I need help. I pulled this out of a dumpster years ago and it had already been badly pruned and abused. It’s been going strong for me for years but in the last few has gotten leggy, the leaves on these two leggy branches are one by one falling off, and now the middle part is kinda knotted. I’ve pruned some branches back that were earlier to see where a node is and had success. I want to prune these two leggy branches WAY back but I’m scared and I don’t know how far back I can prune it. Any one been through this? Any advice is welcomed! I can add more pics if it’s too hard to tell from these.

Can anyone tell me why my monsteras leaves are curling ? She gets about 2 hours of direct sunlight daily but most gets indirect sun, and she gets watered every Sunday. Could it be due to either of these ?

Edit: added a picture of the back of the leaves to show that the spots go through. Checked the roots and they look fine. No rot and not root bound. Hi, wondering if anyone knows what’s going on with my calathea peacock. I can’t seem to find a place that it likes.

Hi. New to growing plants and I have a couple of questions about my tradescantia plant. I can see little white bugs in the soil and dirt like spots on the leaves. I am not sure what to do or if this is normal but the tips of the leaves are turning brown and I don’t want it to get too bad before it cant come back from it. Any help would be appreciated.

Little worried the growth on my rubber plant has massively slowed down, although it’s still growing. There’s a 3 day difference in the photos but do the roots look ok? They look burnt to me. Pretty sure this isn’t normal as I’m sure they didn’t look like this before but I don’t have pics. Any advice will be gratefully received, thank you.

hey guys, any idea what these white spots on my monstera are? not sure if it’s being caused by pests, though atm that’s my theory. but i have been unable to wipe away any of the white marks i’ve seen on the underside of the leaves. all leaves except the very newest are curling or twisting too. i don’t know what to do!! i’m spraying her down with neem oil a few times a day in case it’s a pest, but if it’s not i have no idea what it could update: repotted her, had some small roots rotting due to some of the old, not good drainage soil clumped in the root ball. hope that will resolve what seems to be a watering issue with the leaves curling/twisting.

My pothos recently grew a leaf that died very quickly (which ended up falling off). The little sprout on the inside also looks dead, and I don’t know if my plant will be able to keep growing since it was the most recent leaf or if I can save it. Help!

I just received my Monstera. I notice these marks but they are only on this leaf. Can anyone help me identify what it is?

I just bought this plant off of a FB group, I got 5 in total and this one looks like the only one with a problem. I’m fairly new to plants so I wanted some advice on what this could be? Is it just from incorrect care or some disease/pest that I should be worried about spreading to my other plants?

All of my umbrella trees new leaves keep turning black and dying. I have no idea what’s going on, but it gets indirect sunlight all day with 30-60 minutes of direct when the sun sets. It could be the watering since I try to water my plants when the leaves look a bit wilty, but this one’s leaves usually feel pretty stiff always. Any help is appreciated!! :)

My string of rubies is showing these odd spots in the joints and along the stems. Any idea what’s going on here?
