?

I got this flame violet from someone, it looked healthy when I got it and within a week the leaves started browning, I don't have much natural lighting in my apartment so I got some grow lights, thinking maybe it wasn't getting enough light, the soil seems a normal wetness. Anyone have any idea why the leaves are browning and what I can do to make it healthy again?
