Hey everyone! This is my Ponytail Palm Jenny, is it okay that those leaves are significantly lighter and softer than her other leaves? Is that normal?

I’ve had this guy for a few weeks. Does he look like he’s doing okay? I heard it’s an intermediate plant and can be tricky. I’m really anxious

Is my frosty fern a goner? I got it before Thanksgiving break and when I left, I left it in its nursery pot and gave it a good long soak. When I came back it was wilted and not happy (first picture!). I gave it a lot of water and TLC for a few days and then moved it to regular pot with drainage in hopes that it would help to retain more water and bounce back (because it was definitely under watered even though I was only gone for 6 days). It’s been I think a week or two now and it’s looking more brown and dead (second picture). Can I cut it back and will it come back? Or is it a lost cause? The last picture is what it looked like when I got it!

My corn plant has been struggling since the summer time. I recently just looked at the dirt and saw mold. Is this a problem? What do I do to solve to mold problem? How do I make it happy again where the leaves don’t look sad? How do I get the stem to not fall over? I have a chopstick tied with yarn to keep it up but it doesn’t seem sturdy enough. Thanks in advance!

This has been quite hardy for a year. Now leaves are just falling off and are sticky on the back. 4 weeks between the two pictures. I haven’t brought any new plants in the house. Is this normal? Do I have some crazy pest?

The largest leaf of my plant - its edges have become soft and the tip is browning and curling… is this just the natural life cycle for these leaves or something else??

I have these two fiddle leaf figs and they’re both struggling a little bit. The smaller one has leaves that are very wilty and the rest fell off the other stem. The larger one was left with a friend and was underwatered for a bit, which I think is the cause of the crispy leaves. But I just spread to a new leaf, so I want to be sure. Any advice?

My poor ficus is struggling. Its leaves are yellowing and some have brown spots. Under the leaves are faded. We keep it near an east-facing window. Does anyone have any tips on what’s going on w it or what the right conditions are for it?

Hey guys, this is our office plant, one of the staff manners gave it topo Chico once, and now it’s kind of dying idk if it was the topo Chico, but what can we do? I feel maybe it’s overwatering from the bottom and the leaves are rooting, but I don’t wanna put it outside and damage it w the sun.

My orchids leaves are leathery and wilting. The flowers are dropping. It was overwatered for a while, but I just repotted it into orchid bark about a week ago. Any idea what could be wrong?

I got this beautiful Pink Nerve Plant, and I know they can be quite finicky. Does anyone know if these small white circles (2nd photo) are normal for it’s foliage? It doesn’t seem like fungi or pests, and everything else with the plant is fine. There’s new leaf growth as well (3rd photo.) Should I be worried or am I a helicopter plant parent? Lol

Can someone help me figure out what’s going on with my zebrina? There seems to be a lot of yellowing, I’ve changed the mix into a more chunky one, and removed any rotted roots. I also don’t want this plant to die :( #alocasiaproblems

This poor thing has had it rough. It used to have three leaves and now I don’t think it’s gonna make it but when I looked up what to do to fix the leaves dying, it said I was over watering it but I haven’t been watering it and it still looks like this, was I doing something wrong?
