These mushrooms popped up in my garden bed. There was a tomato plant in there that had a little problem than started spreading to my other plants which I removed in the past week and a half, but I still have bell pepper jalapeño and oregano that are pretty established the oregano I’m pulling out, but the peppers I’m leaving as they’re striving. What should I do?

I’m going insane. I’ve found 0 pests on my plants (aside from fungus gnats). But, I feel like I’m constantly seeing things that are symptoms of pests. I’m somewhat of a beginner with plants, am I just paranoid?
I’m also moving across country with my plants rn (horrible). As soon as I move in, they will all be incinerated with a bajillion gallons of insecticide and hydrogen peroxide.

Hello 👋 I am a bit stumped with my anthurium crystallium, she was doing really well, I keep her moist and she also has a moss collar too. She is adequate lighting and humidity is pretty good, it's ambient but we sit above 60% I also use a humidifier. I thought perhaps I had overwatered her, but her roots look healthy and she's in a very chunky mix. I'm concerned it might be fungal or bacterial? If anyone has an idea would be marvellous 😊💚 thank youuuu

My poor weeping fig has one leaf left. Is it worth saving? And if so, any help would be appreciated. ☹️

Why are my string of hearts looking white? Are the leaves getting too much light or not enough water?

Hi everyone, I recently bought a string of hearts and when i brought it home I found it had some sort of grubs in the soil. The plant looks healthy, and the last time I treated a plant for this problem (removed from pot, cleaned roots with water and hydrogen peroxide, repotted in new clean pot) the plant died pretty quickly afterwards. String of Hearts has been on my wishlist for years and id really prefer not to kill this plant. Does anyone have any advice? Should I just leave the grubs there? Will they spread to my other plants? Right now i have the SOH in quarantine until I figure out what to do. He seems to be really healthy but since this is my first time with a SOH I am not entirely sure.

I have a new baby, I don’t know what the real name is because the app says one name, the stamp has another and I don’t know 🤣😂 but is beautiful and I put it in that pot so it has more space.

Multiple plants have died due to some sort of fungus/mold on top of the soil. I’m not sure why this is happening or how to avoid it. Could it be something in my room? Anyone experienced this before? Before and after photos of two plants.

I have two Monsteras under grow lights since I live in an apartment. I’m usually not comfortable leaving the curtains open nor is the window area safe. It seems that the window is pretty old so cold air seeps in too much. It also gets too cold. I have them in the corner of the kitchen. When it gets too cold, I also have the heater on. It didn’t look like that before, I can’t remember when.
I wanna say it’s the soil but also the heater? Or the frequent temperature change. It did so good during the summer.
I want to know my next steps. Do I need to repot or separate them? They seem to be pushing apart their nursery pots too.

Hi can any one advise on my Areca? It’s going very out and floppy rather than tall and straight - pic 2 is how it use to look. Does it just need more water?

Philodendron Billie has these weird dark spots underneath, they don’t feel any different from the leaf but are new. Anyone know if this is normal or a sign of an issue?

Does anyone know why this one leaf is yellowing? I have new growth and there aren't any issues with the other leaves. Google says it's just old and dying but what do you guys say

help! just bought this money tree two ish weeks ago and some of the leaves are turning brown and crusty and drooping 😭 I was told it could be spider mites but I’m not sure… I haven’t noticed any bugs

lemon tree dropping leaves like this, is this nutrient deficiency?

I bought a pink philodendron from facebook market place, but I got her home and realised she has some kind of infestation. (Probably why the seller wanted to get rid)
Can anyone help me identify what they are ? These are the worst affected leaves. I'm thinking spider mites or mealy bugs but i'm unsure what the larger bugs are on the stem.
What would be the best way to deal with it? I have quarantined the plant until I know what to do with it.
