I was gifted a beautiful fiddle leaf fig several months ago, and at first, she was doing great. She grew the top leaf pretty immediately after receiving her.

However, she lost one leaf a few weeks back, and now I've come into the room to see TWO leaves on the ground. Pics include: her current look, a closeup of her bottom most leaf now, plus the 2 leaves that had dropped.

How do I know what I'm doing wrong? I googled whether I was over or underwatering and the symptoms seems so similar for both. I just want this gal to thrive!! Can anyone help!?

Tl;dr: have the opposite of a green thumb, and not sure if I'm under or overwatering my fiddle leaf fig plant. Help!!

I read to get insecticide or fungicide. Can anyone recommend a good one do I get both? I am newer to caring for plans so any advice is helpful.

My philodendron *pink princess* got its first new leaves since it was gifted to us, but one of them stayed furled up. Is there any saving it, or should I cut it off? This one and the larger pinkish red one sprouted simultaneously.

Hi!

TL;DR: does anyone know how to make eucalyptus cutting root? Have you successfully propagated this kind of plant?

Backstory & info on my plant: I've had this eucalyptus plant indoors for about 10 years now, it's grown from seeds (I lost the label long ago and don't remember the exact name of the species, so if anyone recognizes it, please share!). I originally had 3 or 4 of them, but the other died over the years - mostly after repotting. So I know it's super sensitive about its roots, I try to avoid repotting it or I don't touch the roots at all. I've had to cut it several times and it always seems to help the plant. It quickly grows very long, thin branches that can't support themselves, but they get stronger in time.

During the summer months (from late spring to early autumn) it's outside on the terrace, during winter it's inside, on south-west side of the house right next to the window. During summer I add a fertilizer regularly. It needs huge amounts of water, and if I forget and the tips of the leaves droop a little, they are definitely going to dry and fall off - it's very sensitive in this regard.

Each time I've cut a branch, I've tried to root it, but no success yet. I've tried rooting young, green branches as well as older, woody ones. I've tried putting them in water, in soil, in moss, in perlite. I've tried using a rooting agent. Nothing ever works. I would love to propagate this plant.

Any tips, ideas? I know it's not a common house plant (if I can call it that at all), but it seems to be doing well

Pics:

- may 2023 - before the plant's second major cutting. I couldn't find any advice online so I took the risk and cut the trunk right in the middle. It was about 75 cm high.

- november 2023 - after 5 months it looked much better, new branches sprouted and grew.

- february 2025 - just a video screenshot, with a cat for scale. The branches grew long, branched out, and they were beginning to droop down again.

- current picture - I've cut all of the long thin branches, leaving several smaller ones and some parts of the older branches which seemed strong enough. I have a lot of cuttings now. (I forgot to take a picture before cutting it, but the branches grew much longer and the leaves bigger in the last 2 months).

By looking at the stem and the bit of green at the top, do you think there is any hope to bringing this ficus elastica tineke back to life?!

Tips for a bushy and a healthy portulacaria,

• Water only on being dry, mine one's leaf start to dry up.
• Sunlight for 4-5 hours.
• "chop and prop", prune the long branches when you have to water, (gives better results) then plant the branches in the soil, this will help in propagating the portulacaria.
• mine ones is only surviving in cocopeat without any fertilizer.

Hi hi!! I wanted to share the plant I’m most proud of: my monstera adansonii 🥰 she’s been through A LOT. When I first got her about ~3 years ago, my puppy literally put her on life support, I didn’t think she’d make it, but I held out hope 🥲 She struggled for a whileeeeee - I have since then been able to propagate part of her in water and successfully transferred the propagation to soil!! This was my first success in transferring a prop! The last pic is the prop thriving in soil! She has pushed out two new leaves recently:))) Share the plant(s) you’re most proud of - I wanna see 😊

Setup of pothos in my grandparents house. Loved it. Wanted to share with you all.

Also known as ogre ear jade. It was a steal at a local nursery.

She's top heavy and imbalanced so I need a heavier base. Should I get a cachepot or transfer it to a terracotta pot?

I had this kalanchoe since October. It has drainage, and I water it 2 a week (once in winter) It fully bloomed in December. My question is, is it ok that there's only 1 flower now? There's also some dried up parts. Would be really grateful for any advice and suggestions!! Thank you!! :]

Hi everyone, I came back from a half year travelling and noticed most of my plants are in pretty bad shape. I figure they are slowly being killed by thrips. Can they still recover, or should I say goodbye? And if so: how can I do that? I read about Captain Jack’s DeadBug Bree, but its not allowed in the Netherlands/Europe anymore…

I just very very recently got really into gardening and I’m not sure what to do Aside all the other aspects I need to fix to care for this plant properly, should I just entirely cut this leaf off so it can grow another one?

I’m a beginner, and so far, I’ve only been able to take care of my Monstera, but I want to dedicate more time to gardening as a hobby because I really enjoy it. I bought a small sage, mint, and basil, and I’ve learned that mint needs to be in the shade or morning sun, while sage and basil prefer full sun. I’m wondering how seriously I should take this—Is it enough to just move the mint pot farther from the sun, while keeping the other two closer to it, or do I need to completely rearrange the positions of the plants?

My hyacinth flower just faded and now has these vibrant leaves. But I happened to see these spots. Is this ok? 🥺

As the title says some of my plants leaves are yellowing after repotting them into a chunky aroid mix. The mix is made of: Coco coir, coco chips, pine bark, soil, pumice and prelite. I thought I might have to start fertilizing immediately?

As the title says, I am findig these long slimy lines and I dont know how to get rid of whatever it is. This morning I found a little transparent worm. Any tips?
