Hi guys, I was watering my Asian Ponysfoot and while I was removing dead leaves few insects just fell to the ground. Is that Aphids? 😄 I applied BugFree Insecticide and put on quarantine (away from my other plants).

My newest pothos has this weird spot of discoloration on two leaves. It’s in a low light self watering pot and I’ve been spraying it with a pesticide since it’s been in quarantine. It hasn’t grown or gotten bigger but it hasn’t gotten on any more plants. I recently repotted it and it looked healthy so I’m not sure what the problem is.

Please help šŸŖ“ā˜€ļø I just recently moved to a new apartment and I think the move was a little tough on my plants. This one in particular, Quincy - a bird of paradise, is having the hardest time. It’s been super hot in the apartment as we haven’t gotten AC yet. Her leaves are curling and the newest leaf is turning yellow. She is also starting to lean which she has never done before. Any tips on either how to cool it down or prevent leaves from yellowing?

Hi all! Please help 😭 my snake plant is not doing well, we repotted roughly 2-3 weeks ago (she was way overdue for a repotting and she was doing really well) We are planning to repot her tonight/tomorrow but any tips for this would be really appreciated! Thank you so much

What could be causing this? She’s in an east window receiving morning light. Boulder County.

I have this moth orchid, and when i bought her, she had every flower and looked pretty overall healthy, but then about two weeks after i got her some of her flowers began to wilt and then fall. Can somebody tell me what i might be doing wrong, or if this is normal? She’s watered twice a week, and i always make sure all water drains out of her soil before putting her back.

I repotted my fiddle fig about a week ago. Since then, it’s become extremely droopy. The leaves were turning brown, and it was dropping them. I used a soil meter to check the soil moisture, and it was extremely wet, which is why I repotted it. Surprisingly, the roots looked perfectly healthy. Is it just upset about being repotted? I also removed a few offshoots because the plant was very bushy, and the new growth at the bottom couldn’t get enough sunlight. I watered it yesterday because I was away for a week, and the soil dried out. I thought maybe the drooping was due to lack of water, but it still hasn’t perked back up!

One of my palms has raised black dots on it. Google says this is likely a fungus. I’ve cut out the leaves with black dots and sprayed it with hydrogen peroxide. Has anyone had success getting rid of this are there any other suggestions?

Can anyone help me identify why some of her leaves are turning brown, mushy and others dry and brittle on the ends? Any help is really appreciated!! She’s one of my favorites and I really don’t want her to die on me. Also should I take those leaves off so they don’t make her more sick? Update so she’s doing not so great.. I have her in my humidity dome and she’s just not happy. I try low light, bright, indirect and her leaves still feel really dry and are curling and browning at the ends till they die off. I’ve also checked the roots so idk what it could be

I moved my ZZ plant onto a table that gets low light recently and noticed browning on the leaves. I think it’s just shock but I’m not sure. I checked underneath it to see if roots were coming out because it was root bound and noticed these fuzzy things. Does anyone know what they are?

Can anyone please tell me what we have here? Was not there a week ago- the plant is kept outdoors on my porch for the summer, so I would think insect related.? Thoughts and what should I do to help- it’s got quite a bit of these things! Thank youšŸ˜”

Hi y’all, I hope I can get some assistance. I’ve been growing these apple trees for 6 years now and my largest did grow very few last year. There were no blossoms on either trees, and I started noticing issues with my largest. Does anyone have any idea what’s going on and what I can do? The last pic is my other tree for comparison.

This is one of my Kale plants. Does anyone know what these are? They just appeared and it looks like whatever planted them have been eating the leaves up as well. Any help is appreciated.

What’s wrong with my Monstera?! We currently moved and I had to leave my plants at my old house for about 2 1/2 weeks unattended. I came back to get them and she looked like thisā€¦šŸ˜• I’m pretty sure not being watered and not enough light but could this be a pest or fungus doing this? Thanks!

my jade pothos had small white (not moving) clumps on her leaves and stems, white mushy spots that would wipe off from touch, tiny yellowish/white egg things in the soil, little brown specks, and some brown holes and scars on her leaves. my first reaction was to spray down with neem oil, so i did- but foolishly i didn't get any pictures of the larger white spots. here are the best photos of them i can get. my initial idea was mealy bugs but i didn't see anything that actually moved. what does this sound like to you? thanks in advance, i really appreciate any help identifying the problem!

i water my calathea once a week but it is still dying. i’ve moved it from a lot of sunlight to now just partial but it’s still not flourishing. whenever i water it a orange liquid comes out the drainage hole. I repotted it a few months ago thinking it will help but it hasn’t. Does anyone know what’s going on? Please help, new plant mom here!!!
