. Just met my first mealy bug EVER! It was hiding in the armpit of one of my propagates and plopped straight into the water—lucky for me, otherwise it would’ve stayed undercover. I’ve armed all my houseplants with household systemic defenses and unleashed a 1:1 spray combo of 91% isopropyl alcohol and water, with a few drops of Dawn dish soap for good measure. Rinse and repeat over the next few weeks… mealy bugs, consider this your eviction notice. I’ve got this!
Repotted all of my plants about 2 weeks ago. I gave my plants water with the repotting, and this one plant has had none of the water! The soil is still completely wet even though the pot has drainage and it’s even starting to mold on top! However, even though the plant isn’t drinking any water, it still appears to be super happy and healthy. What’s more strange is that I live in dry Colorado where things dry out very quickly! Any ideas on what’s going on and what I should do?
Can y’all help me figure out what wrong with my monstera flame.
My pilea is losing leaves!! At first I thought the old ones were just dying off but this perfectly healthy leaf started turning down/black and fell off from barely touching it. What's wrong with it? The soil is kinda moist still after almost a week of me changing the soil and watering it. Help!!
I have such a hard time with my monsteras! They’re all leggy - yes, not the right sunlight. But they always just have one long blanch. There’s never a grouping of off shoots. How do you have it procreate? Will a sunlight lamp help save my plants?? Thank you!!!
My Algerian Ivy did NOT like the light in this western direct light sunroom. I moved it this morning to a spot that is about 8’ from western light. Hoping it does better here. Pic on left when it was new, pic on right is from this morning after I moved it. I water it every week and fertilize it every second week. Any suggestions? Should I cut it back? Help please!
Is this just too dry? Just keeps losing leaves😢
good morning! all of the lower leaves on my ficus are becoming limp and falling off. why?
what are these little spikes coming up from the soil of my dragon tree? its been a little dead recently but i havent known why.
I have had this plant for 9 months. I repotted it because he grew out of the smaller pot. He isn’t doing the best anymore. I don’t know what to do. Help please Here’s a before and after picture
I was gifted these Alocasias. They’re beautiful. However they came with a secondary gift. Spider mites. I know how to get rid of them so that’s all fine, my question for everyone is do you let the person you got them from know that they have spider mites? It’s someone that isn’t super into plants and I’m not sure how to politely be like “hey girl, ya got pests” without it sounding offensive
What is this yellow stuff??
My otherwise healthy plant has recently been losing leaves that look like this. The new smaller leaves also have a reddish tint to them. Any ideas or thoughts on what could be happening are welcome!
I need help! I posted a month ago about my plant and was told to get a smaller pot which I did…. But I don’t know if my plant is still alive or not. The original pot was too big and my plant was over watered and dropped its leaves really fast. The last 4 leaves dropped/died but are still hanging on to the plant… the first picture was a month ago when I repotted. The others are from it currently… and I’ve cut back on watering and it’s got a light for 12 hours a day…. is my plant still alive?
whats wrong with my golden pothos
hoping to have someone help my bf out with whatever is going on with this pallidiflorum; i’m not versed in anthuriums and this is his first. thanks!
Does my peppermint plant look like it is doing good and healthy?
I have a Chinese sweet plum bonsai. Currently the growth is very erratic and not able to control its growth. It shed all the leaves from main structure and now big shoots coming up with no structure. I stopped pruning as I read somewhere that sheding of leaf can be because of the shock from pruning. Any help on how to take care of this bonsai and bring it back to it's natural canopy is highly appreciated.
How. This plant pot is 20cm in diameter, and that's being generous with measuring. I've had my white princess in it (doing amazing, by the way) for FOUR MONTHS. IN A CLEAR POT. HOW DID THIS MAN GET IN THERE? That's no even the most baffling question, how did he survive for half a year in a pot this small. Mind blown. Good morning.
I recently brought my peace lily inside. Changed the soil, and the pot. However, I noticed that some of the leaves are starting to curl and there are bright green veins on some of the leaves. Does anyone know why this would be happening and what I can do to help it?
