HELP I found what I think was a spider mite on my newest plant, I’ve sprayed and wiped down the leaves with neem oil twice (and put the plant in time out lol) how can I fix this? I don’t want to toss it :(

the bottom leaf keeps yellowing as each top leaf grows in. I’ve heard this is a normal cycle, is that true? or is this something I can help

Just got this plant at a farmers market a few weeks ago. One of the leaves started getting a yellow patch and dropping :( any tips on how to help him? the lady said to put it in a windowsill and let completely dry between watering. let me know if I should be doing something different. thanks!

i recently got this string of turtles and im not sure what im doing wrong 😭 hes been in the same pot since i repotted him, he currently lives in the upper pot of a two tier hanging pot which was recently lowered since i thought he wasnt getting enough light? but he also has a grow light which im not sure is helping him but the rest of my plants in that area love it i follow the planta schedule usually for watering but watch his soil too so i dont think hes being overwatered? his one strand looks okay but i think is dying is there anything i can do to save him? 😭

I just repotted my snake plants and this happened to the leaves almost immediately. Are they goners or will their color come back? I did not water bc the soil they were in kept them too moist. Any suggestions or thoughts appreciated.

I NEED HELP I got this really big golden pothos, and it is my favorite plant, I love it so much, and when I got it, it was fine— but l've had her for about two weeks and her leaves are turning yellow and then brown. I hadn't watered her for two weeks so I thought she just needed some water and food, so I did, and trimmed her up a bit, even asked a friend why and they said to give her more light, so I have, but it hasn't worked and it getting progressively worse by the hour and I have no idea what's wrong or what to do, and I'm worried I can't save her ☹️ (It looks worse irl and it's nighttime)

Help! I was watering my plants today and I noticed this about my cactus? I just watered it for the first time in a month like 2 days ago. What could be wrong? Also it doesn’t have drainage holes so I’m thinking it’s that? But it’s been in the same pot for a while so maybe I need to repot it? Idk help plsss

Why is my plant getting mites all of a sudden after repotting and how do I get rid of them

i’ve had this plant for about 2 months now and it’s been growing great but all of a sudden these leaves are turning brown :( help

Is this whitefly damage? This is my variegated sea hibiscus/mahoe. He is the love of my collection and the bane of my life. He has had whiteflies all summer. I’ve been managing them, but in the last two days he’s had a ton of leaves turn suddenly yellow (see pic) and developed this brown pattern on others (first pic). Does it look like whitefly damage? Some context. For whiteflies, I’ve: -treated with neem oil -grown marigolds -washed him frequently Nothing has eradicated them, but I’ve managed the numbers. Weeks when I can’t mitigate he’s gotten a few yellow leaves but leaves stop turning yellow when I’ve gotten their numbers down. Other problems he has had: -out growing his pot. I repotted him twice this year because he’s had two fits of bad health and I suspected root rot. Both times they were super healthy but he was root bound badly. He’s taken off after I’ve repotted him both times -being nutrient deficient. The nursery recommend 6-12-6 fertilizer last time he had a bad spell, but I was repotting him anyway, so I just chose really good soil -being too dry (he needs water twice a day during Texas summers) -being too wet. Jury is out on this one but with our 50-90 degree weather he’s been staying wetter and seemed over watered at the pre-set once a day timing. He could now be too dry again though the soil seems fine. Bonus question: both the latest white fly treatment (pryerthin) and the 6-12-6 fertilizer is 1 diluted gallon to 1,000 acres. How am I supposed to scale that to a single bonsai? I can’t seem to find more reasonably measured products. If he wasn’t so sentimental, I wouldn’t be so desperate, but he is and the nursery sold off the mother plant (he is my second attempt) he is from so any help is greatly appreciated. The purple pot is when I got him last October and the second one is him a few weeks ago.

Hello - my Pothos was doing great (picture on the right from a few months ago, picture on the left now), and then all of a sudden started drooping. I thought it was due to a lack of light so I relocated the plant and watered it and now it has dark spots on the leaves. Please advise!

Hi everyone! I’ve been dealing with thrips on my monstera since end of September. I’ve been spraying and wiping the leaves and stems with insecticidal soap. I’ve also given it a few cold rinses in the shower. But those thrips are still there. Definitely less, but I’d like to take my plant out of quarantine. If there’s one problematic leaf, I think it’s the middle one, which I see the most thrips on, however this middle stem also started sprouting a new leaf so overall it seems the plant is still doing well. Any advice what else I can do to get rid of the thrips but not harm the plant and hopefully save the new leaf and let it grow in? TIA! 🙏

Hi guys I’m very new to looking after house plants I’ve got angel wings but they don’t want to cooperate at all. There are pests and the stems rot and fall apart not the roots. Some stems don’t seem affected.

Hi everyone, my husband and I just moved into a house with a preexisting garden. I noticed two of the citrus trees have scales AND mealybugs. Any advice? It’s clear the garden was neglected while the house was vacant for over a year. Thank you!

Does this look like scale or something else? It’s slightly raised so I thought it was scale but I can’t scrape it easily with my fingernail and even wiping it down with a rubbing alcohol soaked paper towel and kind of scrubbing at it won’t remove it. The plant is generally underwatered and is a couple of metres away from an east facing window.
