Hi all, new to plants and recently got this lovely Parlor Palm! However, it’s been rapidly developing brown/yellow leaves, and also some brown spots. It gets lots of sun, so I thought maybe it was from being in direct sunlight and scorching the leaves. Moved it to a spot with bright, indirect sunlight, but it doesn’t seem to be looking any better…. Any thoughts or advice? *EDIT* I added a photo of its roots too…. Lmk!!

Some of indoor plants have tiny bugs that fly, but like to stay on the surface of the dirt, does anybody know what these are or how I can treat them? I couldn’t get a photo. They are very small

Does anyone know what these are? They are all over my fence and trailing down to my fatsia japonica. Google lens says it’s a deer tick but I know that’s not it. TIA

NOW what? Y’all. I have been battling pests since May! Now I just noticed this! What could this be? 😢 My poor plants. I bet they’d run and hide if they could when they saw me rolling up to the nursery.

i’ve heard that bottom watering your string of turtles and pearls is good for them. i have tried it once and it made me nervous because it was so heavy and so soaked. is this okay and normal? i just don’t know anything about bottom watering but want to try it if it will help my plants!

HELP! My mini monstera and zebra plant were doing well but recently their health has declined. Mini monstera has yellowing leaves and small new leaves and the zebra plant has small pale new leaves. Sunlight and watering hasn’t changed. No signs of pests but starting to think that might be the case?? Multiple Planta diagnosis of my mini monstera said it’s a lack of light but the most recent diagnosis said it might have thrips. I can’t see any thrips with a magnifying glass but maybe I’m missing them??

Hi everyone, Does anyone else have problems with mold growing on top of their soil? What can I do to prevent this? I have googled it before and it told me to add cinnamon to the top soil. I’ve done that but mold still comes back. Any advice helps. Sincerely, So tired of scraping off mold.

Hello! My rhipsalis is one of my favorites and she isn’t doing too well. My mom is plant sitting and this has happened all within the past week or so. I’m not sure what to do - please help! My best guess is that maybe the soil is needing a change? She was under a grow light and now she’s not but I don’t think that would cause this kind of problem. I’ve got no clue!

I got several new succulents for $6 around a week ago, because the seller told me almost all of them needed help. I tried to figure out what type of succulent this is and picked the closest looking one from here. Two identification apps have said it looks sick, and I have no idea what’s wrong. Can someone tell me what it is or what I can do?
