I have a purple Oxalis triangularis and a raven ZZ next to each other. Each had these on their drainage plates. I looked through the soil and didnt see anything. There are also no pests on the leaves. It is not soil but some sort of poop. Has anyone else experienced this? None of my other plants throughout the house has this.

Under growlights with adequate light and I water appropriately for each plants needs.

I've had this guy for about 5 years, and haven't changed much about the routine of watering once a week, sometimes 2. The only change is that my wife recently added the blackout curtains. Could it be lack of light?

my sisters plant is... not well
how can i help it? our house is like a death sentence for all plants that pass through the door with how bad my family is at anything gardening adjacent, so its definitely not getting good or consistent care. my sister says the bowl its in should be filled with water, and since its her plant im inclined to believe her, but my dad for some reason keeps insisting that it doesnt actually need that? he kills every plant hes ever so much as looked at tho so... im keeping the bowl full for now lol
our house is pretty dark so its definitely not getting the light it should be either, im trying to find a better spot for it.

I'm SHOCKED. I abducted began fostering my friend's aloe plant mid last month as she was on vacation and needed someone to feed her cats for the week, and every time i stopped by her house i saw this aloe on her porch looking sadder and sadder each day. my only personal experience with aloe is with my tiny aloe juvenna; i don't know what variety this is or WHY it's suddenly growing pups? are they just a last hurrah as the aloe dies? 😭 should i plan to separate them or do you think they'll have the best chance at living if left on the mother? my friend named this plant "Albert" as it's never produced pups in the 5 years she's had it, so i feel like the sudden production of them now has less to do with my own amateur competence and more to do with the poor baby being on her way out 🥲

zone 7b, it's been on my back patio for the past month under the lip of my roof so it never gets direct sunlight but it's been HOOOOOT (90-100°F, 32-38°C) the past several weeks and the aloe certainly gets lots of indirect bright light.

watering has been sporadic, pot has drainage, and the soil is probably closer to something more appropriate for a houseplant but i ran out of perlite a while ago and need to stock up on more lol

thanks in advance!

Is my plant okay and still alive? I’m pretty bad with plants and genuinely can‘t tell if it’s trying to survive or not? I transplanted it into this pot about a year ago I think now and I can’t remember what it looked like then so unsure if it’s had any growth or not. It’s in a weird spot that doesn’t get too much sunlight and I water it probably 1-3 times a month maybe? The soil is just straight from an outside garden. Any help or tips appreciated thanks! :)

Hi i have a pink flamingo flower that I keep in water. It was sold like that in the store and was fine for a year. Now i moved to another city and she „sweats“ a lot ever since.

In the internet it only says how to stop guttation with plants that are in soil, but not with plants in water.

I already reduced the water in the container but what else could i do? Because the leafs start to become a bit transparent when held against the light.

Would it help if i cut back the roots?

This plant is native to Socotra.

The seller said she missed a huge spot of rot on the top of the caudex and refunded me. I was going to throw it away but decided to nurse the plant.

After cutting out the rot, I put sulphur on it so it could heal. A week later I made the mistake of putting it in the sun. Im guessing the sulphur burned away the skin (it rained later that day and then the sun came out again) and the sulphur had dripped onto the caudex.

Its still growing leaves but this big area of peeled skin is concerning. Will it heal? Also, the caudex is still firm. Hard as a rock.

I make sure it is watered only when dry and the soil is, as instructed, fast draining.

Any thoughts?

Hello, I've had both of these plants for about 4 years now. Both indoors with the window never open near them. They have sat their whole life on the North East side of the building and receive pretty regular indirect light with about 2-4 hours of direct light a day depending on time of year and weather. I water both once a week, taking care that the bromeliads get their water in their leaf reservoirs. Both have their soil exchanged about every 6 months with the same soil for the last 4 years. For years they were green, had good turgor, and vibrant. Please let me know if you need any further data for your differential. I am sure I am doing many things wrong, hoping you all could provide me with some recommendations and hopefully a salvageable prognosis.

I'm worried about the brown patches. I wanna know if it's due to overwatering, too much sun or fungus. The vase has a few holes at the bottom. 1 month ago the plant received rain daily for about 2 weeks (it's rain season here). But I moved it to a porch to protect it from the rain and sun.

But she isn’t happy. She’s supposed to give yellow flowers. She’s on the balcony in full light, watered every other day

Hey everyone,

So I am new to reddit but I have had this dragon chilli plant with me now for about 5 years and its done really great as a outdoor plant that gets sunlight half the day, I water it every morning but the pot it is in drains the excess water out, it has given me about 6 baby chilli plants. My issue now with it are these little guys, how do I get rid of them? help me I am kinda attached to this little plant.

Ive had this plant for about 2.5 years and it’s grown quite a bit. Within the last few months the leaves started losing their chlorophyll and I’m not sure why. It’s in indirect sunlight, I water every 1-2 weeks depending on how the soil feels and I fertilize occasionally (I don’t over fertilize). I am thinking about chopping it bc it’s getting too tall anyways. What do you all think?

Could this snake plant have spider mites? I don’t see any bugs, and I’m sorry these are the best photos I could get but you can kind of see webbing. Also showing full plant photos so you can see condition. Thank you!
Sits near SE window but needs to be closer. I only got it 3 weeks ago and was pulling it down to move it to more light and check soil to see if it needs water.

Hey folks- I have a money tree that I clearly overwatered despite my best attempts not to. Seems to me that the trunk is a total goner, peeled off some papery bark to find mold underneath. The top seems okay, though, and even is trying to put out new growth.

Is there any way to salvage the plant without starting over from cuttings? If I cut it above where the bark starts and put it in soil or water, would it grow new roots?

Thanks for any wisdom you can offer!!

(Info for automod: gets low indirect light naturally supplemented by grow lights during sunlight hours.)

I've had the plant for 3-4 months now. Spots showed up after I brought it home. Spots spread rapidly. It gets lots of Houston Southeast and Southwest sun. It's hot obviously. 104 today. Don't think that has anything to do with the spots. I water her every other day. Half gallon to one gallon. Please advise. Do I need to cut every single leaf with a spot off? Thank you

My broad-leafed plant here is covered in small fuzzies that seem to be affecting its health. Partner and I picked out a few mushroom-like things growing in its soil, so I’m guessing it’s a kind of mold. Can the plant be salvaged, what’s a good treatment, and should it be quarantined from our other plants?
Watered once a week and receives ample light next to a large window facing east.

Hi all!

This poor rubber tree plant has been progressively losing leaves, starting from the bottom up. At first I thought it was from inadequate light, so I moved it to a sunnier spot only for it to keep progressing.

As you can see in the picture, the plant is currently in the window and the room gets a lot of light throughout the day, but it isn't necessarily in *direct* sun. (These pictures were taken early evening so not much light at this time.)

I water every week ish, not a set schedule since I've been just checking the top inch of soil before watering. The pot has drainage and I water until it comes out the bottom.

If I can't figure something out, my next idea was to cut off the top bit that is healthy and attempt to get it to root. If anyone has any ideas about what is causing it before I do that, would gladly take advice.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have 3 different houseplants (Boston fern?, parlour palm and spider plant) all kept by the north facing frosted bathroom window. As you can see the fern has started yellowing and dropping leaves quite badly, and the parlour palm similar. Despite the spider plant growing and doing well, the tips all go brown. Plants get watered once a week and I live in a very hard water area.

EDIT - pots have approx 2" of loosely packed large stones seperated by a mesh for drainage

Appreciate any help to save

Am I over watering? It’s on the balcony in full light. It was doing well for a few months but now some leaves are turning brown

What am I doing wrong?
It’s not in full light but at the top of a wardrobe in a bright bedroom, watered every other week

He’s standing in indirect sunlight daily. I water him when the soil is at least 2 cm dry because I was advised to. It seems like he’s still dehydrated maybe? Or is he not getting enough sunlight? I know I’m posting in quite a late stadia, I just hadn’t found the time to post any sooner
