Hi everyone! Bell Pepper - Can someone please help me identify what pests these are?? Anyone have recommendations to help my bell pepper out?? She stays in my greenhouse outside and just showed up with all these bugs on it. I know there are aphids on it but I have no idea what the dark spots are… I got ladybugs to help but they didn’t even touch the plant (released at night).
Help me revive my repotted wild lantana!! I had some lantana growing behind my house and decided to try growing it in a pot to try and attract butterflies to the property since my mom really wanted a little patio butterfly garden, but it isn’t doing so great in the pot. Here’s how it looks now vs. how it looked a week ago. I’m new to growing plants but have a decent working knowledge. I noticed when I was digging it up that the roots seem like they’re doing an underground runner thing, so I wonder if the pot was too crowded or something. The pot is 1 ft, plastic, with drainage and there are multiple plants in one pot. They grew close together in the wild so I figured it was okay. Planta said to place them full sun so I placed them facing south, but only after a day or so they started to wilt. At first I thought they were going into shock from the repotting, but I’m wondering if they got too much sun. It rained 2 inches over the weekend and that did nothing to help the withered parts of the plant. In fact, I think it made it worse. I moved it underneath the roof of my patio to give it some protection today, so hopefully that will give it some breathing room to recover. Is my plant oversunned or overwatered? Please let me know what else I can do to save this plant and make my mom happy :(
Does anyone know what this is?
How do I know the difference between spider mites and a spider that has just taken up residency in my plant?
URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE 😖!!! This is nearly two months apart, the health of my plant was already declining a little which i was never sure why since i watered him when i was supposed to. Recently i gave my plant to a friend for a 2 week period, and it seems i accidentally told her to water him too much, so he is now overwatered. So i am currently not watering him for a while (Before I would normally water him with Tap water and Baby Bio Houseplant food), but i need more help on how to make him happy again. I am desperate to revive his health, he is my one and only plant and it really upsets me. 😣😞
What's happening to my Peace Lily? It was all happy and thriving and suddenly this happened! Never overwatered it!
Hi guys, my golden pothos is doing great besides these two leaves. They are yellow, turning brown, and drooping. My plant is taking a long time to drain through the drainage holes, and it is on the window sill receiving direct sunlight throughout the day. It’s getting colder here so I might move away from the window. Any advice to keep it healthy?
Is this mold on my golden pothos? The roots are firm, no obvious rot, and were dry before I just added a little water and noticed. TIA!
I have this plant setup in one of my room. I just noticed, I have thrips. The infested plants were placed where the red dots are, but have now been treat (hose down and insecticidal soap) and are isolated away from the others. I’m also going to hang some yellow sticky traps. I’ve looked at the rest of the plants and haven’t noticed any thrips on them. But….my in-laws are visiting in a couple weeks and I really want get rid of the thrips as quickly/easily as possible. My question: should I treat them all or only if I see thrips on the other plants? Also, am I safe in assuming thrips aren’t really an issue for my carnivorous plants? TIA!
My Jacklyn isn’t doing too well and is constantly getting spider mites. Should I chop it down? Would it grow back?
Hi! Just wondering if anyone knows what could be happening to my golden pothos, it can’t be overwatering because honestly, most of the time I even forget to water it…. Could it be too much direct sunlight? I have it on a south facing window sill, it gets a lot of direct sunlight.
Hi Planta friends. I think this flamingo lily may be overwatered. It lives outside and has thrived all through the summer but now-not so much. Plants says it’s overwatered but we have a huge rain deficit rn so I’m not so sure. This weird powdery moldy stuff is on some of the backs of the leaves, this one shown being the worst. Anyone have any advice? TIA
Hello! My friend has been really sick for a couple of week(s) and sadly have not had the energy to water her, my friend is now more lively and today watered her but what else can we do to her recovery? Pruning, light, whatever helps!

Help! I need tips on treating powdery mildew on my Flaming Katy. Never come across it before and I’ve not got a clue! Planta AI has diagnosed and made recommendations but want real life tips please!
Oh my God, you guys please help ASAP. What are these do I need to burn it?
I misted my peperomia plant today and notice tiny webbing. Would these be considered spider mites? I did find a tiny baby spider in my room yesterday so I'm not sure if these are spider mites. Needless to say my plants will be getting sprayed with neem oil or something now
This is my fig plant. What is causing the dark brown areas on the leaves? It’s been on my patio all summer & done great until now.
Can anyone help me identify this? Not sure if it's mold or bugs? It looks more yellow than white to the eye. First pic is under my grow light second is natural
Hey everyone! First time plant mom here, and I am a little nervous about my stonecrop! I have noticed some wilting and possible rotting? No weird smells though. Any ideas on how to treat this or changes that could be made?
