I got this Pilea about a month or so ago and it was fine for the first week or so but has been dropping a lot of leaves recently. They turn yellow then get these black marks on them. I water according to the app and when soil is dry and also added a grow light but would love any advice!

I have a beautiful pin strip calathea that I got a few weeks ago. It seems very healthy, but the new leaves are paler green compared to the leaves it came with to. Do you think it needs more sun? Is that normal or is there anything else I should do for it?

Help please! I got her of the clearance section at Lowe’s for 4 dollars!!! So I had to try to bring her back! Some of her leaves were REALLY BAD like holes everywhere. So shower and hydrogen peroxide as well as neem oil and plant food. What else can I do and is this really an imperial red? I’m not really sure it would be my first. She’s got a tiny baby leave growing already but idk if she’s supposed to grow this way! Any advice is welcomed!!! Thanks!

I noticed these little white bugs on the plant. I repotted them about two weeks ago, new soil and nutrients. Not sure what they are and how to get rid of them.

I’ve read that this could be due to water left on the leaves. Not sure if that’s what it is or if the plant has a fungus. Please share any information you have

Hey, just looking for some help with my eastern redbud. I planted two of them around three months ago. One has thrived but this one is turning yellow and brown. The leaves are crispy and the bend test snaps the branch, while the healthy tree bends easily. It gets plenty of water and sun, so I’m a little stumped on how to help it out. Any advice?

Hey all, I’ve had my polka dot plant for a little over a month now and she has grown a lot since I got her. But recently I’ve noticed a little bit of yellowing ruining her aesthetics 😪 I repotted about 2 weeks ago hoping maybe it was because the roots were hanging out the bottom so needed a size up but wanted to give it time to settle in to new environment before I did so… would you recommend I prune them off or any trouble shooting recommendations? TIA ☺️

Hi! I got an Anthurium Queremalese plant last week which I thought was healthy and simply had some burn spots on the leaves, but as the days have passed the leaves are getting more yellow and damaged. I’ve turned the leaves over and the smallest leaves have these larvae - though I have no idea what they might be. What’s the best I can do/ advice to save this plant? Thank you!

okay currently have fungus gnats running rampant through my house i’ve tried 2 different insecticides with no improvement i need to know if what i think will help actually will i’m planning to give all my plants 100% new soil add sand on top along with diatomaceous earth and try a new gnat killer given to me by my local nursery also wondering if maybe rocks at the bottom of the planters would help too?? i dont know i go out of town at the end of the month and am lowkey panicking 😅

Can anyone tell me what this could be in my scindapsus? I’ve checked for pests and see no signs of anything, am I letting her dry out too much between watering? This is the only leaf right now that has this, so I’d like to solve before it becomes more widespread.
