Are these soil mites or a bad pest? I only noticed them today in the soil of my rubber plant

If someone could help me I’d be greatful. We had a very hot summer and now temperatures have dropped quite drastically. Phineas (the plants name) was doing wonderful during the beginning of summer and so I repotted him and he did struggle with some white mild for a bit but I managed to clear it up. Since then I’ve noticed his leaves are starting to form these white holes in them (in some not all) and im worried that I may be doing something wrong and that he may be dying. Can someone please tell me if I need to change something as I don’t want to lose him and im concerned about his current state.

Please help! My calla lily is dying and I don’t know what to do! I’ve repotted her multiple times because I’ve been told to and she’s not getting better the soil is wet but her leaves are drying and becoming yellow. Does anyone know what to do?

Why is my monstera leaf suddenly changing color? Should I chop this part of the leaf off?

Hey everyone so my turtle vine plant isn’t doing too good🥺. He was thriving for months but now his leaves are turning crispy and the vines are thinning out completely and breaking off. Any tips?

Does anyone know what's going on with this plant? It's losing so many bottom leaves. I know they always lose a couple but this is losing a ton. I haven't changed it's watering schedule or where I keep it. It's been in the same window for five or six years. I'm stumped.

Hello! I am seeking advice to help my Thai Constellation! When I got this plant 20 or so days ago it already had half a leaf and all the same sprouts. I have not seen any new growth and I noticed that the bottom small leaf looks a lighter green from when I got it. I replanted it in a tropical soil mix when I got it and 11ish days ago. When I noticed a root outside of the soil had become soft. What steps should I take next to help this plant thrive! It’s about 4 ft from a window and I have a grow light on it 4 hrs in the early morning. Thanks for any help!!

I understand fully that this might not fall under the purview of this group, however. My backyard has been cursed with Stinkhorn Mushrooms. They smell so bad, not even my Terrier will go near them and he is a cat sh*t connoisseur. How might I treat my yard to rid myself of this pestilence?!

I have a hawaiian palm, which I noticed tiny white things crawling on, I think it could be thrips, it's made all the leaves droop as in the picture. How do I tackle this? I've used some provanto but nto sure the plant likes it, I'm just worried it's gonna die. I've also now cut the dying leaves off

My fiddle leaf fig has been dropping leaves. About 4 or 5 leaves have just fell off. I have already cut it because it was getting too tall and it grew out beautifully. I’m worried it’s going to get be bare at the bottom. I’ve had her for about a year (gave to me because they were moving) I’m not sure when it was last repotted but I’m scared to repot since she seems so fragile. Everytime she loses a leaf I die a little inside lol Any thoughts?

My white star calathea (goeppertia) has thrips. I gave the leaves a shower last night and am going to pick up Bonide today. Do I also need to change out the soil and rinse off the roots?
