My aloe plant in my room is doing really well, had pups etc. looks wonderful But i have come to the realization that the aloe plant in my room is flourishing but my moms that she keeps in the kitchen isn’t. It’s like got brown dried out stringy stuff connected to it and it’s also bent weird. The leaves of it are also not firm and are also slim. Could it be lightning? Potting? Water? I have also noticed that it is very loose in the pot, like i can pick it up and move it and it can just roll around (I bottom water my aloe plant and she poors water on top of the soil if that helps and they are massawanas i believe) I want to help my moms plant

This lily was doing well until recently. Idk what’s wrong with it. I didn’t see any bugs or anything. What could be the problem?

This is Hercules, my BOP and it has a new leaf and it’s uncurling. I think it will tear the leaf. Do you help it or just leave it alone? I gave this guy a shower last night and the leaf starts to uncurl. I didn’t realize until I saw it tonight 😭

Any advice for gnat infestation? I have repotted my plants twice now. Tried using hydrogen peroxide water, tried putting sand on top of soil, tried dish soap with sugar and water… I have yellow sticky traps to catch them… my plants are dying and I really want to know how I can save them :( thank you!

(I’ll add pic later) How do you save a dying baby juniper (I think)? It’s almost all brown, but still has some green spots. I transferred it from water to a pot about a week ago because it was dying, and added a fertilizer stick under the dirt. It seems to be doing better now, but still not great. Help please!

Anyone else have issues with algae growing in your pots? They do not get watered until they are completely dry and they live in a chunky soil mix. They are placed in a window, which I know light causes algae but is there any way to avoid this? Will it affect my plants at all?

Please help! I bought this fairy castle cactus back in May ‘24 (then and now pics 1 and 2). This week, I noticed these scabs/scales mostly on the “back” of plant. A couple of its limbs have started to fall off. There doesn’t seem to be root rot, and I didn’t notice any pests moving around when I removed the soil. Note: I keep this plant outside on a shelf on my north-facing balcony. I’ve lightly watered it (NOT bottom-watered) only when the soil is completely dry maybe 3 times since May.

Have a leafy Camilla that is otherwise in great health, but today has tons of teeny tiny black bugs seemingly out of nowhere. I’ve had it about 6 months, this is the first time I’ve seen them! What the heck are they and how do I get rid of them without killing the plant?

My moms monstera has a couple leaves that have these little spots and we think they’re just sun freckles but we’re not sure- they’re completely flat and there’s no eggs or anything

Hello all! I recently bought this Thai Constellation from a local plant nursery though she does not seem to be doing so well. She has these brown spots on 3 of her leaves. I just moved her down from my room thinking it was a problem with the lighting. I also reported her because she was root bound. No root rot could be seen. Please let me know of anything I can do to save her!!! TIA

Just bought this baby a few weeks ago, a type of snake plant I hate if anyone know a the name it would be awesome to know. But it started getting these beige squiggly lines like possibly a worm? Not sure but I am thinking of just hacking it up because the leaves on the bottom are nice. Anyone possibly know what this is? Sun stress maybe? Or is it a pest? Before and after photos below

Hello, I need help. I have a 8ft fiddle leaf fig. It was doing so well and out of the blue i started noticing mealybugs. I have treated it with everything i can think of, i have even checked the soil. There are no bugs in the soil, just on the leaves, now all my leaves are falling off and turning brown. How can I save it? I have used captain jack’s insecticidal spray, i’ve used neem oil with fungicides & insecticide, copper spray, rubbing alcohol, peppermint oil / tea tree oil castile soap mix, nothing seems to work. can anyone give me a good recommendation? I would hate to throw the plant out because i put so much work into it.

I noticed this on my dragon scale this morning. I didn’t see it there yesterday. There is a new leaf coming up. Could that be why it’s going yellow?

Any idea why the leaf on my burgundy rubber tree is turning orange? It’s a lower leaf. Otherwise seems healthy.

Please help me! I just spent the last two hours washing tons of pests off of all of my plants. So far I have identified three different kinds, aphids, spider mites and lots of thrips!😬 I have no idea where they are coming from or how to properly get rid of them but I sprayed all my plants with a mix of rubbing alcohol, castile soap and water. I hope that was a good idea.😮‍💨 Please someone help me! The pests are attacking at full force and I need to know if I’m doing the right thing. Im going into 7th grade soon and I really don’t want to have to deal with pests on top of homework!😅 Thanks 🙏 (Photo for attention. Just got a tai con monsera! So excited!🪴😊)

My rubber tree plant is growing mushrooms? Not sure maybe I overwatered? I’m pretty sure I need to carefully remove?
