I’ve been using neem oil but the spider mites keep getting worse, is it possible that it’s something else? Any advice is appreciated

What is happening to my Calidora Elephant Ear??? Leaves are drooping and breaking where I have the wire but there’s new growth as well in the middle. Is the pot too small? It’s currently in a plastic pot inside a terracotta one. I see some roots on the top of the soil. The soil is fairly moist. Not sure when was last time that I watered it though. The plant overall has never kept more than 3 leaves at the time. They all turned yellow and slowly died like it’s happening to the big yellow one. Please help!

What does this mean? Most leaves on this prayer plant have brown tips. and do i cut leaves off to help it?

I’ve had my fiddle leaf fig for about eight months. Sometimes it seems to be doing well, and sometimes, like lately, a bottom leaf will turn yellow and drop off. After reading a few posts here, I checked the roots, but I don’t know enough to know whether this is normal. it looks like there are some whitish maybe mold areas at the bottom of the pot? The roots look healthy but if they are coming out of the bottom, does that mean I should re-pot? It is directly in an east window and I water it once a week. I have sitting in a larger pot on top of that little grate for drainage.

Recently repotted my spider plant because he was root bound in his old planter, he’s been watered once since the change and has been dropping an insane amount of leaves since then. The soil is still damp but the dead leaves are more crispy, he had big healthy roots when I repotted him. I’d repot him again if I wasn’t afraid of stressing him out, can’t find any signs of pests. Any guesses as to what’s wrong would be appreciated, he’s my oldest plant and I’m gonna be devastated if he doesn’t make it

It looks like black mold at the base of the Dracaena leaves. I’ve only had the plant for a month. Any ideas what this is? Thanks!

Any ideas if this could be a pest. I’ve looked at it under a magnifying glass, no head or legs visible, not moving. Could it just be a piece of moss or something I need to treat?

Is it normal for this dracaena to lose this much leaves? Never had this problem before, what do I do?

I found what looks like 2 single adult thrips on the underside of my Money Tree. I used my phone flash light and inspected closely. That’s all I could find. I immediately removed from the room and sprayed heavily with insecticidal soap. The plant is about 1-2 ft from other plants. All those plants have been treated with systemic granules and I haven’t noticed anything. I actually didn’t see much of physical damage to the money tree leaves or anything. How likely is it that I caught it at the very early start and what do I need to continue looking for?

What’s wrong

Anyone know why my flamingo is losing its red color on these two leaves. It just grew a new one around the time they started turning yellow. Is this normal progression or is this something wrong. I’ve only had it for a couple months but until now I’ve had no problems.

THRIPS!! Does any one have a sure-fire way to rid my monsterra of them for good? This guy was doing great, then all of a sudden those lil b@&tards come out of nowhere and decided to reek havoc on my plants. No new ones have been brought in, in quite some time! It seemed to be as soon as summer hit, there they were! I have been using we are the wild protect with Neem spray, seems to be helping, but is there something else I should do?!

This plant lost ALL of its golden leaves and most of its green leaves when I first got it but then came back 10 times more gorgeous!! Remember this plant is you feel like all of your color is gone! It always comes back 💛

Does anyone know what to do with this. I’ve sorted what caused it. But don’t know whether to leave it or prune it off. Any help please

Hi, I found that my Guiana Chestnut/money tree had a bunch of ants in the soil when I went to water it the other day. I sprayed it with a warm water, dish soap, and organic pest control spray that has peppermint oil, and submerged it in water to get the ants out, then repotted it. Today I came back to check and there are ants on it again, so I’ve put it outside then I’ll probably get rid of it. My problem now is that keep seeing some more ants crawling on my windowsill around my other plants and I’m worried they’re going to get into my other plants. I’ve read that they only go into plants if the plant is sick or has mildew or something, so I’m hoping they won’t go in my others if there’s nothing wrong with them? But Is there anything I should do to keep them out of the rest of my plants? And how do I know they’re not getting in my others now? Thanks for any help!

Ok so I have 5 mums and only one of them seems to be surviving repotting. Any ideas as to why? And can I still save them?

What is happening to my dieffenbachia? Only one leaf looks like this! This plant is 2ft from a window, gets watered, has drainage, and diluted fertilizer.

Hey Hey, This is my weeping fig plant that I got about 6 months back. But now, all the leaves dropped and it’s completely dryyyy. How do I mnow if it died or is there any possibility for me to recover my plant?

Does anyone else know what would cause my alocasia to get brown tips like these? I propagated them from corms. They’ve been in leca the whole time. Dr. Planta says lack of drainage. I only put a bit of water in the jar (see pic). Is it still too much water? I realize the leca is wet in the picture, I just watered it. The leca is usually pretty dry except at the bottom obviously. lol
