Hey everyone! My pothos has these yellow-brownish spots. They’re not mushy, just a bit rough to the touch. Googling it only made me more confused since it can be so many different things. Hoping someone here can help me figure out what’s going on. I’m sure it’s something really simple. Some other details: -soil is wet and doesn’t smell funky -cannot see any pests but maybe I’m not looking hard enough -only water when the soil is completely dry. If planta asks me to, I snooze it! Thanks everyone!

Help!!! I’ve left this far too long, but my Echevaria Sally is growing extremely long… into the glass window. I’m assuming she needs more sun, but I don’t have anywhere sunnier to put her (and animals will definitely eat her outside). I’ve heard a couple things about grow lights? Does anyone have any other ideas / tips about how to fix this or make the plant grow up straighter?

HELP! Some of the leaves on mu aloe Vera are browning and shriveling up. It also looks like on those leaves, it looks folded a little. Any way to prevent this from happening or cure it? (I’ve pruned some of the bigger brown spots

SOS, help me save my white knight pup. She had two bigger leaves as well but I’m not sure if sitting in my windowsill burned her but the white parts seemed brown and transparent. I took her out of the cup I was using for humid because of the mold that’s forming but I have no idea what to do from here. Is there hope? it looks like the white on the leaf is suffering the same fate.

I have a basil plant and there are really small grayish spiders in the soil near the plant… is this okay?

Hello! I am using miracle gro succulent potting mix and what I’ve noticed happening is the soil dries up and contracts around the periphery of the pot (see photos). This causes the water to drain too fast and not soak the soil when watered. I just ordered Coast of Maine succulent potting soil to repot a Madagascar palm. Would you suggest repotting these plants with this new soil I ordered that doesn’t so this? Thank you!

Hello! New gardener here and need help. How do I get rid of pests from my blueberry bushes and other vegetable plants? I spray them with Neem oil occasionally but one blueberry pot seems to be getting infested with ants now too. Help please!

I will start by saying… I have taken on a lot and don’t really know what I’m doing. I have dogs vomit, orange slime mold, spider mites, witches broom on roses(according to Google, lol) I have a LARGE space. I don’t know what to do. I read that the fungus on mulch is ok, just ugly. I don’t want to lose everything I have because I am inexperienced and overwhelmed. Help PLEASEEEE!

In this episode of "Orchid mix from hell" we got a new update: not only does the soil I got from Amazon contain mushroom spores, I am now seeing an abundance of white worms in the roots of my blooming orchid. Please let me know if they're harmful or not, I'm just staring at it in terror because I know I can't repot now. Also bonus question, will the worms try to escape and live by my side, or will they at least just stay in the pot? It was funny at first when I saw a rogue mushroom poking out but this is quickly getting ridiculous. Thanks everyone!🧡

I wanted to ask if anyone knew exactly with this was, I was thinking it was build up but it looks a little weird to me, my waffle plant has been doing really good but I noticed this todayand I wanted to ask about if anybody knew

My Janet Craig is fairly new (about 3 weeks old) and it just seems to be getting worse. I have watered it 3 times (about once a week) and keep it relatively near a window (8-10 feet away). It said it wasn’t too dependent on light but here I am. Any recommendations on how to help it become more lively? Thank you.

Hello! I have a follow up treatment question for my bamboo please! First picture is a few days ago - I pulled off the yellow leaves and freshened the water, but today I realized the top little part is fully yellow and shriveling… second pic is today. Can it be saved or is it too late once it starts? Do I cut it with sanitized pruners and dip it in wax? Help please Thank you 🙏 🌱

Hello, I recently purchased an alocasia infernalis. It’s only been two days, and one of the leaves stem’s has browned, drooped, and brown spots have popped up around the edges. I have it under a grow light, have a pebble tray underneath it, have a humidifier in the room, and just watered it 2 days ago… it may just been stressed because it’s in a new environment, but wanted to see if there are some experienced alocasia people that might know how to help?

My Snake Plant has some yellowing on the outer leaves as well as I’ve noticed it starting to droop just a bit. I think it’s because I was giving it filtered well water. I’m now giving it purified water but I was wondering if it will ever go back to normal color and stand straight up again?

I've had this ficus benjamina tree for a couple years now. It's been struggling! I finally decided to repot it today. I'm not sure what else I can do for it.... do I prune it, leave it alone..... Also, I have very persistent cats 😒 that like dirt. They are now all of a sudden super interested in getting into this pot. Does anyone have suggestions on how to cover the top of pots so cats can't get in? I've tried to make a makeshift cover!! I've used netting before- but I have one cat that isn't stopped by much.
