I have a Meyer lemon tree. I got it a few weeks ago. The smaller lemons are turning yellow and falling off. About two leaves are yellow. Can anyone help?

I just bought this today in hopes of saving it!!
I think it may be a peace lily?? Can anyone give me some idea of what I can do to save it?
I repotted and watered it today. When repotting it the roots were super dry and there was a weird centipede looking bug on its roots.
It’s very droopy and has white streaks :-(
I think for sure that it’s definitely under watered

Hey all!
My polka dot plant has been growing like crazy since I put it closer to a window. I didn’t cut back the leaves because I wanted to see how tall it would get.. (pretty tall!) but now the plant has white flowers popping up. I heard this could mean it’s the end. Is there anyway to save? Would cutting and propagating help?

I purchased this app to help with the sick plant. I don’t find this app. does what it advertises it’s going to do.
Does anyone else have that problem? The commercials show it telling you exactly what to do to save the plant.
I have not found that with this app at all. Am I doing something wrong?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi 👋
I have some new plants that don’t like lime in the water but my tap water is quite hard, anyone suggest the easiest and cheapest way to make my tap water more suitable for these plant babies? Thanks 😊

So I have these ice plant seeds. Honestly they’ve been through a lot - this is my first time growing seeds and I had a few stumbles here and there, mostly the grow light I use kept knocking their pot over. I have about 5 surviving ones and I’m very proud of them!!!
Unfortunately they’ve started looking a little.. sad?? And I’m not quite sure what to do 😰
Some of them were dampening off, so I moved them to a smaller pot with WAY better draining soil to curb that issue. They were looking a little droopy this morning after I repotted them, so I gave them a little water. But now they look worse!! Super dark and droopy! Is there any way I can salvage these babies or should I just give up and get a new pack of seeds? ðŸ˜

HELP! I’ve had this calathea ‘Dottie’ for two months and recently it’s leaves have started to curl up and dry out. I keep it watered regularly and it is in bight, indirect light. I just repotted it today, this pot has drainage holes, and it does not have root rot, but I can’t figure out why the leaves look like this. Someone please help me!? I want it to thrive at my house.

Would you think this is from sunburn or fertilizer burn? Moved my monstera to a new spot (east facing window). Although I think it’s loving it’s new spot because it’s been pushing out new leaves, some of the leaves closer to the window have black/brown tips. Any insight based on these pictures would be appreciated.

All of my plants are thriving except my dot plants 😔 which are also some of my favorites. I’m not sure what im doing wrong, the soil isn’t drying I tried repotting but that seemed to make it worse. I’m hoping to save them. Please help.

So I’ve had my first encounter with mealybugs. Found them yesterday on my Hoya and now on my Alocasia. All the other plants in the vicinity seem to be okay. I’ve treated both with insecticidal soap. Any other suggestions to help kill them?
I’ve used a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution for gnat flies before. Anyone have success using it on mealybugs as well?

Is there still hope for my asparagus fern? He got knocked over twice, and spent at least one day drying out in the floor. Now the soil won’t dry out but as you can see, the majority of the leaves have died. Should I repot him? Or is he too far gone?

Does anyone know why the new growth on my Flamingo Flower is coming in yellow?

There are tiny black flying bugs around my pothos, I have not repotted, any natural suggestions on how to get rid of them without destroying my plants?

I have some new yellow/dried leaves at the bottom of this spider plant. Do I need to repot into a larger pot?

Ok, no matter what I do this little guy does not seem to respond well. Please help … a lot of the stems look and feel healthy but the leaves. Oh the poor leaves. :(

What am I doing wrong? We water everyday like this app reminds me to and it’s still dying. I’m so frustrated! We have another one on the other end of our garden and it’s thriving. Both were planted a day apart, bought from the same spot, and get the same amount of water, yet only this one is dying. Help!
