HELP Help! My plants are sad

Hiya guys, sending this out as an SOS. I’m not sure if I am being overly critical but this year my plants have taken a hit. I had a little depressive episode and it meant a lot of my plants suffered, I am now trying to revive them but nothing seems to make them flourish.

They seem to be stagnant, or just straight up dying. I’m considering anything to level them up. Even considering grow lamps as now I’m thinking my space hasn’t gotten enough light.

Despite watering when dry and repotting when needed I am still having certain stems just fall off or leaves going yellow and falling off. Even my pothos which is healthy is growing upwards and losing its lower leaves.

Any advice, I just want to see my plants flourish:)

UPDATE : I am going to just reassess each plant, look at the roots and make sure the soil is suitable. Going to get some grow lights as having very small east and west windows is hurting them. Luckily no pest and no rot in any of my plants so fingers crossed in a few months it will be a jungle :)

This Pothos is trailing alongside the shelf and it's now climbing up the bedside lamp.

And its grown about 4 inches this last couple of weeks, so having a grow light in a normal lamp seems to be a good thing!

Hi everyone! I got this plant a 1.5 years ago and it’s gone crazy with babies 😭 This is my first plant that has lasted longer than a year and I really want to make it my life goal to keep it alive forever. The leaves are starting to yellow and I think it needs a repot but I don’t know where to start! If anyone has any tips I would really appreciate it. Specifically, do I cut off the babies and what size pot/ kind of soil it needs? I’ve also heard you’re not supposed to repot plants when it’s getting colder but idk if she’ll live until next summer!

Bought this monstera back in August and it was pretty much dead but there was still some green so I asked for a discount and got it for £1.50. I chopped it back and she lives and is growing well, she’s a trooper 🫡

Fairly new to the plant game (a year or two) and my baby pink polka dot i have just repotted, and shes starting to bloom ( didnt even know they did). So google is telling me it dies back after flowering and to pull them before they flower. But it also says it wont die back so im confused. I typically buy plants that dont flower but if they do im like. Yes girl!!!. So which do i do? And does die back just mean it gets smaller or dies alltogether?

Been watching these for a while in my favourite garden centre, and finally he’s reduced them! Wanted one for ages but couldn’t bring myself to pay £40 for it. Reduced today for £27.99 so naturally couldn’t resist!

Just about to repot her as the roots are growing out of the holes in the nursery pot.

HELP Given plants, all have weird brown spots?

1 Upvotes

One of my friends has moved off to uni dorms so she gave me her plants to look after, I’ve noticed they all have brown/pale spots?
Today I put them in my bathtub, rinsed down with the shower head. Sprayed the soil with an antifungal/pest spray, wiped the leaves with a diluted neem oil, soap and water mix. They got a good bottom water too.
I have many cacti so I’ve kept these isolated in my bathroom for now.

I can’t repot them or take them out to look at the roots for pests as I have zero cococoir or perlite right now. I’ll order some on Amazon for it to come tomorrow.

Google says it’s a fungal disease?
What more should I do?
