Show us your current problem child. Even the best plant parents have one 😉 I'll go first... Name: George Plant: Goeppertia elliptica "vittata" Problem: Yellowing and crispy leaves (not visible because I remove them; I think the leaf to the bottom left is next in line). Also hella infected with fungus gnats 😒 No need to reply with care advice, just giving us a place to vent a bit about our little guys 😂 ![Vedhæftet fil 1 af 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-LWzBLaV5l6nRxSL_4G_JmA3jHTVbU_NyHLK_eXBVJk/5gVVXwfOQHyCnCaQ-XyNdA.webp?size=large) ## 14 kommentarer ### OzPlantGirl kommenterede den 2024-07-09 Ring of fire and two other (unknown) philos. They are in the “hospital” (ziplocked bag) and hoping the recoup. ![Vedhæftet fil 1 af 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/2bfyYTYK9GE0g3IEuuf3vQLsO9OICHGVYdbKwN2E9xg/9tG2plPfT_q2M171g0SIsQ.webp?size=large) #### MikeNeedsMorePlants svarede den 2024-07-09 Get well soon! #### send\_nodes svarede den 2024-07-09 Tip for keeping plants in ziplock bags - blow air into the bag. You can even use a straw to make it puff up. The plants will appreciate the CO2 and it’ll keep the leaves from sticking to the plastic as much ### send\_nodes kommenterede den 2024-07-09 My imported Queen Anthurium. I knew what I was getting myself into (everyone says they’ll drop all their leaves after being shipped) but it’s still sad just looking at this chonk 🤣 ![Vedhæftet fil 1 af 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/JlnStFGeiSPk-PCyka66H2QuqzEW7fvw7GHufjEtqvo/WQ0ttA33Q4GgXi75ztybfQ.webp?size=large) #### MikeNeedsMorePlants svarede den 2024-07-09 I'm surprised it can survive as just a little trunk lol #### send\_nodes svarede den 2024-07-09 Yep lol! As long as it’s firm and not mushy, it’s still alive. It’ll grow new leaves eventually but it’ll probably take around 8 months from what I’ve seen online 😭 #### MikeNeedsMorePlants svarede den 2024-07-10 8 months?! How long have you had it #### send\_nodes svarede den 2024-07-10 About 2 months. It kept its leaves for the first month-ish ### Mdillahu kommenterede den 2024-07-09 My flf driving me nuts haha- can keep harder plants happy but for some reason can’t keep flf happy😅 ![Vedhæftet fil 1 af 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/9SyEVtb5ij1fbi9aDrt46Fmp2j689E3ZdEOz6uz8ZnM/2WDz6GTKSFe8eQUh1gmPng.webp?size=large) #### MikeNeedsMorePlants svarede den 2024-07-09 There's always that one species of plant that you can never care for just right 😪 ### Bean kommenterede den 2024-07-09 This brat Easter Lilly my mom gave me. It keeps turning yellow and dropping leaves. I transplanted it, gave it fertilizer, watered it, let it dry out, followed planta’s advice. Nothing. It wants to be yellow and hate me. ![Vedhæftet fil 1 af 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/PJ08LRZSEAZTg_PJYSwHua61hJ-96g5r8oZx2ha67DE/2JTu4aLcTkuvX34TqcQSbg.webp?size=large) #### MikeNeedsMorePlants svarede den 2024-07-10 What a drama queen haha ### Angelfire kommenterede den 2024-07-10 My heart leaf philodendron is my current problem child. I started it from a two leaf cutting and it had really good roots before I put it in soil and since then half of it has died. I probably need a way smaller pot at this point but I’m afraid to transplant it again. I love the satisfaction from growing new plants from cuttings I’ve done it with a golden pothos and a snake plant several times but I am struggling with this philodendron. Everytime I think I’ve figured it out and it is growing it loses a leaf and will sit like that for weeks before growing a new one. I’ve tried grow lights, watering more, watering less natural sun light. Right now just waiting. ![Vedhæftet fil 1 af 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/US4OCKu0t_-W2Za8BtUuQA5VHtGntB4IgcCln3vuwnI/JqBrOi8YST2Xpk3A5i_8Sw.webp?size=large) #### MikeNeedsMorePlants svarede den 2024-07-10 Caring for plants really is like a science project. Lots of variables to alter! I hope you find the right conditions for this little guy :) --- _Planta-fællesskabet (https://getplanta.com). Alle kan læse med.
