Hi! My peacock plant is full of holes and her soil isn’t drying out anymore. I bought her as one of my first ever house plants about a year ago from Home Depot. She had holes in a few leaves but all other leaves since then have been fine.
I recently went premium with Planta and it told me I should be wiping down her leaves. Since doing that about two weeks ago, suddenly most of her leaves have holes.
I THINK what might be happening is Leaf Spots, and I spread it when I wiped her down? There are no signs of slugs, snails, or any other critters. It’s just the brown spots and holes. I picked up some physan 20 after doing some research and plan to treat her leaves with a diluted solution according to the package instructions.
I think she’s also in a pot that is too big with soil that retains too much water and not getting enough light??
To avoid a resurgence of the Leaf Spots, I was thinking I’d repot her into a smaller pot, check her root health, and give her a more aerated soil mixture I’ve been using with other plants.
Also, I bought a grow light to dedicate to her that should be here in a few days.
Am I on the right track? Is this too much for the poor gal? All help is appreciated!

I got this piper parmatum on clearance about a week ago, I cleaned the soil off, pruned the dead leaves, treated with pesticide, and placed the roots in water with a little bit of super thrive.
I need help, though I haven’t seen any sort of improvement what should my next steps be?

I just got my plant and this one leaf is turning yellow. I just got it a few days ago and it was fine. All I did was water it and repot it today. I’m not sure what’s going on if this is gonna die and then the whole plant will die. Please help!!

I have a 2 magnolia bushes maybe 6 ft apart from each other. One has already bloomed (second picture) and the other barely has any leaves (first picture). Third picture is of the very few leaves that it does have. Any ideas on what could be wrong with it or advice for bringing back to life?

My caladium white fusion isn’t doing so great, her leaves kept drooping and yellowing so I clipped all of those and this is what’s left. Any care tips?
I’m gonna put her back in a clear nursery pot this weekend so I can keep on eye on her roots

So my umbrella plant looks sick. Don’t know what’s ailing it. Not sure how to treat it. Was thinking of taking alcohol and a q-tip and rubbing the “lesions” to see if I could get rid of them. Any advise?

Hi! I'm super new to plants, so I'm still learning. But what is wrong with my money tree? I've only had it about 2/3 weeks, I water it about once a week, and I've only used a 3 in 1 neem oil spray on it when I brought it home.

Can someone help me figure out what’s going on with this plant? The leaves won’t unfurl and now the stalk is discolored, I am not sure what to do. I know it’s a more difficult plant but I’m a new plant mom and I would like to keep it alive as it was a gift

hello! i got this fittonia cutting from a plant swap about a month ago and it’s been in water. it has these weird white spots that won’t come off and the leaves are starting to turn yellow and feel crispier, i moved it to a new spot in case it was getting burned by the sun. i’ve never had one of these before, what could be wrong/what should i do? :(

Does anyone know what could be causing this to happen to my spilt leaf philodendron? It appears on some of my Xanadu as well.
I have been diligently treating all of my plants with neem oil and horticultural oil, alternately, as I have had a big outbreak in mealy bugs, even though I haven’t seen evidence of those on these plants.
The younger leaves have been turning very yellow and dying off, though I haven’t seen that in the last week or so after sprinkling diatomaceous earth around the base.
Do I have a pest/nourishment combination situation here? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I’m a new plant parent. Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong? Should I put this back in soil?

Does anyone know what’s wrong with my ficus tineke (rubber plant)? I started noticing these orange /rusty /brown spots about a year ago but it was very mild with only a few leaves with it so I thought it was normal. Now it’s a lot worse. The new leaves / growth at the top look normal (last picture) but the rest have these spots. I also noticed some crispy dark brown spots so I was thinking maybe it was getting too much sun - but I think the orange spots are something different. Any ideas? Thank you in advance for your help!

Ugh I hope these works. I’ve tried Neem oil and Mighty Mint Plant Protection Spray but these gnats are not going away 🫤

Help! For the last few months I’ve have a big problem with fungus gnats in my indoor plants. I’m using neem oil spray, diluted H2O2 spray, and yellow sticky papers. It’s happening to a lot of my plants so there isn’t one culprit that I can isolate away.
Aside from repotting everything in new soil are there any other options to tame the madness? Thanks!

Hello! Newbie here, hoping to get some input on a couple plants. First is a jalapeño plant. My first flower is dying before the second one even starts to bloom. Am I doing something wrong? Is it normal for the flowers to die so fast? My first time growing any peppers.
Second one is a squash plant. As you can see in the second picture, some of the leaves are looking rough on the edges. Almost look burnt/real dry. Is it getting too much sun? Not enough water?
Both plants are in a raised garden bed and in full light area. Any help is appreciated!

Jade plant has some scale. I assume this is just from hard water in the Midwest and not pests? Doesn’t move and doesn’t look organic. Even under magnification

So I keep finding sticky plants and I've had mealys on some already so I decided not to even bother googling which plans I could put the neem oil or the diluted alcohol solution on, I decided to spray the crap out of all of my well over 100 houseplants with DE for a few weeks, I used that little accordion blower thing to get all the nooks and crannies and the pots especially the terracotta ones my God 😭 now they look like they have a thick layer of cocaine on them 🙄 I sure hope this works so do I leave it on for 2 weeks like Google said? Will it photosynthesize okay still or is this going to affect the health of my plan having a layer of powder on them 🤷♀️ I'm so sad.. someone tell me it's going to be okay LOL 🙏🧡
