Does anyone know what these are? The look like fruit flies and are not bothering my plants/leaves, they just seem to live in the soil. I tried insecticidal soap and that really didn’t do much. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

okay so i repotted and trellised one of my hoyas last night. it had pretty good roots, no rot, that filled out a 6inch nursery pot, so i went up to a 7inch since they like to be root bound a little. i woke up this morning and some of the leaves are floppy but i’m sure this is just from transplant shock. all the stems are deep in the mix the same amount as they were in the previous pot with no problems. soil mix is all equal parts orchid mix, perlite, and potting mix. i’m hoping that will be okay for it? took me a while to figure out how to trellis it, and i don’t want to have to cut one of the large stems to propagate several cuttings. is there hope it will make a recovery?

Golden Pathos? Correct me if not. Propagated the biggest leaf that’s now growing a brown spot. It’s always been yellow since propagating. Should I cut this leaf off including stem? Any recommendations on soil or fertilizer? Also at the very tips of the leafs little water drops are collecting. I just watered it yesterday. Is this a sign of over watering?

How is my plant doing? Looks like it keeps getting yellow spots. I cut off a brown part on the second bottom leaf. Should I completely cut off that leaf? I just repot this plant to a bigger pot but it was already having this issues before. I believe this plant is a Philodendron Xanadu. Correct me if wrong. <3

Should I pull off these flower vines? Or keep them? My plant is a Echeveria hybrid “sleepy”

Ні, My schefflera has been unwell for some weeks now but I just can't seem to figure out what's wrong with her. Her growth has stopped and every so often one of her leaves will begin to turn brown and then drop off. I initially thought the issue pertained to a lack of sunlight, so I've moved her slightly closer to the window but it's made no difference; she's still dropping leaves and isn't regrowing anything, nor have her youngest leaves at the top grown to full size. Can anyone offer any advice as to what the issue is and how I might fix it? Thanks if so.

Ok, I’ve already removed them, used a hydrogen peroxide/water mixture, sprayed the leaves with an antibacterial soapy mixture, and then dusted the soil with cinnamon, but does anyone know what this is? I thought spider mites, but I’ve never had them on my plants before so I have no idea, and it’s only on one leaf of my Alocasia frydek. 😅 Thanks!

What’s going on with my golden pothos? The leaf got yellow like that after I put it on my window sill all day. It never was full on sun, mostly shade. The browned leaf happened about 3 weeks ago, and this morning I noticed that 2 leaves had holes/chewed through! I don’t see any bugs or fungus, what do you think I should do/what’s going on?

Hey guys, I got this crown of thorns around 2 weeks ago, and I’m not sure why these leaves are yellowing. I also found this out of the drainage holes. Any ideas on what’s going on?

Help! I watered my pothos and saw this in the dirt. Plant seems to be healthy except for the new leaves looking a bit brown. Any ideas? Mold? Pests? I’m new to this haha

So, I just repotted a bunch of plants and for some reason a few of them seem to have gotten mold on the top. I would have guessed it was the soil except none of the ones with mold were from the same batch/bag of soil. Anyone know why this is happening or know of a way to prevent/deal with the problem?

Is there any saving my wilted wheatgrass? I think it's been overwatered. Does it need more light? East facing window gives direct sunlight in the morning with indirect sunlight from north facing window all day.

Hey all! I have this plant in my classroom that’s struggling quite a bit. Any advice to help it?

Problems with Fig plant Hi, I’ve had this fig plant for a few morning months and noticed is not doing very well in the last month or 2. There are white spots on the leafs, breakage and it just doesn’t look shiny anymore. I moved it to a place with more light and today I added water with miracle grow plant food. Does anybody know if I need to be doing something differently? Thanks you!

My friend bought me this Neanthe Bella about two years ago and she was thriving!! She was green and fluffy but I did start to notice some of her roots were coming above the soil. It looked like I needed to add more soil if that makes sense? I moved at the end of May and she went down hill from there. All my other plants did great with the move. I have researched a bunch and ended up repotting her. I removed some of the dried out (appeared to be dead?) limbs and am now just being patient to see what happens next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! I also took what appeared to be a few live roots and repotted those in another planter. Fingers are crossed as this was a special plant during a special time. Thanks in advance!!

Hey everybody Had my white princess (philodendron) for about a month. The white leaves have started to brown/curl. I’ve heard this is normal but unsure what to do with them. Do I just let them die? Do I cut them off? Or am I doing something wrong? Advice much appreciated. She is one of my favourites!

Hi all! My Monstera grew a new leaf but it grew in brown. It’s still curled up and the stem looks a bit yellow. Should I just cut the leaf or the whole stem?
Woo hoo PLANTSSSSS
Ok, so I got this heartleaf philodendron and I am a little worried about it. It’s leaves are starting to brown in certain areas and become droopy. I watered it, but not too much, and repotted it so the roots wouldn’t get cramped in the plastic (they were). It’s only been two days. Can someone please help me? 😭

Bird of paradise wasn’t looking too hot so i decided to have a look inside the pot. Y’all what is this?? Is the white stuff mold?? I repotted her in a larger container after cleaning the roots completely. Is there anything else I should do or trust that I did enough? Also what are more reputable plant shops because I just got this sucker from sam’s club lol.
