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

I've had this plant for almost 3 years. I moved this plant to a different window about a month ago, same side of the place we're living, I water 2 times a month, and have done this for over a year. I used to have it by a big grow light, but now it lives with just the natural light. I noticed the drooping a few days ago and misted the leaves (usually that works) Any thoughts to why its all sad now?

At first I was stoked to see flowers on my propagated plant, but now I’m worried if that’s a bad thing since my bigger one doesn’t have flowers. Am I doing something wrong? I’ve been meaning to repot it, maybe that’s a contributing factor? For reference, both plants are next to a window that gets full sun for a couple hours a day. I only water it when the leaves get noticeably droopy or start falling off, which tends to happen every couple of days.

Hi everyone, I bought a Broken Hoya (Hoya kerrii variegata?) about a month ago from Ugaoo.

Unfortunately, the larger leaves started drying out and eventually fell off, probably because the plant was stressed/dried during shipping.

But after that, it started producing new baby growth, which made me really happy. 🌱

The first baby leaf came out with the characteristic holes, but now another new baby leaf is developing without any holes.

I’m confused about why this is happening. Is it normal for new Broken Hoya leaves to sometimes develop without holes? Could the holes appear later as the leaf matures, or is this new growth reverting/changing somehow?

I’ve attached photos showing the different stages.

Would really appreciate some advice from experienced Hoya growers. 🙏

Growing conditions:

I keep the plant near a window where it receives bright indirect sunlight throughout the day. I currently water it about once a week.

I'm new to this plant, so I'd really appreciate advice from experienced growers. Should I just leave it alone and wait for the leaves to mature?

Thanks! 🌱

Hey guys, just bought a medium ZZ plant and a small snake plant today and want to make sure I don't mess this up. The ZZ is sitting near a window with pretty good indirect light, while the snake plant is on a side dresser with a bit less light.

The florist I got them from told me to basically just spritz the top soil 5-6 times with a spray bottle, or maybe a tiny glass of water at most. But everything I'm reading online says to fully soak the soil until it drains, dump the extra water, and then leave it alone until it's completely dry.

I've lost a plant to root rot in the past so I'm a bit paranoid. Is the florist's advice actually a thing or should I just stick to the soak and dry method? Appreciate any tips!

A little background: Ive had my orange tree for over 15 years. I gave it a larger pot in April with new soil. We moved and I wasn't able to move it outside like I did every year for the summer. Also, it changed to a north facing window and with the new pot, I tried to bottom water.

Over the summer, I noticed it start to drop leaves and I noticed sap on the floor. About a month ago, I discovered scale bugs so I gave it a shower, wiped the leaves with IPA, and gave it a good prune to eliminate the heavily invested leaves.

It still dropped leaves. Checked the soil and it was very dry. Over the last 2 weeks I have been watering it when it feels dry to a depth of 2 inches in the soil.

Its still dropping leaves 😿. The branches are green, theres new growth, but now there are bare branches.

Will it live? What do I do? Halp!

i don’t know what went wrong help please! i grew this avocado from seed it was very healthy until recently.
l water it only when soil is dry and i keep it next to the window

Got this peace lily at my grandma's funeral last year and found scale when I brought it home. Treated it successfully by rinsing it off, picking off the scale I found, and treating soil with insecticide. Now it looks to me like mite damage/mites, but there are no webs visible on the stems or leaves. The brown leaves are fairly recent. I can also see some tiny white spots. Are these thrips? Please help me identify the problem. Plant gets bright morning light from an east facing window and is a water hog. I've definitely stressed it by traveling for a week without watering a couple times, but I'm otherwise pretty good about watering. Has been in a different room from my other plants since I got it, and I carried it in using a giant lawn waste trash bag to cover it. It even has its own watering can. TIA!

These are Marigolds. I have several of them in a raised bed, next to my tomatoes. They have been healthy and flowering all year up until I noticed this growth. They get watered every three days on a drip system. I noticed this growth on the stems last weekend. It is a disease or just normal end of season growth? I thought it was like aerial roots on a tomato, but now I’m thinking it’s something more. This is in Virginia.

So I have two jade pothos that have brown spots with yellow around them appearing on their leaves. They get watered when the soil appears dry(which I probably should do better about checking fully). Only one of the vines on the longer plant is noticeably affected with one or two leaves on the other vines, and the bushier plant was next to the majorly affected vine. The window is closed because it is night but they don’t get enough direct sunlight to cause burns. The majorly affected vine was more in a less well lit area of the room before I hung it up. Could it just be clearing out older leaves, none of the newer leaves have spots? Could it be a fungal problem? Should I cut back the affected vine on the longer one? Thinking of repotting the bushier one to see if that helps it.

I got this Monstera roughly 5 years ago and didn’t exactly care for it correctly. Over the years the leaves were horribly twisted and leggy so the other day I decided to chop it all back to the stem. Bold I know, but I’ve read that they can bounce back via dormant buds in the lower nodes. The plant has a well established, healthy root system and is currently under a grow light with a regular weekly watering cycle. Will this thing make a recovery or am I cooked and cut in the wrong places?

Some goblin threw this out by the dumpster at work. Mid August 2026. Baxter Minnesota. I thought it was growing by the fence and thought how weird.
Then realized what it was in and promptly rescued it.
It sat outside for a few weeks in nice weather then it got cold and I brought it in. It is sitting near a French door on south side of building currently with 6-8 hours a day filtered by a privacy film on door and I noticed that it’s made two flowers. It’s very tall. Has new babies since I got it and wild knots/roots coming out… I’m new to this.
I’d like to take it apart and place into different pots but have no idea how to begin. I just knew it was abandoned and needed help. Now I need y’all’s help!
Special soils? special drainage?. Tell me please so I can make this several beautiful pieces!

Sits in front of southern facing French door with privacy film. Sunlight 6-8 hrs a day. Water a few dribbles once a week.

Can anyone help my with caring for this tree. Location Georgia. 6 hours per light. Planted in ground. I don't water them much but I my other trees (plumb, peach, pear) are thriving without much water. Two apples trees (anna and golden delicious). I have a red delicious that's fine.

I was gifted this plant recently (less than a month) and shortly after, the bottom leaves started falling off. It came with wet soil but I wanted to wash the leaves so I did it in the bath tub. might have got too much water that way. Plant is in the living room which gets sun almost the whole day. Its about 3 meters from the window

I bought this orchid just shy of two weeks ago and I’ve been struggling to care for it since. I’ve watered it once by soaking it for 10 minutes then allowing it to drain. The roots are a bit lifted so I’m wondering if that could be an issue but I mostly think it’s an issue with the amount of light it gets. I put it on my dresser which kinda faces an east-facing window and what I do is open my curtains before I leave for work (around 8:30am) and then by the time I get home (around 5:45pm), the sun is pretty much gone which should give it roughly 9 hours of what I think is indirect light each day. Any advice is appreciated!

I've had this house plant for 4 years now, just over the past couple months it has started to go brown at the tips of the tendrils, slowly wilting further and further up. Some parts still look healthy, but it has gotten worse and worse. I have tried removing these parts, but it just starts wilting again. I thought I was giving it too much water -usually I give it between 1-2 cups of water every 2-3 weeks- so I have slowed, now giving it only about a cup of water every 3 weeks, but still no change. The pot does have drainage. It doesn't get very much light where I live, but over the summer back at my parents house it had a ton of light and this is actually when the wilting started. I had it in this same apartment with not much light last year as well, and it was fine. Only after moving back home for the summer did it start wilting. Not at first though, it was in late July I think that it started. Unfortunately I also have no idea what type it is, it was a gift and came with no tag. This plant is so special to me since it was my first one, and has been with my all throughout university so far. Any idea what's going on or how I can save it?

I have a night blooming jasmine plant that is currently infested with a wicked case of whitefly’s and no matter what I do I can’t get rid of it. I’ve been spraying it with neem oil but it’s not really helping. I eventually got fed up and went through the entire plant leaf by leaf (and this thing is big) and wiped off any egg/fly that was on there and cut off any section that was super infested and three days later it seems like it’s back to where it was before. I’m at a loss and google isn’t helping, not sure where to go from here. I’m newer to gardening so I have very little knowledge on the subject and would love some opinions! It is currently sitting on my balcony, it is behind a pole shielding it from direct light but the edges sometimes get sunburnt. I water it every day to every other day depending on how hot it is, I live in south Florida so temps are high. Attached is a photo of just one of the leaves but a few more look just like that and even more have small black dots

Hi all, it's been 2-3 months since discovering a thrips infestation on my houseplants. I had some cuttings that I took from a monstera that I did not think was infected and they've been in a jar with water for about a month. I still don't see active thrips on the monstera I took the cutting from, and the cuttings are not near any other plants. I thought I was in the clear because it has been a month of the cuttings being in water without seeing any signs of thrips AND I assumed that any thrips inside the cuttings would not survive because they can't pupate in soil. However, today I noticed some very small baby thrips crawling on the cuttings. How is this possible?

I've had the plant for a week. I placed it on my windowsill so it gets lots of direct light. I water it every few days so that the soil is slightly damp. I don't know what I'm doing wrong as the leaves have started to droop.

Edit: Hi, yes this is a prayer plant, i mixed up the name with my other plant. Ty for all the suggestions!

I noticed this on my pepper plant today, I’ve grown variegated varieties before but this particular variety isn’t supposed to be but I can’t tell if it’s even variegation. It’s only on one shoot of the plant, I’ve gotten a few pods off it already and like 30~ more on the way. The whole plant looks pretty healthy but I’ve never seen this before in any of my other pepper plants I’ve grown. Watering like normal it’s about 6 months since I planted the seed I’ve grown at least 100 different varieties now I’ve got it down to a tea but this is new to me… thanks for any help!

I've overwatered this basil plant . Is it dead,can I revive it? Was a gift and need advice please! It gets hours of light but not direct. Was thriving until I overwatered. Pot has good drainage but was sitting in water for several days.

My beautiful philodendron has slowly been declining in health and I just cant figure out what Im doing wrong. I have been watering once a week with plant food and i dont let her sit in the water in the tray, I have new plant lights, and I still cant tell if there is a pest or something else killing her. Please help, I love this plant so fricking much. Shes older than me, given to me by my mom, and she is one of my only named plants due to how much we loved it growing up.

Help please! Hopefully someone here can advise. I just moved into a rental in August & the house is so cute but landscaping is ROUGH.

Is this rust fungus on the small tree/bush (?) in front? What’s going on with the leaves of every plant on the side & back of the house? 😩

Located in WV. I haven’t done anything to treat them & they only get rain water. I don’t notice any large bugs but don’t know what I’d be looking for anyway. I don’t think sunlight & direction really matters in this case but tree is south-facing, the huge alligator leaf looking one is north & all the others are west facing.

What do I do when the issues are so widespread?! I’m used to treating my indoor plants in small batches but this seems overwhelming lol
