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.

Fungus growing in the soil (self.plantclinic)
submitted 1 year ago by cd24 to c/plantclinic
 
 

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.
