Hello! So my monstera albo borsigiana has one been doing great for the last month but now I see this!! (See pic below) I have researched and read that it could be humidity, I have a humidifier and have keep it above 58! I have grow lights on her and It’s currently summer here in WA state so it’s not cold. Not next to any heaters or AC, under grow lights. It’s planted in coco chips because it was angry for awhile and as soon as I put her in straight coco chips she did way better! Roots have grown a ton, I just checked them and no root rot or anything out of the ordinary and I can see her roots through the cup and they all look great! My other girl (monstera albo borsigiana) is doing the same thing but also has some light brown around it! The second is under the exact same conditions as the first! Also checked her roots (bottom pics) and they look great too! Can somebody please tell me what I’m doing wrong? Also this has taken a lot of time (at least a month) to get to this point. It was not fast. Any advice would be so helpful! Lots more roots than seen in the photos fyi.

Does anyone know why my spider plant might be struggling to produce babies? It has had this offshoot for about 6-8 weeks but has yet to produce anything appreciable. Thank you in advance!

Hi friends, I posted on the overall plant thread but thought I might get more help here. I’m really worried about this guy Dink. I got him when he was nearly dead and only had one leaf. Since I got him he perked up so much and has sprouted 4 new leaves and has been doing SO well. Until about 4ish days ago now, he started drooping again. I realized I had overwatered him and he had been sitting in water for a couple days. I took him out of his big pot (pictures are his tiny pot) and put him on a paper towel to dry in a warm environment. But he hasn’t perked up in the slightest and I’m really worried about him 😞 what do I do and how do I save him? I want my perky Dink back 😭

What can you tell me about this critter; is it harmful… beneficial? I found four in just one small shovel full of dirt. If they are harmful, what would you suggest I do? TIA. 😊💚🪴

anyone know what these markings might be? they can’t be wiped off. can’t tell if it’s cosmetic damage or pest related. I thought it might be pest poop?? or maybe sunburn? (I moved the grow light closer in the pic for better viewing but it’s normally 6in away) the two leaves that are affected don’t touch whatsoever. it gets a regular watering once the soil is mostly dry. none of the other leaves have brown spots/tips, just these two and a couple older ones from cosmetic damage.

Every day she’s loosing leaves. Is it possible to save her? Line sensitivity so I allowed the roots to dry out & repotted with tropical soil. She’s even fertilized. Does she have a chance? It’s been 2 weeks & it’s gotten worse.

My plumeria tree has been looking a little wilty for the past couple days- it did rain a few days in a row so I’m wondering if it just got over-watered? It’s still developing new leaves but recently one of its newer leaves turned yellow. The pot does have a drainage hole at the bottom- I’ve been avoiding watering it since it rained as the soil has still felt a little moist. Not sure if I should just wait it out- I don’t want it to get any worse. Any tips?

So many tiny ants in my garden bed! Climbing and I think eating my veg plant leaves. Should I be worried? Will this lead to a big a problem? If so, how do I handle this? :(

Any ideas what could be causing leaf drop? One leaf before this turned brown and died but I figured it was just normal aging. The left leaf grew its own roots a while ago but has now died and the right just popped off of the stem. I bought the plant when it had baby leaves growing but now they have stopped. Someone accidentally watered it with tap water when I first got it a few months ago and these same leaves made brown spots shortly after but they didn’t change until now. The soil is still damp from my last watering about three weeks ago.

Just for clarification, this is a mosquito and not a fungus gnat??? Every time I turn around, I find one of these little buggers… and I think they are biting us! I found four of these critters on our white sheets last night… Icky icky! If they are teeny, weenie mosquitoes, is something like Zevo my best bet? TIA. 😊💚🪴

Does anyone know what’s going on with my BOP. It’s been thriving for 4 years and has been repotted last year. Two more babies are coming in and this one has been struggling to unravel for a few months! Now that it is trying, it has literally turned brown on the edge overnight. The other leaf started dropping before it got going and it’s a weird beige-y green color and crinkly. Help!

Recently bought this plant from a nursery, I should have taken a closer look before buying. I am guessing it is some type of flower mite. Any guess on the exact species?
