Greetings, Newbie here. Sick African Violet which I repotted due to overwatering. Current status pic is one with the greened leaves. I admit that it seems I was a bit sloppy with the repotting, dirt fell on leaves and such and just discovered how I need to be careful not to get water on the leaves when watering. But now I’m concerned about thrips. I cannot distinguish dirt from thrips. I don’t see anything moving, but have seen what look like fruit flies flying around the plant. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I moved and probably put this in too much sun. It’s been moved to a new spot. Maybe overwatered. Any other suggestions?

Can someone please help me with this plant? I’ve moved it all around my house but it doesn’t seem to like any one spot. The leaves keep sprouting and dying. It previously had huge healthy leaves, but now looks leggy and small.

HELP. I propagated an elephant ear recently purchased from the hardware store. The mother looks pretty strong but some of my babies look sad. I’ve upped nutrition and placed closer to light. Any suggestions? Or is this just a sad prop?

Help with my mango please. This plant has been doing great! I repotted a month ago, all good. Then suddenly it started drooping, like it needed water, but water did not help. I noticed only the main stalk was drooping, while the lower one seemed fine. I was traveling for a few days, and now that I am home, the droopy leaves have dried up quite a bit. The lower stalk is ok (so far), and even the new growth on the main stalk has continued to grow. Did notice this white in several places. What do I do???? TIA

While I'm at it, plant experts. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong with my manjula pothos? It was also doing fine? Does it need more light than the average pothos? My leaves are yellowing and turning brown on the edges. 😭 I'm feeling like such a plant parent failure right now lol. Help?

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my Kerri Hoya? It was perfectly fine a couple weeks ago and then it slowly started dropping leaves. They'd get these brown spots all over almost like they were rotting? It's literally been fine for a while now. Hasn't been moved or anything. I don't want it to die 😭 I wanna save it before it's too late. Does anyone have any advice? Help please. It definitely used to be more green as well, like that top leaf... What am I doing wrong? Edit: Also everytime I try to water it, the water goes straight through. So I don't know what to do to combat that either?

Hello there plant experts! We are going on holidays for just over a week and are wondering how to prepare our plants for this period of absence, especially given the high temperatures in London these days. They are all doing well right now, but we had dead plants in the past when coming back from holidays and would like to prevent this from happening again. Should we water or fertilise the plants before leaving? Close de curtains or leave them open? Move the plants to a specific place in the home for optimal light? Any important advice? In our living room (bright indirect light): - Song of India dracaena - Philodendron - Jade Plant - Ficus Elastica - Sicklethorn - Chinese Money Plant - Zz Plant In our bathroom (less bright but still natural light): - Never never plant Thank you very much!

Hi 👋 I have recently started my plant journey and have been having an issue with little critters. I believe to be gnats. I have watered with peroxide, sprinkling cinnamon ontop after. I have sticky traps but they just seem to keep coming. I have also started bottom watering, I had read it'll keep the soil on top drier with less likely chances of the bugs being attacked to the damp soil. Advice welcome 🙏

Mosquitoes everywhere… I bought some plants online and repotted them in a cute plastic pot…. I was hesitant about bringing plants to my house because I have always heard that plants will bring insects to your house. Well now there are tiny tiny mosquitoes every time I move the plants . I sprayed insect killer for indoor plants and still those mosquitoes did not go away. They came back a week after spraying the plants. And it looks like the plants did not like it. They became some yellow and some with brown tips … Please help!

Hello! I bought this plant today. The sticker said it was a split leaf philodendron but from what I’ve gathered on this app it’s a monstera deliciosa. One leaf has a big brown tip, it is brown and dry. There are two other small leaves where the tips appearing to start to do the same. Top soil is dry, is it dry about half way down and bottom half is cool and slightly slightly damp. The lady at the store said to repot in a month and water when top soil had been dry for a couple days. Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong? If so do you have any advice on how to fix it? Thank you so much!!

We planted this red star spike about 4 weeks ago from a 5 gallon pot. We used succulent soil and the proper amount of liquid fertilizer designed for transplanting. She’s looking pretty crispy lately. Soil testing low moisture. Any ideas that can help her?

Anyone know what this is? I’ve noticed it pop up on multiple outdoor succulents.

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?! I only saw one and he was dead. the plant is in the best shape of its life. the only slightly suspicious activity is this white, salt like stuff on it (it’s right below a crack in the ceiling so I think that’s what it’s from) do I need to go into panic mode?
