Ok folks. This is a newly found problem on one of my two huge strawberries and cream peonies. Is this tobacco rattle virus 🫣⁉️ I am really afraid it is a virus. 🥺 ripping out this peony is going to be heart breaking. Any thoughts or knowledge on concerns for treating the ground around this plant? Are beneficial nematodes a good idea in these cases?

Anyone know what causes gashes in the leaves of a zebra plant? I’m very new to plant parenthood and my little zebra plant has lost a lot of its larger leaves due to what looks like some sort of disease. It has new growth, so I’m not concerned about it trying to die off, but I do want to figure out what’s going on. Here are pics of what the diseased part looks like starting out and what it grows into before losing the leaf.

Does anyone have as true solution to spider mites? I have an acacia palm that has gotten them twice while all my other plants are safe. I reluctantly chopped the whole thing down the first time and really don’t wanna do that again. My goal is to never see them again so please help!!

I’ve started noticing every time I water my monstera these tiny little white fellas start crawling around all over the place. They’re not in the leaves or anywhere else that I can find and only come out when watering. Any clue what they are?

My mom accidentally bumped into my Hosta Plantain Lily Elegans, and a leaf snapped off very cleanly at the stem. Is there any way I can propagate the leaf? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just got this moonshine rubber plant. I’m not sure if these leaves are normal or not. They’re like a red/pink color on top. I dont know if that’s. just hour younger new leaves look before they harden or if I was given a weird plant lol any advice would be great

My Epipremnum Pinnatum has curled all his leaves up. I thought maybe I had overwatered but when I repotted him last week his roots were dry. I live in a super dry climate so maybe I should be misting but my Fiddle Leaf fig is thriving without. Thoughts?

My money tree had a branch that was rotten all the way down. I removed it but still have fungus gnats and have treated with nematodes. Question- what is going on with the leaves???

Hi! What is the best way to use nematodes for fungus gnats? I bought some but the instructions aren’t clear. Do I sprinkle them on the soil and then water? Do I keep watering for three days?

This year is the first time I’ve ever seen these little bugs and I was plucking them off the leaves of my plants like crazy. Then I discovered that they actually eat aphids and spider mites and other pests, but they don’t tend to chew on plants. So if you see these little guys running around on your outdoor plants, don’t get rid of them they’re helping you!

Hello! I bought this mature rubber plant a week ago from the sale section, the rest of the plant seems fairly healthy, my question is regarding these crispy tips. Would you cut the whole leaf off? Or trim just the crispy bits off? I’d usually happily whip crispy leaves off my smaller plants but if I did this on this plant it would be half naked. Appreciate any helpful thoughts!

My white fusion calathea suddenly looks like this... The soil is damp from watering it a few days ago and it turned to this in that time. Is it possible that it got too much light? It's been happy in the spot I've had it but I could see it becoming too bright there on an especially sunny day. Do we think there's any coming back from this for it?
