I have a houseplant that needs to be cut down and don't know how to do it. And I don't know the name of the plant either.
This really depends on the type of plant. Could you provide more information about the plant?

I have a houseplant that has a white fuzzy looking substance at the base of the leaves where they join the stems. It is also on the underside of several leaves. The pot is in has a stickiness around the edge now. The leaves are also sticky. What is this and how do I get rid of it?
Mealybugs will commonly leave a white residue on plant’s leaves that resemble cotton. You will find this residue mostly on the stems and leaves. This residue is either the egg sacs of the mealybugs or the pests themselves. You may also find that the plant has a sticky residue on it. This is secreted by the mealybugs. Mealybugs look like small, flat oval white spots on plant leaves. They are also fuzzy or powdery looking. Scrape away any white residue and spots on plant leaves. Then, using a solution of 1 part alcohol to 1 part water with some dish soap mixed in, wash down the entire plant. Let the plant sit for a few days and repeat the process. Another mealybug home pest control is to apply neem oil to the plant.
I have a big broad leaf plant that stands about 9' tall. It sits in a very low light corner of my bedroom. As of late the leaves are turning brown on the edges, then the entire leaf turns brown and falls off. I checked the soil and it seems moist but not too wet. What could be the problem?

What is the white powder forming on the bases of my indoor house plant pots?
Generally, if you see a white powdery coating on your pots, it means that the plant was either overfertilized or the water it receives contains chalk. If the powdery substance is on the plants themselves, it usually indicates a problem with powdery mildew.
My husband is building an indoor 'plant room', basically a sunroom, and we want to put a fireplace in it. He is concerned about whether the temperature spikes (say, 40 to 80 degrees when we light up the fire) would damage the plants. Any thoughts?
It would really depend on what plants you were planning on putting in there. Most of the normal houseplants would do just fine, but if you were going to be having something more exotic, like orchids or some of the more fussy tropicals, it could cause problems.
