If you're wondering "What's wrong with my plant?", we will help you diagnose and treat it!

"What's wrong with my plant?"

You're in the right place to get the problem diagnosed as well as advice for treatment!


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES


1. Always be respectful of others.

Posts and comments that are rude to others are subject to immediate removal and the offending user will be banned without warning. It should go without saying but...don't be a dick!

2. Your post MUST be soliciting a diagnosis for a sick plant or a plant in obviously abnormal condition. Posts not soliciting diagnosis for a sick or abnormal plants will be removed.

If you aren't asking something to the effect of, "what's wrong with my plant?" or "why does my plant look weird?" then your post doesn't belong here. Requests for healthy plant care & prevention advice belong in one of the related subreddits listed on the sidebar, such as /r/gardening. All identification requests belong in other subreddits (/r/whatsthisplant for plants, /r/whatsthisbug for insects, and /r/mycology for mushrooms/fungi). No advertising allowed.

3. Your post MUST have one or more images showing the condition of your sick plant. Posts without images or with images not containing your sick plant will be removed.

It's best to include photos of the entire plant as well as close-up photos of problem areas. X-posts from other subreddits are allowed so long as the linked posts have images.

4. Share as much information about your sick plant as possible.

Posts with more info are more likely to receive a diagnosis and care advice. Examples of helpful information to include in addition to signs & symptoms of illness:

  • The species or common name of your plant. If you don't know what your plant is, /r/whatsthisplant can help you identify it.
  • How long you have had the plant and how long it has been sick.
  • Any insects that appear to be colonizing your plant. If you don't know what the bug is, /r/whatsthisbug can help you identify it.
  • If your plant has been recently re-potted, transplanted, fertilized, or moved to a new location.
  • What kind of soil the plant is in, especially if it is in a pot.
  • How often you are watering your plant and how you are watering it (top/bottom/drench method, with tap water, with fertilizer, etc).
  • Light exposure to your plant (full, partial, shade, indoors, artificial lighting, etc).
  • If your plant is in a pot: indicate the size and type of pot, if the pot has drainage holes or not, and when your plant was last re-potted.
  • If your plant is outside: indicate both your location and plant hardiness zone. Also indicate if there have been any notable weather events (sudden increase or drop in temperature, frost, hail, drought, heavy wind, etc) or application of pesticides on or near the plant.

Is this an inappropriate planting?

This plant has been balled up in the planter beside it, except it had next to no soil or stability but was thriving pretty much, I bought them last year and they were VERY healthy.. idk if this large pot will kill them but they had not been receiving much water before this. This plant almost never recieved direct sunlight

Is it possible to cut this to get denser sideways growth rather than just going up?

Help my NJoy pothos 😭

I’m not sure why she’s upset. Two weeks ago she was in pretty bad shape, so I FaceTimed with my plant friend who walked me through pulling her out of the pot and checking her roots. Roots seemed fine, so I put her back in and then trimmed her dead leaves (there were a lot). Now two weeks later leaves keep dying and she just seems sad. I water her when the top inch of soil is dry. She is sitting in semi-bright indirect light. Maybe it’s not enough light for her? Any ideas?

Yucca help!

We've had this yucca plant a couple of years now, and haven't really had any issues with it thus far. But after bringing it inside for the winter, it really seems to be struggling. The lower leaves are starting to yellow and get crunchy! We're not entirely sure what the problem could be. We watered it a few weeks ago, but it doesn't really seem to have helped the issue, and we're worried we might over water it if we keep adding more. It gets some sun, but with the way our apartment faces he might not get enough? We have a purple grow light on during some of the dark hours to try help all of our plants along, but maybe that's not enough either? If anyone knows good practices for helping this guy out, we'd really appreciate some advice!

Marble Queen Pothos repotted and brown spots now covering some leaves.

I repotted this plant because it was getting way too big for its previous pot, but not only 3 hours later it’s getting all these spots all over half its leaves. It’s my only plant I’m getting scared.

I water it once a week, it has drainage, and it’s on my windowsill where it gets light partially obstructed my a tree outside my window.

Aloe Plant Disease?

This is our biggest most aloe plant yet, but it developed this weird disease (at least we think?). It's a bumpy ring pattern that eventually turns into the brown pit you see on the leaf in the dirt. Any ideas what it is and if there is anything we can do? -Water every so often, has drainage -In window sill that gets light 1/2 day

What’s wrong with her?

From my friends big plant. Brought it home about 7 months ago she was so happy and growing new leaves. She’s looked sadder and sadder the last few weeks, and I don’t know what to do!

Can this be saved?

Spider plant. Is it over? Or can this be saved? Only those two leaves seem to be dead the rest look healthy to me but I am just a beginner so I don’t know. Any advice? I only water it when the soil feels dry and the pot does have drainage but the holes seem very small. I leave it next to a window for indirect sunlight.
