My corn plants leaves keep turning yellow and the new growth is a very light green and turning yellow too. It seems like this started happening from the winter cold. but I’m not sure. I’m not really sure what do at this point to fix it

I’ve been having issues with bugs in my plants but I think this may be some sort of soil fungus. The mushroom looking piece has disappeared but there are white spores like this all around my soil. Does anyone know what this is and how to stop or prevent it??

Hello, my Dracaena fragrans has been challenging from day one. I’ve had it for about two+ years. So I could start with repotting. But it’s never been stable. See photo where I’ve had to keep them roped together and staked, and I even kept tape at the base as well. They’re a cluster of 4. Things worth noting, the pot is 15.5” in diameter/19” tall hard plastic pot). I have it sitting 1’ away from a NW facing window and it’s also kitty corner to a north facing. I should add that I have not been great at watering it over the last couple years. I will sometimes go up to a month without watering, but I was consistent for the first year and it still had the stability issues. I plan on being better about watering. -when I repot it, can I keep it in the same pot or should a cluster of 4 have a wider diameter pot? From what I’ve read, the diameter and height is sufficient, but perhaps that information is for one and not a cluster? Any special tips on your favorite soil to purchase? Should I move it from a NW to a NE facing window? Any other tips? -my ponytail palm in the last photo has sadly been in front of a N facing window. This one was replanted about 6 months ago. I’ll take any tips for this guy. I could move this in front of a south facing window once a week for a half a day? -i’m aware that the window directions are not ideal, but unfortunately, but this is where they have to be. I did put a sun lamp in the ceiling that’s about 4 feet away from the corn plant and the ponytail palm. I figured why not even if it’s too far away. The window positions in this room are NW,N&NE.

I just got this Albo Syngonium today. It was expensive but I bought it in good health. Since i’ve brought it home, the white leaves have wilted and have turned slightly more yellow than white. I think it maybe be temperature shocked bc it came from a greenhouse to my house which is not as warm but idk. Please please please help.

I've had no pest issues for a long time, then today I found aphids on several of my indoor-only plants. I collected/used rain water earlier this week, and guessing now that's how they came in. Has anyone had this happen? For those of you who collect rain water, best methods to ensure it's free of pests before using? Thanks in advance. 🙂

I have a bunch of succulents, and I put them all together thinking it would be better. I always throw my scraps in there for compost or maybe propagation. What should I do to help them in the middle of winter? I live in Illinois. The container has a detachable bottom which i sometimes take off and refill with water because some of the roots are hanging out. What should I do to keep them alive? Can I chop the dead stems off? Should I keep throwing my scraps in here or for possible propagation or nothing? Should I get a different container, if so now or what season? Should I add more soil? Should I let the roots hang out underneath in the water?

I have a Money Tree plant in a very cold area. (Illinois) My cat somehow keeps eating my plants. Is it okay for me to just chop the stems off to the bottom in the cold of winter?

Is my lavender dying or going dormant? I watered it a week ago cause it looked sad but hasn’t perked up. I’m in New England so it’s definitely colder and darker this time of year! There are some bottom leaves that are definitely dead.

I am very worried. I got this beautiful pothos as a christmas gift, but when I got it home, a big fat mosquito flew out and I noticed the soil looks rotted… well actually, in the second picture, it looks like a bunch of webbing in there. I’ve housed it outside, away from other plants in the meantime, in case it’s spider mites or an infestation. Anyone know what’s wrong with him?
