It’s a lysimachia nummularia (goldilocks creeping Jenny)

I have made a severe and continuous lapse in judgement and kinda neglected this guy, it was in a pot too big with too little sunlight and a little too much water. A lot of the roots have rotted but it's still holding on by a thread, what is the best course of action? Repot or let it propagate for a while?

Hello, I have been growing this avocado tree for a little over a year, maybe closer to two? It has been growing very leggy and it’s my first ever tree I started from seed. I had no idea that I should’ve been trimming to help it bush more, so two days ago I decided to try just cutting it mostly in half but leaving two nodes(?) I have it on a 12on/12off cycle with RBWhite full spectrum grow lights and since the weather has warmed up it’s been outside more often. Getting full to partial sun for a majority of the day. As for watering I water it once every 2/3 weeks or until the soil is dry. I’m very cautious to ensure it’s not just sitting in wet soil

However, I cut ALL the leaves off instead of leaving one. How bad did I mess up? I’ve started two more pits and I’m trying to propagate the cuttings from this plant.

Also, I now have learned the pit shouldn’t be fully buried as it is with this one. Does that contribute to the leggyness? TIA!

I have two plumeria tree, about 8 feet tall. Other one is green leaves and nicely flowering. This one started put like that but past few weeks yellowing of leaves, curling of new leaves, flowers seems to have lessened significantly and I see some brown/dry spots in leaves and very few but white fuzzy spots. Please help.

It gets plenty of sunlight and has a drain system. Over the past 2 or so weeks, I noticed this happening. I appreciate the help

I was gifted a couple of lambs ear from my mother in laws garden! I was wondering, am I able to cut these right back to grow them small and bushy rather than tall and lanky? Also, I'm limited to growing things only in pots, how big of a pot would one recommend?

Pink Tiger seedling with no chlorophyll. What are the odds it produces leaves with any green? Is there any hope for it or could a small graft be possible to help it grow?

My one year old avacado is drooping constantly no matter how much i water it or don't water it, i plucked the lower leaves awhile back because they were yellowish, and i check the seed ball, it looked a little rough like they were rotting but they felt very solid so i didn't seperate because I've heard horror stories that other people accidentally disconnecting the seed from the plant and the plant dying. What do I do?

Can someone please tell me what happened to my parlor palm? It has been on the porch for 3 days, no temperature under 55. No direct sun. I am at a loss. What can I do now? Cut stems to soil level? Give up? Could something have been poured on it? I am so upset. TIA

They’ve been growing in a greenhouse. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Looked up the latest likely date for frost in my area and put them out a week after that, weather app didn’t say anything about cold weather and it literally frosted that same night. ☹️
Not sure what some of them even are, there are quite a few succulents/cactuses and a couple spider plants. I’m not very knowledgeable about plants. I inherited these from a family member who passed away that was living with me and they had been kinda neglected in a back room that is a mess so was really hard to get to them to water and take care of them. That’s why I wanted to put them outside as we had done before once the frost was clear.
The plants are getting plenty of light outside though it’s been pretty cloudy and unfortunately colder than I thought it’d be this late in the year and get watered a couple times a week.
If there’s anything I can do to save any of them I would really appreciate any and all advice!

Hiya guys, recently attached my 2 monsteras to a coco coir pole for support. I feel like I've put the plant ties in the wrong place on the stems and it might prevent growth. But I also may be overthinking anything haha. Is it ok? Or Where is the right place?
Any responses are greatly appreciated

I got these Elephant Ears less than 2 weeks ago. The lady I bought it from said it would love morning light so I put it in front of my house (facing east) on a Wednesday. That Sunday morning, I noticed some light spots on the leaves and by the time I got home from work, they looked like this. I brought them inside to not continue getting sunburnt(?) and they've continued looking worse throughout this week, minus the new growth that has been thriving and the biggest leaf seems stable. She did say that the first leaf (first pic, bottom right) would eventually die and allow for new growth. I haven't watered at all since bringing it inside on Sunday as the soil is still moist. My question is, where do I cut the dying leaves off? Closer to the leaf, closer to the base, etc? I want to do what I can to keep this plant alive and flourishing!

i got this from an event and they never said what it was or how to care for it! i checked an app and it said it needs help asap but i had to pay to actually figure out how to help it, so maybe reddit can!

Hello all, thank you for taking the time to even read my post and try to help me save my plant Charlie. Okay so he has a new leaf that Is growing up top. But also leaves that are dying down at the bottom. For some time I had moved him to my room and so I’m thinking he wasn’t getting enough light so I moved him back to where I’ve had him since I got him. Please don’t judge I am new to being a plant mom and this is the longest I’ve had a plant baby. The sticks supporting him standing up are chopsticks. From my research I should switch those to bamboo sticks asap. Before he got sick an employee at Home Depot recommended I switch him from the generic soil he came home in to the one in the last picture. I’ve had him many months and never changed his pot. How will I know if maybe he needs more room? His pot does have drainage at the bottom. I only water him when I stick my finger in his pot and it comes out completely dry. Any recommendations for artificial lights I can buy to get him to stay in my room with me if that’s the suspected issue? Should I snip the brown leaves and if so how? I also haven’t been talking to him lately due to depression and being in bed. That’s why I tried to move him to my room so maybe that’s part of the reason. I used to talk to him daily in the am and during my meals. I was thinking to buy him a buddy to live next to and hopefully that could help him as well. Please ask as many questions as you may need to help me, thank you again for reading!

Hi everyone,

Something is wrong with my plant for a few weeks now. It looks sad and is drooping from above. I water it when the soil is dry. It is placed next to a window so it gets sufficient light. I also noticed the bottom leaves keep turning brown and falling off. At the top I do get new leaves though. So I don’t understand whats wrong and what it needs. Can someone please help me?

Thanks in advance.

Brown spots on top and underside of ruby elastica. Water when shes almost completely dry.

Gets bright indirect and partial afternoon sun.

Soil is chunky blend of top soil, sphagnum, Cypress mulch, perlite, sand, wormcastings, and orchid bark.

Please help me save my baby

Hello! I have a zebra plant where the leaves have fell off. I see new growth ? where a tiny leaf has grown but it has stayed the same size for at least 3 months. There also a small leaf where I have circled in Red right above a leaf and it hasn’t grown either. Will these ever grow bigger?

I’ve had terrible luck trying to grow coleus from seed. Out of 15 seedlings only 2 have gotten to this point and now this guys leaves are getting funky. What am I doing wrong?
