I took down Marge today for a misting and to my surprise quite a few small flies fled the pot. This is the first time this has happened. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I’m wondering what’s going on with my parlour palm. It continuously gets browning leaves. It lives on a window sill (pictured) it gets part sun/part shade. This particular window is located under an overhanging roof, so it is more shaded but when the sun comes around in the afternoon it gets some direct sun. Does it need brighter light to correct this problem? I always check the soil before watering and don’t water unless it’s dry. I don’t see any sign of pests.

I’ve just moved and for some reason all my plants have panicked! A bunch of their leaves are going yellow. I don’t think it’s an overwatering issue because their roots seem ok and they’ve all been repotted at the start of the summer. Any help would be much appreciated! Of note: it’s happening to my monsteras and pathos. They all used to be in a very dark north facing room and are now in a lovely south-west room.

Recently got this Rattlesnake plant & it was doing really well for a while, but the leaves have started turning yellow & brown, some of them died completely. I know they’re sensitive to lime in water & I’ve started using distilled water. I water according to Planta’s instructions & schedule. It has a small humidifier that runs ~4-8 hrs a day. I did fertilize it for the first time & i’m wondering if that could be the problem? Please help!!

Hello! I am having a problem with little gnat’s inhabiting my chinese money plant, snake plant, and monstera. I have tried using Neem oil, but it hasn’t worked. Does anyone know how to get rid of these little bugs?

What is the best way to apply this for thrips on my money tree?

So, I got my first string of pearls less than two months ago and it was thriving before a lot of the pearls first turned dark green and then withered away. I got a second one that was in poorer shape than the first, and it too has started doing the same thing. I initially thought I might have overwatered it, so I took special care to barely water the second one. How half the pearls are perfectly fine, and half turned dark green and are either shriveled or rotting. I have no clue as to why this happened in succession, please help me identify the cause and treat my rowley PS: in this picture, I plucked out the shriveled strings

I bought this plant about a month ago, and recently some mushrooms have been growing. This plant is a Hylotelephium ‘Coca Cola’, and I wasn’t sure if this is normal, or if I should remove them.

Can anyone tell me what these brown splotches on my ficus elastica/rubber plant mean? I just wanna double check that it’s not a sign of something like thrips, edema, or rust. I’m new to this plant, and I believe they all arrived with this on the underside of their leaves, but only noticed it recently on my ficus elastica burgundy, which led me to checking the others and finding the same patterning on them all. Aside from it, they’ve all seemingly been healthy, and all opened new leaves within a week of bringing them home. Please let me know if it’s just a previous watering problem. Any help is very greatly appreciated ☺️.

Anyone know what could be causing this “bubbling” texture on my 2 newest PPP leaves? No sign of pests as far as I can tell!

Is this black tinge on the leaves of my orchid from too much light exposure, or should i be concerned about something else? It’s been growing well, but the leaves keep gaining more of a black tint.

What’s wrong with this plant? It was doing so well then it started losing leaves in the middle and one leaf has a bubble.

There’s holes on the leaves, I checked it but I don’t see any bugs.

How did my coleus go from that first picture to the other three? It was doing fine until a week ago. I repotted it, yes, but it was root bound and unhappy in the terracotta since it likes to stay moist.
