I was given this plant by a friend because they were killing it. At first it just looked under watered and diseased. This morning I noticed what I think are thrips in the soil. How do I get rid of them?

I love this plant immensely, but it was drowning from being accidentally overwatered. I reported it but it has still been deteriorating significantly. Is it too far gone or is there still a chance to save it?

Hey everyone! Im new to gardening and I have some questions about Neem oil. I recently bought a citrus tree and I have noticed fine webbing on the branches. I’m not 100% sure if it’s spider mites but I want to treat it with Neem oil just in case. How many times should it be applied to my plants and can it be applied directly to the soil?

My corn plant has really been struggling lately and I’m not sure what’s up. I’ve had it for a couple of years and it’s always been very green with strong leaves but over the past several months (beginning in late autumn) its top leaves have started to turn tan/get translucent and it’s bottom leaves, although green, are always wilted. For some context, this all started while it was cold out so the plant was indoors and under a grow light until about mid-April. It’s now out on my porch in the shade. I’ve changed its soil (roots looked good - bright orange - when I did that) and am watering it about once every 7 days although it gets watered more frequently if it rains in between.

I’ve got some spots on my dracaena. Any idea what this is? Fungus gnats? The spots are only on top leaves close to crown. The plant is otherwise healthy.

Hey! Do we think this could be mosaic? I had an adansonii with mosaic that I destroyed, and now I’m paranoid that all the other plants I watered with or near it are going to get it :(

Has anyone had success keeping a Begonia Chlorosticta alive? I just got a baby plug that all but 1 leaf melted away within the first week of putting it in its new dome home. Got activated charcoal at base and layered pearlite then aroid mix near top. I think it might be a goner but thought i’d reach out to any advanced Begonia people out there. I’ve heard they like to melt whenever transplanted. But if i’m doing something wrong please tell me! 🙏🏻🌿 (Ignore crocodile fern in back) (Second pic is what it looked like a week ago)

I repotted my rubber tree last week and two of the leaves are yellowing and have this black deterioration of the leaves. It’s not wet of mushy at all. Just pits of black. Does anyone know what this is?

My Ficus keeps losing leaves due to an unknown reason. The leaves turn yellow, and then brown, and then to the slightest touch, just fall off. I’ve looked everywhere and can not figure out what is happening! I’ll change the soil tomorrow, and I hope that will help! I’ve also tried more water, less water, pulling off old leaves, and nothing seems to work. It keeps spreading up the plant, and so far I’ve lost almost half of it, and I don’t know why. Any other ideas? I’m really needing some help! I just took a closer look, and it seems as if my plant has a disease!!?

Just got back from vacation, and my plants were a mess. Mushrooms were all over the yard, two of my plants’ had moldy soil, my Peace Lily being one that had mold AND yellow leaves. My Venus’ Flytrap being another that had mold. My Calla Lily had an animal digging in it’s soil, it looked like a large vole, or basically a tail-less brown rat. I chased it away as it ate some of the roots, and my Rhododendron was being destroyed as well. I trimmed the moldy leaves and flowers on my 3 Cyclamens and everything was mostly fixed. I practically started ugly crying when I came home to all this mess. I have 3 cats, and they did NO HARM to my indoor plants, and if they did, I would have been SOOOOO mad.

Does anyone know some good tricks/tips for getting rid of thrips? I just found some on my dutch clover.

Hello!! I’ve had a blueberry plant since April and all the flowers fell off and it still hasn’t produced any blueberries. It is very much alive though, other than the blooms being gone. I’ve been watering and fertilizing it when I am supposed to. I just wanted to know if anyone had any advice? maybe I need to somehow self pollinate it? Please help! 🫐

Monstera with 3 leaves but not a large plant. What causes black grow on a leaf?? Think its root rot or over watering. Cut out the black shape, but I repotted this plant back into its original smaller pot with Coco core, pearl light, bark, and it’s much happier. And I added a cedar wood pole ( for now)

Hi everyone! My plumeria is growing beautiful this year, but I noticed this brown spot on some leaves (not all of them) I’m wondering if it’s too much sun or some kind of disease, I don’t see any kind of bugs so please if you know what should I do or pests recommendations I would really appreciate it!

😢 My pepper plants aren’t doing well. I googled it and found out that it was most likely phytophthora blight. I treated them with a fungicide this morning. I’ve been expecting them to die soon.

I have decided to let Ginger, my mint plant, go. I am moving her to the graveyard, because of her critical condition. 😔😣😔

I moved my Cucumbers into real ground, because someone said that they were too crowded, and I think that was a mistake because they are now dying and getting white leaves. They get half sun half shade and I water them every 2 days.
