Noticed some tiny brown spots on a couple of my philodendron birken's leaves this morning. I found an old reddit thread that suggested it's fungus — never had a fungus issue yet so any tips on confirming the diagnosis & how to treat would be appreciated! I love this guy so hopefully he can bounce back. It's not on all the leaves, is more present on some than others, and hasn't impacted new growth (he puts out a new leaf pretty much constantly)
ANYTHING to save this????? PLEASE help!!!
I have mealy bugs on my lemon tree what is the best pest solution for mealy bugs
What type of pest is that? They move fast and they are on my plant leaves especially on the new leaves and they are all curling because of them it’s been months I treat them and they always come back. I tought it was thrips but I just wanna make sure if its not something else?
I got this flame violet from someone, it looked healthy when I got it and within a week the leaves started browning, I don't have much natural lighting in my apartment so I got some grow lights, thinking maybe it wasn't getting enough light, the soil seems a normal wetness. Anyone have any idea why the leaves are browning and what I can do to make it healthy again?
Am I crazy, or is this a mushroom growing in my monstera?
I’ve never had this happen before but a lot of my plants have this greenish white stuff on top of the soil and one of my pothos grew an actual mushroom. Is this fungus? Is it from my house being humid?
What is this on the under side of my monsteras leaves? When I rub it it’s like a powder.
My fire flash started struggling about 2 weeks ago. I am battling gnats and have cut down the issue significantly, however, I’m worried about why she’s black on the stems and not as full as she was a couple weeks ago. I started using filtered water for her, but she was getting tap water. She is in a Mom Pot and has a drainage hole. She is under a grow light, as my windows are west facing and will definitely scorch her. Any guidance/help is greatly appreciated!
So my pumpkin plant has a vertical crack in it and I’m wondering if this could harm the vine and there is also a pumpkin growing on this vine let me know if I should be worried or if there is anything I can do
Can anyone help me identify what’s going on with my yellow gem ficus??
queen violet is blooming but she has this powdery, sand like white stuff on her leaves and I just want to make sure it’s not a sign of something very bad!
What do I do to make her look better? 😵💫 I’ve never used a moss pole and tried to tie her on one but I have leaves going in every direction and some are backwards. I have a few leaves folded over on itself and one flimsy sun damaged leaf. It looks pitiful
Just got this tiny alocasia melo the other day, it has new growth coming in but its leaf has started dying off which usually I dont question when my alocasias get new growth, but this one seems to be yellowing, is this normal or should I be worried?
What are these bugs?? Sorry for the super blurry photo but I don’t really want to touch my plant right now… I repotted my nerve plant a few days ago and saw some of these long white-ish bugs crawling around deep in the soil, gave it a quick rinse (just water) and put it in the new pot with a big spray of neem oil. Checked back in today and now there are a bunch of them crawling around the surface, and I have no idea what they are or what to do with it now.
I keep on finding bugs that look like aphids on my plants but I have only seen one or two on 3 plants. I don’t know if they’re aphids though because I thought you should be able to see more of them. My plants don’t look like anything has eaten them. What do you think it is and how can I fix?
Does anyone know how to grow roots on a pine sapling? Also what is the best way to treat spider mites? I’ve sprayed with insecticide for today and yesterday
Both these plants have started to get quite yellow (pulled off a few of the bad leaves) - they’ve had enough water and have removed them from direct sunlight - what can I do?
Please help!!! Most of my plants are severely drooping, and they have these black splotches on them; even when the soil is wet. My tomato is covered in yellow fungus, and my flowers are droopy, pale and crunchy. Is there any possible way to help them?
My spider plant got a little too much direct sun and has been slowly declining in health ever since. I moved it and repotted it, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. Any advice? Should I trim off the blackened/browning parts? This plant is special to me, I want to do everything I can to save it.
