Was thinking scale was eating my plant, Iāve try soaking in house plant bug killer ultra , also mealy bug killer spray, insecticide soap and cut off loads of infected leaves, also moved away from other plants but itās getting worse, no sign of pest, Iām going to try triple action neem oil with dr bronnerās peppermint all-one magic soap diluted in water and soak the plant after another good shower of all leaves, any idea what pest this is, soil has been changed to good quality soil ninja fern mix with extra perlite and bits, the plant did have a couple of these marks when I purchased it, first thing I did was good shower and soil change

Hi plant people! Does anyone know what these strange white spots are on my Pepperomia plant? They are on quite a few of the leaves :(

So I looked it up and said my soil is heathy and I should leave this little mushroom. Does anyone have experience with this mushroom?
Should I add it to my plant list š

I have a plant called Tradescantia and it is not doing well at all! It has been struggling for a long time and the leaves look alive still but the vines break off very easily with no force. I havenāt repotted since I got it but should I repot it now? I donāt know what is wrong with it at all but if anyone knows what it could be I would love to hear it!

I have had issues with both my stromanthe and heart leaf philodendron ever since Iāve had them and at this point I donāt know much more of what I can do. They get humidity from my humidifier I run every day, I water my stromanthe with only distilled water, and use appropriate soil. They also get plenty of sun light and receive fertilizer every couple of weeks. My philodendron has been dropping leaves as well. They both have drainage and I donāt over water. Does anyone have any tips on what I can do, or what may be the issue? Thank you bunches!

Got this rattlesnake plant about a month and a half ago. I was doing the same regiment for it as my other Calathea (fishbone prayer plant) ā water them 1-2x per week (as needed) with regular tap water; mist them; give them bright, indirect light; and fertilize them every 3-4 weeks. My other calathea is thriving! It's literally popping out new leaves and growth left and right. This one, not so much. š
I recently switched to watering it with distilled water, but I'm wondering if that's enough to reverse its slow death. Should I wash off the roots with the distilled water and repot it too? Something else?
Thanks in advance! šŖ“

Edited to add: This whole time, I thought my other plant was a Calathea. I was today years old when I found out Calathea Burle Marx plants/fishbone prayer plants aren't actually Calatheas. They're Ctenanthes. Please tell me I'm not the only one who didn't know this. š
Either way, I still need help with my rattlesnake plant. haha

Hi,
Any tips for this snake plant? It sits in my lounge room with a split system but I donāt have a lot of space to put it elsewhereā¦
Not sure if itās also too overcrowded.
Thank you!

Whatās wrong with my Marigold?
I left this newly planted marigold for three weeks with my brother to water it. It was a pretty hot summer and may have gotten too much sun, but now that itās indoors, its bottom leaves are discolored and misshapen. I thought it would get better but itās just trying to bloom regardless. Is it a disease/illness? Or a deficiency? (Photos are from most recent to oldest)

Do I need a larger humidity tray for my prayer plant? This leaf was already a little wrinkly when I got the plant in the mail a couple of weeks ago, but now thereās a bit of browning and curling under.

Iāve been seeing these white lines through the soil and dead stems on my peace lily and have been worried about pests. It definitely needs a repot and has been getting way too little humidity, but Iāve been trying to fix that. What are the white spikes/lines? Are they harmful?

This poor plant is struggling, and Iām at a loss for what Iām doing wrong. Iāve watered it, Thereās decent lighting, but not direct sun. Given nutrients, changes the soil and pot when it grow out if the original pot.
