I have a purple tradescantia zebra a and the more it grows the more green it becomes. Is this some kind or variegation reversion or will they turn purple as they get older? I’ve never seen it put out green leaves while in water but now that it’s in soil I’m seeing them more and more
This is ginger. She is a mint plant. ( I named all my mint after other herbs & spices) I had pulled her from the yard to plant, she was with other mint plants (Including my other ones) A few days later her leaves fell and look bad. So I got scared and cut the top half off and watered her. She started to look better again. But I wanted her to be planted with roots. So I taped her top to the bottom to grow back together. I had done it before and it was successful but with a diffrent plant. Any tips? And is it ok for a mint plant to naturally be bent over? Please help and comment!

Does anyone know why my sunflower looks like this :( i water him when planta tells me to and he’s been repotted, out in 8+ hours of sunlight and recently had liquid fertilizer! idk what to do :(

Has anyone ever seen this happen with Coleus? I just bought it and noticed this. It’s super soft, thin, almost like a thin petal in texture, not dried out. It actually shimmers in the light like it’s pearlescent gold or something. The underside looks exactly the same as the top.
Hey everyone! I’ve had this Jade for a couple of months now. I’ve had a few issues here and there, she’s very temperamental about watering. She’s been good for a month or so now. I have my Jade under a grow light and in a north west facing window, but my window has trees right outside and there is another house, so not a lot of natural light gets in (reason for the grow light.) I water her when she’s completely dry and starting to look like the leaves might be droopy. I just noticed these weird brown clusters and spots on my plant however. I have no clue what they are or when they showed up, as I’ve been out of town for a few days. Any advice or answers as to what is wrong with my plant?
Hello! I am wondering if someone can help me with a dying lavender tree. I have only had it for about 2 weeks and repotted with new soil when I got it. It’s on a southwest facing balcony that is mostly covered. I felt the soul down to 4 inches and it doesn’t feel too wet. Is this over or underwatering?
My homalomena has been fine for weeks. In a matter of 48 hours I've lost 2 leaves and it seems 2 more are going down. No new growth. No mites/bugs. Soil is testing a little wet, but I just bottom watered it yesterday. PH is perfect. What would you do??
Help !!! My cats have waged total war on my strawberry plants. They’re planted in planters and since it’s not quite nice enough to plant them outdoors i’ve been carrying them outside every morning and carrying them back inside onto my porch every evening to avoid frost and cold temperatures at night. I’m usually watching my cats around them like a hawk (they love soaking up the sun on the porch), since they have a tendency to eat / mess with my plants. Well, in a poor lapse of judgement this morning, I left them unattended for literally, like, two minutes, in which time one (or both) of my cats have completely demolished all six of my poor strawberry plants’ leaves. Will they be able to bounce back from this?! I’m an emotional wreck right now. They were doing so well and starting to grow some berries! :’( How can I make them less appealing to my cats so this won’t ever happen again?! Any answers are greatly appreciated. Sincerely, - One Broken-Hearted Plant/Fur Momma <\3
Does anyone know what is happening to my Ficus plant? Some of the leaves are yellowing and I don’t know what to do!
Hello! Can anyone help me to understand what is wrong with my Prickly Pear Cactus? I bought this cactus a month ago. When I purchased it, it was all green. Then these brown scars started to appear.
This plant looked absolutely perfect last week and in the span of only a few days atleast half the leaves wilted, turned yellow, and ultimately died… I fertilized it for the first time shorty before this happened with miracle gro liquid fertilizer, coincidence? Any one have any theories?
I’ve had this Syngonium for some time now and i just noticed today it started to have more green spots and some weird darker/ not pink spots on the leaves and i don’t know why. It’s been very rainy in my area so i’m not sure if it’s because there hasn’t been enough sun?? please help!! 😭

New growth on my Monstera seems to become scorched and turns dark. Is this a result of having too much light or what?
