Does anyone know why my mints leaves are changing color and turning almost white? I only water when the soil is dry or the leaves are beginning to droop. It is sitting on a south-facing windowsill and gets plenty of sunlight. I recently repotted into a slightly bigger plot since it was outgrowing its old one. I repotted with an equal amount of peat moss, perlite, and compost. But, this issue started before I repotted.

Okay maybe one of you can help me with this. I’ve got 2 peace Lilly’s. Both the same age, they both get watered the same amount, watered at the same time, misted at the same time, fed at the same time, Both pots have the same soil and size. Literally the only difference is the shape of the pot. can you tell me why it be of dropping and the other isn’t? it’s got strong deep green leaves, no holes ect.

I can’t figure out what my Norfolk Pine needs! It looks all dry, with its tips curled and a lot of them falling off. I put a humidifier near it to help with humidity, and I’ve been watering regularly. Help!

Heeeey, first time in this app, I’m 30yrs old and never thought I’d be obsessed with plants when I was a kid 😂 quick question though. I’m thinking about trying out some predatory mites on indoor plants .Im noticing a few fungus knats lately and trying to nip it in the bud “see what I did there”… when all the fungus knats die, will the mites start causing damage to my plants?

Anyone know what's going on with this monstera? Ithink it may be thrips but I'm not sure?

New growth on new zz plant looks like this and on the regular leaves too. Is it too much sun? I’ve had the plant for a little over a month and I’m not sure what to do to help it. New plant mom struggling 😩

Calathea Dottie issue: Had for 6 months w/o issue. Now several leaves have whatever this is and it slowly spreads up the leaf. I’ve treated with an antifungal with no luck. Gets watered according to a meter. There’s also new leaves unfurling so it’s still growing. Just do t know what this is or how to treat it

This orchid died almost a year ago. Is there any hope of it coming back?

I found these in the soil of my Pothos. Are there earth worms or larva? I don’t want to kill them if they’re good, however if they are bad and will kill my plants I would love to know!

My spider plant is drooping and my snake plant is drooping and has yellow leaves. The snake plant on here said it is sensitive to acid in water which I gave it tap water so that could be the issue but does anyone have any other ideas as to why my plants aren’t happy? (I already pulled yellow leaves off of snake)

Does anyone have experience using Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) in their garden? Was considering it for some of my eggplants and peppers, but I know too it might kill helpful bugs… is it fine if I don’t put it on flowers?

hi planties! i need some help :( i went to water my smaller heart leaf philo today and this small clear orb was on the top of the soil? this is the first one ive found in my plants and it looks to me like an egg? there was a tiny white bug i saw when i pulled it out, but i don’t see any movement otherwise to catch a pic. can someone help me identify this and help with next steps to avoid an infestation? i have ~50 plants and most within close range of each other.

Is anyone able to help me get rid of flies/gnats? They fly all over my house out of the soil from my plants. I thought it was because the soil was too moist, however they are also in the soil of my succulents.

What is on my pothos?! I’m checking for fungus gnats and I see this fuzzy thing? Should I be concerned?

It’s doing well but I just recently noticed some of the bottom stems or leaves fall off! Is this normal? I still see new leaves starting to come in!
