Dying or just the natural cycle of African Violets?

It’s kind of hard to tell but there are these really small black dots in my monstera, I did see a few really small black bugs crawling but killed the few I saw before realizing I didn’t take a photo. Anyone have any idea what it is and what I can do? I tried googling but didn’t have luck

Please help me figure out what I’m doing wrong. My Hoya Sea Stones keeps dropping leaves. Whole sections of the stem breaks off. The leaves are yellowing and curling up too. I’ve taken a picture of some of the healthier leaves, and the shriveling leaves for reference at first I thought it was lack of sunlight because I had her placed about 10 feet away from the west facing window, but I’ve had a grow light on her for 18 hours a day for several days and it’s not helping. Granted it was a cheaper grow light from Amazon so I don’t know if that might be part of the problem. I’ve been checking the soil with a moisture meter and only watering when absolutely dry. please let me know what I should try next.

Im having issues with some of my plants. The new leaves are not wanting to open. I have started misting the more frequently and I just got a humidifier for each room now. Any other tip would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know a good homemade bug spray I can conjure up to keep ants and bugs away from my indoor plants??? I'm tired of squishing ants one by one.

My Money Tree was doing really well, nice big full silhouette; but over the last couple of months, it’s been dropping a lot of leaves, and there’s lots of browning. However, at the same time, it’s got lots of new growth, particularly around the base of the plant. Any ideas what’s going on? Is this normal?

My bell pepper plant has these streaks on it. The app says it’s probably snails, but I haven’t seen any. What could this be? Should I cut off the leaves? I’m in south Florida and it’s been pretty cold lately.

Hello-I have a question regarding my mother of thousands. I have read online that in the winter to water every 3 to 4 weeks. But I have been watering more frequently than that because according to my moisture meter the soil is dry. I have had several leaves that have turned yellow, look terrible in general and have eventually died or I have cut them off. Am I watering too much? The majority of the leaves look fantastic and have tons of babies on them, but some of the leaves do not and it kinda looks like they have stopped growing babies on those leaves. This plant is under grow lights. I feel like it’s getting sufficient light. Thank you!!

So one morning. I accidentally forgot to water for only one day. ONE DAY. And my purple waffle plants… Threw. A. Tantrum. They wilted, turned yellow and brown, crisped over, and became crunchy. I watered them and they became happy. Then it was regular watering day again, and they suddenly threw another freaking tantrum as if they had been through a drought. EVEN THOUGH I JUST WATERED THEIR BUTTS. I clipped off some paper of the awful ones. And it’s putting out new leaves but. What should I do?

Earlier this month some sort of bacteria/virus spread rapidly throughout all my plants. I cut off all infected leaves, separated my plants and began treatment/prevention immediately. However, the rest of the leaves of all of them ended up getting it too. I cut all my plants bald, and continued to sterilize everything between handling them, I dropped humidity, and stopped watering. Sadly, as their leaves are growing back, they’re all growing back WITH the bacteria/virus. On top of that, it is appearing on their stems as well. Im now debating whether to go ahead and throw pretty much all of them away, and start from scratch. As a last effort, I’ve bought some physan 20, and will apply that to see if maybe any new growth can grow issue free. I think one of the things that caused this was that I may have touched an infected plant i didn’t know was infected and then touched a healthy plant in my greenhouse. Also, never again will i quarantine new plants together even if they’re new from the same place. A single plant may have had it and spread it to all the other plants in quarantine. From now on, I’ll also treat my plants for bacteria, fungi, and viruses YEAR ROUND alternating between treatment types just as i do for pests. I’ll also try my best to not touch the leaf of a plant and then touch another. Etc etc. If I do have to throw them away, it will be practically my whole collection, but theres nothing I can do. I just hope someone can maybe learn from my experience as I attempt to learn from it as well. Im open to any ideas you may have to save even a few plants.
