How salvageable is my mini rose bush? it used to be so bushy, green and flowering, but then it had aphids, I treated that, and it was a lil sad but recovered and bloomed again. Then it got spider mites and I didn't notice and now I'm here. What do I do? All new growth is dry, and wilts off almost immediately. The mites completely covered the bush by the time I noticed. Still treating with neem oil and a hose shower. I love her so much somebody help me please.

Hello! I have a beautiful birds of paradise (Tweedy) that I have been growing over the last 3 years. She was my very first plant and I always do my best to take the very best care of her. Iâm noticing some concerning issues and I donât know what Iâm doing wrong. Positives: sheâs putting out new leaves (2 this season) and is growing taller and taller. Negatives: Her new leaves are crinkly? And Iâm noticing some yellow spots on her leaves. Sheâs in a North/ West facing space and has a 8hour grow light. Any ideas?

Very worried. Moved my pathos propagation to the pot and this happened. Could it be diseased soil?

My grandmother recently passed & I inherited her Chinese evergreen. I already had one she had gifted me years ago & decided to combine them. The 2 stalks Iâve circled in red are what I received & repotted recently. They donât appear to be doing well while mine that Iâve had a while (tall stalk in center) still seems to be thriving. I repotted it probably about a month ago. Any tips or suggestions to keep it from dying? Or is this normal?

Maybe my first ever case of mealy bugs ever. Iâve had plants for years and thanks to my boyfriend telling me I had a spider next to my plant (a real spider but I panicked and thought I had spider mites) it when I actually found these. Iâm baffled because Iâve not bought a new plant in months! Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I will grab some neem oil tomorrow.

Help:
Neighbors 101: so I have the type of neighbors who hop over break windows, break into my house when Iâm away, park and peep through windows on their driveway.
Neighbor comes out his house starts walking directly towards the dividing fence specifically where Iâm tending my chickens⊠sprays and goes all over , I was forced to move and they murmured in a cruel laughter.
If I prune the palms , would the affected spots not spread?
How can I save this ,

What is happening to my fig plant? I planted in the spring in zone 8a NC. It grew quickly and beautiful, in the last couple of weeks I started to see spots on the leaves, some are getting yellow.

My philodendron is growing beautifully but I noticed this week that the lower new growth is pink in color while the new growth on top is green. Is this pink color normal?

Hi, I believe the yellow/browning is from too much sun as I have changed its placement and this is the first time itâs doing this. Anyone know how to reverse sun damage? Thank you!

Hey does anyone know whatâs going on with my lucky bamboo?
Planta said it was in too bright of a spot so I just moved it but Iâm curious if the leaves with the brown spots are from something else?
Also is the water and rock level okay? Iâm not sure if the little stump is supposed to be above or under waterâŠ
Thanks in advance!

I found little turd-looking drops on the leaves of my mini purple this morning. This plant lives inside, so Iâm not sure where these droplets are coming from. Any ideas??

Hey, does any one know what has happened to my Cury Slim air plant? I just noticed it this morning and it's the side closest to the window, maybe it's the cold? Can anyone help

Rust? I have this on several of my philodendrons. The white specks donât move so Iâm not thinking mites. Any ideas? Iâve started treating two weeks ago with a fungicide, but itâs hard to say if itâs working or not

Wondering in these spots on my snake plant are concerning? And it's droopiness? I only water when the soil is dry and she's near a window with partial light

Hey guys!! I got a spider plant recently and I repotted her a few nights ago and gave her a big drink with some miracle grow. Yesterday she was looking glorious and had sprouted some new growth stems for her babies. But today I came home from work and her leaves are browning and soft at the end :( I'm wondering if it's because I shouldn't have gave her plant food? I don't water her until the soil is dry so I have a hard time thinking it's overwatering?? I'm thinking maybe her new growth is making her redirect her energy to the new babies and less to her leaves?? Any advice I'll add pictures of her, her new stems and her brown tips. Much appreciated đ thank u
