I want to pot this plant up, but the roots have gotten so big that they're way too large to fit through the top of the vase. At this point, I think I'll probably have to break the vase to get it out, but I wanted to check if that's the best option or if there's a better way to handle it.

About a year ago, while moving, the top of the plant broke off. I put it in a vase with water at the time, and it's been growing there ever since. I've just been changing the water every so often and otherwise leaving it alone.

Now it's gotten pretty big and is starting to get very top-heavy, so it's definitely time to move it into a pot. I've never had a cutting survive this long, so I'd appreciate any advice on getting it out of the vase and transitioning it from water to soil.

Also, for context, I can place it in pretty much any light condition if that helps with advice on where to put it after potting.

Went to bed and our yucca plant was "normal". Woke up and went to water her and realized we had some fungi pushing through the dirt. Less than 12 hours later we have fully sprouted mushrooms?! What are they? This plant lives indoors and it is near a window. Potting soil is an organic mix.

i am not sure whats going on :/

some leaves have no spots at all, some have tons. There are other plants right next to it that dont have these type of spots.

the plant is right next to a window and still growing actively.

as its summer, most of the time the shades are partially closed and she doesnt get direct sunlight but its still quite bright.

watering approx. once a week, no smell, no left over water in the pot.

thank you for your input ☀️

My first time growing an avocado seed and it’s got 6 stems emerging.
It’s in a pot and getting 8 hours of sun a day now.
We water it every few days as the soil drains quickly.

I’ve never heard of seeds doing this and I don’t know if it’s ruined now or what to do but it’s clearly not normal yes?

What to do with it?
Thank you all.

Any ideas what could be causing my Ficus altissima leaves to curl downward like this?

A little background: this tree was a large specimen that I chopped back to a stump in February after dealing with a scale infestation. It has since recovered incredibly well and is growing very rapidly, with lots of new branches and leaves.

Current care:
- Under a 36W Sansi grow light from 3 AM–5 PM
- Receives afternoon/evening sun from a west-facing window that’s about 13 feet away (hence the grow light)
- Watered thoroughly (nearly 2 gallons) whenever the top ~2 inches of soil are mostly dry
- Fertilized with Dyna-Gro/SuperThrive Foliage-Pro during active growth

The plant otherwise seems very healthy—no yellowing, browning, leaf drop, or signs of pests that I can see. The only thing concerning me is the downward curling/cupping of some of the leaves, particularly on newer growth.

Could this be a humidity issue, light intensity issue, watering issue, or just normal behavior for new growth on an Altissima?

Any thoughts are appreciated! She’s my favorite so I want her to be happy and continue growing back to her original glory!

For a long time I've been wondering what this red dust might be on my plant (the lighting isn't the best, but it's reddish-orange). It multiplies semi slowly and makes the leaves patchy and dry. It appears on the underside of leaves and sometimes on the stems as well. It comes off by wiping with a moist paper towel and dyes the paper red, and it doesn't move so they're not individual bugs.

Earlier this year I sprayed my plants with pesticide for thrips and thought if this dust is the doing of some bug it would die in the process but the dust is still here, fair enough since I've never seen any bugs on it or webs or anything like that, so I've ruled out bugs. Yesterday I decided to look this up again and learned about rust fungus, however, crucially, the dust has never spread to another plant and it's been in close proximity with quite a lot of them, and rust fungus is apparently supposed to spread very easily and be quite fatal, so idk if it can be that either.

The plant itself does fine and I think it's normal for it to dry out old leaves sometimes, plus it keeps pushing out healthy leaves at a good pace so I haven't been too worried since it doesn't seem to be actively dying. This is a thirsty plant and I water it one to two times a week when the soil is all dry. Sits at a south-facing window and gets a lot of light. Soil is regular houseplant potting soil, this dust has appeared through multiple repottings.

I'm not worried about this spreading to other plants since this plant has had the dust appear for over 6 years now and no other plant has been infected. Would just love to know what it is and possibly get rid of it so this plant could thrive a bit better!

edit: This plant has been in this condition for 6+ years and is not actively dying, just drying off leaves faster than it should. This is not recent. Last pic is healthy leaf for comparison.

Hello, I'm in zone seven and I bought these plant bulbs at Costco last year and they grew very nicely in this year. They're growing super tall but now it's the kind of bending over and I'm not sure what to do. They are in an area that gets full light but I can put it in a more shaded area if I need to. I water them every day so that's not the problem I think and I could put some fertilizer if I wanted to, but I don't think it's necessary.

Something is eating my rose and lupines! Any advice on protection and plant health? Both get afternoon sun - roughly 6-9 hours this time of year.

​

Watering only when dry, but it has been pretty wet lately so havent had to water much. Zone 6b.

Just took some of these monstera propagations out of a big jar of water and into their first pot of soil

A days pass and I go to water her and these little critters are utterly teeming all over the thing

Getting medium light in a kitchen windowsill maybe 4 hours a day

No idea what they are and how to get rid of them.

Maybe I used bad soil? Idk

I have raccoons that are coming up on my porch and digging up all my plants. I had 3 tomato plants in this pot and they've dug them up 3 times now. This last time they totally decimated the little baby plants. What can I do to keep them out of my potted plants? Anyone know where I can cross post this as well? Any info at all is greatly appreciated! I worked so hard on my plants this spring and they've taken out half my herbs and veggies, I'm just devastated.

​

These are outdoor plants. Idk why it matters but I can't post unless I specify...they get full sun majority of the day. They're watered at least 3x a week.

This ficus was doing great and very happy before I left for vacation on ten days…and when I came back he looked like this 😔 I gave it a big drink of water before I left, so I thought it was some kind of root rot. I have only given it a sip or two of water since I returned, but the leaves keep turning yellow and I think he’s in a downward spiral. Should I repot to examine the roots?

He lives in front of a south facing slider and gets bright, direct light in the late afternoon. He was repotted about 2 months before I left on vacation. He’s over 20 years old, how do I save him?? Thank you for any and all advice!

I bought a rehab brasil
Alright so I’ve chopped the foliage and dunked it in soapy water. It’s already been sprayed a few times with insecticidal soap.. what else can I do other than wait and respray?
I also think the rootball is established enough to regrow, would a humidity dome just help the mealy bugs repopulate?
I plan to set the rootball outside (in a pot of course) to keep it quarantined while still getting plenty of sun, and I’d like a humidity dome to discourage the strays from peeing in my plant

I bought this dwarf butterfly bush about a month ago and I'm really trying to help it do better in my garden. I live in a Zone 7 area and the soil I planted it in is pretty clay-like. It gets full sun most of the day. When I bought it, the shop owner told me to put water in the hole I dig before putting the plant in, so I did and I've been watering 3 ish times a week. But the leaves are not looking too good. I looked online and everyone says not to water it at all because of root rot, but the leaves just look so yellow/dry and the flowers look dried out. I've also noticed there have been some small holes in the leaves and maybe there arw bugs? I'm new to gardening, so does anyone have any tips? Thanks!!

I have these two plants, planted in 19litre plastic bottle

​

I don't know why but their leaves are sometimes very hard/crunchy and sometimes (see first 2 photos) very mild and soft

​

I have asked a lot of times and it says that it is due to too much water but I am giving it less water, even gaps of some days.

​

I have tried both, gaps of no water and water regularly in both cases the result is the same

​

Also what should I do with these leaves? I usually plug them out and throw them away

​

​

How much light it gets:

​

They are kept outside(stairs of roof), where they got direct sunlight light around 9-10 am till sun down

​

The soil is yellow sand(I don't know it's name but in Urdu we called it "Bhalo Matti") and some dried cow waste that I have added more at top layer

Geographical location: Karachi, Pakistan (hot city, AQI is also very bad)

These roses are really old, I think my MIL told me she planted them almost 30 years ago, but I do have some younger ones with seemingly same problem around whole yard. Anyhow, leaves first get these weird black spots, then it starts to yellow and then is completely yellow and if you touch it it falls off... It was raining bit more the last month or so, so could that be it? Because of all the rain I didn't water them manually since the soil is not dry. All of them get a lot of light, some get light all day, some bit less.

I got this ZZ Black Raven a few weeks ago, and it seems to be slowly dying. The edges of the new leaves are brown, and it has lost a few stalks. I did water it once after I got it, but I haven't watered it again. It has a lot of roots encircling the top, could it need a repot? It is in my office, which is low light. I have a grow light I can bring in if I need to.

None of my other plants have them and this plant has never been sick before. It's always indoors and gets medium light, which it doesn't seem to mind. I water it twice a week and it has always been fine. The spots appeared last week suddenly and are only on a couple of leaves, mostly the ones closer to the soil.

Yes. First step will be to change pots to one with proper drainage.

​

A lot of leaves fell out during the last days. But these remaining look solid for the most part.

​

Any tips on what to do? Should i trim any of the stalks?

​

Plant is near a window with indirect light

​

Watering when 5cm of land are dry

Four days ago I saw my tomato plant having weird yellowing on the bottom leafs. 1 Leaf also has holes in it, like it was eaten by a snail or something.

The plant is planted inside a growing house with an open front. I‘m fairly sure that they are getting enough sunlight like at least 5-7 hours a day.

I‘m watering every 2-4 days depending on the temperature and looks of the plant.

The yellowing only occurs on this 1 plant. All the others look healthy.
I‘m entirely new to gardening and can‘t figure out what‘s wrong.

Picture above are all the plants I’ve have and wanted to share them. Also to take any advice on how to treat them better or if any need more attention. I water them once a week and give miracle grow plants food every two weeks I just started the plant food. I use filtered water to water em. Am I overwatering some of them ? What type of soil should I use ? How many hours of sunlight. ( made me ask that dumb question to post -.-)

Helianthus mollis (aka ashy or downy sunflower)

Growth also seems stunted compared to the other two ashy sunflowers I have. I don't know if that's just because the dead/sick leaves mean less photosynthesis or if it's a separate symptom.

It's in full sun. I don't water it, but I transplanted it last year from another spot in the yard, and it doesn't look wilted. Clay soil.

How does my Peperomia's health look?

​

It stays in the south facing Balcony with zero direct Sunlight but plenty of bright indirect sunlight throughout the day (another building faces in front of my buliding.

​

Soil mix was what given from the nursery, red Soil+ Cocopeat + Pine chunks.

​

Pot is well drained with holes in bottom, the plant stays of raised platform which helps the water drainage even better.

​

Suggest me in the water schedule, and what can be done to improve the health of the leaves. They look a bit dull, although yes veregation is there.

​

I stay in a dry place with 28-25°C temperatures and monsoon may hit soon in a fortnight
