I bought this plant for a science lab and propagated a stem and put it into water. Does anyone know when the roots will start to grown? When should I take it out? The other part is in dirt. Does anyone know if there’s something wrong with it?

I’ve had this plant for a long time and I just recently noticed that something is eating the leaves, I’m thinking its fungus gnats and larvae. Should I spray the soil with a hydrogen peroxide solution? What do you think?

Hi! So I took a Hoya home from work because it looked brittle and like it was not doing well. In the process of down potting it, several of its branches broke off so I put them into water hoping I could do something (?) with it. Anyway the ones with roots look like this and I would love any information on how get it back to being happy.

What is wrong with my peace Lily? It’s being super dramatic. I watered it a week ago now (it was droopy like this, and a few leaves started to yellow). And it perked back up. Then a couple days ago it was super droopy again, and I figured hey maybe it needs more water. Top layer of soil was dry. Watered it a little bit. And when I get home-still droopy! In a well draining, new soil (coco coir, perlite, charcoal, orchid bark mix). It usually resides near a grow light. I got it 3 weeks ago and haven’t fertilized it yet, could that be it!? What do I do?

Hi can anyone help with this English ivy? It’s been thriving the whole time I’ve had it, growing fast and super full and bushy. All of a sudden it started looking super frail and not very full, it’s dropping leaves like crazy. I keep a watering globe in it most of the time since it’s so hard to water it with all the foliage it had. I’m not sure what happened

Hi does anyone have any care tips for elephant ears? I’ve struggled so much with the plant. For a while the leaves were yellowing and dropping and now they’re getting brown at the tip and it’s just looking week. I repotted it shortly after getting it as the roots were coming out the bottom on the pot and just a few weeks after putting it in a bigger pot the roots are already growing out of this one too. I’ll take any help with this guy!

My Flamingo Flower has been having issues with its leaves yellowing and browning around the edges. I repotted it about two or so months ago, which has helped, but it is still having some issues. Any thoughts? If it helps any, it is located about four feet away from an east facing window and is in a pot with a drainage hole.
