I have a basil plant and there are really small grayish spiders in the soil near the plant… is this okay?

Hello! I am using miracle gro succulent potting mix and what I’ve noticed happening is the soil dries up and contracts around the periphery of the pot (see photos). This causes the water to drain too fast and not soak the soil when watered. I just ordered Coast of Maine succulent potting soil to repot a Madagascar palm. Would you suggest repotting these plants with this new soil I ordered that doesn’t so this? Thank you!

Hello! New gardener here and need help. How do I get rid of pests from my blueberry bushes and other vegetable plants? I spray them with Neem oil occasionally but one blueberry pot seems to be getting infested with ants now too. Help please!

I will start by saying… I have taken on a lot and don’t really know what I’m doing. I have dogs vomit, orange slime mold, spider mites, witches broom on roses(according to Google, lol) I have a LARGE space. I don’t know what to do. I read that the fungus on mulch is ok, just ugly. I don’t want to lose everything I have because I am inexperienced and overwhelmed. Help PLEASEEEE!

In this episode of "Orchid mix from hell" we got a new update: not only does the soil I got from Amazon contain mushroom spores, I am now seeing an abundance of white worms in the roots of my blooming orchid. Please let me know if they're harmful or not, I'm just staring at it in terror because I know I can't repot now. Also bonus question, will the worms try to escape and live by my side, or will they at least just stay in the pot? It was funny at first when I saw a rogue mushroom poking out but this is quickly getting ridiculous. Thanks everyone!🧡

My Janet Craig is fairly new (about 3 weeks old) and it just seems to be getting worse. I have watered it 3 times (about once a week) and keep it relatively near a window (8-10 feet away). It said it wasn’t too dependent on light but here I am. Any recommendations on how to help it become more lively? Thank you.

Hello! I have a follow up treatment question for my bamboo please! First picture is a few days ago - I pulled off the yellow leaves and freshened the water, but today I realized the top little part is fully yellow and shriveling… second pic is today. Can it be saved or is it too late once it starts? Do I cut it with sanitized pruners and dip it in wax? Help please Thank you 🙏 🌱

Hello, I recently purchased an alocasia infernalis. It’s only been two days, and one of the leaves stem’s has browned, drooped, and brown spots have popped up around the edges. I have it under a grow light, have a pebble tray underneath it, have a humidifier in the room, and just watered it 2 days ago… it may just been stressed because it’s in a new environment, but wanted to see if there are some experienced alocasia people that might know how to help?

My Snake Plant has some yellowing on the outer leaves as well as I’ve noticed it starting to droop just a bit. I think it’s because I was giving it filtered well water. I’m now giving it purified water but I was wondering if it will ever go back to normal color and stand straight up again?

I've had this ficus benjamina tree for a couple years now. It's been struggling! I finally decided to repot it today. I'm not sure what else I can do for it.... do I prune it, leave it alone..... Also, I have very persistent cats 😒 that like dirt. They are now all of a sudden super interested in getting into this pot. Does anyone have suggestions on how to cover the top of pots so cats can't get in? I've tried to make a makeshift cover!! I've used netting before- but I have one cat that isn't stopped by much.

Can I water all my houseplants with distilled/ filtered water? Do some actually prefer tap water? I noticed some of my plants are lime, fluoride, etc. sensitive/ don’t like tap water, I’m thinking of just watering all of them with filtered water. Any thoughts? Thank you!

My plant here, Hank, gets lots of sun but I’m not sure if he is getting too much or too little. I asked someone I know who is very experienced with plants if they knew what to do and they said he needs lots of sun but not direct sunlight. I put him on the ground near a sunny spot in my room but that was after I removed him straight from my window and he still has brown dry spots on his leaves. I also find that his soil gets dry fast so do I just need to move him? What do I do?

My dog has been eating my parlor palm. My dog is fine these aren't dangerous for him I'm pretty sure but my plant is not. You can see where he ate it. What do I do? I've been wondering about pruning the dead/eaten stuff but idk that might make it worse. Any advice?
