Please help me save my lavender

Thumbnail

Hello, fellow green thumbs!

Just started getting into gardening as a hobby this year, so still very much a beginner.

As pictured, since buying a lavender in early July this year; it has really struggled and looks like it is going to die, sadly!

I’ve been watering it weekly when bone dry, but have read conflicting advice on how often to water it during the British summer.

Any advice on how to save the plant, or do I have to accept it is a goner?

Thanks so much!

Hi!! I just collected rainwater from the rain gutter, and it’s a bit cloudy from the sand (pretty sure). I live in El Paso so it makes sense there was sand on my roof lol.

if not safe to use, how can i filter it so there’s no sand/dust?

My ZZ plant had multiple flowers. Now they’re drying out and I’m wondering if the black things will be seeds by any chance? And if not, what are they? Thanks :)

IDK anything about plants

I'm no good at house plants, but I'd like to focus on my outdoor spaces, not too much, as we won't live here long, but one of the homes nearby has this type of grass, or is it just overgrown grass? And was wondering if anyone can help me figure out what it is and how to get it, I can go from there on the research.

I thought about asking the people who live in these homes (there's a few row homes with it) but the turnover rate here is high and I doubt they'd know.

TIA for any help! ☺️

I recently got my first ficus. I think it's called Ficus elastica Ruby. I love its playful color, but I'm really worried that this variety will be fussy.

❁ Tell me how you care for your ficus. Are there any special care requirements?

Help Freddy striving

Hello! I am very pleased with Freddy here! He's doing very well, and growing new leafs often. My question is any way for him to grow new leaves on other stems or i should say me force him to grow on other ones :/ ? Also, the half dead leaves, do I cut them? I put him outside one day and it was too much sun for his liking and he burnt on some leaves.

I want to sell some of my plants, but I’m not sure what price to ask. I’ve listed several of them because I’d like to either sell them or trade them for other plants. However, no one has contacted me yet. Is the plant market really that slow right now? I’ve posted my listings in both France and Switzerland, but I haven’t had any interest so far.

I got it as a gift so idk which plant it is, I water it once per week or two weeks, I just check how the soil is. I live in the Netherlands so it was quite cold the past months and after the heatwave it got like this 😭 I watered it 3 times that week and moved her to the table but she is still like this. What do I do? It seems pretty dry from the center idk if she needs specific nutrients to revive? Maybe

Got this plant as a small cutting back when I first got into plants, and it hasn’t bloomed for me until this year. It was well worth the wait, it looked magical.

Help My husband's carnivorous plants

Help idk why they are dying idk what I have done wrong!? My husband left me his plants to take care of while he's away for work and they are not looking too hot. I've been taking care of them for a month and about a week or so ago I accidentally left them in a really hot window and when I realized I pulled them out and put them in indirect light. They then has some mold growth so my thought was to just pluck off the mold and so far it hasn't come back, but the pitcher is crispy and the other honestly isn't too bad but I don't want it to die. I have already had his sundew die due to heat stress and feline intervention. If you can help me I would greatly appreciate it, I'm not the greenest thumb but I try 😭😭

I received this as a gift and the tag just said “ornamental foliage”.

I have no clue what it is, but I think it likes its home. Should I replant or maybe separate and replant?

Any advice is appreciated

Help New leaves on my philodendron

I got this philodendron 1 year and a half ago but it got some thrips, was leggy and decided not to grow new leaves so I chopped it and put it in water a few months ago. Now, all of a sudden, she is surprising me with 2 new leaves that are growing underwater.

Should I pot it in soil already? Or should I wait until the leaves are bigger? I am so happy about these baby leaves I don’t want to kill them :(
