I have an alocasia variegated frydek that just came out with a full white leaf (still unfurling, seen as lime right now). And then I have this flower bud that’s been taking dayssss to bloom.

My alocasia is usually so happy with 7 leaves and all of them are drooping bc of the extra energy. Wondering if I should cut bc of all the wasted energy cause it’s a WHITE leaf :(

Soooo advice: should I cut the white leaf? The flower bud? Both?

Thanks in advance!!

Repoted into succulent mix and it now is showing signs of rotting. I thought I was only watering when necessary but I am new to being a plant dad. Any advice would be appreciated!

Plant is healthy and flowering regularly but something is eating the leaves. Any idea what it can be?

Plant is in a 12 inch pot in balcony with ample shaded sunlight and daily watering.

Had to replant so used seashells a pebbles and water. Never had one , will this work?

The soil is kind of moist like a centimeter down. Tried brighter and less bright spots, but it keeps getting drier in the leaves. I can’t figure out if it’s overwaters or underwatered, but I think because the leaves are so dry it’s underwatered? Right now it gets lots of afternoon light. The pot has drainage, and I was watering about once a week.

What’s the cause of this??? Underside of almost all the leaves!

I’ve had this monstera for 3 years, bought when it was 1/3 this size. It’s been loving the humidity and sun outside during the warmer months (in Georgia) the past 2 years. (Was inside a dark apartment and didnt fertilize the 1st year, I was new to plants) Last year, it was finally putting out some large beautiful leaves with fenestrations, and mid-summer I spent almost 2 hours (typical) repotting and trying to disentangle my monstera. The two stems were facing opposite each other, and I tried to make it so they both face the same way so the backs were matched up. I don’t think I was very successful. They naturally just didn’t want to change their positions. It’s now super lanky and tall and even though I tried to bury the post solidly, it still leans heavily. Over the winter I had it under its first strong grow light and that’s what made the couple newest leaves stand up so tall over the past few months….thought it was a good thing but now all the lower leaves are just drooping. It just put out a new leaf as well last week.

I just brought it back outside yesterday and was looking at it wondering what I should do about it…should I just cut it off at the bigger healthier part of the stems after the topmost few nodes and try to propagate/ start over in water? I saw a video of someone doing that successfully once but I feel like its such a huge risk. What would be the best way to go about that? Should I just try cutting one off first? And yes, that is a little baby one next to her that I propagated a while ago. It’ll be it’s first time outside this year and I hope to grow this one better. Do I give up on the big one and just go for a thai/albo instead? I don’t want to give up on her completely - I worked hard to get it to where it is now, but everything under the healthy, thicker top part is so sad looking. Its definitely time to start fertilizing again and I know it always perks up once it’s been outside for a while, but with how it looks right now, it’s not bringing me much joy anymore. Would i have a shot starting over by water propagating from the biggest healthiest nodes? Please help, any advice is much appreciated!

I just bought this, I didn’t have my glasses on and didn’t see this damage… is it saveaeble? I’m not sure how much light or water she was getting as I bought her from a cafe. Shall I change the soil?

I got this from someone 2 days back. Is this sunburn, watering issue or some kind of infection?

Right now it is in my south east facing balcony where it gets plenty of bright indirect sunlight (I am avoiding direct light as it is very hot here). Not sure how it has been watered earlier but as of now soil doesn't look too wet.

How do I address this?

I received Monstera plant today. The plant I received was in very dense and quite hard soil. I thought of reporting it and when I tried to remove the plant from pot, it looks like I damaged the plant but I'm not sure.

Now I am clueless how to proceed with these pieces. What are my options?

My dragon tree leaves have been starting to go all dry and yellow in places. It gets watered every couple of weeks and doesn't get direct sunlight.

I recently bought this daisy plant and it is starting to grow flower buds, but they are this color like it is dry. I water them daily and have pruned the dry parts. But I'm worried that the buds won't bloom. It gets like 4/5 hours of direct sunlight. The soil is organic germination substrate with a bit of 17 17 17 compost. It is my first time taking care of this kind of plant, any advice? I would appreciate it very much

Has been growing great for about a year since two months it has been yellowing and dropping leaves. I tried to dry it out fully before watering it again, last week I changed the soil and got a bigger pot but it just got worse(more yellow leaves) how can I help her?😭

So I know it isn’t a lot to go off of, but I bought these pods at the dollar store and planted them in my garden. I got the life of me can’t remember what they were and when I went into the website to look for them I couldn’t find them anywhere. Again I know this isn’t a lot to go off of, but could anyone identify what kinda plant it is? I know it’s supposed to bloom into pink flowers by summer time (per the package).
