Is this eggs?? I don’t understand did they maybe come with the plant I bought? How do I prevent this? Because I’m ready to give up on plants :(

I have a “compacta”? Planta that is struggling. I am either over watering, or not watering enough, or it does not like my building water. I just ordered a water conditioner to see if that makes a difference. Any suggestions? Thanks!

This is my first Chinese evergreen plant, my leaves are drooping, is this because of watering issues or sunlight issues? Or is this normal for this type of plant? I’ve had to add a uv lamp because don’t get enough light coming thru my apartment. Please help me.

My alocasia frydek just grew a new leaf and at the same time it started to have a discoloration to another. Can anyone help out? what shall I do? It’s been under a grow light about 6-8hrs a day for the past 3 days, indoor indirect sunlight. No pests on it/around it. Big leaf had the little discoloration since I bought it over a month ago with no new or increase in the discoloration. Soil was not too wet nor too dry either. Is it best to cut the yellow leaf or let it stay and water/mist it more?

Hey everyone new plant momma so don’t come for me please but I bought this beauty from Walmart, I feel like I rescued her more than anything her name is Monty I repotted her when I got home but I’m curious as to what the yellow things on the leaves are and if I need to split her so she has more room. I named her Monty

Does anyone know what this discoloration indicates on my monstera? The front looks ok, but there's this large brownish stain on the back. It's smooth. Everything else looks fine on the plant. I just separated from a larger plant and no other leaves have this, the roots are good. It's been mainly outside.

Help!! I can’t figure out why my adansonii is unhappy! The only thing I can think is that it’s outgrown its pot and I need to give it more soil in a bigger pot, but I’m unsure (and need to buy a bigger pot if that’s the case). There are no signs of pests that I can see.

I’m currently at a loss I had thripes about a month ago. I got 3 32oz pesticide and sprayed all of my plants with it over a period of a week then on the last day I took ALL of my plants outside and sprayed them down with the hose. I brought them all back in again and sprayed them down a final time. Welp I was watering and checking on them today and they are back! I’m so ready for my plants to find a new home 😔😂

Help! I got this fiddle leaf about two weeks ago and it looked great (first pic). We got home from vacation and I noticed browning of most of the leaves and this little cluster of small brown things - spider mites maybe? Anyone have any idea if that’s the pest I’m dealing with? And if there’s any hope at salvaging the plant since most leaves have some extent of browning.

Hi, I've had this moon cactus, who I call Sunshine, for at least three years. I read sometime ago that they tend to die after two or three years. I've been watching for short spots, one sign that they're dying. She doesn't have any. What is noticed is the top of the moon seems to be creating a separation and the color of the lower portion is fading. I water and fertilize following Planta's schedule unless she's not dry enough. I also read that it's good to remove the babies so it can stay focused on the main moon. To clarify when I say "I read" that means I've checked two of more sites I trust. Should I be worried? Is this a sign it's dying? The first four picture were taken today after giving her fresh soil. The others are over the course of three years.

Hello! We have a gnat problem and a friend suggested using neem oil. We got a huge spray bottle. What’s the best way to work the spray into our plant care routine? We have about 15 house plants—only indoor, very little direct light. Thanks!

I found this on my hoya carnosa compacta’s saucer, thinking it was just dust, but it’s actually moving. What pest is that? 😭
