I got this white wizard a few weeks back and I have no idea why he suddenly started getting these brown spots? I do not over water and when I do water the top inch of soil Is dry

Hello, i’m worried my plant is outgrowing its planter, and I also noticed what seem to be two separate stalks. I was first wondering if anyone could confirm that I should move this to a bigger planter or not, and if so, how big? Also, does anyone think it would be possible or prudent to separate the two stocks into two separate planters? Thank you for any insight!

Hi, I’m remotely new to plants and have succulents and leafy plants. I currently have all in my bedroom with some next to a low light window and most under grow lights, I want to put them outside but last time I did that I had a massive knat infestation, I used traps and killed almost all of them but how do I put my plants outside and prevent Knats?

RIP to McStrawb - he was wilting for a minute and we thought he wasn’t getting enough sunlight. We started putting it out into more direct sunlight, watering it more & it still wasn’t better. It wasn’t until we finally looked closer at the white, that we realized the bugs… unfortunately there was no saving the plant but now our other plants are starting to suffer. We took them all outside for a few days and are basically spraying everyone with neem oil & this minty plant spray. Any other advice? We’re bringing them back in for the first time but are horrified of the idea to them clinging to hair, clothes, fabric. Is our house going to be infested?

These things keep popping up in my soil! What are they and how do you get rid of them? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I got this Alocasia Polly about 3wks ago, but the two leaves edge started turning yellow, repotted just yesterday and now the yellow is spreading. The soil is damp but not soggy, I do move it daily to receive sunlight. Would that be the issue? Also, there was not root rot and it’s developing a new leaf.

Are these rose bushes worth saving? There were four of them when we moved about a month ago. Now only two are left. I’ve been watering them, but they don’t seem to be getting any better. I want to eventually turn this green planter into a veggie garden. So any help is appreciated, thanks.

Why is my umbrella tree doing this constantly? I’ve had to trim it down so much. I’ve repotted her because of this, it’s just in an old nursery pot with great drainage.

Can someone help us with this plant? What are we doing wrong? She was super full and bushy and she’s slowly thinning out

Overall, my white fusion has been pretty happy. But lately I’ve noticed a few leaves like this fading yellow. Any idea what this could be?

Had my first real life encounter with root rot today and the smell that comes with it. Also definitely understand the importance of well draining soil and correctly sized pot 🫠🫠🫠

I have been having problems with gnats in my plants, i have tried neem oil, insect killing spray, letting my plants completely dry out, systemic houseplant insect control, diatomatious earth, hydrogen peroxide, sticky traps, etc. nothing has worked and it seems as if that all just made them multiply?? they weren't bad until i did the systemic houseplant insect control and diatomatious earth and that just made them so much worse, they are all over my ceiling curtains, etc just everywhere. i'm honestly at a loss for what to do anymore

Help! I’ve had my money tree for over 2 years and all of the sudden the branches started to droop. Normally I water my plants when they droop and they perk back up but that’s not happening. What could be the issue? There is a month difference between the 2 photos

Hello! I'm still rather new to plantkeeping and have had luck keeping my multiple Pothos and Philodendron alive at least, but it seems like any time I try to branch out to different plants something goes wrong 😓 I had gotten a Coleus around a month ago and it's slowly been losing its color and leaves. The soil is still moist so it's not under watered, but the leaves that are dying are turning black and crunchy. I haven't used any fertilizer on any of my plants, and I bottom water them with tap water treated with fish tank conditioner (I read it's helpful for nutrients). Any suggestions on what I should do to save it?

Are these normal spider webs or spider mite webs?

Neighbor gave us a peace lily to try to save. From what she said and my opinions on it, probably not enough sun and overwatering. Thought are appreciated, also is this pot too large? Thanks

Help! Sydney winter has killed my Pellionia repens… thankfully I have cuttings propagating in a container but is there anything I can do for the main plant? I had her under a grow light inside, with other plants for humidity - the area does also get natural light. Photo in the sun is just to show the damage! Dropped leaves, blackened-shrivelled leaves, spongy vine…
