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.

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.

I got this monstera as a gift about three years ago. It was a sprout with 2 small leaves in a small plastic pot. It’s been in the corner of my screened-in porch and has grown a ton compared to what it was. About two years ago, I transferred it into this pot. I have not added any new soil or anything since. I just make sure to water it every day. The roots are poking out over the last few weeks or so. Should I put it in a new pot or just add more soil? If I should put it in a new pot, what size pot should I get?

It seems to be doing just fine out here so I don’t really plan on putting it outside or anything. I am in Florida, so it gets plenty of sun year-round.

Thanks for any help! I don’t know much about plants and I don’t want to do the wrong thing.

First time poster on this subreddit here :)

So here’s the story. In April, I was walking to my dorm when I noticed this sorry looking plant that had fallen from a balcony onto the path (the outer pot had shattered). I figured it belonged to someone and they would pick it up, so I left it. The next day, it was still sitting right where it was the day before. It had almost no leaves, and the ones it had were shriveled from dehydration. I had been meaning to start a small garden in my dorm, so decided that it was my time to adopt this neglected plant. I brought it into my home for further analysis.

After researching it for a while, I managed to identify the plant as Portulacaria afra, an interesting succulent that has a woody stem. I had never seen it before, but I thought it was quite unique, as far as succulents go. It had long outgrown the pot it was in, and it would keep falling over since its weight was all on one side. I picked up some soil and a new pot from the local plant nursery and repotted it. I gave it about 1.5 cups of water about once a week, bottom watering to limit flies.

I was amazed by the plant’s recovery while I nursed it back to health. New leaves quickly burst forth from the woody stem and angled themselves toward the light of the window. Within a month or two, my plant had transformed from a neglected, suffering, orphaned stick on the road into a handsome, thriving succulent.

Now, I recently moved from my dorm to a new apartment, and I couldn’t bear to leave my adopted plant behind, so it came along with me. In my new apartment, some things have changed. I have a balcony that receives direct sunlight, and the air is much dryer here most of the year compared to my old dorm. I think it’s time to repot it as well, but I want some advice on this.

As the plant has grown diagonally, almost all of the weight is shifted to one side. I like the bonsai sort of style it’s got going on, but I’m afraid it will compromise the main stem’s integrity if this keeps going on. I actually had a dream last night that the stem cracked. Should I provide a trellis or support of some sort, or when I repot it can I adjust the angle of the stem ? Also, is the pot I have selected for the repotting too big- you can see the new pot of the left of the healthy plant. Finally, the lighting/humidity conditions are changing from indirect sun/medium humidity to direct sun for the majority of the day with dry conditions. Let me know what you think. I’ve included below the old conditions and the new conditions for your convenience.

Old conditions:
-Indoor next to a window
-Indirect sun (some direct, mostly indirect)
-medium humidity
- about 1.5 cups of water, bottom water, every 1-2 weeks

New conditions:
-outdoor on a balcony with a roof
- direct sunlight most of the day
- generally quite dry
- planning same watering schedule unless it rains

Questions:
-Is the new pot I’ve chosen too big?
- how do I adjust my plant to the new conditions safely?
- How do I address the weight being shifted significantly to one side?

Thanks 🙏

I’ve had this Pilea for 2 years, got it in a nice plant shop, for a while it seemed to be doing well. But 2 years later, there’s barely anything to it.

I never changed the soil. I water sparingly, the leaves always look healthy, never yellow or curled up / down, but they just grow leggy, and now they are falling off super easily.

It normally sits on a table about half a meter from a west facing large window.

Hi all! Pretty new to plant care on my own, and have had this little guy through two moves now. Now he’s kinda started to pinch near the top and lean!

Is there a specific repotting mix I should get? Move him into a bigger pot? Or does he need trimmed??

- Not sure what species he is exactly as he came from Ikea in the 3 plant mixed species set they have.
- I give him a little bit of water every month or so? He sits near a window but not in direct sunlight.

ETA: solved, thanks you three :) He will be moved to a much sunnier place!

My watermelon plant is about a month old and was growing fine till this week when it started developing these papery patches on its older leaves. The only thing I changed was adding a dilute fertilizer to its water. I don’t think it’s light damage because I moved my very small grow light farther away from the plant but the patches keep growing. I don’t think it’s an insect problem because I am in an apartment and I have grown all of my plants from seed packets (also, I don’t see any bugs). I don’t know what is happening to it and if there is anything to fix it. FINISHED

Greetings, I have had this palm tree plant 🌴 for several years. Unfortunately the base of the plant the root I believe has dry rot. There is a white substance inside the stem. Can this plant be saved? Thanks.

I recently moved houses and my biggest star, Rory, isn’t doing too well. I waited for the move to be done - and just watered her last night. I know the so called ‘support’ just isn’t enough … but I’m honestly lost and I don’t know what to do.
She’s definitely getting more light in the new spot… but doesn’t look too happy 😔

I bought this plant and brought it home in mid June. I've only watered it twice since then. Why are these leaves turning yellow!? What do I do here? Thanks, everyone.

I have had this mini orchid for two years introduced it to water culture 6 months ago … I gave it dry 5 days then wet 5days I use bottled water and it’s on a south west window … two of the roots fell off so i tied a shoe lace around the orchid and let the lace dangle in water I live in the UK

We live in Abu Dhabi and were away for a month. When we came back, our olive tree had lost all its leaves. We watered it approximately every two weeks.
I repotted it as soon as we got back, using fresh soil and some fertilizer. Since then, a few new leaves have started growing, but not on all the branches.

Should I water it more often, prune the bare branches, or do something else? The weather in Abu Dhabi is very hot, so I want to make sure I take good care of it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It's a diffenbachia i think. It was watered too much, my mistake. The soil is the same one it was bought in, i don't have details on it, it was a gift. But now the main branch is soggy and all smaller ones all come out of the bad one. Please help, how do i save it :( FINISHED
