Hey there! Hoping for some help. I've never really owned plants, but my best friend is moving out of state and gave me 6 plants she didn't want to throw away. 4 of them are looking pretty rough. They are a ponytail and a monstera, and two mystery plants, one being some sort of cactus I think. They are all getting what I think is medium light? In my apartment, which has a north facing sliding glass door and windows, and they have all been being watered once a week. They also have been getting "miracle grow tropical house plant food" once a week. Any tips to try and save these lil guys?

Just recently brought this outside from being inside over the winter. IDK what exactly I did wrong… maybe not watering it enough? I did give it 12 hours of light every day, though.

My cousin's dance club cut down this huge piece of their tree and she gave it to me. I immediately planted it into this pot and it even got some new growth super quickly, and, while I was expecting the older leaves to wilt, I didn't expect them to do so only on the sun side.

You can see a cluster of them to the bottom left and individuals spread around. We have them on raised beds near a maple tree in the yard because we were worried about the Kansas heat drying them faster then we could water. They get watered daily, they're not injured or weird looking, but they just aren't growing at all. What do we do?

Not pictured here is a Rosemary patch that's doing exactly the same, tiny little two leaf sprouts that refuse to grow further or die off.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some input on my pepper plants. Last year all my vegetable plants were explosive in growth and produce. This year they've been a bit stressed by the early heat we've had (southern Ontario) but otherwise doing well. Everything from cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, garlic, and onions are doing well.

My pepper plants, on the other hand, look terrible.

Initially I thought they were just extremely stressed from the heat, but I noticed a few of them (not pictured) are doing fine. What clicked in my head today is that the ones that are doing ok I grew from seed, and the rest are from garden centres (a semi-private one and a commercial one).

From my zero-level knowledge and subsequent Googling the answer is:

• Too much heat
• Too much water
• Too little water
• Exposure to herbicide

It's the last one that really raised my eyebrows, and seems to fit based on photos.

Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks in advance.

I've had this plant for a few months now and suddenly it is starting to shed most of it leaves.

Climate has been really hot lately with 30+ for days on end being common. As for watering I don't really have a set schedule as it rains from time to time so I'll skip a watering here and there.

We have an ornamental tree in our garden and it is completely covered in white little dots. They look like eggs or larvae, but I’ve never managed to see them move.

This is in Spain in case that’s relevant. More pics in comments.

3% hydrogen peroxide isn't killing all of them either!

Hello, I planted a dragon blood tree because I read that it can also be kept as a houseplant.

The seed has started to grow roots but so far nothing is visible on the surface. This has been going on for about two months now, so am I doing something wrong?

Update: I figured it out! This is Fiddle Leaf Fig Edema since I did not see any spider mites up close.

About 1 year old. I've left it in pot and just watched it. The rest of the seeds were grown last year and didn't survive the winter. I did overwinter and put frost cloth over them but clearly it didn't work.

Maybe too big a pot. I water every so often and just have it fertilizer.

This is a baby crape myrtle. It is currently under grow lights until the sun comes to the patio then it is outside in the sun. One day I noticed the leaves are drooping a little bit and the sides are rolling inword down. I can't figure out if I'm overwatering or under watering. Somebody please help me understand what I'm doing wrong and why it looks this way.

I mist my Alocasia Frydek every morning and it has been doing fine. It even opened a new leaf. This is the soil that it came with about 2 weeks ago. I did notice one droopy leaf but it's on the opposite side of my grow light so I think it's just going to die off (should I snip?)

Mainly, I'm wondering whether this web-looking thing is a cause for concern such as some kind of pest? It has been there all week.

Update: I filmed a video of a worm-like thing eating something with its "head" at the bottom of this screenshot. I don't know how to upload the whole video to Lemmy.

Hello everyone, I'm glad to have discovered this community! Can someone help me identify this disease? They come back even if you scrape them off the leaves!
