    So my Aloe seems to be doing okay except that he’s lost a few branches over the past 6 months. I suspect overwatering. 

    The pothos comes and goes but right now it’s in a bit of a wrinkly period – again I think she’s going okay. 

    It’s the money tree and the red flower one that are really struggling. The money tree keeps losing leaves right and left and the red flower leaves are scorched beyond recognition. What am I missing? 

    I think the money tree needs more sunlight and I might be overwatering the red flower one but need advice!

    Tell us about how you care for them? How often do you water and how much. How much light do they get or where are they standing in relation to the windows. Are the windows obstructed from trees or houses and stuff.

    1. Your aloe looks underwatered, when it crinkles around itself (shrivels), it means underwatered. An aloe leaf should look like that one in the middle coming up. Touch the middle one, it feels Thick and somewhat solid (just not goopy). I suspect you’ve might’ve recently changed some of your watering habits for the better to have that coming up, unless it hasn’t grown for months. I water mine every two weeks (or until I stick a skewer and it’s bone dry)

    4. Your peace Lilly looks really sad. He lovesss sun and water. I would prop him up directly into the window where he can get as much sunlight as you have available (6++hours). Peace Lillies I find to be very unique because you can tell when they need a watering due to their leaves. He’s wilted, meaning he wants water (but seems also sun). I prefer to bottom water with putting him in a bucket and leaving him for 30mins, taking him out, shake out rest of water, and he’s good. You should physically see the leaves perk up and stiffen during watering.

    I can’t really speak to the others, but your pothos just looks a little thirsty to me. It’s not dying though. Once you water it, it should perk back up. Make sure you are watering properly and all your pots have drainage holes. And don’t give up! I killed so many plants before I was able to keep one alive

    Way more light, drainage and water when they’re thirsty. That aloe is very thirsty but make sure it has drainage before watering.

    Some don’t gave drainage and that often leads to overwatering
