okay, so basically, my pink princess has these tiny dry spots on some of its leaves (has had them since i got her). the spots arenât in clusters or anything so i assumed that they might just be spots from experiencing stress in shipping? but i was looking at my other plants (a pitcher plant, venus flytrap, and pothos) and they also have single, tiny spots like this on some of their leaves.
my pink princess is also pushing out a new leaf right now that seems to have black spots on it. my initial guess was that i gave that stem too much moisture and it led to tiny areas of rot (i was misting this stem because i was worried about the new leaf getting stuck). but now iâm getting paranoid about a fungal infection going aroundâŠ
my plants are in good shape right nowâno dying leaves or wilting, just these tiny spots. but iâm still really nervous. should i get fungicide?

For the life of me I can not keep this baby happy! I had her part sun, outdoors, when I first got her and she curled up and dropped all her leaves. I moved her to an even shadier spot, she started to have some growth good growth but was still getting dark spots on her leaves and getting eaten, so I brought her inside (west facing window, part sun. Window has a film so no direct light) where sheâs been for a month or two. She was looking like she was recovering good, had a new leaf coming up, then the other two leaves just curled up and died this past week. I have NO idea why Iâm so bad with this plant đ
Got her Sunday. Sheâs been fine and this morning sheâs like this????!

I realized a lot of my
Potted plant soil is garden soil not for potted plants. I have lightened a bunch of it with perlite, pebbles, coco coire but some plants are still not Bally, do I have to completely change kit the soil or perhaps just add more perlite to any dense looking ones?

Iâm a very nervous plant parent, so I check my guys for pests all the time. Today I stumbled upon some tiny black bugs on my arrowhead plant, as well as what appeared to be larvae inside one of the new leaves? Please suggest what to do! There does not appear to be any damage from them (sun damage to the plant previously) and Iâve taken off all I can see. If more show up Iâll add photos, but for the meantime, are there any suggestions?

Infested yucca! Help please đ
My yucca started dying a couple of months ago, and I noticed many small caterpillars on it and all around my apartment. Indeed there is a caterpillar cementery behind the yucca. Apparently they all go there to die(?) I donât know what to do bring back to life my baby :(

Hi everyone! Iâm a young plant parent and beyond watering and asking my plants to be okay please, Iâm fairly useless!
My aloe vera has a yellow and pungent inner sap part (i think itâs called mucilage). Itâs much bigger than any aloe vera iâve had in the past so wondering if itâs due to it being a particular variety? The mucilage is yellow and smells very unpleasant, and is stickier than my other aloesâ were. Does she have a disease or is just a different variety? Thank you x

I was checking on my monstera and found this. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Help! I cant figure out whatâs wrong with my BOP. i had it in my room before and i thought it was because my room was too cold so iâve had it outside for a week and the leaves still havenât uncurled. Is it a humidity problem??

Hello everyone, Iâm new to the plant world and received this beautiful split leaf philodendron the other day. With the brown leaves am I able to just remove them or is there a trick to it? I tried to do some research but I havenât found the browning in the location that mine is instead of on the leaves itself. I also am curious if I should report it, it looks like thereâs a plastic pot inside the outter one.
Thanks in advance (:

Its done this before but I repotted it and it was fine for a few months and now itâs shrivelling up again.
Also a different plant of mine currently has fungus gnats but I donât think this one has been affected?
Would appreciate any help! âșïž

Hello! Does anyone have any insight into how to help my plant? These spots started right around when the new leaf bloomed, so Iâm a bit stumped on how to proceed.
Would appreciate any guidance!

Hi everyone
Need some help with my monstera. Her name is Ellie.
I repotted her two weeks ago. But then the soil had gnats (I think thatâs what they are called). So I decided to repot her again.
I think she is dying because of all the stress but I donât know what to do to save herđ„ș

I have this colocasia Calidora elephant ear that has ONE (healthy) leaf that has been slowly turning yellow since I got it and is now full blown yellow. My thoughts were overwatering or root rot, but neither is true for the plant, plus every single other leaf and stem are healthy and it sprouted a new leaf just this week. Iâve had it for maybe 3 weeks. The first pic is the day I got it (spot the yellowed leaf pre-yellow in the bottom right), second pic is about a week ago, and the 3rd pic is today. Please help Iâm afraid Iâm killing it some weird new way
