Looking for some insight. I’ve had this little greenhouse under a grow light and everything inside has been happy here for months. Now in the last few days everything is looking terrible- the string of pearls has mushy looking pearls, the sedum is getting weird spots and parts are falling off, the Chinese money plant leaves are curling and yellowing… I’ve changed nothing about this set up since I put it all together. I keep the door open so it isn’t too humid inside. I make sure things actually need watered before watering. Any ideas on what is going on?

Sorry I didn’t get pictures but two separate times I watered my calathea, 1 or 2 dead millipedes fell out the bottom of the pot. Is this a bad sign? What should I do? I did buy it from a green house and it was on the floor so I guessed they had just crawled into the bottom and died. But I could be wrong.

Does anyone know what this white powder is on my paddle plant? For a while I’ve just thought it was the natural color but it wipes off when I touch it so I’m second guessing myself.

I just watered my monstera to find several baby centipedes scatter across the soil! Any way I can get rid of them by avoiding a repot?? Please help!!

Can someone help me figure out what’s going on with my aralia 😭 it was fine on Friday

I’m having a terrible fungus gnat problem and i just know the best to get rid of them is to change out all of my soil. this is what i get for trying to go cheap on my soil 😬 anybody have any recommendations on a soil mix or certain brands to make my own mixture at home that won’t cause fungus gnats?

Help!! My birds of paradise has never had any problems until this spring when the leaves started to curl up and get brown around the edges. I repotted it in June (same size pot as before just different design) What do I do!? (Pics of the roots are from where I repotted it)

Should I cut off leaves that are infected? It’s a money tree.

I have a money tree. I learned on this app that I should water it once a week. Water it until you see the water draining at the bottom of the pot. I have been doing that because my leaves have been turning yellow when I was thought I was under watering it. Either way it hasn’t died but has grown huge but I want to figure out the yellowing of the plant. Any help would be great since I am really a new plant owner since dec 2023

I re potted my plant a couple days Ago and she looks so sad. I don’t want her to die. Can anyone help? Is the pot too big? Or did I do something wrong?

I believe this is from overwatering at the supermarket. Can I clip this out? Or should I leave it there and pay attention if it grows?

Hey! Just got and planted these basil plants but they are drooping. Any tips on what to do? I’m new to gardening so I’m not sure what’s wrong.

Hey guys, hope yall are having a wonderful day! I was just wondering if someone could help this plant noobie figure out what went wrong with wrong with my global green pothos. I took multiple cuttings from the same vine and put them in water. Kept some in the water and put some in soil. The ones in water are fine. Not growing lot with the roots but the leaves look gorgeous and healthy but the ones in soil look like she’s struggling. One leaf can’t support its weight, others have bits missing, there are plenty of brown spots. I don’t know what I’m looking for when it comes to pests or root issues. I took the cuttings out of soil and put it back in water to see if she can pull it off and survive. For reference, I have a basil, golden pothos, marble queen pothos, pearls & jade pothos, and the global green. All of them are in terracotta pots on the windowsill of an east facing window. I have attached pictures below, can yall see anything I’m missing? Any advice? Thanks!

Hi Planta Peeps: Here is this beautiful praying plant and I stopped moving it daily outside because I was told I could be stressing it but the leaves are still burning and curling more and more. 😭💔 I also changed the fertilizer to a gentle organic one (pellets, slow release). It does have two new leaves coming in, YAY! Anything else I should do?

Hi Plantas Peeps: I have this beautiful Calathea, for the most part I this it’s doing great! But I’m checking it out and found the new shoots are not shooting up and just drying out underneath the top beautiful leaves, any suggestions?

It’s been raining a lot recently where I live. I went outside yesterday during a break in the rain and saw that I have a ton of small orange / orange-brown mushrooms popping up all over my grass. Does anyone know what these are and if I should be worried about getting rid of them or not? And if so, how do you remove these?

I have tiny flying bugs all over. I have tried neem oil so far. Will be trying Diatomaceous earth soon. Would it hurt my plants if I took everyone outside, repotted them into fresh soil and then fog the house to mitigate the bugs in the house?

3 weeks, no mealy bugs. Plant and soil both treated. Think it's safe to take her out of quarantine?

My Calathea Rattlesnake hasn’t been doing so hot lately. Her leaves are getting crispy at the edges and I’m not quite sure how to fix this problem. I have a plant humidifier, but I’m not sure if it’s useful or not. She has put out a couple new leaves recently, and it’s just some of the older ones are slightly browning. Any ideas?
