Does anyone have any tips on keeping squirrels out of your flowers? I’ve already tried sprinkling cayenne pepper in my plants, Irish spring soap pieces in them and around them. I’m NOT wanting to hurt the squirrels 🐿️ but I do want an effective way to keep them out and away from my plants :) lol I am desperate, I will take any advice I can get :) (we have a bird feeder and are scared that a fake owl is going to scare the birds off)

Does this look like the stem is rotting? I’ve had this orchid for almost a year with no issues until now. I had this plant it the window and the browning side was facing towards the window so is it just sunburnt or something? It doesn’t feel mushy or anything.

Anyone know why the newest leaf on my BoP is coming in with this damage? :(

Does anyone know what happened to my poor Boom Boom? 😭 Her history: I got her from tik tok shop over a month ago, arriving with fungus gnats. She was isolated, treated with neem oil, and dried out a little (not too much for it to be harmful I think) between waterings. The infestation from my eyes is gone, but I have systemic granules on the way. Location: She is one foot away from a SW facing window, receiving indirect light. Soil: She’s in miracle grow houseplant potting mix, with about 20% perlite mixed in for extra drainage (miracle grow Ik has problems with being too moist). I wait to water her until 2 days after planta’s notification. I also have it on a small pebble tray for humidity.

Hi! Has anyone been experiencing this? Or know how to help? The leaves keep turning yellow and new leaves are brown and the trunk has some brown spots. Thanks for the help

My Hoya Kerri was under a grow light that was too close and the new leaves at the top are damaged. Should I remove them? It has been moved to a window.

I asked Planta AI for help but I don’t agree with the diagnosis (said lack of light). I have this corn plant (had it for 4 years), it’s been in the same location and was doing very well. I started noticing these yellow/red spots on some of the leaves. I water and fertilize on a schedule (and only water if needed). Is it a fungal problem? What should I do? Thanks!

Okay y’all…. I need help FAST! 😩 this plant was in my bathroom and doing fine. A couple of weeks ago I thought oh let me move you outside to get more growth. (Should’ve moved in the spring) I think it got WAAAAY too much sun and is stressed out. I don’t know what to do though. I moved it back inside for now. Just don’t know what else to do.

I got a spider plant from a lady in my area. They started in water. I planted them in normal planting soil. Then when they were getting a bit over grown I split them and gave half to my sister and I kept the other half. Both slowly turned brown at the tips, but didn’t fully die. I ended up taking mine out of the dirt and cleaned it off and put it In the top of my fish tank. I saw a few videos saying that it is great for them. But both hers and mine are turning brown at the tips still. Mine has lessened in size since I put it in the water from mainly pulling dried leaves off before placing it In the water. They both get indirect light and mine has a plant light as well for the fishtank plants. I’m not sure what to do since they both live in different environments but still turn brown slowly..

Best ways to get rid of fungus gnats? Nothing is working for me, at least the at home remedies. Need the hard stuff 😭

I’m not sure why my peperomia has been dying, i havent been over watering it, any tips?

Hi Everyone! I have a lemon tree that was just BUSTING with blooms and new growth. I had kept it watered, just right, at the same time every day without fail. One day I got a stomach bug and was in bed, but I forgot to have someone water my plants and we had a horrible scorching day, when we had been having nice mild sunny days up until then. It got completely fried and dried out!(As did all of my other plant babies!)and I was in an air-conditioned room so I did not realize how hot it was outside. So I watered it gently and hoped it would be ok. I lamented to my husband about the situation, and, unbeknownst to me, he tried to “help” my plants by setting our sprinkler to get them along with the lawn. It was a nice thought, but he didn’t know that would constitute excessive overwatering. To make everything even worse, the timer on our sprinkler failed and that water was on them ALL NIGHT LONG! When he told me that, I rushed out to see the damage. Most of my plants seemed ok, but my gorgeous lemon tree had lost MOST of its gorgeous, healthy leaves! There was also signs of insect damage which I’d never seen before. All of the blossoms look terrible, and I have a bad feeling the tiny lemons inside some of the blossoms will just fall off soon. This particular plant is my BABY! Now I don’t know what to do. If I lose it completely I’ll be so devastated!! I was just about to repot it but now I know the ensuing shock will probably be the end of it, so I’m holding off for now. Any advice on what to do with a truly scorched and then drown Meyer Lemon tree? Any help would be SO appreciated! Do I dare feed it? Or hold off until it recovers?(IF it recovers!)

How to treat scales on lime tree?? It had these on the bottom of the leaves and I scanned the AI and it came up as scales. I scraped them off all the leaves, what kind of insecticide should I use? Someone told me neem oil? I appreciate any advice!!

Hi all! I’ve had a bird of paradise for about 5 years and it’s had scale the whole time. I’ve repotted (with a rubbing alcohol root wash), undergo a regular regiment of removing scale with rubbing alcohol pads and spraying with neem oil and bonide. All the while, the scale keeps coming back but new shoots keep growing. Occasionally the scale will kill the smallest/lowest frond but another will typically sprout soon after. The scale is now starting to take a toll on my plant and the whole thing is leaning and needs support. Any recommendations? Is this a curable issue, or will my BoP forever live in plant quarantine? Will I forever live in an endless cycle of hope and disappointment!?

Hi! Does anyone know what’s going on with this violet? It belongs to my cousin and she’s had it in a window getting lots of afternoon sun. The soil is also slightly damp a few inches down, but definitely not wet. Is it just going dormant? Thank you for your help!
