Help!! I'm at all loss. Anyone know what type of mite or pest this is? I thought spider mites but there was no webbing and straight rubbing alcohol did not touch them. They just walked right through it. Captain Jacks dead bug also did not work. This was taken 10 mins after dousing the plant in Captain Jack's. It's a video I had to screenshot since I can't post videos here

My Jade plant, Jessica, has been having a tough time though she still appears to be growing okay. Looks like she keeps getting chomped, presumably by the squirrels or opossums I know live in my apartment complex. Any tips for preventing her from being a snack? She’s also had bugs — thrips? Small and black—for quite awhile despite my using Captn Jacks Dead Bug on her twice. I’ve also used toothpicks to scrape/pick them off once a week or so when they get bad. Any tips on complete removal of bugs? And finally, many of her leaves are black and speckled. No, those aren’t the bugs themselves, the actual leaves are getting some lumps and spots. Mostly on the underside of the leaves but some on top side too. Not sure if this is because of the bugs though or because of the pesticide? Any ideas? Thanks a ton!

Can anyone help diagnose the problem with my cherry tomato plant? Water every 2 days, in sunlight for like 10 hours a day!

My monstera is so flimsy and just sad looking. It’s been sad looking since the day I bought it and I brought it home, inspected and repotted a few weeks ago with fresh, better soil and she hasn’t made any progress. It has a lot of mechanical damaged leaves and the bottom leaves have slowly been yellowing. I’ve lost a few smaller leaves lately at the bottom. What should I do with it?

Can someone tell me what’s wrong with my weeping fig plant? She’s not thriving at all. I had to repot her today 8/4 cuz I noticed white mold? in the soil. She has cactus fast drain soil from miraclegro. I water her consistently but wait until the soil dries out before I water her again. She’s next to big windows with lots of sunlight. How do I fix her?

Help with cat palm! My cat palm has been unproblematic until recently where I’m seeing some leaf turn yellow and some with some black spots on them. It also looks like it’s leaning. I don’t overwater it and I make sure it’s drained. I wonder if it’s cause it’s sitting under a vent. I do see some new growths though! Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello, my pothos has a yellow leaf, unsure why this is happening. I try really hard not to overwater it, I wait until the soil is very dry and make sure the water is drained. I still have it in the nursery pot. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!

I bought this on clearance at Walmart a few days ago and just checked out the roots and the knots (idk what they are called) are mushy and just not good. I can see some black running up some of the stems (2nd pic). Is this able to be saved?

What is wrong with this coffee plant? I follow Plantas directions and I have it right near a humidifier and the leaves are constantly drying out like this. I just snipped off four! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Hello! I have a calathea Stella that I have placed in a window that gets indirect sunlight all day and then maybe an hour of direct sunlight. It had a lot of new leaves but they are starting to dry out and I can’t tell if I just need to water it more frequently or if it’s not humid enough (or something else entirely). Some of the leaves were yellowing which I though meant I was overwatering, so I’m just a little confused what’s going on. I’m also only watering with filtered water because I know these plants can be a bit finicky! Thanks!

My plant is dying and I don't know how. It has no pests and I've been watering it once every week. My mom cut off a piece hoping it'll grow back. I've had this plabt for years, what should I do?

Found a little mushroom this morning in my philodendron. Should I be concerned?

most of my indoor plants develop this green-ish white mold after a week or so after watering. I have decreased my watering to try and solve the problem but they still get mold on the surface of their dirt. I live in Colorado and my indoor plants are in a variety of ceramic and terracotta pot.
