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?
Is there anything I can do to bring this sweet baby back? He was the plant that got me into gardening and hasn't looked good since I repotted him about a month ago. Advice would be sincerely appreciated!
Is this blight? My customer had this lil rubber tree in their waiting room and it was looking so sad and dry, so I gave it some water from my bottle. My customer saw me doing this and asked if I wanted to take it home because nobody in the office was willing to take responsibility for caring for it lol. Now that I’m getting a closer look at it, I’m noticing these spots on a few of the leaves. I have it quarantined outside in the shade for now. Gave it a repot with fresh soil, snipped all of the leaves with any spots (plus one stem that looked like it had some funk on it) and I sprayed it down with some 3% hydrogen peroxide and neem oil/filtered water. Am I wasting my energy lol, or is it possible that I caught it in time? Is there anything else I can/should do?
I just noticed my alocasia’s new leaf is turning yellow. I’m not sure whether it’s root rot, nutrient deficient, and/or low humidity. The tiny leaf is the newest, it hadn’t unfurled yet at the nursery. Any help is appreciated for a novice like me! Care: - Purchased and repotted over a month ago - Water every ~7 days - Feed every 14 days - Bright indirect light
Birkin looking a bit floppy recently and a couple leaves turning yellow/falling off, any ideas? Water it once a week and gets good light. Owned for at least a year in same pot.
I’ve got these white beads on the soil of two of my plants and I’m trying to figure out if it’s some type of fungus or bug eggs or just the perlite in the soil gathering together?
