Okay so I have this monstera that I just repotted for the first time and it’s starting to droop. Basically I just wanna know if my plant is doing okay 😀

Any idea what this white stuff is? This is my office plant and I’m getting worried. The leaves are starting to droop too. I water a small amount weekly because there is very little sun in here.

Does my basil plant need a new pot? She’s grown so much! I don’t want her to be cramped.

Some of my peace lily leaves are turning yellow. I’ve already pulled a few off. Does anybody know what’s wrong with it?

Hi, all my plants have thrips and I need good advice on getting rid of them plz!!!

Noticed some tiny brown spots on a couple of my philodendron birken's leaves this morning. I found an old reddit thread that suggested it's fungus — never had a fungus issue yet so any tips on confirming the diagnosis & how to treat would be appreciated! I love this guy so hopefully he can bounce back. It's not on all the leaves, is more present on some than others, and hasn't impacted new growth (he puts out a new leaf pretty much constantly)

What type of pest is that? They move fast and they are on my plant leaves especially on the new leaves and they are all curling because of them it’s been months I treat them and they always come back. I tought it was thrips but I just wanna make sure if its not something else?

I got this flame violet from someone, it looked healthy when I got it and within a week the leaves started browning, I don't have much natural lighting in my apartment so I got some grow lights, thinking maybe it wasn't getting enough light, the soil seems a normal wetness. Anyone have any idea why the leaves are browning and what I can do to make it healthy again?

Am I crazy, or is this a mushroom growing in my monstera?

I’ve never had this happen before but a lot of my plants have this greenish white stuff on top of the soil and one of my pothos grew an actual mushroom. Is this fungus? Is it from my house being humid?

What is this on the under side of my monsteras leaves? When I rub it it’s like a powder.

My fire flash started struggling about 2 weeks ago. I am battling gnats and have cut down the issue significantly, however, I’m worried about why she’s black on the stems and not as full as she was a couple weeks ago. I started using filtered water for her, but she was getting tap water. She is in a Mom Pot and has a drainage hole. She is under a grow light, as my windows are west facing and will definitely scorch her. Any guidance/help is greatly appreciated!

What do I do to make her look better? 😵‍💫 I’ve never used a moss pole and tried to tie her on one but I have leaves going in every direction and some are backwards. I have a few leaves folded over on itself and one flimsy sun damaged leaf. It looks pitiful

Just got this tiny alocasia melo the other day, it has new growth coming in but its leaf has started dying off which usually I dont question when my alocasias get new growth, but this one seems to be yellowing, is this normal or should I be worried?

What are these bugs?? Sorry for the super blurry photo but I don’t really want to touch my plant right now… I repotted my nerve plant a few days ago and saw some of these long white-ish bugs crawling around deep in the soil, gave it a quick rinse (just water) and put it in the new pot with a big spray of neem oil. Checked back in today and now there are a bunch of them crawling around the surface, and I have no idea what they are or what to do with it now.
