My bonsai tree has thrips, how do I get rid of them?? They are small, tan, and hid in the soil
How to be sure I have thrips? I haven’t with 100% certainty seen adults but I’m seeing some signs of pest consistent with thrips on my plants. I just wanna be sure I likely actually have them before I start going crazy with treatment plans.
I was given this plant to revive and not sure where to start! It was my grandmas and she’s going through a lot right now and hasn’t been able to keep up with her plants. This guys been living in her garage since July! Any tips are GREATLY appreciated I’m really bad at keeping this type of plant thriving. I would love to revive this guy and gifted it back to her ☺️☺️

Can anyone tell me why my philodendron is retaining moisture all of a sudden? I have had this plant for more than 2 years, repotted last year in plastic nursery pot with lots of holes, has been perfectly happy until now. 😕 Recently I watered it as usual and several of the leaves turned yellow. And the tips are turning brown. I keep getting reminders to fertilize but the soil remains moist. Any thoughts? TIA

Virginia bluebells showing some brown bits on the stem close to the soil. Something worth concerning about? Been battling a gnats problem for over a week.
I was given a bouquet of roses, and I wanted to propagate the ZZ (I think?) from the fillers. I noticed these little white “pocks” on the underside of the leaves; are these little critters (or their eggs!) I should be worried about? They otherwise look ok, and I don’t see any bites or anything on the leaves. Thanks!
One of my saddest plants that’s struggled since I moved house a few months ago. I’m not sure how to help it as – due to neglect – it could be down to any number of reasons 😭 For context, I thought I was overwatering it so I let it dry out a bit more than I would have otherwise and then I thought I’d underwatered it and then I wasn’t sure so went back and forth between watering it a lot and a little. Finally I realised a month ago that I’d missed that it was completely pot bound and needed repotting, which I did, but the leaves keep on developing these dark patches. It’s always been a little sensitive, way more so than any of my other pothos have ever been, and I’m worried about making it worse with this scattergun approach. Does anyone have any advice on what I should try, or is it better to chop and prop and start again? 💔
Hi! I just recently potted this glorious beast after being in water for like 8 months. I’m so scared of her dying and I knew I should have just kept her in water where she was happy. But is there anything anybody can recommend to me to help this plant thrive. The first sign of decline is that the left side of the smaller leaf is turning yellow/ lighter green.
hi guys! hope youve all had a good weekend! does anyone know whats going on with this leaf on my calathea? its the newest leaf that has the little dots of sticky something underneath it - no sign of pests, and its the only leaf that has this problem. i dont think its from overwatering, as i tend to be an underwaterer - i only water when the leaves start to curl and i can tell it needs a drink (tho that could be the problem lol). i also think thr plant is a little yellow from too much light/too little water - im working to fix that :) tiaa!!
My Flaming Katy is confusing me as of late. She’s dropped most of her leaves the past month or two, but trying to flower now. How do I best care for my plant who’s clearly stressed but growing? 🤯
