hi plant people! this is my first ever plant child and I'm a little concerned because while I think there are new leaves growing at the ends/top, there are a lot of dried up brown leaves towards the bottom. you can kind of see in this picture that I took of it about a week ago. it looks a little bit worse now but the ends of it are more purple and still growing. planta told me this was a turtle vine but I bought it at trader joe's and it was unmarked so please let me know if you have any advice! i don't want my first plant to die and want it to be happy

(Pls help)question about self watering
So I bought a china doll plant from Lowe’s and it’s self watering with a string. (I’m very new to plants) so for now I made a setup where the string dangles in a few inches of water but the whole string isn’t covered. anyways, the top of the soil is very wet already but the plant looks healthy, I just feel like it’s way overwatered and I feel like I’m gonna mess up the “self watering” thing. Is there any specifics I’m missing? Is the soil supposed to be this wet when self watering? Do I always keep the string in water? ATP I just wanna repot it and water it normally unless anyone can give me advice😪

So I decided to put my dwarf Alberta spruce that's in a 5-gallon bucket outside right now but it's like 48° F , I know they can tolerate a lot of cold but it's not used to it it's used to my 65° house LOL I also put it on the East side so it and acclimate for a few weeks before I put it in full sun, I feel like when I put it in full sun a few weeks ago when it was warm for a minute that it sort of fried it's needles, my husband's having a fit because he wants it in full sun in the front yard and my tripping can it go in full sun and also the app saying it's too cold outside should I bring it back in it's going to be in the thirties tonight?, x 😩🩵🌲

So the app is telling me to fertilize my baby red Earth star (looks pink to me tho🧐🩷) every couple days, and I'm wondering if that is a little excessive and also I have it in my dragons vivarium in the same planter as a baby snake plant which I know doesn't appreciate a lot of fertilizer so what should I do separate the plants, or heavily dilute the fertilizer? I keep snoozing the fertilizing notification but it's stressing me out 😩🙏🪴 they seem to be doing okay under this t5 10.0 bulb

Planta is telling me to water my birds nest fern every day- is this correct?

My never never plant seems to have the leaves curling in on itself. Now I think that it could be down to dehydration, however I am adhering to the schedule. Could it be too much daylight now that the sun is getting warmer in a westerly facing window? It will be great to hear people's thoughts.

Excited to use this app to keep all these plants happy. We have terrible ground “soil” so I’m limited to using pots but happy to see them doing well

Looking for advice on my rubber plant!
I bought this rubber plant from Costco about a month ago and placed it in a bright spot near south-facing windows. Since it’s Feb/Mar, the light isn’t super intense. Within the first two weeks, the top two leaves developed spots. I did a bunch of Googling, but didn’t find anything helpful—lots of conflicting info.
Based on the situation, I’m guessing it’s sunburn. The plant came from a dark warehouse, had a big environment change, and only the top two leaves (getting the most direct light) are affected. I moved it to a shadier spot, but it feels too dark for a rubber plant. Now that it’s had a month to adjust, I’m thinking of slowly moving it back to the brighter spot.
Has anyone had this happen or know if this is sunburn? Is it a good idea to move it back to the sunnier spot now that its had time to adjust? Would love some advice!

Why is planta so water-happy?
Like it must always be monsoon season with the water schedule it gives. I sometimes wait 10 or 15 days after it recommends watering before I feel they are ready.
It’s nice to be reminded to go and check on a plant, but is there any way to make this more accurate?

Hello! I bought this plant with a slight lean but now the lean seems to be getting even worse. It looks close up like it’s pulling out of the pot. Any suggestions on how to correct this? I tried to have it face sunlight in the opposite direction to try and straighten it out but that hasn’t worked.

Hey all! So I’ve had this sedum for almost a year, got it in a much smaller pot and have recently repotted it. Since I’ve had it it it’s grown really well and the green parts look really healthy, but once each little branch has grown out enough all of the green near the base dies, and it only stays green and healthy at the tip of each one. I thought it would help repotting it but it hasn’t. Any tips??
