Hi guys! I bought this to help with gnats and I put one drop in a gallon of water. I still have gnats. Should I add more drops?

I’ve got a stem routing on my global green Pothos…any ideas? It’s otherwise been a healthy and voracious plant. I water when the soil is nearly all dry. It does have a root coming out the bottom but I wouldn’t think that would cause rot.

I checked on my maranta that I have growing in water and found this!! I’m not sure what pest it is but it’s freaking me out. I washed the plant and vase, sprayed all over with a neem oil solution, and I’m now quarantining it. Any thoughts on what it is and any other steps I can take? TIA

I bought a rescue Croton from Lowe’s to try to save (it was $4 and is nooottt in good shape). I can’t tell if it has spider mites or not. If it does (I’m leaning that direction), how do I attack it? I see so many different ways to combat it. Thankfully the plant is in quarantine faarrrrr away from my normal plant collection so they will be safe.

I was late by one or two days to water, my blood leaf. I watered her yesterday, and she usually perks right back up by now. She hadn't perked up any by this afternoon so I watered her again thinking that I didn't water her enough. What can I do?

The leaves on my ivy plant have dried up whilst i’ve been away, although they’re still green, is there any way or making it come back to life?

Any tips for my sad looking droopy coleus? I also noticed some leaves are drying out and turning crispy not from the edges but from the middle.

Help! My boyfriend got me this Calla Lily plant and it doesn’t seem to be doing well. For context, it was in his trunk for a day or two before he gave it to me, so it didn’t get enough sunlight or water. I’ve had it for almost a few now and I’ve been going by the instructions in the app, but it still doesn’t seem to be doing well. What could be the issue? What am I doing wrong? P.S.: I’m a newbie and don’t know much about plants

my pothos is relatively healthy, however I noticed the new growths starting to brown and my soil going white. I read that repotting in winter is a bad idea as the plant can go into shock, but I’m not sure this soil is a health environment for the plant. Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Can someone please help me identify the issue with my pothos here? I’m starting to see such black spots on some leaves including on some new ones. What should I do?

Help!!!! I saved this gorgeous Peace Lily from the streets. It was super sad and so I repotted it and gave it water and it sprang to life. Over the winter its not loves the drop in temperature but it’s still lovely and green. It’s been watered and fed. Its always been a little droopy since I found it but recently a few of the leaves has curled up!! Help? I really want to save this plant. The soil is moist (I use a soil regulator to check) but I’m unsure if it’s over watering (no water out of the bottom/in pot) or whether it needs more light? Any tips greatly appreciated!

Hiya Planta Comunity!! So I was told that my BOP has crown rot but they didn’t say how to treat it. Does anyone know how to? It’s definitely not that bad but I don’t want my plant to die.

My monstera standleyana has this one leaf that is now browning. I received this propagated beauty from a friend. The two largest leaves were what we started with a few months back now. I have two new lovely white leaves coming in but the one that is now browning. Is it just time for the leaf to die off or could it be something else?

Hello all! I’ve had a calathea dottie now for about 3 months. I have noticed plant growth since I got it but the leaves keep curling and turning dark brown. I have a humidifier on in the day while it’s light and turn it off when it’s dark. The humidity in my room stays in the 50-60 range As far as I can tell I have done everything to stop this happening. I now have reminders on my phone to water her so that I have a more regular watering routine. The issue I think may be the problem is living in England, and it being winter at the moment, since I cannot keep my room a single temperature. I need the radiator on to keep my room at about 20-23 C, however that eats away at the humidity in my room because it drys out the air. At an estimate my room is just over 3x4m2 and has three massive windows that provide the plant with more than enough indirect but bright light. However because half my room is window, the insulation SHOCKING (photo below) I’m going to add in a photo of my plant, if anyone could give me some tips they’d be greatly appreciated! This calathea is my first plant and I had no idea what I was in for 😭 (The last photo shows where my plant is positioned in my room)
