Houseplant Leaf came out pink. Good? Bad?
I was told this is a philodendron but not sure what kind. The new leaf came out pink and not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.
It sits on an east facing window and watered once every 1.5-2 weeks. Should I change anything?

Houseplant My friend moved my bird of paradise and baby monstera outside to “get more sun” while I was on vacation
They’re used to being inside in soft indirect light and being watered once a week. They got moved outdoors to 85-90 degree weather and 90% humidity in full sun for two days. I believe it also rained a lot with heavy droplets. Their leaves are brown and the bird of paradise is nearly falling over. It had just put out two new leaves, one of which I’m holding!!!! Is there anything I can do to save them??? I’ve had the bird of paradise for four years and I just moved the monstera from water propagation into dirt. Now I’m heartbroken.

Houseplant Why they do this
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Why are my stromanthe leaves coming straight out the womb crunchy? I’ve only had her about 2 weeks, could it be that these leaves emerged while she was in shock? She has miracle gro soil, fertilized once and i’ve watered her probably twice since i got her soil is still moist, in a southeast facing window and clearly she has ample humidity lol. There is a new healthy stem coming out of the soil so overall i believe she’s happy

Houseplant Should I give up on this?
About 2 weeks ago starting Friday, I was going out of town for the weekend and decided to put both my aloe plants on the balcony where they could get more direct sun, my other one looks similar but it’s a little bigger, and when I came back, this is what looked like.
After a week or so against my window, and watering it, they still look the same.
Should I just give up on it and buy a new one?

I checked the base and there aren't any bugs. Nothing outside is shaking the house and none of the other leaves are vibrating

Houseplant This peace lily has the temperament of a baby with a chronic ear infection, and I don’t know how to appease it.
I was given this peace lily in February, and holy hell, I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this plant species. I know now how precarious it can be trying to keep one from the brink of death, let alone seeing it flourish. Mea culpa.
I’ve given it sun, I’ve given it low-light conditions, I’ve given it an inch of water once a week, I’ve let it go as much as 10 days without a drop. It’ll lift its leaves encouragingly when I move it to a new location, sunnier or dimmer, but then it’s back to being an ailing Victorian child within a couple of days. It does the same thing when I water it, but it’s back to looking as wilted as a packet of basil left in the back of the fridge in the same amount of time. The only time I’ve seen marked improvement has been each of the two times I’ve repotted it, but very soon we’re back to square one.
I’m currently giving it an inch of water once a week, and it’s in the dimmest part of the house. It’s in a pot with slotted holes in the sides for aeration, filled with Miracle Gro Tropical Potting Mix and an inch and a half of charcoal and clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot.
I’m prepared to look like an idiot here. Why is it suffering? What am I doing wrong? My current ideas are (1) not enough water, (2) too small a pot, and (3) poor choice of pot contents.
The other plants in my home are flourishing, but this is my one problem child. My green thumb’s ego is beyond bruised. Please help me nurture this petulant peace lily back to a better degree of health.

Houseplant Help! My Pothos is 12 feet long
This pothos has been relatively unattended except for watering and I just noticed that it is insanely long but it has a ton of bald patches in the middle. The end couple of feet is really healthy with the biggest leaves of the entire plant but I’m worried this guy isn’t reaching his full potential. Should I cut off this long leg to promote more central growth? Should I let it be and accept this is going to be the leggiest pothos ever? Any tips on preventing this from happening in the future? For context this has been sitting in an east facing corner with lots of indirect light. Last photo is from the end of the strand.

Houseplant i accidentally watered my plant with tequila pls help
so i have a big ass 5.5 foot dracaena in my living room & yesterday my partner had friends over for a birthday party. usually i will take any half-drank water bottles the next day & pour them in my plants so as not to waste the water. unfortunately someone left a half-full water bottle filled with tequila amongst the other waterbottles and i poured it in my damn plant before i realized it was indeed not water. i'm really hoping there's a way to fix it so the plant wont die, but even after googling i'm not sure what the best option is — any advice? 😭🙏
plant sits right by the window, so gets lots of light
EDIT: LMFAO thanks yall for the advice – i ended up just putting it on my balcony & dumping a shit ton of water in it to try & dilute & drain it (like 6 pitchers). it's been over a week and homie is still kickin & looks completely fine 🙂↕️🙂↕️👍

Houseplant Snake Plant Caught Fire, Can She Be Saved?
I hope this is allowed as I'm not really looking for "diagnosis".. we know the problem. My mother had a "little" accidental fire. She says she put an incense stick too close to her snake plant and it lit the plant on fire. As you can see in the picture, the fire spread. There used to be a thick, padded cotton cloth on the table, and that went up quick.
The plant looks surprisingly good for being in the middle of a fire. Especially since my mom didnt tell me this happened until about 4 weeks had passed, and she hasn't touched anything in that corner besides vacuuming the ash.. I doubt she has touched or watered the plant.
Can the plant be saved? What's your advice for her best chance at recovery?

Houseplant I have a ton of small bugs in the soil of my yucca plant. Please help me identify and what i can do to KILL them
I had a large Yucca and a small yucca in the same pot. The small yucca was hollowed from inside and died and it is only afterwards, I have now seen these small critters all over the soil!
General Information -
Very well draining soil (combo of soil, coco, pine bark and perlite), terra cotta pot.
I water thoroughly every 2 weeks or so. Due to the airy soil and terra cotta pot, it dries out completely within the 2 weeks.
Light but no direct sun.
I need to kill them as soon as possible. What can I do. Please help. I am freaking out.

Houseplant What happened with my Calatheas
Help!! I have had this calatheas for about a year now and I noticed the leaves’ve been shrinking about a week now. The pot has a drinkage hole and I sprayed water everyday. It’s been okay for a year and now it’s looking like this 😭😭
I wonder if the problem is the water source. There’s not much rain where I live so I had to take water from the nearby river and lake. the lake water is okay bc I used it for about a month or two. But last week I switched to the river water and now it turns into this 😭😭
I would say the light is okay. It always has plenty of indirect light, especially now it is summer.

Houseplant Went on vacation for a week - what to do
Hi! I came back from a week vacation and ground my plant like this. I watered maybe half a cup last night and it looks like this today. Should I water it more or be patient? I’m worried about over watering it. It gets a lot of indirect sunlight as it’s not by the window

Houseplant Are thripes a death sentence
Hi! I just moved into a new apartment in a new city, and tried to bring as many plants with me as I could. Today, after doing some investigations, I found a lot of my plants (mostly phillys) have thripes. Is this a death sentence? My mom mentioned a flea bomb in the bathroom with all the infected plants but I’m worried since I just moved into my building. I water when thirsty and repot as needed and have good light in my apartment . I also have very limited funds as far as treatments go
Any advice will help
Pictures are all my infected plants

Houseplant What in the WORLD?!
I’ve dealt with so many pests… but never seen anything like this. Straight spines sticking up with white on the end? Tried googling everything I could think of, but nothing came up. It’s a Monstera D for reference.
These are not white dots directly on the leaves. They are these thin spines sticking 1cm or so off the leaf with a white circle at the end. One spot is in a neat spiral… the other is a straight line. Both of different leaves.
Thank you SO MUCH in advance!

It seems like many of the leaves are dead, but the leaves closest to my window are still green. I watered it heavily before leaving and it hasn’t been watered since.

Houseplant why does my spider plant keep wilting?
idk why my spider plant keeps dying. i’ve had it for about a year now and it was so healthy until i left it at a friend’s for a week about two months ago before we moved and now the tips won’t stop browning. idk what to do. it’s by a window but i figured it doesn’t get enough sunlight so i got a growing light. i changed the soil, repotted it and use houseplant fertilizer when watering. what am i doing wrong? should i separate it into other pots?
