Please help!! I just bought this cissus discolor a couple weeks ago. It was perfectly healthy when I bought it. But now probably over half the plant is either yellowing or wilting - sorry I know the pics aren’t great. Rookie mistake - but I watered it about a week after I got it & noticed there was no drainage holes after I watered it! So I quickly drilled holes at the bottom once I realized. Not sure if it’s too late if there’s anything I can do to try to save it🥹. Note it’s facing a Northeast window (more east than north). I also bought it from a super humid environment so wondering if it’s in some kind of shock from being moved. I could put it in my ikea greenhouse cabinet but it’s a bigger plant & I’m not even sure if humidity is part of the problem🤔

My poor Aloe Vera has just drooped over the past couple of weeks and I’m not sure why. It’s about 10ft from a window in a room that gets a good 5 hours of light during the day. Watered about once a month. Had it for about 2 years, and only now has this happened, any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi all! I have had this corn plant for six or seven years and I am wondering if there’s anything I can do to help support its growth (it’s sentimental). It is still growing new leaves and flowers once or twice a year. It’s in a pot with drainage holes, but hasn’t been repotted in probably four years. Gets indirect light all day. Let me know your thoughts! Thank you.

Hi! I’ve had this string of pearls for about a month. It was thriving until about a week ago. I included a photo of it when I first got it. You can see it was full and happy. Now it’s almost completely died and I don’t know what to do. It looks like there might be some type of mold/fungus? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I really want to save this plant. ❤️

I brought this juniperus pro nana home in May. I put him on my porch and watered when I was told to by the app. He almost immediately started browning and now looks like the photo below. Please help! Is it the humid environment? Is it dead? First bonsai I’ve owned.

I took down Marge today for a misting and to my surprise quite a few small flies fled the pot. This is the first time this has happened. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I’m wondering what’s going on with my parlour palm. It continuously gets browning leaves. It lives on a window sill (pictured) it gets part sun/part shade. This particular window is located under an overhanging roof, so it is more shaded but when the sun comes around in the afternoon it gets some direct sun. Does it need brighter light to correct this problem? I always check the soil before watering and don’t water unless it’s dry. I don’t see any sign of pests.

I’ve just moved and for some reason all my plants have panicked! A bunch of their leaves are going yellow. I don’t think it’s an overwatering issue because their roots seem ok and they’ve all been repotted at the start of the summer. Any help would be much appreciated! Of note: it’s happening to my monsteras and pathos. They all used to be in a very dark north facing room and are now in a lovely south-west room.

Recently got this Rattlesnake plant & it was doing really well for a while, but the leaves have started turning yellow & brown, some of them died completely. I know they’re sensitive to lime in water & I’ve started using distilled water. I water according to Planta’s instructions & schedule. It has a small humidifier that runs ~4-8 hrs a day. I did fertilize it for the first time & i’m wondering if that could be the problem? Please help!!

Hello! I am having a problem with little gnat’s inhabiting my chinese money plant, snake plant, and monstera. I have tried using Neem oil, but it hasn’t worked. Does anyone know how to get rid of these little bugs?

So, I got my first string of pearls less than two months ago and it was thriving before a lot of the pearls first turned dark green and then withered away. I got a second one that was in poorer shape than the first, and it too has started doing the same thing. I initially thought I might have overwatered it, so I took special care to barely water the second one. How half the pearls are perfectly fine, and half turned dark green and are either shriveled or rotting. I have no clue as to why this happened in succession, please help me identify the cause and treat my rowley PS: in this picture, I plucked out the shriveled strings

I bought this plant about a month ago, and recently some mushrooms have been growing. This plant is a Hylotelephium ‘Coca Cola’, and I wasn’t sure if this is normal, or if I should remove them.

So my Farmers Almanac plant food spikes have started to mold… is this normal? Should I take these out?

Can anyone tell me what these brown splotches on my ficus elastica/rubber plant mean? I just wanna double check that it’s not a sign of something like thrips, edema, or rust. I’m new to this plant, and I believe they all arrived with this on the underside of their leaves, but only noticed it recently on my ficus elastica burgundy, which led me to checking the others and finding the same patterning on them all. Aside from it, they’ve all seemingly been healthy, and all opened new leaves within a week of bringing them home. Please let me know if it’s just a previous watering problem. Any help is very greatly appreciated ☺️.
