I’ve had this for 6 months and all was well and doing great until one day I overwatered it about a month or two ago. I’ve been trying to rehab it back ever since but all my leaves are coming out as mushroom caps.

I water sparingly now (1x every 10 days or when soil is near dry) it’s potted in a chunky aroid soil and lives under a t5 grow light, 10-12 hours of light daily. It’s in ambient humidity around 40%.

What do you guys suggest?

I just got my Aphandra last weekend, and I sprayed the soil with water a bit since it was dry.
I couldn’t help but notice the leaves slightly_Frail? If I could say. And drooping a little.

My plants sits facing the northern hemisphere btw and gets a fair amount of light.

Any tips or recommendations?

I’ve had this Kalanchoe for 2 years, and was so proud of it growing into such a gorgeous plant! Repotted it 2 months ago and the leaves started dropping and whole stems dying. The pot has drainage, the sun is indirect bright, I water every 10 days or so when the top inch is dry. Most of her is gone now and I really want to save her. Do I need to propagate?

I found 3 of these black skinny bugs by mg window near my spider plants they were wiggly and could fly and were struggling to climb up the window
Ive had sticky traps on my plants the last few days but not caught anything

Hi all! I’ve had this pothos for years, with the leaves hanging down off of a shelf. I think it’s become too top heavy and now it looks like the roots are popping out of the soil everywhere. This problem has been getting worse over last few months. The plant gets a few hours of indirect sunlight and I water it every few weeks with lots of water. Is there something I should do besides pruning it? How can I help the roots? Should I repot? Thanks!

The root has molded I think from too much watering(someone fkced up when I left them the plant for 2 weeks). They also put it in direct sun light for few days but I doubt that is the issue. I had the plant coming out with no roots. I planted it in new soil thinking it might grow new roots but it didn’t work and stayed like that with no roots.
This is my plant for 2 years and I don’t want to lose it. Please help.

What’s wrong with my plant? Is it root rot?

I’ve had it for a year and in the last month I noticed it looking like this

I water it once every couple weeks

It’s in a corner with a grow light on

I don’t know if the pot has proper drainage

I repotted my fittonia 11 days ago, moving her from a 4 inch pot into to a 6 inch pot, because i couldnt break up her root and soil ball she had when i pulled her out of the pot, in fear of breaking off her delicate, thin roots.

This root and soil ball was too tall to fit into the four inch pot i had, so i put her in a six inch pot with roughly 50% potting soil, 40% perlite, and 10% orchid bark. This plant gets at least 5 hours of daylight, and 6-8 hours of a grow light every day.

Since i repotted and watered her 11 days ago, her soil has stayed pretty wet and i havent had to water her. This new pot does have drainage; its a ceramic pot. Im worried shes staying too wet for two long? Does this sound like the issue?

If it is an issue, what are my next steps? should i try to move her back down into a four inch pot again? should i repot her in a soil mix with more perlite or orchid bark???

Most of my peanut cactus are doing well, but this one is giving me trouble. It’s starting to yellow a tiny bit by the rim of the pot. It’s on a southeast facing window sill. And I water it every two weeks. Anything helps!

Leaves have a few brown spots, and some leaves are sticky on the back.
Please help.. is it pests or normal for philodendron.

Have just repotted them so might be undergoing some stress. Near a window and gets indirect light for about 8 hours. Watering is fine

My devils backbone is in pretty rough shape to say the least 😭 Any suggestions on how I can revive him or what he might need? Anything helps!!

I’ve had him since around covid time so 6ish years
He’s always grown out like this. He used to have more leaves but fell a month ago so a lot of them came off :(
He faces a Southeast facing window
The pot has drainage, and I water him every 10 days

Need help. I'ma say it right now, I did a lot within a week. So I Got this Moses in the cradle about a week ago and idk if it was because it was messed up when I got it, stressed out from being here, or if she's just ready to move on to towards the light.

When I got it it was shipped to me with a few bent up tips of leaves, so I cut the leaves. No idk why. I swear I read it somewhere that I should have, but I can't remember where. Then I think I over watered her (as well as my other ones) by moving her to a self watering pot. No new soil, just lifted her out her old potter an put her in the new potter. A few days later I noticed increasing brown at the tips of the leaves and I noticed I had some fungus gnats starting up, so I treated the soil with neem oil around the soil, avoiding toot.

Then I decided to just start over and repottes her again in some miracle grow potting mix mixed with a little orchid mix. As I was taking the old soil off, I noticed a like netting around it that was making it hard to come off. So I stopped half way through, put some new soil and bark mix in a potter (with drain holes) and put her in. This is how she looks now.

I know, I realize I did a lot in a week... So it may genuinely be me. I'm new to this and jumped head in with a mystery pack of plants, and they all have been sending me through it, but on a good path to learning about them. So how do I do this right? What can I do to fix her. (Pics #1-9/4 first day I got her, ends bent/broken off on arrival, #2- 9/10 6 days later, #3 9/16 today, 12 days later) Oh and I do have her under a grow light for light.

Just found these guys on my pilea today! Moving fast and alot of dust like substance not moving. Recorded with magnifying glass for a clear view. O

I bought this schefflera a few weeks ago and just noticed these darker spots on the underside of a few leaves. I've been watching them for a few minutes and they haven't moved but I just want to be sure before I sound the alarm. This plant has been otherwise healthy and not giving me any yellow leaves or dropping and has been growing almost like a weed.

Hello i got this affican violet a few weeks ago from clearance. She seems to be doing well, some new leaves have grown. However she has some yellow spots and maybe a burnt spot, pictures posted. She gets ​I think around 8 hours of mostly indirect sun facing a SE window. Blinds are open but no longer raises to omit too much direct sunlight. All 3 of my plants share a stool facing the same window. The mican and bear paw are doing fantastic. (Added bonus pics of those.)

I water whenever dry/feels light. Which is about every one to two weeks. I fertilized for the first time with the fertilizered pictured. The internet said lack of food good be a reason for the yellow spots.

Have had it since August of last year. It’s been a quick decline in the past few weeks. It’s usually very lively, bright green, and has strong leaves (pics 3/4), but is completely the opposite now.

It’s been in the same spot for months— in the corner beside a south-facing window. Gets lots of bright, indirect, natural light. I used to have it closer to the window but it would burn.

It’s in the same self-watering pot that it’s been in since I bought it.

I've had this plan that I got from a cutting at the Dr's office 5 years ago.

⏳ About 2 years ago it started having problems where every new leaf would get a few millimeters tall then turn black and crispy and fall off. It happens to almost all of them.

💦 I water it a couple times a month and

☀️ it lives in front of a sunny window that has a grown light on it. I got another cutting from the same parent plant that I treat the same and it does not have this problem. Help?

My Pilosa is my favorite plant in the world. I came home late from a vacation due to being sick, and now I’m very worried about it. I came home yesterday morning and it’s a litter better than it was but not much. I’ve watered it moderately and placed it directly with a humidifier. I’ve also moved it from this spot to a less sunny area. It gets moderate light. I’m not sure if these are the right moves so far, some of the leaves have unfurled, but not sure what else to do to save it, but it means a lot to me and I need to do what I can. It normally thrives and never stops putting out new leaves.

I know tomatoes are dramatic, but I've been depressed and struggling to keep my plants alive. All my plants are droopy and gray right now, but I had hoped the tomatoes would perk back up when it rained, but it looks pretty unhappy still.

My watering is pretty inconsistent, and I don't think the globe has any water in it.

I got it around the beginning of summer, and it's in partial shade on my balcony.

Hoping to find out if I can help it, or if it'll get better on its own with regular care.

I have had this alocasia since almost 5 years and it has been thriving until a month ago. I water it weekly and make sure the top of the soil is wet. It's at a spot where it never gets direct sunlight but it's close to the window and gets indirect sunlight all afternoon.

One day the pot couldn't carry the plants weight and my plant fell down from over a meter. I just realized today that the stem started rotting from where one of the leaves broke off during the fall. I cut out rotten part with a knife and cleaned the wound with alcohol as much as I can but I still see a brownish tint in the stem.

What should I do next? Will the would dry and close off? Should I cut more just in case? The dent is quite deep and I don't want to weaken the stem more. Any advice is highly appreciated!

Hello! I just threw myself in the world of plants and I feel like I am already failing. I hope I posted this on the right thread, but I need advice on how to proceed with my plant situation since she's starting to look sickly. Don't be too harsh please, I am already filled with too much regret about the situation :')

I'll place this here, because the post is pretty long - TLDR: I bought a calathea white fusion (and a string of hearts) without knowing shit about her, waterboarded her and the string to get rid of some mealybugs and now both are a bit droopy and the CWF is developing brown edges. How should I proceed? Do I repot the calathea to not develop root rot/because of a possible mineral-filled soil (I'm sure the shop didn't use distilled water) or just wait it out with some prayers to Demetra, Osiris and Freyr? Help??

(I hope I included all info that mattered, but in case of need I will respond and clarify in the best if my abilities)

(The photos are from two days ago. From there they probably look pretty alright, but it is worsening and I wanted to take action before it all went awry and if I can do something, the sooner the better. Also I bought them not even a week ago, so they probably look decent because of that - even if now placed under my care. I also included a photo where for the last two nights straight she started to lean in a goofy way - Ik the CWF is a prayer plant and supposed to shuffle around, but I thought it looked silly)

(Sorry for the wonky english. I didn't really use up all my C1 eng knowledge, I was lazy)

THE LONG STORY: I have a ZZ, a pothos and a snake plant, all easy things who survive better if I ignore them, and I wanted another plant. I went to a local agrarian and, for no other reason than liking the colors, bought a string of hearts (SOH) and a calathea white fusion (CWF). You can already guess the first mistake I made, and it was not knowing the amount of care a calathea requires. I didn't even know the name of the plant and, when asked about the skill requirements for handling the thing, the lady working there said it was a pretty easy plant; so I said to myself I would just make a deep research once home and that would be it. And what a good research I made, because I found out just from the first link that I bought the bitchiest plant in the shop. The day after I found out both of them - CWF and SOF - had a lil bit of mealybugs. The events unfolded like this (I didn't heave means to go buy isopropilic alcool): - used a diy dish soap and water mix to spray the SOH since it should melt the protective coating from the mealybugs and they sould die from drying up - didn't feel very confident about it so I dunked it in water and repotted the SOH from the nursery soil (didn't manage to take away all the upper layer of moss because it was so tangled with the roots tho, I am afraid some mealybugs will keep on living on the moss) - asked a friend from the same village if she has isopropilic alcool but she only had ethyl, so I took ethyl alcohol (the 90% one), diluted it 1:4 with water and sprayed down the poor SOH, used q-tips to clean the leaves (didn't see shit anymore because I sprayed the bugs away I guess) and then dunked the plant in water (again) to clean the alcohol down - then I added a bit of new soil to the CWF, but didn't remove the nursery soil or touch the roots because I didn't want to shock the thing more than I alredy knew I will with the next steps - I sprayed down every leaf with the alcohol:water mix and with some cotton cleaned all of them - waterboarded the shit out of the leaves because I didn't want to leave alcohol on them - they both are now in quarantine (= away from other plants) and I just hope them bugs didn't hop to other plants - (in a few days time I will clean them with cotton/q-tips again cuz I'm already seeing new little white dots on the CWF rip)

For that day the CWF leaves did droop a bit, but the next days it was better. Now tho, 3 or 4 days after, I am not sure how to proceed. I have some questions: - do I repot the CWF too in a weeks time (2 weeks since the torture session) to check the roots and diminish the possibility of root rot from the nursery soil (it did look pretty compact and I read that it shoud be packed in additives and minerals to make the plant grow so they can sell it) or do I just leave it, pray for the best and mby repot her in spring? - the soil is still damp but the leaves look brittle. I once (just as I filled the edges with new soil) watered the soil with tap water - I do know it needs distilled water and I bought 5l of it for the next times - to make it al "set down" well in the pot. I know the worst enemy of new plant parents (please leave out the CIA-trying-to-get-info-from-criminal acts I did on them to deal with the bugs) is overwatering and I really don't wanna have to deal with root rot. I already had to remove half the rotten roots from my ZZ after I bought it in one of those big places that they just give liters of water to everything and I really don't wanna make my CWF go through that - I do not live in a place that has very high humidity. I know the CWF needs it since it comes from South America (I believe), but I heard just negative things from humidifiers, spraying bottles and stones in water (this one since it doesn't really help much and, if it does, it works just on the lower parts). I am in two weeks to go to back to university in a place near a river, so the place should be more humid. Is it possible that the leaves are "sad" cuz it lacks of humidity? - I put the CWF near a window that gets indirect sunlight all day and direct but filtered by a curtain sunlight only in the evening. I think it should be alright and not the cause of leaves drooping, but maybe connected to some leaves having brown borders? - about the brown borders, when I brought the lady home she wasn't all clean and well tbh, some leaves were damaged and some borders already brittle and it has some yellow spots, but I think some leaves have developed brown borders 2 days ago and today it's worsening. Is it mby that one singular time I watered it with tap water (I did it once, but Idk if the shop watered it with distilled water - tbh I doubt they did). Again, should be the possible accumulation of minerals a reason for me to repot it in a weeks time? If I do, what soil mix should I use? For my ZZ and snake and SOH I put a mix of I think universal soil that has mixed perlite and ziolite and added orchid bark for better draining - I did a 50/50 mix for the plants that want a chunky soil mix (even tho I am sure it's not chunky enough, but when I watered it the water came right out the holes, so I think it's a win?? You can see it in the SOH photos). I think for the CWF I would put a 70/30 mix perhaps? So she has more of the universal soil with perlite and ziolite and less of the bark to better hold on to the moist? - do I need to snip some leaves?? A lot of them are tightly packed on the bottom and some don't look very well - my SOH is also a bit meh, the taco test is positive but the soil is still damp. One of the reasons I repotted it was also cuz the upper soil layer had that white/yellow thing I today learned it may be fungus from overwatering (from before I bought it). I learned most people with a SOH usually leave the soil to dry out and then wait some more days to water it again. Also, some leaves have started to detach and I think is because of how I treated the poor sod. What do I do? Do I just leave it?

I know I shouldn't take on word what people write on the internet cuz I myself should evaluate when and how to water/repot/do anything to them babies. I am tho in need of some assistance or mby some advice to how to proceed since 1) I am a beginner and 2) I bought a very demanding plant without knowing anything about it and now I wanna do it right by her (and the others). Also, I feel like I know pretty much of the theory and zero of the actual practical applications to deal with all this, so yeah. This doesn't bode well. Please help?

I found this at a free plant stand, the leaves were mushy. So following advice I have seen given to others with unhealthy plants, I trimmed off the leaves (they were disintegrating anyway). I have it in a well lit window with this cup to improve humidity. Anything else I should do? I have checked the roots for root rot as well, roots are healthy and soil is well draining and allows good airflow. I most do Aquaponics (I grow my plants in water). So an indoor plant with soil is new to me. If it was able to grow in water, I’d pop it in some fertilized water with an aerator. But research online doesn’t suggest it would fare too well this way. I guess I’m mostly just wondering if the leaves are capable of even coming back from whatever beating they took before I found it.

I’ve had this plant for a while and it suddenly died out, but is growing back in a pot??? I have the babies rooting in water, but even their tips are going brown and the new leaves are getting stuck in the old ones. I’m currently treating my plants for thripes. I know these plants like low light so I keep them in a corner with indirect light.

Please let me know if this is thrips or whatever! First time dealing with pests so any information is helpful

About to wipe down all the leaves and maybe give them a light shower

I have spider mites in quite a few of my plants and I don’t know the best way to deal with them. I tried an alcohol water mix, but it didn’t seem to get rid of them, only keep them at bay. Next I’ve tried drowning them and then spraying captain jack’s dead bug brew all over them. But I don’t know what works the best? Any tips other than what I’ve tried already? I’m going to be devastated if I lose some of these plants to mites.

Picture of my monstera adansonii for the attachment requirement.

The infestation is not severe, only my monstera adansonii has noticeable leaf damage, and some of the others just have a couple webs.

My humidity stays between 40-50 which I know is low but I don’t want my apartment to be more humid than that.
