##"What's wrong with my plant?"
You're in the right place to get the problem diagnosed as well as advice for treatment!

--------------------------
#SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
--------------------------

####1. *Always* be respectful of others. 
Posts and comments that are rude to others are subject to immediate removal and the offending user will be banned without warning. It should go without saying but...don't be a dick!

####2. Your post MUST be soliciting a diagnosis for a sick plant or a plant in obviously abnormal condition. **Posts not soliciting diagnosis for a sick or abnormal plants will be removed.**
If you aren't asking something to the effect of, "what's wrong with my plant?" or "why does my plant look weird?" then your post doesn't belong here. Requests for healthy plant care & prevention advice belong in one of the related subreddits listed on the sidebar, such as **/r/gardening**. All identification requests belong in other subreddits (**/r/whatsthisplant** for plants, **/r/whatsthisbug** for insects, and **/r/mycology** for mushrooms/fungi). **No advertising allowed.**

####3. Your post MUST have one or more images showing the condition of your sick plant. **Posts without images or with images not containing your sick plant will be removed.**
It's best to include photos of the entire plant as well as close-up photos of problem areas. X-posts from other subreddits are allowed so long as the linked posts have images.

####4. Share as much information about your sick plant as possible.
Posts with more info are more likely to receive a diagnosis and care advice. Examples of helpful information to include in addition to signs & symptoms of illness:

> * The species or common name of your plant. If you don't know what your plant is, **/r/whatsthisplant** can help you identify it.
* How long you have had the plant and how long it has been sick.
* Any insects that appear to be colonizing your plant. If you don't know what the bug is, **/r/whatsthisbug** can help you identify it.
* If your plant has been recently re-potted, transplanted, fertilized, or moved to a new location.
* What kind of soil the plant is in, especially if it is in a pot.
* How often you are watering your plant and how you are watering it (top/bottom/drench method, with tap water, with fertilizer, etc).
* Light exposure to your plant (full, partial, shade, indoors, artificial lighting, etc).
* If your plant is in a pot: indicate the size and type of pot, if the pot has drainage holes or not, and when your plant was last re-potted.
* If your plant is outside: indicate both your location and [**plant hardiness zone**](https://www.reddit.com/r/plantclinic/wiki/index#plant_hardiness_zone). Also indicate if there have been any notable weather events (sudden increase or drop in temperature, frost, hail, drought, heavy wind, etc) or application of pesticides on or near the plant.
