I have a calathea and it was growing fine until recently. Every time it begins to grow a new leaf, one of the older leaves begin to die. It’s almost like the new leaf is sucking the nutrients from the dying one. Do I need to get a bigger pot or put in new soil? This is one of my first plants, so I’m new to this. Any advice would very much appreciated.

I just bought this Lipstick plant last week and she was looking so healthy. In the past few days she’s been dropping leaves and looking a little wilty in areas. I want to keep her healthy! Help!

Hi all. I suspect I’m losing a plant, so I’m looking for some confirmation, any tips, & sympathy. 🥺 This flaming Katy (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) was part of an arrangement at my moms funeral last April. I’ve struggled with it the entire time. It seemed I couldn’t find a site it liked. Then aphids. Then water was going through it super fast, so I tried bottom watering & think I’ve now given it root rot. One’s a dry stick. The others’ leaves are falling off & one’s stem is turning black. I want it to live for sentimental reasons, but is it too late? Can I take clippings & propagate it? I feel terrible for not being able to make it happy. 😢

Not sure what happened but my house did get very cold. I am very upset because my plant had so much new growth recently and I just moved 5 months ago and it was adjusting so well here. Anyone know why this happened? Thank you in advance!

I have a succulent that has white stuff growing on it and the leaves are dying quickly. What is it and what should I do? Any help would be great. 🙂

I recently got a red sister plant that was in perfect condition! I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong, but 90% of the bottom leaves turned light (almost white) and kinda yellowish. I removed those leaves….. but I’m not sure how to prevent it from getting even worse. I’ve been watering per plantas schedule, and I have it close to a window since where I bought it from was in direct sunlight too. Theres a picture of how she looks now and how she looked when I first bought it! Thank you for any help.

My leaves are turning yellow what should I do? Any help would be great 🙂

hi everyone! so i’ve been super busy with work and school and i forgot to move my monstera inside 😭 it’s been really cold the last few days and i’m guessing the plant was shocked by the cold. Didn’t know if anyone had input if it would bounce back, hopefully!?

Ohhhhhh boy This is my money tree (Kendrick Lamar). I got him a week from today . I noticed black dots early on, google said it could be from to little sunlight. Anywho I feel like they are spreading and my leaves keep falling off (1-2 a day). Could it be pests, fungus, or what. I’ve checked the plant and haven’t seen bugs. It’s also been around other plants .Help pls

New leaf Issue (Calathea Beauty Star): I have a new leaf growing in on my Calathea Beauty Star that has some odd damage on the tip. No signs of pests or disease that I see. Previously, in early October I had washed the leaves (one time) with a water/alcohol/soap solution and then spots appeared on the leaves, I think caused by sun damage + alcohol left by the spray. I am unsure if this is related to this, but the new leaf would not have been sprayed. Any ideas what could be the cause? Maybe just mechanical damage?

Went on a one week vacation and when I returned 3 of the leaves if my monsters are browning at the edges, is this a sign of thirps? Or another pest?

Hi friends, my hanging monstera is yellowing on the leaves 🥺 I’m assuming this isn’t good, what can I do?? I haven’t repot it in probably two years, it’s hanging near a window. This happened quickly

Just a little bit of a warning. I was watching one of my favorite plant guys on YouTube. Can’t remember which one. But they said they were using a mix of compost, cocoa coir and perlite as their new potting medium. I tried it. None of the plants I used it on liked it. Lost a few. I’ve gone back to my basic potting soil with additional perlite, amount depending on the plant. Sigh. Probably should stop experimenting. Lol. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Help. My gloriosum be acting up. What am I doing wrong? Haven’t watered her in 2 weeks, in a room 10 ft from a south facing bay window. Recommendations please 🙏
