Hello! As of yesterday I noticed a tiny little fly showing up occasionally around my room. I have a ton of plants and I’m very new to plant care but I assume it is a gnat. I have a small tea station next to my bed with open honey and if it were a fruit fly I would have found it in there already. How do I know which plant is infected? Or are all of them infected now? I have many seedlings and herbs but I’ve just had them all in a different room for a few minutes today for some tlc, no sign of any flies of gnats. I moved my orchid down from her shelf and a few minutes later the fly appeared, is it safe to assume it’s the orchid? She had some extremely rotted roots about a week ago so I completely rinsed her roots off and repotted, would that not have gotten rid of any fungus? I’m very new to all this and admittedly a bit squeamish about pests so I would really appreciate any help at all :)

Does this look like sunburn? This is the oldest leaf on my syngonium and I don’t see any other discoloration on the other leaves. It’s pushing out loads of new leaves right now too. I just want to make sure there’s no issue that I’m missing.
Thanks for your help!

Im a newbie to Prayer plants. Is this a fungus starting up on my Rattlesnake Prayer plant? I don’t think Ive been over watering as Ive been using a moisture meter. I removed 2 leaves with spots. The rest of the plant is healthy looking.

I got this olive tree about a week ago and it’s shedding leaves so much - any ideas? The top of the soil is dry but I can’t tell what the bottom is like - I bought another one at the same time and that is fine - any clues ?

(sorry for blurry photo) I just found that one of the ‘leaves’ of my snake plant is nearly broken off! Should I cut and propagate or just leave it alone??

Hi there, any help with this is appreciated!!!
My golden mosaic has beautiful potential, and there’s always new leaves forming from the top …However there’s a lot of bottom leaves browning and other concerns as you can see. What should I do to keep this plant healthy?? 🙏

Hello! I just got this Spanish lavender about a week ago. I repotted it with soil (has charcoal, perlite, little mulch things) and watered it. I have been sticking to the schedule but it quickly started deteriorating and is pretty stiff and lost its green. What should i do? the soil is slightly moist but the top is dry.

Hey guys! So… I’m a new plant parent and I’m learning how everything works. So far my plants are happy except my pink princess. Is there any hope for her? I do think I underwatered her but she always had indirect sunlight (maybe not enough though?).

This is my beloved Hope. Lately she’s been drooping quite a bit and I think it’s due to a combination of overwatering and insufficient sunlight. I have her next to an obstructed south-facing window that gets direct sunlight for a couple hours a day. Any tips on how to keep her from drooping?

Hello! This is my fruit cocktail tree, meaning it has a variety of different fruits (plum, peach, and apricot), and I'm concerned about the leaves shown in the picture. Should I be worried about the curling and the color of them? Another problem is one branch has no leaves. Any help will be appreciated 👍

Help! Skinny here is not doing well. She is in the bathroom in a filtered glass window. I repotted her about a month ago and I try to keep her soil moist. Any recommendations on how to save her? Or is it a lost cause?

I got these tulips as a gift about a week ago, they started blooming a day or two later, and several of the flowers already seem to be shriveling. I’ve watered the plant once in that time. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
