Adopted sick plants

Hey there! Hoping for some help. I've never really owned plants, but my best friend is moving out of state and gave me 6 plants she didn't want to throw away. 4 of them are looking pretty rough. They are a ponytail and a monstera, and two mystery plants, one being some sort of cactus I think. They are all getting what I think is medium light? In my apartment, which has a north facing sliding glass door and windows, and they have all been being watered once a week. They also have been getting "miracle grow tropical house plant food" once a week. Any tips to try and save these lil guys?

Pothos with yellowing leaves

Every day, another leaf of our office pothos starts turning yellow until it falls about two days later. A couple of them got those brown-dry spots too.

I have two pothos at home that are thriving so I’m not sure what to do with poor thing. The plant has plenty of indirect light, sits on a bed of clay beads, and keeps on growing new leaves… I’m at a loss.

Thanks in advance for the help!

These are my tomatoes, they sprouted in late April and have not left the sprout stage in nearly 3 months. What do I do?

You can see a cluster of them to the bottom left and individuals spread around. We have them on raised beds near a maple tree in the yard because we were worried about the Kansas heat drying them faster then we could water. They get watered daily, they're not injured or weird looking, but they just aren't growing at all. What do we do?

Not pictured here is a Rosemary patch that's doing exactly the same, tiny little two leaf sprouts that refuse to grow further or die off.

Poisoned Pepper Plants?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/17665464

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some input on my pepper plants. Last year all my vegetable plants were explosive in growth and produce. This year they've been a bit stressed by the early heat we've had (southern Ontario) but otherwise doing well. Everything from cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, garlic, and onions are doing well.

My pepper plants, on the other hand, look terrible.

Initially I thought they were just extremely stressed from the heat, but I noticed a few of them (not pictured) are doing fine. What clicked in my head today is that the ones that are doing ok I grew from seed, and the rest are from garden centres (a semi-private one and a commercial one).

From my zero-level knowledge and subsequent Googling the answer is:

  • Too much heat
  • Too much water
  • Too little water
  • Exposure to herbicide

It's the last one that really raised my eyebrows, and seems to fit based on photos.

Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks in advance.
