How would I get rid of aphids on my Carolina Reaper?

Should I prune this leaf from my beauty? It was on it when I got her and just never snipped it off.

First time mama here for such a big and unique (to me) plant. I bought Burgundy (Ficus Burgundy) about a month ago for my birthday. But I can’t seem to help her stop losing leaves. I keep seeing them turn yellowish and then fall off. I am using the Planta app to tell me when to water her (about once a week), but it still isn’t helping. Please help! Here are a few things: 1) I did not repot her 2) The soil feels dry all the time from top to bottom. I don’t want to overwater her (feed once a week and only until the water starts to drain from the drain holes) 3) She is less than a foot away from a window with sheer white curtains 4) I have a covered vent on the floor near her but the house stays at 70-72 degrees and there is no direct breeze/wind hitting her 5) the leaves are wilting (towards the bottom) 6) some leaves are still upright (towards the top) 7) some leaves are yellowish 8) other leaves are split (even though I didn’t do anything to split them)

One of my snake plant leaves is yellowing and a bit soft. I water once a month. I haven’t watered this guy in almost a month. What’s going on? Should I cut the yellow leaf off?

Is there anything I can do to bring this sweet baby back? He was the plant that got me into gardening and hasn't looked good since I repotted him about a month ago. Advice would be sincerely appreciated!

Is this blight? My customer had this lil rubber tree in their waiting room and it was looking so sad and dry, so I gave it some water from my bottle. My customer saw me doing this and asked if I wanted to take it home because nobody in the office was willing to take responsibility for caring for it lol. Now that I’m getting a closer look at it, I’m noticing these spots on a few of the leaves. I have it quarantined outside in the shade for now. Gave it a repot with fresh soil, snipped all of the leaves with any spots (plus one stem that looked like it had some funk on it) and I sprayed it down with some 3% hydrogen peroxide and neem oil/filtered water. Am I wasting my energy lol, or is it possible that I caught it in time? Is there anything else I can/should do?

I just noticed my alocasia’s new leaf is turning yellow. I’m not sure whether it’s root rot, nutrient deficient, and/or low humidity. The tiny leaf is the newest, it hadn’t unfurled yet at the nursery. Any help is appreciated for a novice like me! Care: - Purchased and repotted over a month ago - Water every ~7 days - Feed every 14 days - Bright indirect light

Birkin looking a bit floppy recently and a couple leaves turning yellow/falling off, any ideas? Water it once a week and gets good light. Owned for at least a year in same pot.

I’ve got these white beads on the soil of two of my plants and I’m trying to figure out if it’s some type of fungus or bug eggs or just the perlite in the soil gathering together?

Recently picked two plants up from the reptile and amphibian terrarium section of a pet store (in my defense, they were both only $7), and they were in this POOL filled with water 😱 their soil was soaked and I noticed some webs, and saw one spider crawl out, but checked them for pests and the roots looked good once I got them home. I repotted them in some fresh, dry soil surrounding their current soil, and I’m gonna let it dry out completely before watering, but I’d like to ask for any tips to prevent any possible pest exposure now that they’re home. They’re currently in quarantine, and I haven’t seen anything on them since, but I’d like to be safe than sorry. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if my pumpkin plant could be in trouble? This is the stem of the plant when I put it into the ground a couple months ago when it was a small plant the stem broke but it still grew and now it looks like this and the plant is completely healthy and producing female flowers now

Remove the mesh!! I can’t stress this enough. Almost every plant I’ve purchased, this year in particular, has had a mesh pod surrounding its original roots. It’s a cheap and easy way for the greenhouses to propagate but they don’t remove them. It’s like potting a pot inside another one. While some roots may be able to poke through many are left to rot because these pods also hold the moisture in the center. So while your outer soil is drying up the root ball and center are staying too moist leading to rotting roots and eventually killing your plants. 🪴✌️

Since everyone has been SO amazing and helpful here, I thought I’d go ahead with my *hopefully* last question about a plant issue. I’ve had my fiddle leaf for almost 4 years. I recently repotted into a bigger pot with new soil. Has drainage. He lives in a room with south and east windows, this is during the year EXCEPT summer he comes to the patio. This year he is looking ROUGH😬He has new growth but even that is looking ick. What have I done? Do i need new soil? Cut him back? Better location? On the deck he’s closer to the east and gets late afternoon/early evening indirect sun. Not a ton of sun, TBH. I’m posting pics and the pic with my hand in it is the new growth. Any help is amazing! Thank you, plant friends!!🌱💚

My heart leaf philodendron is struggling—it has yellow leaves and all the leaves have red streaks in them are curling. Is it overwatering, under watering, or something else completely?

So this zebra plant keeps getting these big brown spots and leaves keep falling off. I always try to keep her soil moist but that doesn’t seem to help. Any tips or suggestions??
