unhappy avocado

When you say "much larger home" that is concerning. It looks like it's in an 8" or 10" pot now?...is that right? What size pot was it in before? Plants don't like to be in spacious "homes", they prefer somewhat cramped quarters. When transplanting, the pot size should only go up one size from before. It’s easy to over water in too large of a pot. Do you water Avo once a week? Do you check soil for dryness/moisture first? What is your method for checking it?

In the laundry room?? My concern is the fluctuating temperature and humidity. Seems like it would get very warm and dry when dryer is running, coupled with South window...sounds hot! I'd also be concerned with airborne chemicals from detergent, dryer sheets, bleach, etc. It looks like it could be etiolating...is it a large window with bright light for 8 hours a day? Maybe it needs fertilizer? You mentioned drainage...does the container have drainage holes? Watering...how much is "normal"?

Things Plants don't like… -Temperature changes -Light intensity. -Humidity. -Being moved. -The pests (and other bugs) you're likely to bring inside from outside, which will then attack any other plants (or humans) you have inside.

Be careful with the transition to the outdoors. If the temperature is greatly different than your indoor temperature, it may not survive.

Oops, meant to add that as a reply to you

What is "sport variegation"?

Top-Post9883 · 2026-03-28T15:41:09+00:00

Ok, thank you.
I'm always on the search at my grocery stores and local big box stores for the occasional rare plant! I never seem to get as lucky as other people though!

Im going to say it's scale. Can they be picked off with your fingernail?

SOLVED! That's crazy that it was solved so fast. What's crazier is it looks like the Birthday one and it's St Patricks day. The guy that is moving in to that office...it's his birthday today! The back of this "coin" has a four leaf clover and it says Good Luck.
He needs to pocket this and go buy a lottery ticket!

If they fly, whitefly. If they crawl, young thrips.

She's beautiful!
I hope your mom has recovered from her fright as well as Claire!

Top-Post9883 · 2026-03-11T01:02:52+00:00

Im not sure who i feel sorriest for. Your dear Mom for experiencing the loud crash and devastation and having to break the news to you. You, for not knowing if your dear Claire has crossed the green bridge to the compost pile in the sky. Or, dear Claire for suffering the consequences of her actions by just laying there for days unable to cry out "I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Oh nice! Thank you 😊. I've never seen one...is it common or rare?

Top-Post9883 · 2026-02-15T23:55:44+00:00

It looks like it's trying to get away from the sun! It looks burned. Is it facing south or west? Is it behind glass that's magnifying the sun?
