So I have this Jade Succulent that I got as a gift 3-4 years ago and it’s been doing okay up until this year. I recently repotted it last week and the roots were very small. Today when I went to water the plant, I found that there’s a lot of new growth at the ends of the stems but the bottom of the stems are all dry and shriveling up. Is my plant dying? Should I try cutting off the new leaves and propagate them?
Indoor plants, little flying gnats. Probably from too wet soil which I am correcting. But in the meantime is there anything I can do to get rid of them?
My best friend left me her plant to baby sit while she was gone and her cactus is looking very dull, droopy, and wrinkly. Do any cactus lovers out there know the issue with this one? My hopes are to revive it by the time she comes back but I can’t rush progress.
i have this alocasia dark star, and it will never host more than three leaves. the eldest of the three leaves always quickly yellows and sags just after it’s pushed out a new leaf. even if i prop the leaf up, it always dies eventually. i’ve lost a total of about 5-6 leaves so far and just can’t get more than two healthy leaves at once. what is going on!?!?
What does this look like to you? It’s on the bottom of the leaves. I washed them off with alcohol but that’s what’s left. They look raised. I’m going to quarantine it anyway, but my eyes just aren’t good enough to figure it out.
Any idea what could be causing this brown spot on my elephant ear?
What is happening to my philodendron?? No pests. Developing yellow spots on leaves. Bought at Trader Joe’s, had low expectations from the get go.
Should I cut off the brown and yellow leaf? Sadly she doesn’t have that many left.

Hello! My Ivy plants leave are really dry and the soil is really wet. She isn’t doing well. The pot has drain holes and is about 1 foot away from a window for sunlight that has shade. So not direct sunlight all the time. Looking for advice TYI:)
Morning! So I noticed this recently on my ZZ plant. I currently have her indoors not really getting sunlight. Should I put her out side? Also how many times a week would any one recommend watering? I’m so new to this I just don’t want to mess up. Thanks 🙃
I purchased plants over the weekend along with potting soil and planted them in a pot. I have done this before and every plant died. Any ideas as to why this happened and how to prevent it from happening again?
This is a spider plant that my cat keeps eating anything green on it. It’s trying to grow again any suggestions on how to keep it away from my fur babies? Hanging isn’t an option because I rent.
Hi! I got a string of pearls plant a little over a month ago and ever since I brought it home, it’s just kept dying more and more. I follow the Planta watering schedule and only barely watered it twice in the last month. I just don’t really know best practices for taking care of this plant. Any help/advice is appreciated! I may just throw this one out and get a new one and try to find better ways to take care of it. I don’t think it’s gonna come back, here’s a pic of when I got it compared to today
I’m trying to figure this out and I can’t find any reference pictures matching what my jade looks like! Anyone have any ideas on what could be happening??
Is this normal? My neighbor told me I should cut this part off.
Hi everyone. I tend to overwater my plants a lot and I was just wondering what I can do to help my plants thrive again. Currently, my Swiss cheese vine, golden pothos, and calathea have yellow leaves but I want to help them out! I have tried spacing out my watering but it hasn’t seemed to help yet. Side note- When the leaves have fully gone yellow, I cut off. I am not sure if these plants are overwatered but that is what I have come to because of the yellow leaves.
I’m fairly new to the prayer plant/lemon lime maranta, and so I’m wondering if this is normal. I ordered this plant online. It came in good shape and seems to be doing well. It was growing vertically. I have it in an East facing window, facing towards the window. But it keeps growing almost backwards, and almost horizontally, like leaning backwards almost. Is this bad or should I do something for it? Turn it around so it’s facing away from the sun? Get it a moss pole? Or just stop worrying about it? It seems to be doing fine and pushing out new growth, so I’m not too concerned, but just wanted to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong.
