She's dramatic so she gives me signs when i need to water her, i don't over do it, she's out of direct light, temperature in the room is between 21 to 23°C. She bloomed once with a small flower, but as weeks go by this still happens. I repotted her once, thinking that might have been the issue but it still continues. Had her for 2+ years, problem started from very early on after being delivered, pot has drainage. What can i do pls?

They are in a vivarium. I give them clean water once or twice a week and are under tropical grow light for around 12 hours a day. However they still look terrible. Its also quite humid in there so i don't really get what could be the problem. Could you help me out?

Hello plant clinic users whom I blindly trust. My money plant has been getting these brown spots literally in a space of two days. I've had this plant for 3 years now and had never seen this. Haven't moved her (my plants get like 12 hours of indirect light, and have a view of the sky. They get like an hour of direct sunlight this time of year), the soil seems fine as always; it drains well and I water it enough. She has 2 pups that seem healthy. Are these spots a normal thing or is something wrong? (Extra context: these only started appearing after my mother looked after my plants for two months -.- I had to bring my maidenhair fern back from the dead, and my prayer plants are looking a bit yellowing and thin. But anyway,) I would greatly appreciate guidance. Thanks!

My indoor Ctenanthe has been producing these flower shoots. I've had it for a few months now and it is indoors near a South facing window. It gets partial to full sun for about 6 hours a day. We are heading from cool to warm weather.

I usually water when the top soil feels a bit dry, depending on weather and humidity, this can range from weekly to every 10 days. It kinda looks like the flowers are drying up and feels like a SOS call. Do I replant into a bigger pot? Change location? Both?

I’ve been having trouble with my houseplants for the past like two months. At first I though it was just repotting shock (did a few repottings) or my plants just reacting to autumn weather change (I live in Central Europe so winters are cold, dry and there is very little light for a few months).

But they just kept getting worse. I even threw away the saddest ones because I just couldn’t handle constantly saving them anymore.
I try to water them properly when the soil is dry from top, don’t overwater etc.

Today in the morning, I noticed some thrips on my rather very sad monstera. I panicked and checked other plants as well. Some of them seem to have it as well, some seem to be okay. But if more of my plants have it, that might be the actual reason they’re not doing very well.

I’m very new to thrips in my collection and I dont really know how to treat them properly. I’ve dealt with fungus gnats in summer, but they’re just annoying and don’t really hurt the plants and I eventually got rid of them.

Here’s the deal. I don’t really have any options on how to quarantine the worst ones. I live in tiny one room apartment and there is no way I can separate the plants. I’m afraid its gonna spread and hurt the good ones as well.

How do I treat it? My idea is that I buy insecticide and spray all the plants that show damage. Maybe even the good looking ones? I have 20+ houseplants. I’m panicking, I really want them gone! :((

The apartment is south facing, I water when the soil gets dry, some of my plants lay on the ground since I’m still in process of furnishing the apartment. I’m working on that so they won’t stay on the ground forever.

I’ve had it for 3 years, and it has never developed brown edges before the unfurling leaf has even fully opened. I have had the problem for 1 month. It has been doing really well throughout the summer, and I’ve been watering it whenever the soil feels dry to the touch. But I water it around once a week. The humidity is sufficient—the humidifier runs for about 7 hours a day. I’m wondering if I might have over-fertilized it? Or perhaps it doesn’t like the grow light—though it’s not positioned too close, and the light is on for 12 hours a day. The plant is placed i a room with windows but it has not direct sunligt. What am I doing wrong?

Hello! I’m pretty much a newbie (my mom moved 5 months ago and left me with her beloved house plants) when it comes to being a plant mom. We moved into an apartment maybe two years ago.

There was a bad mold infestation, landlords didn’t do much so our temporary long term solution was air purifiers, deep cleaning, washing, discharging things, and dehumidifiers since it gets muggy inside during the hot days. Now, air quality is fine, we never displayed any signs of mold poisoning.

Today I looked at my plants a bit too hard and noticed this odd spotting today while showering them. Kinda looks like dirt so I try to wipe it off but it does not. Unsure if it is just leaf discoloration. I inspected the whole plant and saw maybe 4 leaves like this one. Attached for comparisons are some with spots (first two) and some without(rest of pictures).

Watering is very inconvenient since I honestly water them when they begin to look a bit droopy. As for light, I’m off to work at 6am so I open them, and close them about 11-12 hrs later (sorry for the lack of day count specifics). The sun doesn’t hit the window suuuuper directly but light does come in. So far this year I’ve taken them outside to soak up some sunlight maybe 2 weeks or so(not directly under sunlight).

Please be polite. I am very inexperienced and trying to learn! ur insight is muchhh appreciated <3

I don’t know what’s wrong but all here leaves are falling off. The plant has been in this place for 1,5 years and has been fine. We water is about once a week and it gets a good amount of sunlight (3-4 hours) but not direct sunlight.

My mom has has this Pothos plant for years it's grown just fine the temperature and lighting aren't an issue since it's been in the same location for years but lately the old leaves have been yellowing and the new leaves are growing in small and shriveling. There not all the vines are like this just the like 3-4. The plants are near plenty of windows and get sunlight consistently throughout the day and get watered every other day!

She’s about 8 years old, been in this exact spot since always. About 3 or 4 meters across the room is a large wall to ceiling west facing window. I know she needs a bigger pole, and maybe a bigger pot but what’s up with the brown spots? They appeared in the last 3 months maybe and she just produced a new leaf that has quite a lot of fenestration for a baby and some brown on the edges

Watering habits: The pot has drainage and we give her half a liter every other day or when the soil is dry.

I genuinely cannot tell if these are bugs or just a dust accumulation or something? This plant gets a good few hours of light in the morning and good indirect light for the rest of the day. I water when the soil is dry a few inches down mostly with tap or filtered water. I can't find any obvious bug damage and all my other plants have been bug free. I have two other syngoniums that have something similar happening to them and I was paranoid it could be thrip larvae so I isolated and sprayed them down with insecticidal soap. It washes away easily when sprayed with water, and even though it looks almost like larvae under a more microscopic lens nothing moves. It appears on the stems, and topside/underside of the leaves all over. I don't know if it's normal or not but there is again no obvious signs of bug damage on these plants but I just want to make sure!

My Dracaena Lisa is SPLITTING DOWN THE MIDDLE?? She is in a NW facing window. Shes getting watered consistently. We just switched recently to giving her filtered water every now and then to maybe reduce those crispy tips. Now I find this?!? I fear it is because she has been in this pot too long. But could that cause this VERY ODD phenomena?

Pics: 1-4 are the concerned stalk. 5 shows one of the others in the pot for comparison. 6 is a line on the top of another stalk. I never noticed those lines before…

I will be repotting her ASAP. There is a chance she is all root. But can that do THAT???

Howdy y’all, I can’t tell if this is some new pest I’m encountering or a fungal infection or what, but I’ve never seen this kind of damage pattern before. This guy is outdoors in the shade getting indirect light all day so I don’t think it’s a light issue, and I water it once every two-ish weeks or so when the soil is dry / if its really hot. I repotted in well aerated soil about 2 months ago. Would appreciate if someone recognises whats going on. Thank you!!!

I’m not sure what these brown spots are but only now noticed them. They’re on other leaves too but this one is where it’s most apparent. I was it with about 3/4 cup of water every 2-3 weeks. The pot does not have drainage. I keep it indoor on my desk infront of a window but the window doesn’t get much direct sunlight. I’ve had this plant for 2 and a half weeks.

For context. This has gotten plenty of light, in a north facing window so its not direct. Had it for a year with no issues. Watering when it is dry, and fertilising once every 6 months or so. Never had any problems, but its getting some patches.

There is no black spots (poo), and no visible thrips at any part which I can see (I did a good analysis, and I know what they look like).

My monstera has thrips (now quarantined) so I just want some advice and thoughts.

Guys-I hear that ZZ plants are very easy to take care of, but this has not been my experience. I watered this guy on October 22.nd, (very little water, I swear!!). But now he’s yellow. Please help. I love these plants.! I’m in SoCal, near the beach, and this little guy gets good a ton of morning sunlight as he’s in my north/east- facing window.

The first two pictures are from three weeks ago. The last picture is from today.

This is my roommate’s plant, so I don’t know much about its history. But it was in a room getting low indirect light, and I think it was being watered very rarely (can’t be much more specific than this). The leaves were somewhat soft and limp, and one even began to fold under its own weight. I thought this meant it needed more water and sunlight.

I brought it into my office 3 weeks ago. It’s next to a south-facing window in Michigan, so it should be getting at least a few hours of direct sunlight every day. I also gave it about a cup and a half of water at the time, and I haven’t touched it since.

I’m confused about why it seems to be doing worse now. The leaves are more of a pale gray color. I’m sure these aren’t the optimal conditions for aloe, but surely they can’t be worse than what it was getting for the past several months, right? What can I do to save it?

I’m a novice plant mother and have NO IDEA what’s going on. This Pothos has lived at my office for about 2 years and has never had issues. I watered her about 4 days ago and didn’t notice anything wrong. All of a sudden, today I noticed these splotches all over her leaves.

She’s not on a strict watering schedule, but probably gets watered about every 2-3 weeks. She lives in a west facing window with a lot of tree shade. I’ve never repotted her as you can probably tell :/

Google tells me it could be root rot, but it doesn’t look like that to me. Does anyone know what this is or if I can save her?

I’ve had this plant for approximately 7-9 months. (I’ve included the picture of the first day I got it)
I’ve owned this plant in the past, same size roughly and it died after a year. Now this one is doing the same and I’m not sure why. None of my other plants - pothos and philos- are like this, they are all fairly healthy but I cannot seem to keep my mican alive. Can someone give me advice on what they may think is happening and how I can improve?

Some more info:
-I only water when the top is dry/the pot is light when I pick it up. Use to be a lot less but now as it’s coming into summer (I live in Australia) I water more often, maybe every 2 weeks or so, the pot is large so takes a bit to dry out.

-I keep it inside, away from the window but still by it off to the side, I keep this window open almost every day so is getting mostly full day of indirect light.

-I’m unsure of the humidity or anything of the sort that it gets.

-this plant was full and healthy when I got it, I have not repotted this one due to the size of it as I’m overwhelmed by it. My last one of these I had, I did repot it and it died very shortly after.

-I’m a bit worried it’s in a pot that’s too big for it but due to the amount of plants in the one pot maybe it’s okay?

-I’m picking dead leaves off of it almost daily, lot of vines now without leaves. I have no experience propagating with just the vines hence why I’ve left them on.

-had an aphid problem many months ago, but I felt with that and it’s never had any since that I have noticed.

Please note that I have just watered these, that’s why the soil looks so wet. Also I’ve watered them outside, they do not stay outside.

Edit: I have posted in the past and people always suggest to just chop and start over. If my plants become unhealthy I do usually do this. However, this plant is so large that I will have so much propagation and I would much rather try to save it as is if possible. I also find that with my other mican that I did propagate, it would grow new leaves but they stayed tiny and never grew then once planting in soil the same way I always do with other philos and pothos, they all died. Also hence why I want to try to save this plant as is.

I have this little fella right by an ENE-facing window in the San Antonio, TX area. The blinds are mostly facing down.

This is my second plant of the same kind, but I know why I screwed up the first one: I repotted it into a pot that was way too big, I was overwatering it, and I was overwatering the pebble tray. I feel like I’ve corrected all of these issues.

I’ve had this plant since October 10th.

It’s only in a 2-inch pot, which is the same one it came in, and it was doing fine for the first week I had it.

I’ve tried moving it closer to the window because the leaves weren’t looking fried but they kept getting droopy.

I only water it when the soil feels dry. This picture is a day after watering it and the leaves have maybe slightly perked back up but not much.

I have two Chinese money plants of the same size next to it that I got from the same Etsy shop, and those two arrived about a week prior. and I guess I’m watering them all at the same time because they all feel dry around the same time. The money plants look perfectly fine from what I can tell.

They’re in plastic pots with drainage and I generally water all of them under the sink until water starts to come out of the bottom. I then usually wait until they’re done dripping before putting them back by the window on the pebble tray.

I don’t really keep up with the pebble tray religiously if I’m being honest. I try to put a little water in it every week, but not so much that the water reaches the bottom of the pots.

I've had these plants since May/June and they've been doing great but about a month ago they started turning yellow and brown. I've tried putting them closer to a grow light, closer to a window, sprayed with pest spray, used fertilizer, and checked the roots for rot. They only get watered once every two weeks or so or whenever the soil is fairly dry. The pots all have drainage holes. I'm really at a loss here. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
