Plant Clinic - diagnosing sick plants 🌱
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.
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/17665464 > 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. > > * https://ibb.co/B65gjbN > * https://ibb.co/bvDd9dG > * https://ibb.co/g93Z4sT > * https://ibb.co/p3Tw8gM > * https://ibb.co/K2YN2vD > * https://ibb.co/x1mcLsr > * https://ibb.co/6Dbctpm > > Initially I thought they were just extremely stressed from the heat, but I noticed a few of them (not pictured) are doing fine.

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!

Update: I figured it out! This is Fiddle Leaf Fig Edema since I did not see any spider mites up close. https://www.mrhouseplant.com/blog/fiddle-leaf-fig-edema/
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!
 
I have had this cast iron plant for many many years in the exact same spot, no fertilizer, and it has done ok but not a lot of growth. I decided to take it out, change some of the soil, and trim the roots a little. I returned it to the same spot. But now, the leaves are turning yellow and it has some brown tips. The pot doesn't have drainage and my housemate watered it again when it probably didn't need it. Are these all symptoms of overwatering or could it be transplant shock?
There are some yellowing spots on my nasturtium leaves, and I haven’t been able to figure out what they need yet! Any idea what they need? [image here](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/489288aa-1e6f-4bc3-8508-006f68582a8f.jpeg?format=jpg) They’re in full sun for half the day and indirect sun the remainder of the day.
Basically the short story is my plant was stolen in March. Today I found my plant in front of the dumpster. Of course my thieving neighbors are too lazy to throw away items the correct way. Anyway, the flowerpot it came with was no where to be found, the plant was on its side in a pile of garbage. The plant is way dried out, it was green when I had it and now it’s a steady light brown color. I bought a new flowerpot today and got some miracle grow and watered it. Is it a lost cause? I am not a plant expert, I’m new to plants and in fact this is the first plant I’ve ever bought. I was wanting it to grow big like a Christmas tree.
I have some plants growing outside and when I was planting a new one, I noticed the soil had a fair amount of white puffy fungus growing beneath the top soil. Do you all have any recommendations for fungicides that are safe for nasturtium and pothos plants?
My fiddle leaf grows quickly. There are often new leaves and it has more than doubled in size so I'm definitely not killing it. But I've had this issue since I got the plant. About 2/3 of new leaves are red and spotty. They continue growing and the spots eventually fade. Too much water? Not enough? Time to repot?
I have had this plant for several years. Within the past couple months I noticed a few leaves yellowing, but lately it has accelerated greatly to where about half have fallen. I water regularly and keep the soil moist. The pot is large and does have drainage holes. I stopped watering about 2 weeks ago to let the soil dry out but that hasnt seemed to help. This year I have noticed earthworms and centipedes in the soil if I dig around.
Just trying to create a similar space to the subreddit, as I have always found it useful and a good place to help people. This community is still a work in progress. If you want to join in helping build this community as a moderator, please send me a DM!
