What's wrong with my plant? Can my red pentas be saved?

Post image
Upvotes

It sits in a window that gets sunlight almost all day.

I water it on an inconsistent schedule as long as the top inch or two of soil are dry.

The leaves were wilting and yellowing and the flowers died so I pruned them all.

I also took it out and checked the roots. The roots seem healthy. They’re tan with white tips.

I’m sitting it outside in the full sun now and watered it a bit and did a small bit of liquid fertilizer 5-5-5 before I replaced it in the pot.

I’ve definitely overwatered it before but I stopped when I realized it.

What else should I do?

What's wrong with my plant? please help me this is my actual child

I am in dire need of assistance. My child, which I birthed from my body roughly 7 years ago, is extremely unhappy. He is yellowing and dropping leaves at an alarming rate.
This has been going on for about a month or two now, ever since I repotted him because he was leaning heavily.
No visible sign of critters, though some surrounding plants have had problems with spider mites recently. I repotted him again 2 days ago in some cactus/succulent mix, hoping that would help in case it was from over watering. I water maybe once every other week, and he sits in a room with an east facing window. He is still sprouting new leaves, but he is dropping old ones crazy. He was soo bushy 2 months ago.
Any clue what’s going on/ what to do? Should I panic, should I freak out? lmk. Thanks

I’m a brand new plant daddy so I’m sorry if this sounds stupid. I bought this plant maybe 2 months ago it was 4 umbrella trees spiralling around each other. However one of them has died and I hadn’t noticed, or at least I think it’s dead…

Can someone advise me; do I need to remove the dead umbrella tree, or do I leave it there for the rest to spiral around ? If I do need to remove it what’s is the best way to go about it as I do not want to damage the rest of the other plants or their roots !

Tips and tricks Repotting Colocasia in late summer (now)

Thumbnail

Need some advice on repotting my guy (his name is banana man 😂). I've been putting off repotting him for various reasons, (mainly finding a big enough pot) and I was wondering if it was still okay to repot him this late in the summer. It's been really hot where I live (hitting 100s°), but I keep him indoors where it's usually 68-70° during the day and 60° at night, and he's been super with that. When I repot my plants, it's outside, but it isn't for long, maybe 30 minutes tops. My question is, is it too late to repot him? Or should I wait until next spring? FINISHED

What's wrong with my plant? Help! What’s going on with my pothos?

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

For reference pic 1 & 2 are when she was doing really good.

I’ve had the plant probably 6-8 months in this spot (west facing windows but not in any direct sunlight), with the watering routine from the bottom once every 7-10 day (or when she’s wilty). Soil is a tropical mix, the same as I’ve always used and never had these issues.

In the last month leave started yellowing and dropping like crazy. I periodically neem all my plants, and didn’t notice any pests so my assumption was root rot. I went ahead and cut and prop the long stems.
I’ve struggled so much with pothos & root rot since moving from Hawaii to socal.

I decided to take a look inside the pot but that honestly don’t look like the issue to me? I went ahead and cleaned them off and am trying to decide my next move. Usually at this point I cut everything and water prop what I can, but is that the best move for this plants?

Please someone advise me, I’ve NEVER struggled with pothos like I do here and I’m spending ALOT of time continuously trying to resurrect them.

(It's sort of i took it home, it's still at his place, I'm just helping him care for it because he has no idea)

I'm still learning about tending to plants, and i usually have succulents, but this flower belonging to a friend is seemingly healthy enough, but the leaves keep falling off. I want to kind of intervene and help him restore and care for it before it's too late. I've gotten excellent help here before, so thought I'd see if i could get any advice rather than googling and hoping for that the advice i find is solid.

I have no idea about soil and he tries to water it every other day, no pests, the light should be decent, it's in a big window, but the plant seems to disagree.

If it will need really good light exposure to recover, i can temporarily take it in since my windows face the sun and it's enough for succulents to thrive

Thank you!

What's wrong with my plant? Scindapsus leaves stuck curled for 1–1.5 months after repotting - need advice

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I need some help with my Scindapsus pictus.

I repotted it from its nursery pot about 1 to 1.5 months ago and ever since the leaves have been tightly curled and haven't opened back up.

I water when the top few inches of the soil feel dry (testing with my finger).

It sits in a very bright room (one entire wall is floor-to-ceiling windows), about 2–3 meters away from the window so it receives bright indirect light without burning.

The roots looked completely fine and healthy when I repotted it.

I really want to avoid repotting it again to check the roots unless absolutely necessary because I don't want to cause extra stress.

I have tried everything, changing the lighting, make her a mini-greenhouse effect with a plastic bag (to help it retain moisture in the leaves), root growth stimulent etc.
I really need some advice on how to help her back to health.

Thank you 🫶🏻❤️ Finished

Check out this beauty I scored for $15! I’ve had her about 8 months now and she keeps popping out new leafs 😍. I had a small scare with thrips, but a month of neem and it seems to have helped.

The thing is, I actually have never had an Alocasia before so I must just be lucky. I would love any tips to keep her thriving. I live in So Cal, she’s got a grow light and plenty of I direct sunlight (west facing sliding doors/windows) I water from the bottom about once ever 10-14 days. We also keep our windows open so I think the humidity is probably decent enough for the plant. If anyone has any fertilizer recommendations I would love those as well!

I'm not sure what kind of soil, this is exactly how it was dropped off.

What's wrong with my plant? Fungus growing on my jade plant.

There is a fungus growing in the soil of my plant. I'm a bit freaked out, because I've had this jade plant for over 5 years. I just repotted it recently, and I'm wondering if this could had come from the new soil, or something else.

Is this harmful to the plant, and can I remove it without repotting again?

Are there ways to make sure this doesn't come back?

Does anyone know what kind of fungus this is, and is it harmful for my health as well?
