I have my nanouk and zebrina potted together. The nanouk is staying perfectly pink, but the zebrina is loosing its purple. It was bright purple till the last week or two. It’s under a grow light, 12 hours. Is that too much light? I thought more light, the brighter color for these?

I’m assuming this might not be an issue but just in case I want to get ahead of it. Is this yellowing a sign of anything? No pests spotted besides the normal mosquito and beetles. If beetles are an issue I do have a photo of one that I found chilling on my other plants. Looked harmless. Left is my bush beans I want insight on: The right is just the bug on one of my other plants

Hi everyone, this is my aloe plant I’ve head it for about a month now and it’s been transplanted for about as long. Recently I noticed these little white specks appearing in its soil. I’m worried it’s mold from accidental overwatering but I’m truly not sure what it really is. Advice would be appreciated!

Hi friends! My plant for a bit has been getting little spots like this and then some of the leaves are shriveling up. I can’t tell if this is because it wants more sunlight or not?? That’s my only guess. Any ideas?

These mites have spread to 3 of my outdoor plants! So mad! Starting treatment 😑 they’ve spread really fast and are everywhere! Even when I came inside after being out for a while, they were all over my shoes. I’ve started to take off my shoes before coming inside because I don’t want to spread them to my indoor plants.

My birkin has been pushing out so much new growth but they are ALL completely white, which turn brown and die off. Does anyone know what to do to get it to push out some green leaves again??

So I am moving. I took all my plants to a friends house to be taken care of during the process (a little over a week). And now my mini rose is turning yellow. It was a little pale when I got it a couple of days ago and now they are full yellow. Does anyone know what is wrong and how I can help it? It’s sitting on the back porch currently. Morning sun and afternoon shade. I am watering it as soon as the soil looks dry and I am using a moisture meter to make sure the lower dirt is getting dry before watering again. Roughly every 3 - 4 days.

I’m a new plant owner. I just got my cactus about a month ago, and I only water it once a week. Anyone who knows anything about cacti know if I’m doing anything wrong?

This was a gift for Mother’s Day last year it’s a Cebu Blue pathos and she started loosing leaves when I moved her because of renovations, she never stopped loosing leaves ugh I’m so sad, 😔 is this a hopeless cause ? I don’t see any new growth or nodules on any of the stems. I’ve been keeping up with the watering because I’m hopeful, She did have a few leaves and I saved some because I was scared. The whole plant would die.

Please help This was a peace lily and even flowered last year. I had to move her location because we’re in the middle of renovations. I water her every eight days. The bottom soil feels damp, but the first few inches are dry, but I’m wondering if I should repot her into a smaller pot and just keep trying because there is one little growth I noticed. Is this hopeless I hate to throw her out.

My basil leaves are staying kind of folded like a taco even though I think it’s getting plenty of water, and the bottom leaves are turning a whitish-yellow color:/ I have no idea what this means, please help!

Accidentally left my snake plant outside yesterday, when I came back this morning it was flipped upside down and the leaves are all black. Is it sun damage or what? I’ve now put it inside and watered it. Is this salvageable or is it dead?

Hello! Some of my plants seem to have issues and I’m not sure how to fix it! Any advice?? In this there is sea lavender, lemon grass, snow peas, and forget me not flowers! Also, what’s y’all’s advice for when it’s rains heavy for the plants? What’s the best way to prevent root rot?

This is Jack. He is a bunch of wildflower packets thrown in and he is growing beautifully, imo. However, today, I noticed that he has friends. At first I thought it were caterpillars but I am not sure...should I be worried?
