Hey guys, I'm newish to the plant scene and I don't know what's wrong with my lil swiss. She had 1 yellow leaf and one getting yellow, so i thought she needed a bigger pot. She has her grow light, i just repotted her to a bigger pot, did the whole water till it drains and let it drain out, and she still have yellow leaves developing. No root rot, nothing smelled bad, tried to take all old soil out, and she's not happy. What can I do?

Root Rot 😢😩 I have been trying to rehab this plant for a few months and finally decided to repot to look at roots and one stem just totally rotted from roots and other is looking ok. I potted them separately and hoping for a miracle.. any tips? I am new to plant owning and trying my best :) I will include photos for reference! (last photo was what it looked like about a month ago when i began to be concerned)

What is the problem with my Monstera? It sits in a plastic pot with drainage and gets a moderate amount of sun… I’m trying to figure out if I have root rot or something like that.

Is this a fungus? How can I look after my problem child - when I first bought her she was excessively yellowing and drooping her leaves once they fully bloomed. After cutting them all off they regrew perfectly for about two months until now, when now there's black dots appearing. Concerned this is fungus!

Does anyone know how to nurse a string of turtles back to health? It’s been dropping a tong of leaves and whole strings and I’m not sure if it just needs to be fully repotted or what. Please help!

Can anyone help with what’s going on with some of my plants? There’s these yellow/brown spots on some of the leaves and I’m not sure what’s happening. It doesn’t look like there’s any pests (to my novice eyes) and I’m watering according to plantas schedules and they have been doing very well and growing a lot. But maybe over the last month I’ve started to notice these spots and I’m not sure what’s up. Both of these plants are in an east facing window that’s gets a lot of direct sun in the first half of the day.

I don’t know what’s needed for my peace lily. I have an LED lamp over the plant because it not in sunlight. Also, there are little flies in the soil that I thought would go away when repotting but they are back! Please help.

Beneficial bugs or baddies?? There is some decay on this sick (but recovering) plant, so I’m thinking these are just natural detritus bugs, possibly springtails? I’ve quarantined just in case. Any tips appreciated!

Hey all, curious if anyone has ideas for what could be causing this leaf damage on my Goeppertia majestica? It looks like some kind of pest damage to me. Because this plant is on the lowest level of my shelf it could also partially be guttation/water dropping onto the leaves from the plants above it. I have treated all my plants with systemic granules and spinosad in the past due to thrips and I really don’t want this to be a sign it’s not working 😭😭

I have a corn plant (dracaena) I recently purchased in a plastic pot with drainage that I keep in a decorative clay pot. Suddenly I have tiny gnats flying all around it. I put a yellow sticky in the soil and now that’s covered with them. I’ve removed the plant from all my other plants. Suggestions to get rid of these pests or is there something else also going on with the plant?

Can anybody tell me is going on with my Fiddle Leaf Fig? It looks like some kind of pest has munched on it but I’ve never seen any kind of pest on it or any of my other plants. It is only this one specific leaf too. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi everyone. Is something wrong with my Golden Pothos? I’ve had it on my back porch and just moved it in. I noticed there are some small holes in the leaves and some brown on the stem. Can I just let it be? Or is something wrong that I need to remedy? Thanks so much!

My Amazonian elephant ear plant (his name is Betelgeuse) is yellowing. I found out I was overwatering and I reduced the amount of watering but he’s still turning. He also lost several leaves. Does anyone have any input?

I have a German Ivy who was growing like crazy. And needed to be repotted, but I don’t want to repot it again I want it to stay that size how would I do it?

I got this monkey mask about a month and a half ago. The leaves are drooping to the side and she has these massive yellow spots on her leaves. AI says it may be thrips, but I don’t see ANY foreign materials on the leaves at all. I sprayed her down with alcohol and dish soap just in case, but I don’t know if it’s done the trick. Has anyone seen this before?
