It was terribly root bounded and I repotted it to a 1 inch larger pot, but a big deeper. And, like that, within 6 weeks, Pana Ruby decided to end the contract with life #### Brittany replied on 2026-09-23 😩😩 I unalived a $50 hoya in NO TIME ### Jess commented on 2026-09-22 Golden gate peperomia found a month ago on the clearance shelf at Lowe’s for $2 …. I brought her home and the two stubs and single leaf got root rot and are now more 🤣🤣 named her Charlie Brown (after his Xmas tree tree) and hoping for the best!! ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/09R0FtcjMvifVr_ij5QVr2kSFPftiWkkoawnnGQWCHA/8InatyBCQSCBT1A68WwThA.webp?size=large) ### Waspinator commented on 2026-09-22 I have two. Here's my pilea dark mystery (this is actually an improvement. The poor guy had a rough first month with me) ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0aEjxie6sp2j8dSN-ejLnU9dTQl1mR1VekkhDobC1Og/l2WfMVAQRqygn5C9TsVAAA.webp?size=large) #### Waspinator replied on 2026-09-22 And here's my phal. Hiroshima tetratris (seems to be after a terminal bloom). And I'll give an honorable mention to my paphiopedilums. Two of them are slowly sucking the life out of their oldest leaves to fuel new growth, as paphs do. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0aEjxie6sp2j8dSN-ejLnU9dTQl1mR1VekkhDobC1Og/aMCZfYFXSGmEjSq7Ns38JA.webp?size=large) ### Courtney (newbie) commented on 2026-09-22 My spider plant was thriving with sporadic watering in an oversized pot. Started regularly watering it and repotted into an appropriate size for its root ball and now it’s a shell of its former self 🤣 ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/fVFbgdMaQPy3Juh0NWmIJQEpY8f1l5jE-2HZp3cDPX0/ALAeEVbZRwCas_XlwS4f1w.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/fVFbgdMaQPy3Juh0NWmIJQEpY8f1l5jE-2HZp3cDPX0/yXy1wBO4RMO5FW4app2V3w.webp?size=large) #### AnneF replied on 2026-09-23 I repotted my spider and she looked terrible for a long time but has since put out a lot of new growth #### AnneF replied on 2026-09-23 Top is new growth ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/y_KrgRlzWoA_95BDIm9ioseyXXPlkC1g1r2MRCZa4HY/GDwvGRQCSTW1sp0DzKYTMQ.webp?size=large) ### PLANTS!!🪴🌱 commented on 2026-09-22 I chopped and propped her to save her. She’s a bit ugly lol! ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ksubVT6ynomCxb8yYquVPVZiCKNL-h4YOXhDOf6fAhQ/Ppxrs9NaSoOVniFvb_yGYw.webp?size=large) #### PLANTS!!🪴🌱 replied on 2026-09-23 Also this guy ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ksubVT6ynomCxb8yYquVPVZiCKNL-h4YOXhDOf6fAhQ/dXdCHFzjQ_6fvKfqL8_SyQ.webp?size=large) ### Brittany commented on 2026-09-22 😑 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/YeL30Kg5h0BMMs82rk1lYMYIdPExRXdt2ygXZlfuF1k/E_F1RoVvQOS0hXSO3p-7Vw.webp?size=large) ### KeysPlanting commented on 2026-09-23 Convinced aloes hate me ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/98uQKrSbssCj82CKRnRmSHzNWbE_R26pYNEOyazKMHY/ADQkWV6wSa-92YowmFLtFQ.webp?size=large) ### Green thumb novice commented on 2026-09-23 My ugly plant: I inherited a huge jade plant with ugly leaves. I have one that’s just so adorable. This one was kept outside with webs, etc. But I told my MIL I see what I could do. Well after cutting it down into smaller pieces, calloused and finally potted into smaller pots, they look pretty sad. Still ugly left over leaves. I’m hoping new growth will look better. The first one is the original. ![Attachment 1 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/5oZKa7L3GvhlYYBGScVXLMBOPnd5ZLe7B3kLn_3QP8I/s-jFH66YQN2Tf7eKF98G4Q.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/5oZKa7L3GvhlYYBGScVXLMBOPnd5ZLe7B3kLn_3QP8I/eFdmZIDNSW6co7mDw4TI1w.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/5oZKa7L3GvhlYYBGScVXLMBOPnd5ZLe7B3kLn_3QP8I/84KwkvFxSYS5kKkRdpaOOA.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 4 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/5oZKa7L3GvhlYYBGScVXLMBOPnd5ZLe7B3kLn_3QP8I/6tZm-AkbQf2DkSe7yCbJOw.webp?size=large) #### Green thumb novice replied on 2026-09-23 Maybe my heart wasn’t into it.
