Does anyone know what's up with these mushrooms?? I've got them in my dragon cactus, my happy bean, and my peanut cactus. I didn't have an issue with them until I moved back into my dorm. Are these bad? Should I remove them? Is there something I should change so they don't come back

I thought my zebra plant turned red from over concentrated fertilizer, so I took a break from fertilizing, but that was a few months ago and it hasnāt changed. Itās in part sun part shade with a grow light on the second to lowest setting. Iām watering it on schedule. Anyone know if this is from something else or how to get it back to green?
Side note, a couple of my other succulents (in different locations) have had some leaves turn red on the bottom, so I donāt think itās sunburn. And I had stopped fertilizing all at the same time.

Are all mushrooms okay? Iāve heard in the past mushrooms can mean healthy soil but this type of mush is new to me š

Help. Ants!
Really though, I have ants in the soil of my fiddle leaf fig. Itās time to bring it inside for the season from my porch and Iām not sure what to do about them. They are 100% little black āsugar antsā (idk if thatās the real name, itās what weāve always called them).
They arenāt hurting the plant, but I canāt bring them in. Would DE potentially work sprinkled on top of the soil? Iām financially in a tough spot so Iād prefer not to change the soil unless I must.

Hello! I desperately need help with this dang plant. So Iāve had a mini rose for two years now, named it Thorn In my A**, because it has been exactly that. I moved it outside this summer and it LOVED IT. Never had that many roses and thick stems. Well, I think I should of brought it back inside a few weeks ago as it got cooler and probably watered it better because I kind of forgot and a bunch of leaves dried up, fell off and some are yellow. Well we had thunderstorms for 3 days so it got lots of water. I repotted and refreshed the soil soil, watered it again because of the repot, then brought it inside. Two days later a couple of the leaves are half bright yellow developing in the center/lower portion of the leaf.
Did I overwater it? Could it be transplant shock? Some of the roots got torn off from heavy chunks of soil when I refreshed it, but not a lot.
Also, and the most important⦠Any tips for keeping this thing alive through the winter?!
Thank you for any help!

Iāve had this corn plant for almost a year and it hasnāt grown an inch. Itās deep green but has curling leaves and brown tips. Does anyone have any insights on how to encourage growth?
hi yāall! so about a year and a half ago i got a clipping of a spider plant from my teacher and it was pretty small then. since then itās grown pretty well, but it hasnāt gotten that distinctive stripe that i know should be on the leaves. i water it regularly, keep it in my windowsill, repotted it about two months ago, and have only used liquid fertilizer once. i also have a few burnt edges :// is this normal or should i do something? if yes, then what should i do? thanks!

Hi,
I have a few Umbrella plants pots.
I got them because they are low maintenance and a beginner like me can keep them alive.
The leaves on a couple of them though, are sticky now and they do not look happy.
One of my friends recommended washing the leaves with water and soap. Which I did 5-6 times. But the stickiness is not gone. And I can see very tiny bugs attached to the leaves as well. I have to scrape them off.
Please is there a solution for this?
Thanks,
Leila

Hi! Does anyone have any advice for plant shock after repotting? Iāve never experienced this before. Itās for my White Princess Philodendron, sheās wilted and has a few yellow leaves that started about 4 days after repotting and seems to be getting worse. I appreciate any advice.

Hi :)
I Hope you are having a great day. I just noticed my pothos n joy has mushrooms growing on it. Besides the fact that they are unpleasant to look at, I wonder if they are toxic/dangerous in any way. Should I get rid of the plant or what do you recommend I do to get rid of the mushrooms?
Thank you so much in advance! Really appreciate it.
