Help! I bought a plant at Trader Joe’s and I’ve had it for a few weeks and just found spider mites! I panic washed it off before I could take a picture and I don’t see any on any other plants. How long and how far away should I quarantine it from my other plants?

Plant grow please

Will these guys propagate? Am trying to save one of my plants and you guys said try to take the good piece and bit the. In water will these work?

I’m new to monsteras and I decided “rescue” this Thai Constellation from Home Depot. She had some browning and was pretty droopy. She was definitely overwatered so I repotted to a better draining mix and a new pot and removed the dying leaves. I didn’t see any root rot but I’m new so maybe I missed it. For lighting, she’s been in a corner of a south facing room in Northern Nevada so should be good lighting I think but I have a grow light just in case for this plant corner too. Today it’s cloudy so I moved to the middle of the room to get her some extra rays in case that’s an issue. It’s been an about a week and still pretty droopy so I’m just looking for some thoughts on how long it usually takes to recover or if there’s something else I should be doing!!

Hi I have this plant but it seems to be loosing leaves. Am I over watering it? I normally leave until it’s bone dry. When watering I let it stand in water for about 30mins and then drain.

I could totally be helicoptering but would rather be safe than sorry! Any idea what might be going on here with my anthurium clarinervium? Looks like a second leaf is slowly coming in but this one has been slowly yellowing more. I got her in July and the last pic is what she looked like then.

Does anybody know what’s wrong with my begonia? We have been watering it adequately and it’s been getting enough light daily. Is it getting too much light? Does anybody have any recommendation on what to do at this point? It seems to be wilted or dry but it’s getting enough water. Is it possibly too close to the light? I took a picture of where it is under the grow light. It gets 12 to 16 hours of light.

I have tried to post my question in various groups, but it isn’t showing up. I have a spider plant outside, and I suspect caterpillars or snails are eating it. How do I treat this?

I have a pothos in semi hydro with LECA and I saw these small bugs crawling around near the water. Rinsed the bottom container out last night but they’re back this morning. I think I may have thrips on some of my other plants, but not sure if these are also thrips?? I thought thrips only lived in the foliage, so I’m confused as to how they could be all the way down in the container like this. Or maybe it’s a different type of pest?? Please advise! Also this plant is under a grow light in a greenhouse IKEA cabinet for 12 hours per day

Help! I bought my new allocasia from Aldi about 1-2 weeks ago. She has a lot of new growth, but also had a few bad leaves that I cut off. The last leaf turned yellow and mushy and I cut it off but that one was already yellow when I bought it. Now, im noticing small dry brown patches. Does anyone know why and what I should do to help prevent them from getting bigger?

So this poor fella was attacked by my toddler. The leaves that fell are in propagation. She is under growth light 10-12 hrs. What can I expect from her? Is she gonna grow new leaves in his stem?

Cinnamon anyone? Fungus gnats. We've noticed a bit of an uptick in our fungus gnats lately - I've been trying to let our soil dry out a bit more while we focus on moving, in hopes we can purge the little buggers prior to the move but I'm looking for some extra ammo. I've heard cinnamon is good, but is that okay for all soil plants? Do I sprinkle it before or after watering? Should I put out some essential oils? Any help is appreciated, thank you!!!
