r/plant

I got this plant about 3 weeks ago. The plant gets 12 hours of LED light under a Yadoker brand light. It also sits next to a south facing window all day. It was going fine until the original leaf started becoming clear on the green side, then yellow, then greyish brown on the end. I was told it was just from over watering and the plant arrived via shipping waterlogged so I assumed that made the most sense at the time. It was also quickly pushing out a new leaf so I wasn’t worried. Fast forward to yesterday and I realized the new leaf is turning brown by one of the holes. I check for rot and of course there is some. I soaked the roots in a peroxide mix for 7 minutes and trimmed the roots with a sharp pair of scissors I cleaned with rubbing alcohol. Then I cut the rot off of this plant and potted it in a chunky mix of charcoal and coco bark. (It was sadly all I had atm same with the pot) It was originally in mostly coco fiber with some perlite. A few hours after repotting It is beginning to droop because I am drying it out so the cut roots don’t rot. I panicked and packed some sphagnum moss into the holes on the sides of the pot where roots are exposed so they aren’t fully exposed to air. I dripped water down the base of the plant hoping it didn’t touch the freshly cut roots. Today (about 8 hours later) the new leaf is still droopy but the original leaf and stem seem firm. I’m so confused and I don’t want this plant to die!

How do I keep it from wilting while also making sure the injured roots heal? This video was taken before it began drooping this was immediately after the repot. If I can I will include an image of the roots in the comments below this post.

Thank you for reading. I’m so sad about this plant, I’ve wanted it for so long and finally said screw it after being scammed off a seller on Etsy when I paid over $50 for a deliciosa albo which ended up being a Thai.

I bought this cactus a few weeks ago because I found it at the store without a pot just on the floor. I’ve never had a cactus at all, it was a in the moment decision to get him. I bought the right soil, and the pot had a drainage hole. I water him very rarely. He has been under my grow light everyday 12hr

I noticed that the red thing fell over, I started looking into it and I think it might be rotting. I saw somewhere that the green part could be saved, but I’ve noticed that some of it is going soft as well (my finger and up is all soft). Is there anyway to save part of the green, and would it grow more if I got rid of the rotting part.

I really would like to save this guy if at all possible.

Edit: I ended up cutting off all the rotting part so hopefully he will just regrow the green bit.

What plant is this? It’s in my office and I want to repot it because it’s like multiple decades old but I wanna look up the proper care for it. Posted another pic of the leaves in the comments

This plant originally had one stem now it’s grown multiple and I’m wondering if I can propagate it and how???? The shoots are growing out of the original stem.

my mom gave me her variegated monstera. it was already starting to dye and it had 3 leaves. now the stems seem to turn brown and rot and all the leaves have fallen off. it is on a windowsill with light lots of the day. i’ve been staying consistent with watering when the soil becomes dry. i thought the soil wasn’t draining well enough so i repotted it in some succulent fast draining soil i got from home depot hoping to see if that would help. i really loved this plant, what do i do to save it?!?

update:

i am attaching more photos of the plant rinsed off and not in the dirt. i appreciate your responses and went to the store and couldn’t find orchid bark but got perlite so going to to a 1:1 mix of perlite and dirt until i can get orchid bark or whatever you all suggest. i am switching to a smaller pot. i am not sure how small to go. i also looked for nursery pots as suggested but couldn’t find any so i found tiny tiny ones. please keep the advice coming! thanks!

Got this bougainvillea from local nursery. It has smaller white flowers with very faint pink hue. Looks like Jamaica White or Seafoam. Anyone knows the variety name?

Got this at a plant exchange. Cute little old lady named Pamela told me it was something she got from another plant lover 40 years ago and it’s a spreader and that it world have little yellow flowers. She said it was old fashioned but couldn’t remember the name.

Hi

It is in a clear pot with pure coco husks. I changed it to the husks in February and in the last months have seen a few roots on the edges of the pot. Watering around twice a week.

The vine has been growing quite fast but I’ve been having issues with it keeping its leaves. There’s been three new leaves that have survived. It dropped another new leaf today just above the trellis even though it grew a little bit. They seem to get a little yellow from the stem and then fall. Could it be too much water?

The ones on the right of the trellis didn’t make it cause I think I faced them down too early.

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get some advice for my philodendron selloum plant. I got him about 3 years ago now and he has grown so much since I first got him. He used to be an indoor plant with a plant light put on him but he’s gotten so large and spread out that I decided to put him on my balcony. The balcony gets mostly indirect sun, but gets some direct sun during sunrise/sunset. I’ve also repotted him just about a month ago. I’ve noticed that since putting him outside this year, his leaf production has stalled quite a bit with only 2 leaves being produced so far this year I believe. He is pushing out new aerial roots that I’ve redirected into the soil and you can see in the photo, a large root is already starting to come out of the bottom of the pot. He has also recently shed 3/4 leaves. Is there anything I should do to help try and stimulate more leaf production?

I was gifted this Meyer plants and have it for a year. I have noticing this yellow spots growing it. But could not find anything about this yellow spots on it, plus it has these black spots on underside of the leaf for some reason. Which is perfectly underneath each individual yellow spots.

If anyone can please tell me what is wrong with my plant, I would appreciate it. I also started using neem oil on it during sundown, but nothing is happening. I even add fertilizer recently and I have seen it get more greener a bit, but no new leaves. I even used a plant app, but that app just said add more fertilizer to it.

This post was initially deleted, but that’s my question — what are your thoughts on something like this? Clearly it’s a fake plant but everyone thinks it’s real

I just want to shared the Incredible bloom, the second picture it was take one week before 😍.
I think the change is beautiful!

wanted to put my pothos on a pole for bigger foliage and to save space did I do this right? I plan on getting another pole

It's really not a good picture, but I took the yellow thing in the middle of the picture off and took a closer look, and it's definitely an aphid. I haven't really found much yet, so I think I caught it early. But this is a new plant I got a few days ago and I have also quarantined it. I have it on a chair next to a window that is more or less south faced. Since I only got it a few days ago I watered it when I got it in new soil.

I have read that this plant is sensitive to water on its leaves, so I don't know if sprays would work. And I don't have many options of buying insecticidal stuff since I live in a kind of isolated area, so buying stuff online takes around a week to get to me. But I am asking what is best to do in this situation? It's a pretty plant and I'd love to keep it happy and healthy. I am also open to home remedies that work if I have the stuff to make the solutions!

Sorry for the long rant but thank you for reading!

Please tell me this isn’t a pest on my ZZ plant and just an accumulation of dust…

I’ve had this plant for a few years now, water it every two weeks or so, and it’s in a northeast facing window- never had problems with it, always grown quickly. Maybe neglected it for a few months due to being in grad school. Please help!

A real-life version of that moment and hid him in the bushes where he belongs 🌿

Crazy how a single silhouette became one of the most recognizable memes on the entire internet.
