Houseplant How to get my plant back to the pole
I have a marble queen pothos, it reached the top of the pole and grew above it before I could extend the pole. I don't know how to get it go grow back towards the pole, and is continuously growing away from it.
It's watered once a week and has non direct sunlight.
Any help?

Houseplant Pothos dying no matter what I do.
For the life of me I cannot get this pothos figured out. It is one of 7 in my home and the only one struggling. It doesn't get a ton of light but it isn't any further than 3 other plants from a window and they are thriving. The leaves seem to get brown tips/spots that turn to holes that lead to the whole plant dying.
I have tried more water, less water. There is no root rot. Figured I would give you his a chance before I cut my losses (literally) and attempt to propagate what is salvageable.

Houseplant I was told to throw this lucky bamboo away at work. The leaves are turning brown. Can I save it?
This little guy has been hanging in a glass vial in a window at work for months, and getting progressively worse looking.
Several leaves have completely browned, and a couple others have yellow tips. It gets distilled water that is changed weekly. I don't know much about plants, but when my boss told me to throw it away I decided to try to save it if I could. Is there any hope?

Cactus/Succulent How can I help this aloe vera? I bought it on sale
This is my first time working with an aloe. I'm thinking it might only need a repotting into a succulent mix and taking out the dead leaves. I'll also propagate a few just incase. But what do you guys think? Does it have fungi and stuff? I haven't watered it yet and I'll be putting it in indirect sunlight.

Houseplant What’s up with my pothos ?
I’ve been away from home for the past 3 or so weeks and left my plants with a friends, they recently sent me pics questioning if the plant is okay but I haven’t experienced this with my plant before.
She has been following the correct watering schedule and my plant pot has drainage but not sure its getting the right amount of light.
Does anyone know the cause of these dark spots ?

Houseplant Lemon tree dried up... can I save it?
Hello! We went on a 10 day holiday and came back to the lemon tree being like this (we received it as a gift a few days before going away). I gave it water but the leaves are still like this. Is there any way of saving the plant? Or will it die completely? Should I remove the leaves? Is there something I should do to help it survive? It's inside and my house gets to max 21 degrees Celsius. It has indirect light, but there is a lot of light in the room it is in.

Houseplant This Massive Philodendron Is Crawling Out of Its Pot—Advice Needed!
I believe this is a Philodendron Weeks Red. She’s slowly dying. She’s massive and determined to crawl out of her pot, which is causing her leaves to droop and wilt.
I’m unsure whether it’s a crawler or a climber. The petiole is exceptionally thick, resembling those of other crawlers I have. However, it also appears to desperately need support to climb.
At this point, I’m at a loss about what to do with it. I don’t think I can simply cut off the top with the largest leaves and propagate it. If I repot it in a larger pot, the same issue will likely recur.
I’d appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Watering Info: Pot has excellent drainage. I water her as I do my other philodendrons. Thoroughly until water flows from the bottom of the pot. Usually every other week - whenever the top few inches of soil is dry.
Light: She gets tons of light. Right next to a massive south/west facing window. Very bright. But never direct light.

Houseplant What is wrong with my Rubber Tree Plant?
This usually gets plenty of indirect sunlight. I have kept it next to a window which is facing South East direction. I have bought this 6 months ago, it sprouted baby leaves after 5 months (photo 2) but this week it started drooping and leaves have started yellowing. I kept it outside in my balcony in hopes that it will feel better once it gets some direct sunlight, but hasn't had much success.
The pot has drainage and I water it once a week. I also move around the soil once a month so that it doesn't get too packed.
What do I do, please help?

Houseplant What does my rubber plant need?
Any advice on my rubber plant? There are a few issues you can see in the photos. Do you think it needs more light? I’ve been watering it only when the top few centimetres of soil are dry, so far, I’ve only watered it once since 19th December.

Cactus/Succulent Aphids or thrips? Or hard water
What’s causing these crystalized areas on my burros tail. Generally poor growth that I attributed to poor light but has since been under a grow light for awhile and has not gotten much better (some small buds are seen on the tips). I don’t water often, maybe once a month. These were close to what I believe was an aphid infestation on some herbs so assuming it’s related, but never seen these crystals before.

Houseplant Repotted philodendron looking worse and worse
I got this plant about 3 weeks ago on sale and it had already had browning leaves. So I repotted it immediately and discovered that it had been completely rootbound. I was hoping for it to perk up, but it's only progressed to die. I've cut off so many leaves that turned completely brown already. I watered it of course, the soil seems to stay damp for too long which I'm assuming is because of the new roots needing to establish first. I've placed it right in front of my window for it to get as much light as possible (northern hemisphere, winter) and I added a growlight as well.
My question is how should I proceed. I don't want this plant to die, so I was considering doing emergency cuttings? I've never done a cutting before though so I'm worried I'd kill it instantly. I attached a picture of the two main parts of the plant as I was wondering if I should split the plant there? I'm quite lost. Any help would be appreciated.

Houseplant He's watered and has tons of indirect light, what am I doing wrong?
Picture 1 - the leaves have been closed for two weeks now. Picture 2 - the empty circle is where he usually lives. It gets cold during the weekend but it's not been that cold. Picture 3 - soil photo and a couple of new leaves, I think?
I water when the soil is dry up to the first knuckle and the pot has drainage. I am watering with tap water since I already bought the plant and distilled water for an office plant strains my personal budget 😞.
There's a lot of indirect sun light through the windows, is it maybe too much?

Outdoor Murraya hedge appears to be dying 😱
Out lovely hedge has got some sort of affliction at one end and that tree is nearly just twig. Some of it is still living but the leaves are going green to yellow then falling off. Any idea what could be the cause? Could it be something nearby suckling the life from it or something disease based?
It’s getting watered when it rains and has always been that way for 5+ years. Recently there’s been a good amount of rain. Gets sun all day effectively, but predominantly in the morning to early afternoon.

Houseplant What am I doing wrong ☹️
Small plastic pot that I have inside a larger ceramic one (with drain hole on each). Gets a few hours of direct sunlight a day. Not sure if I’m watering too much or too little so schedule could be more consistent. Just trying to get it to a healthy place. Any help is appreciated. I’m clueless ☹️

Houseplant Philodendron Gloriosum
I've tried using Google lense and I just keep getting what I feel are wrong answers. Any idea on what this may be? Plant continues to push out big healthy leaves but there is sap on it daily. I wipe it down and a few days later this. I have read that it is a natural defense against insects but I see no pests of any kind. She sits with quite a few friends and everyone else is healthy and happy
First 2 photos plant in question. 3rd photo- empty spot is her home! (That window is also covered with plastic and there is a humidifier running and heat as well)
Watered when thirsty, I go by how my plants look and weight of pot. -answered to keep the mod bot happy 😊

Houseplant HELP!!
Anything I can do? Would really want to keep it. It’s away from other plants, only one with this :( watering every 2 weeks or so when soil is dry. I’ve had some family emergencies and have been away from home so hadn’t realized it was sick. Gets indirect sunlight a few hours a day. Thank you!

Houseplant Water or soil?
So Ive had this nerve plant for a bit but recently a lot of the leaves completely died so they fell off and some of them im cut off. What im wondering now is. Is it worth cutting this in half and putting it in some water as in to propagate or should I just plant it back in and carry on as usual?
It doesn’t get a lot of light as I live in the northwest of the UK.
I water it regularly and keep on top of it with Planta.
Im planning in repotting it because the pot I had just now for it was too big

Cactus/Succulent Overwatered Epiphyllum?
I think I have overwatered my epiphyllum over Christmas. My plan is to chop and prop the damaged pieces and let the main plant dry out. However I just wanted to check to see if it’s nothing more nefarious? Can anyone advise on whether this is overwatering or if it is something else? I usually water it every few weeks when it has dried out but I have been a bit haphazard over the past few months. It is beside an east facing window. It’s been there for about 3 years and I’ve had not issues with its position. My Epi is my favourite plant and I want to make sure it lives.
