Iâve got a rubber tree that has a few spots like this on some of the leaves. I assume itâs sunburn from the adjustment period because I bought it from a garden section in a hardware store. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Pinch off the leaves? Or just leave them?

Does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying mosquitoes that hide in plants? last night i was trying to kill one, and I hit a leaf of my fiddle fig, obviously I apologized to my beautiful little plant but she keeps hiding them!!!

Hi, I have a terrible mushroom problem in my yard and in my gardens- brand new to home ownership and caring for a yard. I do have a weed service that cares for the lawn as well as one to handle pests but these strange mushrooms are everywhere and all different types. Also is there a way to determine if they are toxic to my pets or kiddos?

Hello, wondering if this can become a serious issue with my aloe veras. It has been raining a lot lately, but they are mostly covered. I just wanted to ask before I cut the damaged parts off. Thanks for any help you can give!

HELP PLEASE!!!
Does anyone know why my Bonsai Treeâs soil is shrinking in the pot? I thought that it was an overwatering problem, but I havenât watered if for at least 2 weeks.
Whatâs the problem?
What should I do?

Hi guys, I have this huge alocasia California thatâs been growing crazy since I got her around 4 months ago. The problem is she also drops leaves like crazy. The stems will dehydrate and then droop until it eventually turns yellow. I thought I mightâve been a watering issue but I make sure sheâs always moist throughout. There are no bugs or pests, and other than that she is really healthy. Would this be a fertilizing issue by chance? (White powder is diatomaceous earth)

Just got some hydrangeas and repotted them two days ago. Today the pink one was dying and Iâm not sure what to do. Not sure why the blue one has discolored leaves as well but the flowers and stems seem strong. They are both in the same area. Any advice? Completely new to gardening, any advice helps. Thanks!!

Anyone know how to prevent edema in fiddle leaf figs leaves? Mine started getting it on all the new leaves a couple months ago so I repotted it into a larger pot. That fixed the issue and new leaves came in with no spots for a while but now itâs starting up again. Is it a watering issue? Lighting issue?

Hello! I went out to check my zucchini and squash plants today and noticed some orange mush coming out of the bases of the plants and the vines and leaves look wilted and some are brown. I got a lot of rain today and theyâve been watered twice this week. I did some research and it might be squash vine borers. Any ideas on what I should do?

I went to water the plants today and I watered the mystery plant.
It was a grafted tangerine tree that died during the winter, but now their two stalks. On the stalks were two giant swallowtail caterpillars, and I donât know how to feel about it.
What should I do??? I donât want to hurt them but Iâm afraid that itâll hurt the plant

I just started using the app and I donât really have a green thumb. I have a majestic palm that I need to fertilize. Would love a recommendation from someone on what type to use.
Thank you.

Money tree lost a couple leaf I thought due to sunburn - I did leave it in a new location next to afternoon sun and I donât think it liked it, itâs also been sitting around under a fan. These are my only thoughts as to whatâs wrong? Today the new bigger leaf was plucked prompting this post. Iâm following the planta water schedule and fertilizing

I have a hosta planted in the ground outside and she's not doing well at all. I just fertilized her today, and she is planted in mulch. She has a lot of tiny holes in her leaves đ so it may be a pest of some sort? Not sure I've never had pests before. It also may be underwatering because since she is outside I forget about her often but my indoor plants get more care. It may also be the weather recently, we have had a lot of cloudy and windy days, but not much rain here in Pennsylvania. If you need anymore info to help me, please ask. But Please help!
