My Dumb Cane or Chinese Evergreen (unsure which it is) started having these brown spots on the leaves. I cut away the worst ones but hoping someone can help me save the rest. Should I just cut away all the leaves that have brown spots?

I noticed recently that my prayer plant has a relatively minor case of mealy bugs. I first found the webbing, and then picked off the (extremely small) mealy bugs I could find. I ended up cutting a large part of her leaves off (not pictured here), but I’m wondering if there is anything else I could do to eradicate them? I have been spraying with an insecticide (plant-safe), but I really don’t want them to come back. :/ It is already separated from my other plants.

Hello everyone! I have been unfortunately dealing with a great deal of small flies in my bonsai😰 with online research, i tried the yellow fly trap sticky which works great (as shown!) but not enough as there are still many of those small flies flying around. I now have flies in my neighbouring orchid so im afraid i have contaminated my other plants😓 I have a moisture meter in the bonsai to ensure the soil i not too wet, i water it from the bottom and doing everything to avoid moisture but the flies keep multiplying!!! Any advice??? 🤞🏼

Hi! Any help is appreciated, I have a string of heart for maybe a month or so and I have it in this pot which doesn’t have holes but it has rocks in the bottom. The soil looks firm and keeps developing these white spots and I’m not sure how to help her. Does it need to be repotted? I just want it to thrive ❤️

Hello! I’m new to plants so any tips would be greatly appreciated! My begonia has been losing a lot of color and the leaves have been turning brown on the edges. The flowers are also losing color and I’ve had to cut a lot off. I’ve only had it for 5 days and it came with some brown leafs that I’ve cut off but more have been discoloring. Does anyone know what the problem could be and how to fix it? Ive watered it twice so far and put it next to a window because it’s partial sunlight. Thank you!

what are all these white dots all around my onion seedlings?!😩

Hi! I have a giant philodendron whose stalk at the base hasn’t been growing to keep up with how tall it’s getting and how many leaves it’s growing, and has fallen over since the base stalk is too thin. A friend has said it’s a disease and to burn it but I wanted to check here first. Help please! And thank you! I’d rather not get rid of the plant if I can help it

I have had this Thai lime tree for several years and never noticed any problems. Recently, it started dropping leaves that were still green and looks like the picture below? Any suggestions? Neem oil doesn’t seem to have done the trick.

I found a tiny bug on the stem and it was brown and tiny. About 2 cm long. It had a larger head and had little teeth like spikes at the head. Looked like a parasitic worm. Anyways, I cut to the chase. Do y’all know of a way to help my baby recover? I just noticed it today. I have been moving all month and have been away since Saturday. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Ok so: I’ve never had a hydrangea but my mom saw this one at Whole Foods for Easter. Is all of this stuff normal? It has brownish spots all over stems. Also one of the leaves looks a little suspicious. Help please! I am keeping it in my kitchen which doesn’t have any other plants in it. Thanks so much!!

This is my first time owning daisy’s is this normal? Or should I be concerned about bugs

Help! My dracaena is very angry. My pot has drainage but I’m wondering if I over watered? I’ve tried to cut back on watering to no avail. He still has brown and yellow spots all over. I repotted him about a month ago and he was fine until then. Could he be just readjusting to his new home? I don’t want to try and repot like the app suggests if that is why. But if there’s root rot I probably should right? Any advice is welcome!

Not sure what I should do with this plant. It’s doing great but it’s getting so top heavy that I have to stake it. Should I continue to stake it or put it in a hanging pot and let it do what it wants? I’m afraid if I put it in a hanging pot that the stems would break because it’s so heavy. What do you all think?

My calatheas leaves are turning yellow/brown. I thought it was due to too much direct sunlight, so I moved it away from the window. Could there be any other possibilities? Thanks!

I have mold growing in a plant I watered a few days ago. It is in the window with plenty of light, properly drained and healthy. Any ideas on how to keep the mold from growing?
