Hi all! What do u think is wrong with my aloe plant!? I recently trimmed those inner leaves, the outer ones have been cut for a while. It may not get enough water or sunlight- Included the distance from the glass door So should I cut those guys off? I am sure to use cinnamon to close the wounds after cuttings to prevent bacteria but maybe it didn’t help

There are little centipede-like bugs that get out of the soil when I water my plant. Are they bad?? What to do?

Hi there, I am a pretty experienced plant parent who hasn’t had pests up until this point. However I am very paranoid that my Philodendron might have thrips. Any thoughts? I have also noticed in the past that my pothos n’joy has had what appears to be dirt on the bottom of the leaves (sorry I don’t have a photo)… I would appreciate any advise you all have!

Have had this mystery plant for a little over a year and there have been no issues, but recently she developed brown spots all over her leaves. She is usually in low light a few feet from the window, and I water her daily, so I was curious if it could be root rot (and if so, what I should do). Would greatly appreciate if anyone knows what she is or could give a diagnosis. :)

Hi everyone! I recently got my Ponytail Palm around a month or so ago and this started happening. I watered it a bit a couple days ago and left it alone to hopefully heal but it still looks like this. The soil is completely, completely dry so I’m watering it a bit again. Anyone know what’s happening and how to fix it??

My little cat decided she was hungry, though she constantly eats and throws it up, so her first option was the air plant I had on the top shelf on a faraway bookshelf. Apparently she didn’t see the two food bowls she had to pass to get to it, so. Here it is. Quick note, the reason I posted this under “Pests, diseases and problems” is b/c my cat is all of those things I love her though. Somehow.

Planta is telling me my money tree is not getting enough sun. This makes no sense to me because she is as close to my window as possible, and my room gets long hours of afternoon sun. Is Planta right or should I just ignore it? (And I do have the correct info in the settings of the plant that says she is right by the window.)

Why is my golden pothos yellowing

Hello! I’m coming here very concerned for my sunflower plant ☹️ it seems to be gaining more brown spots on its lower leaves which I thought was a watering issue at first but that doesn’t seem to be the problem.. can anyone help diagnose? Someone said fungal and I just want a second opinion and also some remedies if so. Thanks 🌻🤎

I’ve noticed that my citrus tree is starting to get a little limp but it’s not changing color. Can someone please tell me what wrong and how to fix it!

Anyone know reasons why my ficus leaves are dropping? I just barely touched a leaf and it fell off so easily. I brought it home from a nursery a week ago and watered it because the soil was completely dry. It’s located by a bright window but not direct sun.

Hi Everyone! So I transferred my Alocasia Jacklyn to leca last week and it’s very sad. One of the leaves is so droopy it won’t stand on its own. And another one is getting more yellow 😭 Any advice?

saw some fungus gnats so it’s time to burn down the house (sprayed all plants with neem oil and put sticky traps in the bigger pots and soaked all the soils with a dish soap/neem oil mixture) (i also have the bonide systemic insect control granules on the way and i’m going to repot the main suspects asap) (if the granules dont work what i do next is between me and god)

Does anyone know why my dwark umbrella tree’s leaves keep turning yellow and falling off? It seems to be more towards the bottom half of the plant and they all go down one by one rather than all at the same time.

Does anyone know how to successfully and PERMANENTLY get rid of mealy bugs. I’ll hose the plant down but they still come back. I’ve used neem oil and they still come back. I’ve sat there and wiped off every mealy bug I saw and they still come back. Please help🥲

Spider mites galore! Please help i’m begging 😍😭😭 Quite literally my entire collection of plants (50+) is infested with spider mites at varying levels and I just found out today. I’ve been having a very busy few weeks and the only thing i’ve been barely keeping up with is watering. i went to go water my plants today and found the mites covering multiple of my ivy plants, my huge elephant ear, my calathea rescue and spreading onto countless others. the idea that my entire collection of over 4 years of care and hundreds of dollars could die and be wasted and this is haunting me right now and i can’t think straight. Is there anything you guys could recommend? I sprayed everything with general insecticide for the night and my mom is helping me take everything out of my room tomorrow because it’s too late tonight to worry. Literally anything and anything helps. (sorry for any grammar or spelling errors)

Hi! I’ve had these cacti since May, never been repotted and have been absolutely fine for months - I believe they’re ‘toothpick’ cactus but i’m not 100% sure In the past couple of weeks this one has mysteriously started to shrink and turn black (for reference it was the same size as the others) Does anyone know why? Or if it can be saved? The other two are absolutely fine and no sign of doing the same at all! Thanks in advance :)

Hi, I’ve got a Kentia Palm that leave tips going brown. Did have it in my lounge but a lady from plant centre said to keep it humid. Lounge is south facing and very hot so thought maybe bathroom might be better for the humidity? Newly got Parlor Palm so that might be the same, keeping it humid.
