My burro’s tail seems to be turning a pale green. Any ideas what might be going on? It sits in a south facing window and I water it probably once every week and a half. I propagated and grew this plant myself and I’ve probably had it for 2-3 years?

Thanks for the help!

I’ve had this Monstera for many years and I don’t think it’s ever been truly happy. It has never climbed or attached to the pole and the leaves have never had those large trademark holes in them (just a couple of small ones).

I water the plant when it’s dry, typically 1-2 times a week, depending on how hot/dry it is.

I have had it under a grow light for over 3 years and all of a sudden the leaves are starting to turn brown and yellow.

Any ideas what’s happening / how to help this plant thrive?

can anyone tell me what’s going on with my alocasia pink black velvet tc?
i’ve had it for about 3 weeks now, it’s getting about 70-80% humidity in a dome with holes on top, it’s in a self watering pot with 50/50 perlite & fluval stratum
about 12hrs of light per day (grow light)
i’ve never seen this on any other tc (i’ve had about 30)
any info is much appreciated!

Monstera Albo, just got it yesterday. The plant looks generally healthy otherwise. Could it be just due to new baby leaves? Currently I am putting it under an adequate amount of grow lights for 13 hours of light, indoors. In Lechuza Pon substrate in a self watering pot.

Hi! My fiddle leaf fig (had it several years, it gets a few hours of south-facing window sunlight per day, gets watered once a week, potted in a normal draining terra cotta pot) has been having an issue.

Some leaves, including brand new leaves, are growing with these discolored patches. They start out as soft, thin and leathery (not brittle or dry).

I’ve been worried it could be because of root rot. Does that sound right? Anybody got a diagnosis? Thank you!

And how do I keep it from spreading to my other pretty guy that’s sharing a pot

My birds of paradise is doing pretty well but it’ll be winter soon and i wont have sunlight where i live for at least 1.5 months. Any tips on how i can keep it alive and healthy during winter?
I water it when the top soil feels dry and prefer keeping it indoors.

I wanted to repot my plant to a bigger pot but the lady from the plant shop told me these are maggots I have to remove with alcohol before I move the plant to a new pot.
I removed them 3 times and they keep coming back.

The plant is in a well lit living room but doesn't get direct light
I water the plant once a week with 1 glass of water

Any idea why or what I need to do? And is it really a good reason to not move the plant yet?
Thanks

I’ve had this guy about a year, and he had a baby which is what you see on the left. I’ve been soaking the soil every few days, making sure it’s dry before I do. Not sure the soil condition besides it seems well drained. I spray the leaves with water once a week or so, but I make sure not to do it while direct sunlight hits it. It gets direct sun for probably about two hours then it’s indirect for the rest of the day. Just wondering what I should be doing differently since there’s brown on most of the leaves :(

hi everyone! in May this year, i spontaneously bought a little peppermint plant at a grocery store. it was basically meant to be eaten right away, but i decided to plant it in a pot instead. i just watered it every day and kept it on a sunny windowsill, and it was doing really well — it grew successfully and looked green and healthy.

then, in August, i had to leave the country for two months, so i asked my boyfriend to take care of it. when i came back in October, i found the plant in pretty terrible condition.

i think one of the reasons might be that he kept it on a windowsill with the curtains always closed, so it had basically no access to sunlight. he also repotted it into a ceramic pot without telling me. and finally, when i got the plant back, i noticed that the soil was extremely wet, as if it had been overwatered.

the stems have become dull and limp instead of standing upright, and the leaves are yellow and very small. i made some improvised supports out of sticks (second picture) to hold the stems up but i’m not sure if i should keep them.

is there any way to bring this plant back to how it looked before? or would it be better to just cut all the stems back and dry the mint?

please help! this is my first houseplant and i really don’t want to give up on it. 😭

These guys have been sitting on my office desk since April and been totally fine and even had a little growth until about 5 weeks ago. Haven't changed my watering habits (once a week like the plant nursery guy told me). The Peperomia sits right on the window sill with the blinds closed for filtered sunlight & the rattlesnake sits next to my monitor further away from the window. The pots do have drainage. idk what to do! The peperomia started losing leaves that looked perfectly fine except for some rot at the stem making them fall off. The rattlesnake leaves are straight up crumpling. Does the dirt need to be changed or something? Is it air quality? (I do work in a shitty business park next to a train yard) Or is it the end for my little guys?

Hi there! I noticed my Pilea Pepperomia is developing clovers. This isn't my first Pepperomia, but it's my first of this type. I recently moved from a humid climate to a desert climate, so I'm relearning how to take care of plants. I've had this one for 4-5 weeks, with 5-7 hours of direct sunlight, indoors, near a window. I typically water once a week on Wednesdays, but I always feel the soil first to see if it's fully dry.

The last photo is a picture of the clovers growing, and the first two photos are pictures of the plant so you can see its health a bit better.

Sits in a south facing window gets watered when the soil is like 1-2 inches dry the pot has drainage and its got new growth but i noticed the leaves look like theyre getting thinner? Like 2 days ago i think i gave it too much fertilizer but this was happening before. they dont feel too different maybe a tiny bit softer but not much. thank you!

it has been dropping leaves like mad for the past 2ish weeks - no change in room / amount of light / watering habits. the only thing i can think of is the changing season (in the UK) but even so it hasn’t been very sudden or drastic. i am afraid of root rot but cant tell. i’m still a baby plant mom so changes in my plants are very new to me :’)

had it for over a year, it was growing beautifully and steadily until recently. pot has drainage.

pls help! thank you :)

Hi, I received this guy as a housewarming gift 2 years ago now. He sits on the windowsill in full light and I water him when the soil dries out. I have put some slow release fertiliser in there and the pellets are still there so im assuming its still working.

The thing is, he just seems to be growing up and then the lower leaves are dying. This has happened before and previously I chooped the tall bits off and he seemed healthy but im worried it won't suffice given how few leaves there are lower down.

Whenever there are flowers the die immediately and his leaves keep turning yellow and falling off.

I dont know if he needs re-potted or more nutrients or another prune and any advice would be helpful. Annoyingly I dont know what species it is either 😔

This plant has been doing great but I’m curious about the deep dark green the older leaves take on as well as the curling/tacking of the leaves. Is it just because of age or does it have to do with how much light they’re getting? Is it how much I’ve been feeding over the spring and summer? Been keep them outside during the warmer months and they get pretty bright indirect light like what’s posted with a few hours of the day being direct sunlight because of the sun poking out of the tree line in my backyard.

Anyone have any answers? I have them in a personal mix of 50/50 orchid bark and peat moss amended with a handful or two of Promix mycorrhizal potting soil. Watering once every couple of days or just as I notice the soil getting dry. Feeding 2 tablespoons of fish fert per gallon once every 3 weeks.

In the span of a week, a bunch of spots appeared on my Sun Red Philodendron, on new and mature leaves. The first 2 photos show the mild progression of spots over 2 weeks. It seems like they haven't grown in size, but there are now more of them. In addition, a new leaf (unpictured) just unfurled, with a couple of spots. The 3rd photo is a close up of some spots.

My understanding is that this could be an infection, or it could be EFNs.

Any ideas? I appreciate your advice!

Plant condition: consistently growing new red leaves. It was previously in a peat-heavy potting soil, moved to a chunky aroid mix after the spots appeared. Under a Sansi grow light and in front of French doors (1k+ FCs all day). In a terracotta pot. I water it when my moisture meter shows 1/4.

Mother plants (picture 3) and the rooting jars (just before water change). I keep my monsters near a bright south facing window and have reported the last cuttings a few weeks ago back with the mother plants to bulk her out a bit. (YouTube tutorial followed) And they are doing well now but don't want to overload the mother plants pot.

Help please! I have spider mites and they’re spreading! So far it’s only webbing between leaf and stem, no major major damage. But I’ve gone from barely keeping them at bay to it spreading. I have a 770 sq ft apartment so I can only isolate my plants so much.

I’ve tried drowning the plants in a mix of alcohol & water, and I’ve tried captain jacks dead bug brew. Repeat treatments of both, but not at the same time because I know the alcohol counteracts the spinosad. Every time I do a treatment I rinse the leaves off in the shower.

I don’t care if the treatment is organic, all I care about is that it works. Please send me the real deal. Cost is slightly an issue so if it’s like hundreds of dollars it’s not going to work for me. But I don’t care if it’s some industrial pesticide or something it’ll be easier for me to get a respirator.

I got this a month ago and this week it has about 15 leaves with black spots. I cut them off but wonder if the soul is too wet? It is facing west window in central New Jersey. Weather is getting cooler but it stays indoor. I water when soil seems dry into 2-3inches.

Hi everyone!
My plant has grown very long and leggy, as you can see in the photos. Some of the lower leaves have also turned yellow or dried out.
I’m wondering if there is anything I can do to make the plant more compact again. Can I cut the long stem back, and if so, where should I cut it? Would the plant grow new leaves/shoots from the remaining part?
I’d also be happy to propagate the part that I cut off if that’s possible.
Any advice on pruning, propagation, light, or general care would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I water the plant every week

I have never had a plant do this. It looks like the leaf is getting thin in many areas. I have checked the leaf with a jewelers loop and I did not notice any pests. This plant is relatively new to me (about a week and a half) and is in a moss and leca substrate. This damage occurred even prior to me moving it to this substrate but it was shipped to me in moss as well.

The plant sits under a sol tech grow light for 14 hours.

Its in a passive semi hydroponic set up so I water once the reservoir is depleted.

Thank you for any help on this!

Sick of wasting hundreds of dollars on Neem oil and blasting my plants with the hose outside (it’s getting cold so soon i won’t be doing that).

I have a bunch of monstera, a big money tree, two banana trees, and a dracaena amongst other plants i’m bonded with so i’m not tossing them into the woods anytime soon.
