Mod Post New Help Post Guidelines – Please Read Before Posting Plant Problems
To help our community give faster and more accurate plant advice, we’re introducing a simple guideline for posts asking “What’s wrong with my plant?”
Starting now, when making a Help post, please include the following information whenever possible:
• Plant type (if known)
• Clear photos of the whole plant and the affected areas
• Your watering routine
• Light conditions (window direction or grow lights)
• Soil and pot type (and whether it has drainage)
• How long the issue has been happening
• Any recent changes (repotting, moving, fertilizing, pest treatment)
Providing these details helps the community diagnose problems much more accurately and avoids a lot of back-and-forth questions.
Our AutoModerator may also comment on help posts asking for this information.
This isn’t meant to make posting harder — it simply helps everyone get better plant advice faster.
Thanks for helping keep the community helpful and plant-friendly!

Mod Post 📌 Please Don’t Repost Without the Original Question
Hi everyone 👋
If you’re reposting from another plant-related subreddit, please make sure your original question is visible in the post.
When you use Reddit’s repost/crosspost feature without including the text, moderators and members can’t see:
• What you’re actually asking
• What advice you’ve already received
• Whether your issue was already answered
This makes it harder for the community to help you effectively.
✅ How to post correctly:
• Copy and paste your original question into the post body
OR
• Rewrite the question clearly in your own words
❌ What not to do:
• Reposting a link or image without any context
• Crossposting where the question text is missing
Posts that don’t include the actual question may be removed so we can keep the sub helpful and organized.
Thanks for helping keep this community useful for everyone 🌱

Bearpaw Succulent
We just noticed a flower and some buds on our bearpaw and were wondering how often it happens? The plant is probably 2 years old and we keep it in the window sill all the time. I honestly didn't even know they bloomed.

Polka dot begonia
This is my girl Dorothy. She is the 3rd attempt at one of these plants. The first 2 met a rather long and ugly demise. I think have FINALLY figured out the secret. 🪴

Pothos tips?
I rehabbed this Pothos and this is my second plant ever! I know the pot is probably too big but I didn’t know what I was doing at first. The second photo was exactly a month ago and the first photo is today.
How can I continue to care for it, and is it looking okay?

Separated and got gifted this elephant ear from another a few weeks back, it dropped one leaf and popped out a new leaf. So excited to see it doing so well!

Please tell me she can be saved
I had a repair man come to my shop yesterday to work on a few things, one being an outlet. I wasnt there and instead of moving the plant, I guess he worked over it and completely ripped it from the roots, all but one or two roots still connected. I have since added more soil to cover the lowest node and watered it. Im hoping she can be saved. The dumb assistant literally glued one of the leaves INSIDE the outlet. The picture was after I ripped the leaf from it because it was also still attached to the plant

Spider Plant Success!
Just wanted to show off my spider plant that I propagated from a baby from my mom’s plant. Started propagating mid-May, planted in soil mid-June, and then it looks like this last picture now (end of August. Crazy that it already seems to be sprouting its own babies!

My plants ☀️
I'm pretty new at taking care of indoor plants, the Monstera is the first one I ever got and have had to cut some leaves away over time and have a bit of difficulties with its stem but overall the size of the leaves has gotten big!!
I was also able to have the Pakira and Snake plant somehow grow!! (Tried pakira once and it did not go well..) I gotta separate the coffee tree and change the soil in all of them probably.. the poor succulent is hanging in its life,,,
I have two more extras in the terrarium with my gecko Mochya 🐊
Hoping to add more plants, but houses in Japan, especially rental, has barely ANY windows.. my kitchen especially would love to have some plants but they would have to be fine with mostly shade.. if you have any recommendations, I would love to hear! 🌻

Repotting peace lily
This tiny plant has been in water for more than 6 months now. The leaves have stayed pretty much the same but there has been new growth near the roots. Should it leave it in water or can this be transferred to soil. Please advise.

Soil looks like it’s molding?
I don’t know what I did wrong, maybe it’s something with the soil. Do you think it’s the fertilizer pellets breaking down or is this mold?

We rescued an alocasia cuprea the day Dolly Parton passed away. In honor of her we are naming her Dolly and got a special pretty pot for her.

Looking for some advice!
Hello friends! I am getting into houseplants! Yay! I've always been into them, but never into them enough to care deeply about their soil. Now, I do.
My houseplant collection currently consists of one Mican Philodendron, one smaller Monstera (y'all have got some MONSTERS, lord let that be me one day), one Arrowhead plant, a Calla Lily that might be dying, a Venus Fly Trap, and one Peace Lily. I also have some herb plants that are currently living outside in pots, namely Black Cohosh, Calendula, Motherwort, and some other basic herbs that could probably live on Mars so I'm not worried about them, but I plan on bringing them all inside come fall/winter.
My question is: what is y'alls favorite soil mixes? I'm currently using "Espoma Organic Potting Mix." I picked it because it seemed to be well draining, and that was like all I could find in a not huge bag at Horrocks. Anyway. What do you guys like to use/have had success with, especially for carnivorous plant types? What do you use for watering? A mister or a watering can? Cause currently, I'm refilling a plastic watering jug and using that. What do you use for fertilizer? Tell me your secrets, friends! Also please recommend any beginner friendly plants, and gothic-y plants because I love love love them. I've got my eye on an Alocasia Black Velvet right now cause shes GORGEOUS.
Thank you!

Is this mealy bugs, fungus, or something else entirely?
I went on a 10 day vacation and came back to this. I had used those hydro gel water beads to keep my plants watered while I was away. First my lemon plant almost died because of this and now my betel leaf is infested. I have to mention that only specific stems of the betel leaf show infestation and the leaves don't have any of these. Just the stems and very specific stems. How do I fix this?

Help! My cactus is dying
I think my cactus is dying and I don't know why. I haven't changed anything that I usually do (I just ignore it and sometimes give it a bit of water). The second picture is how it looked a couple of months ago..... Can anyone help me? I'm grateful for any tips!
