Please help! This is like the fifth rosemary plant I have gotten and killed:( I live in Nevada I see them growing wild everywhere and thriving. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Too much love or not enough? 🥲 New plant mom, so far I’ve succeeded keeping succulents alive which is a win to begin with. Decided to try taking on this Black & Bloom Salvia Sage and within a few weeks only one stalk is hanging on. Is this transplant shock? Or something worse? It’s in well draining soil - watered about every 2 days with this AZ heat, gets partial direct light as it was burning before. Accidentally put succulent fertilizer in the bottom but attempted to correct it by adding a 10/10/10 on top. Heeeeeelp please 🙏🏽 #NewPlantMom

My rosemary is leaning Hi!! I’ve had my rosemary for a while, my grandma gave her to me, however it’s grown a LOT and it’s leaning. I’m afraid it will snap the roots or something, it looks like it’s gonna run away. What’s the best option to hold it in place? Or do I let her lean? Sorry if this is a stupid question lol #Rosemary #Leaning

Is there a way to make this rosemary rise up? I got this rosemary for a week and I know the pot is having a small mouth but the body is actually very long, but I did check on the roots, they look white and strong, long as well. I made a mistake of watering it too frequently but I had stopped it, which was 2 days ago. Since the weather at my place was gloomy and still pretty cold, I have the rosemary inside (24°C) and an indoor growing light installed 2 days ago. Please let me know if I can do anything- I also checked the soil, it is very drainage. Thanks #rosemary #droopy #wilted

Is this some sort of root rot or just natural browning #outdoorgrowing #floweringplants #newplantmom #rootrot Ok so this is my blood sage (saliva coccina) and I was wondering if theres something wrong with it because theres some browning and its a lot smaller than when I first got it. Im wondering if the soil isn't well draining enough because I just got some cheap potting soil at home depot. Should I get some sand/perlite and add it to the soil or should I just leave it be and see what happens as to not shock it?
