My beloved string of turtles is being taken over by aphids š© Iāve been waging war on them for going on two months, using a combination of diluted neem oil (full strength kills my plants) and physically plucking the buggers off my plant with tweezers. I was away for a week and theyāve come back with a vengeance, eating most new growth near the roots and causing bigger leaves to fall off. Does anyone have any tips for getting rid of these pests for good?
so ever since i got my marble queen iāve had issues but the big one is no matter what almost every single leave is torn and idk why
Hi plant people! Any idea what would cause these spots on my ghost plant? Itās hard, not soft or fuzzy. Itās almost feels like a scar, but the plant hasnāt been damaged. Thanks in advance! š
Help! I canāt keep parlor palms alive. My husband loves them so I keep trying but this thing is drying out like crazy!I put it outside for the summer and it did amazing. As soon as I brought it in, it started drying out. Iām watering it correctly. Itās in medium bright light away from a window but close to a grow light. The humidity in the house is great and last winter I literally had it a foot away from the humidifier and it was still doing this. Itās temporarily hanging out in the bathroom until I can figure it out. Any thoughts?
My monstera has been doing really well since I got her two months ago. Sheās now growing her third new leaf but I see these spots on it. Does anyone know what this is?
Hoya unhappy! I recently repotted her from a terracotta pot that I placed in this hanging basket to see if she liked the location, and she did fine. After repotting, sheās struggling. The basket has a coco liner and soil, thatās it. Do I need something else to help retain moisture maybe? She gets morning light in this location.
Black spot on one of my monstera leaves , anybody got any idea why? and how i could get rid of it? many thanks
I just got myself a majesty palm from my local Home Depot, i know theyāre absolute spider mite magnets. I believe sheās healthy right now and in quarantine for a week, but is there any advice yāall have to avoid spider mites?
Can someone help me figure out what this is? This leaf is just now opening and I see all these tiny spots. I have a fungus gnat issue Iām trying to battle, is this from them?

Help - family member bought us a fiddle leaf for housewarming. I know theyāre a bit harder to take care of and have researched. However, cannot figure out what this is, or how to go about it? Thanks in advance, any advice is helpful!
Got this giant aloe from my Mom.. I loved how big it was, but it was an eye sore to say the least.. leaning over one side of the pot (which I couldnāt take) with lower stems drooping down and oozing. I feel as if it has been sitting in water.. had root rot. Hopefully Iāve saved it enough to where it can become healthy again. It does have some bright new starts coming thru the middle, & had a patch of babies I separated into another pot.
I have a sugar cane jujube in the backyard, and itās looking a bit worse for wear. It it the temperature? Or is it whatever is eating the leaves? Photos: A cutting from the plant

Does anyone know what these milli worms are and how to treat them?
Hi all! Does anyone have any experience with these Amblyforce packets? I see little mites in the soil of a few plants but no issues with them at all so Iām just wondering if itās the beneficial mites I see. My instinct was to spray with neem right away but if thereās no problem then i donāt want to kill them if I donāt need to š¤·š»āāļø
hey so iāve had a pilea for about 3 years and heās started looking a little unhappy, mainly leggy and not keeping his bottom leaves for long, i think it could be lack of sun because heās in a north east window but earlier on i had him in a south window and he seemed to be getting burnt, there was also an incident lately where i used the wrong soil for repotting and all of my plants were in bad soil that didnāt dry for about two weeks so he had to get repotted twice but he hasnāt really changed too much except he lost about 3 leaves, i apologize for referring to him as a person lol but hereās pictures the first is before the repotting incident and the second is about a week after it (i was also away for three weeks and my mom was in charge of the plants and didnāt rotate him so thatās y heās a bit bendy lol)
