M. deliciosa 3 days status post pruning and repotting presenting with discreet patches of flat white spots isolated to all stems and without involvement of leaves. During repotting, extensive L. birnbaumii spores were removed from soil and roots. No root rot was appreciated and the roots appeared firm and white; healthy growth throughout. Stems had no evidence of patches at that time. A mixture of 1 tbsp sodium bicarbonate was generously sprayed over the root system, top of the soil, stems, and leaves of the plant before repotting into a mixture of MiracleGro Indoor and MiracleGro Tropical soil. Several ounces of a diluted solution of Maxicrop Liquid Seaweed (1 capful of stock mixed 1 gallon of H2O) fertilized the soil after repotting into its new 16-inch diameter terra cotta planter. It was placed near the window to increase light exposure, promote water uptake, and transpiration and discourage fungal growth. Given this history, I am curious to know precisely what these patches are? Thanks in advance for your read and any thoughts offered!

Can someone please tell me if this is a fungus or what? When I bought the plant a couple weeks ago, it was pristine. I repotted it cuz it seemed to be in soaking wet soil. I looked at it a couple days ago and noticed some black/brown along some of the edges so I though maybe it got too much light from the lamp. I don't have it in direct sun. Then 2 days ago I saw these brownish things on the leaves. Please help!

Any idea why my monstera is getting these brown edges??? She’s near a humidifier and I water her about once a week. Help!

So my tomato plants I have grown from seed and I started them inside. They all looked fine, some growing quicker than other but as soon as I moved them outside now that it’s warm (Northern Illinois) they started withering and getting these white patches on their leaves and I have no idea why… They were in a south facing window while they were inside and got about 7 hours of sun and now they’re outside they get about 10 hours of sunlight. I water and fertilize on a relatively consistent schedule. Anyone know what’s up with them?

The mealybug bag of shame

Pretty sure I killed my prayer plant here… it was foundering in the terrarium, so I moved it into well-draining soil. Didn’t see any black roots, but could I have missed something? Any tips for next time?

My geranium has been slowly dying for the past few weeks. I water it about every 1-2 weeks. Why is she dying 😭

Has anyone ever used Miracle Gro Leaf Shine spray? On a caladium? I have one that just doesn’t seem to be doing so hot. I’ve given it more sun, less sun, more water, less water, it just doesn’t seem to be happy. I think it’s soil that I used might’ve been a little over fertilized when I originally potted it, just trying to help it out.

Hello all! I recently purchased this palm, and some of the older growth began to turn yellow. I have kept it on a very strict watering cycle, and it gets enough moisture and sunlight (both direct and indirect). As you can see there, has been a lot of new growth, is this something I should be concerned about? Or is it natural for these e plants to shed that older growth in new environments.

Y is there black

😣😬😬. I have this plant shelf with 3 plants on it (Christmas cactus cutting, moth orchid, monstera). First: a small question- Is this orchid root heathy? I know the one behind it isn’t but that is from saving it from root rot about a year ago. Second and more importantly: I’ve been seeing these gnat things and it seems like there are more everyday lol. What are they? I haven’t noticed any damage to my plants but I did have one flying annoyingly flying around last night while I was reading in bed. I counted about 5 just now. Please help

Red sap coming from elephant ear (kept indoors) is this normal or is it pests?

My silver monstera (siltepecana) is getting brown and yellow tips! Help? Is this a bacterial or fungal issue mostly? or humidity? or watering unfiltered water?

So I just got this Pink Princess a few weeks ago, and she just recently sprouted 2 new leaves. I was looking at the one leaf that just started opening up, and it looks like it’s ripping. I haven’t touch it at all. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Hello! I planted this lime tree in my back yard about 3 months ago. We noticed some blemishes on a few leaves and much of the fruit is scarred as seen in the photos. I suspect citrus canker which is incurable. Do I need to remove the tree completely? Any advice is appreciated.

Hi everyone! My mom bought a rubber tree that had been bitten by a few pests previously. We noticed these weird white dots/spots on the leaves where they’d been munched on. does anyone know what that is?

I just planted this Tulip a couple of days ago. It had pretty blooms but now they look like this. Is it something I need to do?

Struggling with my monsteras and root rot recently, repotted into terracotta, waited 4 days between repotting and watering...noticed some issues with my monstera deliciosa and then noticed leaf discoloring on my Thai constellation. I know I need to stop messing with it but at least with my TC, spent $50 so I really want it to thrive and be healthy 😭 the main roots are still firm and are white but they are covered in this, is it the start of them coming down with root rot or is it just soil?? It doesn't come off super easily but I am able to scrape it off 😭

Anyone know what may be causing this discolouration? 🥲
