Please help! I bought this variegated jade plant off Etsy and it was just delivered today. The packaging was completely sealed and it wasn’t damaged, but when I opened it, it was COVERED in EARWIGS! I didn’t know what type of bug they were until later, and my mom wanted me to get the plant out of the house as soon as possible, so I rushed it outside and 3 earwigs crawled out of it and entered the mulch where I was planning on planting my tiger lily bulbs today. 😰 I have never dealt with earwigs before, especially not with a houseplant, and now I’m scared to even plant the bulbs before I can find the earwigs that got into the mulch. I haven’t been able to find them, and now the jade plant’s soil is currently too dry and very root bound, so I can’t even see if there’s any eggs or larvae of any more of these earwigs hiding in my new jade. She’s also pretty wilted and leaning to one side from the trip through the mail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help!! I was gifted this bonsai juniper at the end of last summer, and it was doing great up until this winter. I watered accordingly (the watering schedule Planta gave me). What can I do to save/ help it?

Hello! I have a cactus that’s growing rather odd and I’ve tried propping it up, but I’m just wondering if I could cut it off at a joint and propagate that or if that would damage the plant in any way

I sprayed cinnamon bark oil mixed with water on my houseplants because I read that it helps with ants and pests and now several leaves on some of them are turning brown and dying. I tried spraying them with just water to rinse it off but I’ve noticed more brown leaves. Anything I can do to fix it??

So I got this desert rose maybe 2 months ago. It had spider mites and lost all leaves. Now the base seems to be rotting. Is there anything I can do to save it? The soil is still moist but I’m scared it will break apart if I try removing it from this soil.

My goldfish plant is steadily going downhill. It kept dropping leaves. I just repotted it hoping I can provide better soil and drainage. The leaves have tiny divots and I don’t know what’s causing it. I see no signs of pests other than the divots. Does anyone know what’s causing this? Thanks.

Help, I don’t know what to do anymore! I repotted her a few weeks ago as the soil was very hard and she was much too big for the pot, yet never growing. I am trying Molly’s Aroid Mix for the first time as I’ve heard everyone raving about it. Since then, her stems will droop significantly after almost one week without being watering. Once watered, she perks up immediately and is stiff and strong for almost another full week until the cycle starts over. Now, her leaves are dying off and drying out like crazy, and she still hasn’t grown a single new shoot/leaf. I’m probably overwatering it slightly since it seems to want water so often, but it seems like nothing is helping the issue. Is this not the right soil? This plant has not grown a single new leaf since I’ve bought it; I’ve not encountered this issue with any of my plants before. Thanks in advance for any insight!

Does anyone know what to do? My weeping fig went about two weeks without watering, and all the leaves shriveled up and fell off. I’ve been keeping an eye on it for about 2 months now and the roots are healthy but no leaves are growing? Is it beyond saving?

Hey y’all! I recently got this English Lavender plant from a local plant sale. It was happy when I got it but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I can tell it’s dying but it’s not fully there yet so I’m hoping there’s still some way to save it? I know they have dormancy periods but it seems way too early for that. Still, I’ve pulled it in just in case it’s still a bit too cold for it. Additionally, I know they do better in the ground but I don’t have that as an option at the moment. Any advice for reviving it and helping it stay healthy in a pot? Thanks!

I have this little shelf setup for some of my smaller plants and propagation pieces, and i haven’t had any problems with bugs prior to this week but now i have a little colony of fruit flies, what would be the easiest way to get rid of em and keep them from coming back? (Also the light is further away than it looks in this photo) Im not sure which plant started the problem either, i saw one fruit fly 2 days ago and i checked them all and couldn’t find anything, now i can count like 7. Maybe it’s just too much moisture in a small area? I also don’t keep any food or anything around them, I’ve removed any dead leaves and made sure theres no sitting dirty water.

Hi all just wondering what could possibly be going on with my philodendron Imperials leaves. It’s in a well draining soil and gets plenty of indirect bright light. Is this normal or should I be looking into a fungicide

Found these guys on my prayer plant and money plant. They were separated by more than a foot. I believe it is white fly. Could only see them with my magnifying glass mag light. I think it is white fly. I found a larvae as well. Had to post this here to here other peoples thoughts.

Does this pot look too big??

Can anyone give me some tips on saving orchids? I recently rescued an abandoned orchid from a closing shop and am not sure if it’s healthy or not. It was potted in sphagnum moss, but the moss seems a weird texture so I thought I would repot it in bark.

I have this straw flower indoors, under a grow light - anyone know what is happening here?
