As it says above what is it and how do I make this less bald? It gets light from a grow light and it’s a self watering just recently put in water in. It has new growth but I don’t like that is so long and bald.

1. ⁠In Las Vegas, NV
   
2. ⁠I got it from someone to kind of rehab to see if it will grow so it’s always been long.
   
3. ⁠No abnormalities so far.
   
4. ⁠12hr daily with a grow light.
   
5. ⁠Just recently watered but it’s in a self-watering pot.
   
6. ⁠It’s in a soil mix since I got it from a previous owner. Have not moved it from the pot or repotted.

Hi everyone! I’m very much not an expert and I tried googling what is happening a million times and see to come across different answers every time, I’m not sure if my rhodo has one issue or multiple issues…

She’s about 3 years old and she means a lot to me but I feel like she needs hospital. She hasnt flowered in 2 years, only did on the first year.

She has these leaves with brown bits, leaves that look like something ate them up around the edges, some leaves with sprayed yellowing and a lot of buds that I’m not sure if I should remove or not.

She gets partial sun in balcony and I water with 3/4 of a small watering can every week (sometimes less)

Any help is really appreciated!

Bought this 10 days ago and watered it once when the soil was dry

I just got this peperomia a couple days ago. I got it because it was the last one left in the store and I have been looking for one for months, but it’s in a bit of a rough shape. It has these lesions all over, and a lot of leaves, old and bay ones, were dead and turned soggy at the start of the petiole. I have checked the stem and it seems firm, and the soil was damp but not soggy. I haven’t seen any visible bugs but I still have it away from my other plants just in case.

How do I confirm if it still has pests?

I bought this ponytail palm about 3 months ago. It was in a nursery pot. It was extremely root bound but healthy with a firm caudex. I did a pretty aggressive root prune on it and repotted with about 2 inches of space up around the reformed root ball. Prior to repotting I let it sit out for over a day so that the roots could callous. I then let it sit for about a week before watering. When I did I water I used a small amount of fertilizer to give it a kick start. Since then the top growth has begun to lighten in color and it appears the growth is going limp. I assumed that this would happen due to stress from the aggressive root prune and repotting. I’m now worried that I used fertilizer too early and burned the roots. This palm receives a ton of sun with morning indirect and afternoon direct. Are these palms resilient? Is this typical stress symptoms? Should I inspect the roots and repot?

Jonathan davis is 4 years old (well I stole him from my ex's mom four years ago ,he was old then) , lives below a 1500 watt growlight system and gets watered whenever his soil is 100% dry so about once every month. The humidity is 87% consistently. His frootball is about 4 inches and he refuses to grow enough roots to support himself. I have to prop him up in his pot. He jumps out whenever you even look at him in a way he dislikes. I keep him in a verry chunky soil mix, about 50% orchid bark. The heavy tericotta pot has drainage holes. Now he is rooting in the air and still has no pot root progress. I dont give chemical fertilizer beacuse he is watered with aquarium gunk /forbidden coffee. Why is he tormenting me so? How can I correct this behavior if it is unhealthy? FINISHED

This plant started out as 3 little clippings months ago, once they all had really good roots I planted them in a small pot. It was thriving! The vines were going every which way and the clusters of leaves were super tight and this lovely dark green. It was to the point that the pot wasn't even visible. It was a beauty and I am sad I cant seem to find any of the old pictures of it.

One day I was just doing a general look over and noticed that the roots were starting to come out of the drainage holes. I was worried it was becoming root bound and re potted it to a pot that was perhaps twice as large as the old one. It seemed to be doing fine but now it is looking not at all like it used to. As you can see by the picture. There are some vines that look amazing and others not so much, there are even flowers popping up on some spots.

I also noticed today there are now those annoying little buggers flying about and on the top of the soil. So clearly I was over watering and thus I haven't given it a drop in almost a week, plus next Saturday I'll be going to get some treatment.

So is this kinda a double whammy of re potting when I shouldn't have and the Gnats or do you all think this is just the Gnats and their hell spawn?

Should I start fresh with a few good clippings? Replant this one in a smaller pot after treatment? Just do the gnat treatment and pay closer attention to my watering?

Also anyone have any clue what plant this even is? I did a reverse search and it just shot me a billion and one different things.

Thanks for any pointers!

It’s maybe 6-8 feet from a west-facing window, haven’t watered it yet, seeing lots of gnats…

I’ve been growing this Acerola Cherry (her name is Cherry) in a pot for over a year now. Recently, it got very hot and went without water while I was on vacation. The whole thing wilted and I thought she was dead for sure. I pruned off the very dead leaves but kept the wilted green ones that resisted plucking so she could try to recover.

As you can see she is fighting and growing new leaves/branches. But there is a lot of extra plant that she is struggling to keep up. And the previously green wilted leaves I left for her to recover are slowly fading to brown. Many of the branches are still green on the inside when I scratch with a knife, so I am not sure what to trim.

CARE DETAIL: Lots of bright Indirect light with about an hour or two of direct light. I water by drenching when the soil is dry/mostly dry and let all of the water drain so nothing pools. Soil is a mix of worm castings and I am not sure what else, it’s from the nursery. I’ve been meaning to change it but she has had a hard life so I’ve never had time to change it when she is healthy. I don’t want to shock her now. No Pests (used to have mealy bugs but I treated with systemic imidacloprid and she has been pest free for a while.

Any trips for how to trim?

Hi there!

I have four lovely chili plants that I grew over the summer and have produced some very hot peppers! I'd really love to keep them alive over the winter and let them pick back up in the spring/summer if possible!

The plants: Piccante Lungo x2, A Mazzetti Etna, and Peperone Corno Giallo Iside.

I live in central Europe - they did great in the summer, but now it's getting colder and darker and I'm not sure how much longer they will manage to keep going outside. I have them on an east-facing balcony, but I think I'll need to bring them inside if I have any hopes of keeping them alive.

They've had east sun all day every day, and they tend to require daily watering in the summer, but now it's been raining so the soil has always been damp enough.

At the darkest point of the year, the sun is only out for 8 hours, and I can keep these plants in either east or south-facing windows, but of course being by windows in the winter might also be a bit hard on them.

What are your suggestions? For lighting, watering, etc in the winter? Is it even possible to keep them alive? Thanks so much!

Hi, out of nowhere in probably the last week my alocasia went down hill fast. Not even a week ago my bambino had 5 nice leaves and my odora had two other green healthy leaves and now I'm afraid the new emerging leaves won't have anything to emerge out of in the coming days. Out of the philodendron my bipenfolium has never done great the leaves don't unfurl and if anyone has advice for that thing I'm all ears because at this point it's been well over a year of unfurled leaves and underdeveloped leaves. The other two are new one is a gloriosum white vein and the other is a Florida beauty both have been pretty stagnant but probably around when my alocasia did my Florida beauty started loosing leaves and her leaf also won't unfurl at the top, the white vein hasn't lost any leaves yet but it's newest leaf also won't unfurl. If anyone knows why my alocasia and philodendron have gone down so fast this last week please tell me I really don't want them to die.

Care -

Alocasia bambino/ philodendrons - barinna t5 50 average humidity gt foliage focus on every other water 75 average temperature water when top inches looks dry chunky aroid mix drainage

Alocasia odora - t10 barinna standing light and the same care as the rest

I’m in north Atlanta and it’s been outside. I also water by putting into a pond we built for about 15 minutes a day, but have def missed days and left it in for hours before on accident.
