Help needed - My plant's dying!
Comments (7)You're welcome. This is what the seed pods look like. When the petals fall off of the flowers, this is what is left. If left alone, they will ripen and split, like this: Flowering plants have one goal - to make seeds. If you trim them off before they ripen, the plant will "feel" like it needs to make more flowers (to make more seeds.) You can do it with scissors or pinch it off with a fingernail. Removing forming seed pods from any plant is called dead-heading. On pansies, there's a long stem attached to the seed pods. I usually try to trim those off as much as possible just because I don't like the look of them sticking up from the plant if left long after removing the pod at the end. You may want to leave a pod to ripen occasionally so you can get the seeds to grow more plants. The plants that grow from these seeds may look different from your original plants....See MoreHELP!

Comments (1)Overwatering and underwatering can often produce very similar symptoms. The signs of leaf spot on the nandina and the dropping of lower/interior foliage on the Indian hawthorn (a very drought tolerant plant) would lead me to guess these are being overwatered as opposed to under. But it is impossible to tell for certain without checking the soil and preferrably to the depth of the rootball. The soil should be loose and free-draining and be allowed to dry slightly between waterings. It should feel just barely moist - not wet - to the touch....See MoreHELP!!! My snake plant is dying
Comments (26)MRJoss, Mine is doing something similar. I brought it home from Calloways about a month ago and left it in a similar light setting to what they had (low) to acclamate to the house. It started as a small brown spot that expanded quickly. The same thing is starting to happen to multiple leaves. I haven't overwatered it or fertilized it. It is very ugly now and too many leaves are effected to remove them and have a substantial plant left. I'm going to try to return it. This bottom of this article refers to the problem: http://www.ourhouseplants.com/plants/sansevieria . All of the other plants purchased at the time are doing great - multiple succulents and cactus, a dracaenas, a pothos, and several ferns....See MoreHU-639395213
