I recently purchased this Hawaiian palm from an online store and when I got it, I checked the soil and it was dry before I watered it with filtered water. A couple of days ago, my Cassie’s leaves are turning yellow. I have just cut 2 off and not sure about this third leaf. I have also checked for pests and cannot see anything. Can anyone help with letting me know what’s wrong, please 😭😭?

Hi all! Took a look at my Krimson Princess Hoya today and I noticed all those spots. They rub off easily with my finger. My first thought was a pest of some sort, but I dot see anything that looks bug like or 3D at all - just these splotches. They are all over and I didn’t notice them any other day this week when I’ve been looking at all of my plants. Thoughts?

Hello! Not a pest question! As you can see from my pics my zzz plant isn’t that beautiful anymore. I had to trim some of the stems because they got super long and curly but I didn’t trim them correctly so I had to chop it down. Just wondering what I can do to make it look nicer. Repot? (It’s still growing new leaves it’s not a lost cause yet!)

I’ve had my neon pothos for a few weeks now and have been wondering what the damage on these leaves are from! I’ve been watering with mosquito bits and spraying with diluted neem while it’s in quarantine, but I’m still nervous to put it with the rest of my collection. I decided to cut off the worst ones today. What are these dots?

I currently keep finding these weird black bugs that crawl into the soil of my plants. I’ve tried putting on cinnamon on the plant soil and it’s still not working and I’ve tried sticky traps. How do I get rid of these stupid little piss

When I put my flowers into the pot, for some reason, they started to die with water and sunlight. I don’t know what to do.

What can I do to help hydrate her? She is a Walmart rescue! I’ve had her for 3 weeks or so now. I cut off her shoots today since one was dying and the other was long and lanky with no blooms and watered her very thoroughly. She’s wrinkled and very thin and floppy. Is watering her more frequently the only bet I have to help her?

My Norfolk pine tree has been looking sooooo sad for the past couple months and I’m at a loss of what to do!! I put a humidifier next to it and am misting it every day which seems to be helping. Any advice???

Very new to ZZ plants. Is it normal for my ZZ plant to have a single tall stem? I bought two back in March and both have single stems that have gotten very tall and today one of them drooped over the the side. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong. The first two pictures are of the one plant that is drooping and the last picture is what it looked like in March.

Hello 👋🤗 I am having issues with thrips, any tips on treatment? I usually rinse any infested plants then treat with horticultural soap, always a bit cautious on using anything hardcore, any tips would be marvellous 😀💚

I keep seeing a little bug flying around my plant stand and can’t find where it’s coming from?? How do I kill whatever it is? I’ve heard of using cinnamon, so do you just sprinkle cinnamon on the soil and let it be? If anyone has any suggestions that are not expensive and easy to find at a classic Hannaford, that would be greatly appreciated!

This WAS an anthurium if you can believe it. It’s been begcleted horridly by Home Depot. Roots were surprisingly very healthy but stems are rotted almost all of its leaves brown and crisped in a pot six times too big. I’ve since removed all dead leaves taken the healthiest leaves I can find but some of the stems are black and loosely hanging on. Is there any hope?

Hi everyone. Does this look like pest damage? I haven’t seen any insects but there’s definitely something going on here. Some of the spots on the stems are sticky.
