Hi, I just bought a monstera a few days ago and quite quickly noticed these brown dots / small holes on the plants largest leaf - any ideas what this could be and the best way to help?

To Allison. I have been spraying my plants with 1 T peroxide per 2 cups water. Most have been doing well. I had fungus on my morning glory and it seems cured. But recently my petunia has shriveled and is dying. Don’t know what it has.

My red wave petunias was doing beautifully and within one week it has shriveled up, wilted and is dying. I have been spraying it with hydrogen peroxide solution and watering regularly. Suggestions?

Hello, my alocasia isn’t doing too well, the new leaf died off as you can see in the photo. Will this come back to life and will that little node at the bottom produce anything? Or is the plant gone? Thank you!

Can anyone help me identify this fungus? A few of them sprung up under my potted baby monstera and more seem to be on the way

HELP!! How much hydrogen peroxide (to a gallon) should I use on my cape sundew seedlings for fungus gnats? I found fungus gnat larvae on my newly germinated seedlings, this is my first time sewing seeds AND my first encounter with pests… so im a little stressed. Ive seen mixed recommendations on H202/water ratios for seedlings and larvae, so any help is appreciated! For now though it seems that all of the adult gnats have been taken care of via the mother sundew.

I just discovered these mushrooms growing in my Inchplant, are they bad? Should I remove? No idea how they got in the soil.

Alright folks, this one stem on my Pothos is being dramatic. It’s a short vine but the last three leaves have been smaller and more yellow. One of them even turned black on the tip while it was unfurling and now it looks like.. that. And I’m worried that it’s also going to happen to my next leaf. The stem in the area is also very thick and yellow. What is he doing 🧍‍♀️

Please help! I just got this baby monstera less than a month ago and I’ve had two yellow leaves pop up and his new leaves are coming in damaged and with brown crusties :/ I don’t see any pests and I’m not over/ under watering I don’t think! I let the top of the soil dry out to about 1-2 inches before watering, so far I’ve only watered I think 2 times and fertilized once since having him

Can someone confirm if I just bought a bunch of cuttings with root rot? A plant shop was celebrating their birthday and you could get a handful of cuttings for a few bucks, but as I’ve been watching them the last few days I feel the roots are too dark and they might be rot? Plus one of the painted lady leaves turned yellow and fell off. They’ve been sitting in water. I think I see small white roots growing on some of the plants, but I’m wondering and worried if the darker roots are rot and is there anyway to save these cuttings? The first pic has some weird floating stuff in the container that had the painted lady whose leaf fell off.

Help with my monstera and micans 🥺 I got them about a month ago and I’m not sure if they had these spots then. There are about 1 feet away from a south facing window and they get very minimal direct sunlight but are in a very bright place. I water them when my moisture meter says so and only do bottom water with tap water. Any tips?

Is there a way for this to recover or is it basically lost? Thank you
