It’s been raining a lot recently where I live. I went outside yesterday during a break in the rain and saw that I have a ton of small orange / orange-brown mushrooms popping up all over my grass. Does anyone know what these are and if I should be worried about getting rid of them or not? And if so, how do you remove these?
I have tiny flying bugs all over. I have tried neem oil so far. Will be trying Diatomaceous earth soon. Would it hurt my plants if I took everyone outside, repotted them into fresh soil and then fog the house to mitigate the bugs in the house?
3 weeks, no mealy bugs. Plant and soil both treated. Think it's safe to take her out of quarantine?
My Calathea Rattlesnake hasn’t been doing so hot lately. Her leaves are getting crispy at the edges and I’m not quite sure how to fix this problem. I have a plant humidifier, but I’m not sure if it’s useful or not. She has put out a couple new leaves recently, and it’s just some of the older ones are slightly browning. Any ideas?
I'm going to treat with Q-tips and alcohol and quarantine anyway, but does this look like it could be mealy bugs?
anyone know why my prayer plant leaves are curling 😖 i thought it could be bc it didn't have enough humidity but ive been spraying it twice a day
My prayer plant has been doing great for months. I just noticed that these two incoming leaves are rotting. I checked the roots and didn’t find any problems, but still have it fresh soil anyway. Does anyone know what could be going on?
She was doing great then her leaves began drooping. The good news is she has 3 white flowers coming in but yet seems so sad. I allowed her roots to dry just in case she was overwatered and repotted her with fresh soil. Any other suggestions?
I have gnats and all my plants are slowly dying idk what to do I’ve switched to bottom watering and sprayed with pest spray and have sticky traps please they need help I’ve lost so many already 😭
my caladium is doing great with an exception of this one leaf i'm not sure why it's the only one dropping. There is a much larger leaf that stands tall along with other smaller leaves but the one just won't stop dropping i put it closer to the window , gave it water and just not sure what the problem could be. not sure why it's not happening to the other leaves.
My monstera has a ton of fungus gnats in it, and I have sticky traps to catch the adults but more keep hatching. Any suggestions on how to kill the larvae ? I don’t want to use mosquito bits because of the toxicity but I am having a hard time finding other methods
So two plants and so many problems: Orchid: so my orchid on the front right leaf has this weird bubble on it and it’s really strange. Second pictures shows the left second leaf from the front is starting to get holes in it. Why is it doing this? Third picture is the leaf to container, should I change out its container to a bigger size Marble Queen Pothos: bought it several weeks ago and thought it was a good idea to put it in a pot with my normal pothos. I gave it a week and it continued to deteriorate. I put it in this smaller pot to see if this helps it. So far nothing has helped it from drooping. The leaves were really curling in on itself and turning yellow. The yellow and curling leaves have gone but still very droopy. I watered it last night. There is a tad bit of yellow but that happened a while ago and hasn’t gotten worse. There have been some dark brown spots as well but the roots are fine. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!
Our corn plant is struggling on one side. Not sure if the tallest stalk has died or can it be treated. First photo from 11/23 where move to new place. Recently had some flowing but not photo Now this is what has happened. Any help or ideas.
African violet isn’t doing so good. I’ve been watering it on schedule. It was in the living room but I think my cat ate some of it so I moved it to my room. It is in a self watering pot. Had to remove some leaves that had holes in them. All the flowers are dying. What do I do?????
How do I save this pothos? I bought her at Home Depot and her pot was overflowing with water so when I brought it home I changed the soil so it wouldn’t be drowning anymore and didn’t water it for a few days and now she’s turning all yellow and droopy with dark spots.
I just got 5 new houseplants mailed to me and my boyfriend found a flea for the first time ever. We don’t have any pets and the only new thing we’ve introduced is the plants. Can plants carry fleas and if so how do I kill them without killing my plants?
I have 2 cuttings and the original pothos, all three seem to be struggling in their own ways. Any advice is appreciated. The first is in water. Idk why leaves are turning yellow. Maybe I replaced water with tap instead of distilled? South facing window. The second is in a self-watering pot. Recently repotted with indoor potting soil and perlite mix. Why the brown spots? New babies shrivel up. Also south facing window. The last and original is actually doing pretty well but it takes a longer time than it (seemingly) should to dry in between watering. Outside, south facing covered porch. Super humid and hot this time of year.
My monstera has these brown spots that just run right off (powdery) on many back leaves! What do I do?
FILTER FOR GARDEN TAP My flowerbed is watered using an irrigation system connected directly to mains, and I’d love to add a filter for both chlorine and limescale removal, to help the more sensitive plants. Is installing such filters a good idea? Looking for a general chat on the subject. I can only find filters that either do gasses, or limescale, not both. Which would be better to eliminate? Any sharing of experience, including products used, would be appreciated
This is the before and after of my pineapple plant. It was healthy a week ago and it just started turning yellow and I don’t think they turn yellow this early. I got it in February (first picture). And now it’s like this.
