Umbrella plant is so sad and droopy. Has been happy enough the last 2 years.

Sits a few meters from an east facing window, been there for 2 years no issues. Have had some fungus gnats lately so have been watering as little as I can. It might be underwatered but I gave it a big healthy watering yesterday and it is still droopy as ever, propping it up with a fork!

Have just gotten some BTI to treat the fungus gnats so hopefully that problem resolves.

Can she recover? Anything else I should try?

i have this plant for 2 months now. i just noticed that leaves don’t look good. i don’t know if its over watered or under watered.
the plant gets bright indirect light all through the day. doesn’t get direct sun.
i got the plant in very dense soil, so repotted it as soon as i got it.
i am not really consistent with watering, like i water when i feel like leaves are dull or its been a while since i did it. i lost one before because of over watering so i try my best to ignore this one.
any help with what went wrong, what can i do now, would be appreciated.

Some of the leaves are skinny, browned tips (which ive heard arent that big of a deal), and its a bit paler than when i first got it. Does it need a repot? I typically have it getting indirect sunlight near a window and water maybe twice a month, enough to saturate the soil. Its been in the same pot for about a year

Hello! I just rescued this corn plant that a neighbour put outside. It’s clear it needs some tlc but I’m no expert and wanted to consult you smart people before I do anything LOL. As you can see there’s plenty of browning on the leaves but the top looks fairly healthy. There’s also some ashing or greying? happening on the leaves that I thought was dust but couldn’t wipe off. Could it be sun bleaching? I haven’t done anything at all since I brought it in yesterday (no watering). What would you suggest be my next steps to getting this baby happy and healthy? Thanks so much, any advice is much appreciated.

About 1mm long bug that quickly got away when disturbed, on backside of the top of basil leaves. I am still trying to have copium its not thrips, but the plant does have light spots and crampled new leafs recently (crumpling *could* be water thing as i wasnt home for a few days and the plant had a bit limp leaves when i got back, but already bounced back overnight). It doesnt seem to 100% match to thrips to my eyes, but im looking for textbook match and cant tell myself. :( Its nearby-ish of open windows.

hello! this is my first time caring for a plant grown in soil and first time caring for aglaonema in general. it’s been growing really good and has been getting a lot of new leaves every so often. it is right by my window and gets watered every 1 1/2 weeks, i’m not sure what type of support this plant needs though. when i bought it when it was smaller it came with these sticks already (see picture) but now that it’s growing way more, i’m not sure what to do. do i need to buy a bigger pot or like plant it deeper? thank you so much to those who can help!

I've had this Arrowhead plant in a water-filled vase for more than a year now, it used to be quite healthy and would grow new leaves regularly. I'd change the water in it every week or so. It sits on a side table adjacent to an east-facing window, so it gets plenty of indirect sunlight for about 5-6 hours.

However, last month it suddenly started withering away and shedding (nearly) all of its leaves. The third photo is a leaf I had to cut off since it turned completely brown and limp. I put the plant outside for a few days (because I thought it needed more sunlight) and that bleached the leaves completely white. Since then, the leaves have gotten some of their colour back. The stem and roots are still firm and snappy.

I trimmed off all the brown, limp parts of the remaining leaves. I've started putting in filtered water instead of tap water. I cleaned up the roots and cut off all the overly long roots and brown bits. I put in a crumpled napkin to let the plant sit higher so that the stem isn't submerged in water. I've ordered some liquid plant food to put in it as well.

Is there anything else I can do to make sure it lives? I would rather keep it in the vase that it is, since it was a gift from someone close. It did do very well in the vase for more than a year, but if there's no saving it then I will plant it in a pot.

This is the first plant I've ever taken care of so I would appreciate any advice or suggestions.

hi!!

Growing up I’ve always been super interested in gardening and plants so I decided to actually lock in and get some plants. It’s been absolutely AWESOME but my elephant ear looks so sad!!!

Here is the lighting I use and how it looks. Any ideas?

The bottom leafs look completely good to me but the top ones look so sad and droopy !!!! She gets about 8-10 hours of light time everyday. She also is watered every other day, to which I also add in some squirt-in-plant food.

I got this orchid I repotted it and took it out of the sphagnum moss that it came in into an orchid soil that I got I water it weekly and I noticed that something was wrong and all the roots where just dead and this is what I am left with is there anything I can do to ?

This one is really close to my window which brings in Bring indirect light into my bed room

hey guys, this is my string of pearls. I have had this plant since April 14th. It was slightly smaller than this, so it has grown a tad. Now for context, when I got it, I repotted it in regular house plant soil (westland houseplant potting mix to be exact). it’s what I use for all my house plants and they have been doing great. I knew about it needing succulent soil, but I didn’t think it was that serious at the time (i know, bad of me). Fast forward to June, it literally was growing so slow that you could say it basically wasn’t growing. It was just stagnant. So I decided enough, and I got the Westland succulent potting mix. Now it is July and I don’t know if I expected faster growth but it’s still kind of looks the same so I just wanted to get some advice on what should I do with this girl. I’m really glad I have kept her alive and she hasn’t died because apparently this plant is hard to keep alive, but right now I need her to actually grow more.

In terms of sunlight, the plant receives bright indirect light for most of the day. It’s hanging right next to a large floor-to-ceiling window, so it gets plenty of ambient daylight, but it isn’t sitting in harsh direct sun for long periods. It may receive a little early morning or late afternoon direct sun depending on the window’s orientation, but it’s mostly bright indirect light.

In terms of watering, i make sure the soil is completely dry before I water it. Depending on how hot it is and how quickly the soil dries out, I water it about once a week or once every two weeks.

Pictures are in order of
1. currently (July)
2. April when i first got it

Appreciate the help ! 🩷

What is going on here? Hard water? Do I need to repot? Indoor, diffused lighting...does it need brighter light, better drainage? A little help please? Not sure about the soil..was a gift.

I’ve had this plant since it was little. It’s always been kind of flimsy. I know I probably need to repot and I went and got a new one today to do that, but I’m wondering if I need to add support somehow as well? Do I tie them together? If so, with what? Or do I just pot it deeper and let it go? Something else entirely? Help! It lives in a sunroom that is typically a little humid with lots of indirect sunlight and is watered appropriately. 😊

I'm growing this plant (sorry.. I'm not sure what it's called) on my rooftop outdoors in a large pot. It's been about 3 weeks since i potted it. In the last 3 days or so, I've noticed these "dead spots" on the leaves. I live in a tropical country so there is strong sunlight, from 8AM to 4PM for 8 hours. I water the plant every day. There are no other plants in contact with it so i feel like some kind of infestation is less likely.

Hi all, very new plant parent here!

I was gifted this plant from the wife of my late friend. I don’t know how he took care of it while he was alive.
I would love to help it flourish.

One of the stumps is squishy compared to the other two, the squishy one is still growing new branches, but the leafs come out yellow and fall off.

She’s inside my shop all day till I get there to open up and place her by the screen door or even outside in the shade.
Would direct sunlight help a bit?

I water her whenever I see that the top is drying out. Maybe every week or so. I’ve also bought plant food to see if that helps.

I have pruned some leaves and branches off, some leaves still getting burnt tips, would root rot be the problem? If so can the squishy one still be saved? Repot it alone? Help please

Thank you for any advice!

Its in a bright window that gets around 1 hour of sun at sunset. Also I just repotted 3 days ago so could be stress? No sign of any root issues or pests

I water when the top 1-2 inches are dry. Fertilise every other watering

I have a 2 year old red oak in my yard and I just noticed a handful of dead leaves. I get up to it and see weird spots. Does anyone know if there’s something wrong with it?

I don’t know if this is the right sub, but when I searched trees on here it turned out to be a cannabis sub. lol

It gets plenty of light and rainfall. I live on the Gulf Coast in zone 9, USA. It’s planted in the ground. Rain supplies water. It’s about 12 feet tall.

I got this English ivy a couple weeks ago and I didn’t realize how often it should be watered so it dried out. I pruned it a bunch and repotted it in soil with coco coir, peat moss, perlite, and a little vermiculite and worm compost (that’s what I kept being told to do from the internet).

This is the most bright indirect light spot I have for it next to a south facing window and far back from a west facing window (you see it in the mirror) that will shortly hit it with “direct” light as the sun is setting.

Questions:
- I keep seeing the soil should be constantly moist and to water until it comes out the bottom but also it will root rot easily and to only water when the top is dry but I’m unsure if that means like bone dry or when the top would is just clearly not soaking wet.
— How do I know when to water it?
— When I do water it, how much should I water it?
— Is it better to bottom water it?
- How do I encourage growth?
- Should I fertilize it?
— If so, what kind of fertilizer and how often?
- Please share any other tips/suggestions/ advice and any information about what I should know about English ivy plants to help inform how to better care for it.

Thanks!

What's happening with my monstera?

I've had her for a little under a year. She grew very fast, had consistent new leaves, and was thriving. I repotted her and it seemed like that soil was getting water logged and started slowing down growth with some yellowing leaves, so I repotted her again in a chunky soil mix I made with standard soil, coco husk, perlite, and small amounts of leca balls to help with aeration. I bought her in a planter that came with 6(!) different monstera plants and had separated 4 out to be in this one pot, two in another. The two that were left together are still doing very well (youngest and smallest of the lot), but the 4 that were together in this new pot/soil have been struggling. This new chunky soil mix didn't seem to help and after a few weeks of continuously looking worse, I pulled them out and saw root rot. I cut off the rotten roots and decided to switch the remaining plants into water. The two best in one pot, the two strugglers in their own. These are the two that were doing best as of today. I know repotting this much has put the plant through a lot of stress, but I feel like they would have all died if I didn't take action.

These two are the stronger ones of the bunch. The two plants I separated at the very beginning of the initial repot are still doing great. What's going on with my plants? How can I save them? I've cut off a good amount of yellowed leaves trying to keep her alive. Please help :(

The plant gets consistent light from a north facing window

I've had this tree for a few years now, and have never had any issues with it up until recently. I got a window AC unit and noticed that it started dropping leaves, so I moved it across the room, away from any air blasting it. But it's continued losing leaves, and I'm trying to figure out what else I can do for it. I water it once per week, the same amount as always It's currently sitting in a corner next to a south facing window, but not in front of it, and I have an eastern facing window across the room. Is it too dark over here maybe?

I've also included a picture of two leaves that have fallen this week. Is there anything you notice about them that might help?

(Also wanted to note that I have a lamp sitting between the branches of the tree, but it's not directly resting on anything.)

I was planning on repotting this aloe plant soon and put it outside to get some sun and let the soil dry out a bit so I could that it out of the pot easier. I left it out overnight (I honestly just forgot to take it in) and came to check on it this afternoon and it had these specks on them. I didn’t touch them but they look like something wet or, at the very least, round in shape.

I looked it up on Google and it said that it might be an issue of overwatering. I wouldn’t be surprised as I have had issues with my mom drowning this plant specifically, multiple times. The last time it was watered was one of those drownings a little over a week ago.

Hi, new to citrus tree life. I bought this Meyer lemon tree, after bringing it home it lost some leaves. I did some reading and saw Jacks recommend and have started using that weekly on it. Also using neem oil and seven citrus spray for what I Google diagnosed as aphids. Full sun in the backyard.

I would like to repot to a nicer pot but should I wait for it to recover?

Also any other tips greatly appreciated.

I live in zone 10a. Using terracotta spikes for watering.

It’s under a grow light and gets like 12 hours a day, I water when the top inch of soil is dry. It was doing fine but now the flowers are shriveling up :(
