My Sansi✌🏻

Hi everyone. I’m really new to this community, and plants in general. I bought a Sansevieria a couple weeks ago, but I noticed it has a brown spot on one of the leaves, where you can see in the pictures. It was already like this, my bad for not checking it before buying🤦🏻‍♂️. Anyways, does anybody know what is causing the brown spot? If so, do you have any advice on how to cure it? Should I cut that bit of the leaf off? Or do I just let time and the plant do their job? Bare in mind that I only watered it once since I bought it, and I’m now waiting for the soil to completely dry out. Thanks!!🍀🍀

Hey y’all! Idk what’s wrong with my golden pothos. I was watering it and realized some of the leaves are turning brown and yellow. I don’t see any bugs on it, it’s in my window, and I water it normally every five days if needed. Please tell me any suggestions you have on how to help my plant 😁

Does anyone know what these marks are on my monstera leaf? It’s a brand new leaf only a few weeks old. It also has similar marks on the stem since the leaf first started unfurling. It’s not bugs or mites just spots. Could it be due to under watering?

I ordered this tradescantia zebrina online about a month and a half ago, and it arrived completely mangled and mostly dead, except for a couple of stems. I ended up trimming off all the dead bits and figured I would try and revive the surviving bits. It has grown some leaves from the remaining stems but I’ve noticed lately that when I water it, there’s a horrible smell coming from the soil. Do you think the roots from all the bits I trimmed off are rotting? If so, what should I do to save the remaining parts of the plant?

hi everyone! i just recently got this pearls and jade pothos, and it was so pretty and green, but when i put it up in my home, it started to get these weird little brown spots? i water it regularly, its pot has drainage, and it gets bright indirect light most of the day. the roots are fine and it’s been reported into a pot that’s about 2” bigger than the original. it sits up high on a shelf about 14 feet from my window. ( my guess might be too much light? ) any ideas on what could be wrong? thank you!! :) (last picture is when i bought it)

Peperomia Problem Hi there, My Ripple Peperomia (Pepperoni) is not living her best life. Her color is fading and she’s getting a little crispy. I think she was getting too much sun so I moved her away from the window. But it could be the cold or dry air. Would love any thoughts?

Are this just the general “finicky” Calathea brown spots? Or do I need to worry about fungus? Someone said yellow rings around the brown means fungus 🤔😱

I’ve been worried about my anthurium. She’s had a few other problems in the past. She’s been creating deformed flowers that either get produced already green, or it’s red spadix is malformed, or it only stays up to the height that it was when it was first produced. Also, some of the leaves are a lighter green, floppy, see-through, and look like something’s been nibbling on them from the bottom. Maybe it’s because she has a fungus gnat infestation?

Hydrangea

We bought this hydrangea on Saturday and it doesn’t seem to be doing great. I repotted it and have only watered it once and it rained today. Not sure what the leaf color means and they are curling up. Any ideas?

We just got this rose bush from a local person that sales them. We have had the rose bush for 2 days going on 3. The first day we got it it was beautiful and not drooping. Yesterday and today it started dropping. We haven’t freaked out and started watering it a lot. We have only watered 1 time since we have gotten it the rose bush does sit in an area where it will get morning sun all the way to about 4:30/5 pm. Any advise as to what we should do would greatly be appreciated.

Having trouble with my philodendron summer glory. I’ve had her for about 2 or 3 weeks, and she seems to be having some trouble. Several of the leaves look like this. Not entirely crispy, but very soft and almost dry. Any idea what’s wrong?

I have this spider plant and it’s growing so fast and healthy, especially after I repotted it about 2 months ago. What I have noticed is it has been leaning over to one side and I don’t like the look of it. A Planta doctor told me I don’t need to repot it and that a support stick would help but I’m just thinking of repotting it into a bigger pot anyway because I feel like the pot itself is kind of small for the plant size. I’m hoping that repotting it will fix this problem. The longest leaf length is about 2 feet in a 5 inch pot. Any advice on what to do ?

I had a small stalk of lucky bamboo growing in a vase filled with rocks and water and the leaves started to turn brown. I chopped off the living piece which is now propagating and has grown healthy roots and I don’t know how take care of it properly. How do I fix the tips of the leaves turning brown and how do I make it grow faster?

Bails

I have a pink princess here, had her for a few weeks and she was doing great, I think I overwatered her. I used the diagnose option and it had said overwatered, so I took it out of the soil to see if it had root rot. It didn’t, I switched it to some dry soil with more drainage but it just seems to be getting worse?? I haven’t watered since the switched soil, and the diagnose is now saying under watered. Not sure what to do! Advice appreciated
