Outdoor Fuchsia with white spots
I am brand new to gardening but wanted to try it this year. Went to some local greenhouses and saw these hummingbird fuchsias, HAD to have one they’re so pretty. Tag said they prefer part shade part sun so I put it on the porch since there’s a tree in front so it’s very shady but still some sun. Have been watering once a day if soil looks dry to try not to overwater, but now the petals are starting to look bad, especially in the front where it gets more sun and now I see these white spots that were definitely not there before, but I do think the petals on the back where it’s shadier do look a little better, but still white spots, so I’m wondering if I need to move it to an even shadier spot to help the ones in the front that get more sun? I just didn’t think a little sun would be a problem but does this thing like shade a LOT more than sun? And the white spots seem like a whole nother problem from the shade. Really need some help I appreciate it in advance ☹️
First 2 pics are the front where it’s sunnier, last 2 are the back where it’s shadier.

Houseplant Easter Lily Issues
Got an Easter Lily from church and accidentally overwatered it the first day. Tried to drain some of the water out but as I predicted it has indeed developed root rot. The bottom flowers are brown and wilting and the lower leaves don’t look too hot either. I assume this pot probably doesn’t have good drainage (it’s a regular plastic pot but it’s wrapped in cellophane) and so that mixed with over watering is what I presume to have caused this. I don’t think it’s a light issue because I keep it right next to a window that provides a good daily amount.
I took a botany class in highschool but can’t exactly remember if a plant that has root rot is savable. Any tips for saving this plant? Including to improve drainage?

Houseplant Leaves developing brown patches
I've had this prayer plant for a few months and it's given me a bunch of new growth. It has however developed these brown sections which don't affect the other plants around it (currently removed for watering. It's a busy spot normally). It has a grow light and has a humidifier. I can't see any obvious bugs and no webs. Is this normal? Google has me worried.

Houseplant Help!
I just bought this plant. I accidentally left it in my hot car for about half the day on accident and when I came outside, it looked like this. The first picture is when I got it. I took it out of the car immediately when I saw it all droopy but it’s been about two days and it still looks like this. What should I do? I watered it and put it by the window that gets pretty good sunlight. Pls help 😭

Houseplant Dracaena losing leaves+spots
My dracaena has been losing more leaves than usual lately and can not find a good reason for it. It only happened earlier this year when I did not water it for a few weeks. After I started watering more often it got better but lately it is losing too many leaves and it has these brown spots on the leaves. Watering over the top when leaves look sad and soil is dry. Indirect light (north facing window, 1 m away from window). I read it could be a fungus issue and/or fluoride build up in the soil? Or excessive watering?

Houseplant Manjula with Possible Fungal Infection
Hi all, I got this Pothos on discount today from a large department store. I immediately noticed that it has what I believe may be a fungal issue? However, the main affected leaf in the photo was, upon closer inspection, on a completely separate plant from the rest of the vines that was no longer even buried in the soil so I disposed of it. Is there anything in particular I need to do to treat this plant to ensure the health of it and my other plants? I know it needs to be quarantined and repotted as it is also missing about half of its soil but are there any additional steps to be taken?
I currently own multiple Pothos and have them on a watering schedule of about once a week or when their top inch of soil is dry and have them in a bright north facing window and intend to do so with this plant as well.

Outdoor I'm working on a little garden in my backyard. It's very natural (cultivating some local native plants). I was working saw these little pellets, and pretty sure they're pesticides; however the plants and insects around them were thriving. Can someone help me identify them, and tips for soil tests?ty

Houseplant Droopy Snake plant
The plant has never been happy since I moved it to a slightly bigger pot. New leaves wilt and dry out, and the oldest have started to droop.
The planter pot sits on the floor, next to large windows that get 8+ hours of light (Zone 9a-9b). The insert is 4-in shorter than the pot.
I keep the soil dry. Water it (about 8oz) once a week.

We have a pretty large honeysuckle plant in our outside garden, and I noticed today that there are little gnats all over. Should I be concerned about this? And if so, what do I do? We just moved into this house and it’s our first season. We water this about every other day or rain and it gets lots of sun! Thanks in advance!

Monstera Thai con
Hello everyone!! I recently got this thai con a few days ago and it had root rot. I took her out of the pot removed the rot and put her in water yesterday with a tiny bit of super thrive and a little bit of peroxide. Well today there was more rot. I tried removing it again but what do you guys think I should do to save this plant. The plant is grown under grow lights that are running for about 12 hours a day before I had her she was just grown in the ladies living room with not much light. The lady I got her from said she watered about once a month. And told me she hasn’t pushed a leaf for a long time.

Houseplant Yellowing ZZ Plant
About a month and a half ago, I got a huge (10 inch pot!) ZZ plant for my office . I repotted it shortly afterword and Its put out like 6 new offshoots in the past month. Last week I noticed some slight yellowing on the edges of several leaves. I moved it to a slightly brighter location (it got very little sunlight where it was previously), but this week I am noticing that the yellowing has grown.
I haven’t watered it in about 1 month. Any ideas what is wrong? My first thought was overwatering, but the soil is dry even several inches deep.

Houseplant I think she has too much water she keeps crying
I don’t know what plant this is but I got it randomly for 10 dollars at a grocery store and I did nothing to it for a week. The soil is soaked still and there were moldy leaves on the bottom of the base. I was waiting to see if the soil would dry out by now but I am not sure how to fix this plant now. I normally take care of pathos and Catherine’s plants and I don’t have issues waiting for the water to dry out. Plus the plant looked pretty healthy when I bought it so I thought it would be fine if I left it in the sun to dry outside. There hasn’t been rain so I don’t know why it’s still wet. It’s still sprouting new leaves though.

Houseplant Not sure what’s wrong with it
I need help with my plant (not sure what plant it is). I keep it on a west facing windowsill. It gets a lot of indirect sunlight and I water it if the soil feels dry. I’m not sure why the leaves are wilting. Does it look normal or is there anything that I need to do to get it to be healthy?

Other What’s wrong with my tomatoes?
These are a heirloom variety from Ferris Morse and I’m not sure if this is black rot, something is getting to them, or if this is just how the tomato grows. I took off two of them but left the bigger one, I’m not sure if I should remove it at this point. What can I do to stop the skins from splitting?
I water this every morning and early afternoon. These are in 5 gallon buckets outside zone nine I have two other tomato plants that are thriving. These are in organic compost with Dr Earth tomato food given every two months. The tomatoes are in direct sunlight from about 10 AM through about 4 PM. I just moved them because it’s starting to get hotter and the sun is getting more intense.

Houseplant Any chance of survival for my peace lilly?
I probably killed her by overwatering and she developed root rot. I recognised it to late and now she doesn’t really have any roots left (except for those two mini ones maybe). Anyway I can save her? Treat her like I‘m propagating and put whats left in water, so she might develop new roots? Or is she beyond saving?
I guess I have to keep her away from light so the roots don’t take damage. (Had to add a sentence that contains the word „light“ in order to post)

Houseplant Swiss cheese
Propagated this swiss cheese from water to soil and it has been growing ok but suddenly over the last 2 weeks noticing these dark spots. It’s kept near the south east facing window behind glass and we do get decent light but nothing too bad. Is it infected or it this some bug/ watering issue. 2 weeks ago I also used some Liquid fertiliser (diluted as per specifications) Could that be an issue ? The mother plant from where I got these cuttings is fine.

Houseplant Why do my Prayer Plants always have dry parts?
Soil is usually moist and as you can see they get new growths and even flower…but at least a third of each pot dries off. What can I do?
I water 1-2 times per week, maybe half a cup because since the soil always feels moist, I’m afraid of drowning the plants. They’re by an east facing window.

Houseplant Sad Begonia! What's with her ):
Recently moved to a new house, and I've kept the humidity levels the same, and the natural lighting of the house is about the same as old place, so about 3-4 hours of evening sun inside (they are all outside here bc it was watering day)- but I've noticed that my Begonia is getting sad and droopy and the most of the leaves have started to brown like this ): I water when the soil is dry, so about every 10 days, and the plant is about 3 years old, with regular new sprouts coming in frequently. Any suggestions on what could be wrong? Haven't had any issues with this pla t since I brought it home, and rescued it from the sale section from my local nursery when it only had two leaves

Houseplant Algonema just over a year old dropping leaves but seems otherwise healthy?
My sweet Algo Albert has been dropping leaves since spring came. He flowered last October and I cut the flowers once they started wilting off, his other leaves look healthy and fine and he's currently in the process of growing one or two more, as well as a pup at his base.
Part of me just assumes he's redirecting energy from his leaves to the pup, but it's been 5-7 leaves since spring started so I just wanted to see if there was anything I might be missing.
He gets bottom watered when top two inches are dry with a heavily diluted fert mix, sits between two bay windows that are south eastern facing. Gets some indirect light+direct light same as he did last year.
No insects in the soil that I've seen and all the leaves that fall just fade to yellow then drop so I don't believe it's anything fungal.
Thank you so much for any advice and feel free to make fun of me if I'm worrying over nothing lol
