I have these in all my plants and I’m realizing that they are more obvious around my house with the more plants I invest in. What are things that have worked for you guys to combat this/ get rid of the gnat problem? Thanks for advice.
I’m so upset about this! This is Zeus, my Alocasia. He’s new to the family but he’s sick? I removed him from his pot, removed root rot & have him all new soil with extra perlite & gave a light watering. Came home today and 3 of his leaves are super droopy now :( I know they don’t love having their roots messed with but I figured it was better than making him soak in an old soil that wasn’t draining right. Any tips or tricks? Has anyone had this happen to their alocasia?
Help! I bought a croton a about a week ago and finally went to repot it. The root balls are teeny! My smallest pots are much bigger than these roots. Any suggestions?
Does anyone else live in NJ and have a palm plant that’s not handling well our drastic change in weather? Mine has drastically formed yellow leaves within the last couple weeks. But I’m also trying to determine if it needs a repot or something else, and maybe not weather related. I don’t see any pests.
Please help this just started happening fast to my Easter cactus. Any advice?
ooooohhh my gosh, is this a thrip 😔
Hey everyone 👋 My once gorgeous (like as of last month!) Croton Petra went from thriving to un-aliving 🥴😭 pretty sure that cold snap in February really traumatized her. So, what’s my next move? It’s a pretty mature plant and I honestly don’t even know where to begin! Repot with fresh soil? Chop and prop? But… how?! Pls help, any advice is appreciated! 🪴
Hi all! I noticed this white fuzzy stuff in the soil of my monkeys mask plant. I watered a couple days ago. Is it mold? Do I have to repot? Sorry, first time plant owner here!
Have you tried a complete chop back to get rid of spider mites, and if so, was it successful? I’ve had this dieffenbachia cool beauty since December 2024… she always has spider mites. Almost every time I water her I see signs of them. I wipe her down with alcohol wipes every time. I’ve also introduced predatory mites. The first time I found them I treated & bagged her for days. Last summer I repotted her, & left her outside, but they reappeared after I brought her in. I’ve almost tossed this plant a few times. I hate to kill a plant, but I can’t abide chronic pests.
Are my hyacinth dying? They bloomed not even a week ago and theyre bending a lot and looking really brown and mushy, im not too sure whats been going on but maybe the sun will help because its been rainy for a few days. Please help :(
Anyone know what to do for this guy? I’ve repotted it in better draining soil because it was really retaining water but I’m not sure if it only being overwatered or if there is another problem going on.
Hello! I live in the north east, and I have a fig tree. It hasn’t been below freezing in a couple weeks, and has actually been around more warm, so we put it outside for the first time in a couple months. However recently, it’s been more wilty? It’s a rather large pot with drainage, so when I see this I usually put a bottle of water. But it still lost a couple leaves, and a couple more turned a little yellow. Update: Ok so it is cold burn, I wasn’t aware fruiting trees don’t like to be under 60. Also, I’ve been watering it too much, and that’s why it’s been wilted lately. So I’m not going to water it for a week or two and see what happens. ALSO there’s centipedes in the soil. So I can’t bring it back in to avoid cold burn. However, I’m going to cover it with plastic wrap to try and keep the rain out and hopefully dry the soil out and get rid of the centipedes so I can bring it back in until May. Do you have any suggestions on what to do to give it its best shot? Please and Thank you!
Poor monster has had it rough. First, it was drowned for many days in a pot filled to brim with water. It also might have scale or spider mites or some other such critters. Carelessly I placed it in near an ac vent, so it went from high humidity and heat to dry AC air. Also attached are pictures of a pothos, the damage to it coincides with the arrival of this sick bedraggled monstera right next to it. What do you recommend, my friends?
:( Any ideas as to what’s wrong with my monstera? I’m thinking it’s underwatered but I would like someone else’s opinion
How do I heal this brown spot on my carnivorous plant?
so i got this dragon scale alocasia in the beginning of january and i repotted it in semi-hydro with lecca balls and since then it has grown a new leaf and two flowers. it started yellowing on its leaves probably three weeks ago and i am just trying to figure out WHY the leaves are yellowing.
Hey guys, there is something wrong with my prayer plant, a lot of leaves fell, turned yellow or brown and I am not sure why… can you guys give me some tips?
Hello everybody, this is my wonderful monstera. But today I was watering it and discovered this weird type of fungus in the soil. I immediately stopped watering it and it actually looks like tiny mushrooms. Any suggestions on how to help the monstera and get rid of the mould?
Hi plant friends 🌿 I’m looking for some advice about my Watermelon Peperomia. I’ve recently noticed brown spots forming on some of the leaves. It’s still pushing new growth, but I’m worried something might be wrong. I keep it in bright indirect light and water when the soil feels dry. Has anyone seen this before or know what might be causing it? Any tips would be appreciated!
Went away for the weekend and came back to this in some of my plants but not others. I’m assuming it’s mineral buildup, but I use the exact same filtered (not purified) water for all my plants and it’s not the area because all of my plants are in my bedroom and some don’t have this. I thought it could be pests because most of the ones it’s happening to are near each other but I did that alcohol test thing and they didn’t turn yellow (unless I did it wrong) and one of my plants (pink pot) is far from the others and the plants near that one don’t have it. Help!
