Hello, After my last watering, 2 of my plants have mold on the soil. I removed most of the mold with a plastic spoon. But, how do I prevent this from happening again and how can I treat the remaining mold? Thanks

One leaf of my chinese evergreen has turned yellow! What am i doing wrong? Will i need to cut this leaf out? Ps: i follow what Planta says and i have this on sunlight today (just for a few minutes) while I dont have anyone to see in my office

I know millipedes are not pests but it’s getting ridiculous how many there are in my monstera. Probably 100. And then I’ll dry my plant out, they all shrivel up, I water my plant again, 100 more appear overnight. None of my other houseplants plants have this going on! I think I left my monstera outside for a couple nights a few weeks ago and that’s how they got in it, and must’ve laid eggs (there’s no trail of them getting into the pot and the pot isn’t near an entrance). And the life cycle keeps continuing. My monstera is basically thriving but I don’t want her to dry out just so I can kill the millipedes :( idk what to dooooo

Is there any saving her?? got super busy beginning of the month and didn’t water for 2 weeks and she’s super unhappy. I usually have trouble with this plant in particular but it’s never looked this bad. I watered today, just wondering if there’s anything I can do to get it to perk up again

I bought this Gardena for my mother recently and it hasn’t been doing well. I keep it indirect sunlight like my local garden center said to and I water regularly. I think it may be thrips (there is spots on the bottom of the leaves) please tell me what you think !

Help! My monstera is getting brown spots on the edges of the variegation, what am I doing wrong? Planta doc said too much light but I’m not so sure. It’s in a super chunky mix and I try to let it dry before watering. Part sun window, with only a couple hours of direct light, if that.

I don’t know hats wrong but I feel like my plant isn’t very happy right now and I’m not too sure why. Some of the larger leaves lack structure and a few leaves with browning tips and I’m not too sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Hey all, so I have my first orchid and I definitely listened to the wrong people and had potting mix in this. I repotted it after I got it. This was one of my first plants so didn’t really know the rules of not doing that, using the orchid mix etc. I’ve just repotted it tonight with the proper mix, and gave it a water. Is this one hopefully gonna make it or seems like a goner? I don’t see any rot when I took it out and the roots looked thick and green

My 20 year old rubber plant which is usually very happy has developed some marks on its leaves & I can’t figure out what the problem is. I’ve been careful with watering & started feeding the soil again once spring started. Any advice would be great, it’s part of the family!

I have been told about 2 planters of succulents in an office setting. They have had fresh soil in the past 2 months and unfortunately had not been in good light. They were just moved to very good light now and have been doing good. Unfortunately one has had lost 2 of the succulents (see picture). They also.appear to have produced small flying gnats and possible ant like pests. The ant like pests come up from the soil when the planter is lightly shaken. I need help on this one. Been reading alot of tips. But would like to tell the office people what to do.

Hey y’all!! So I am located in southeast Idaho so it is dry ALL the time (it is currently 19% humidity), super hot in the summer, and super cold in the winter. I few months ago I was gifted a Boston fern. They are gorgeous so I understand why but I also know that Idaho is really not the place for them! Brandon the Boston Fern has been doing okay for the conditions he has been given but today I noticed crispy tips😭 I mist him probably once or twice a week and follow plantas water schedule as long as it’s needed (has been everytime lol). If anyone has any tips and tricks let me know!

I’ve had this basil for about 3 weeks, always inside. It started to get black spots on it this week. Is this bacterial? It has plenty of light and drainage.

This poor plant is an attempted rescue - the last potential survivor from a plant catastrophe in my mother in law’s rented house where the light didn’t reach and the heating wasn’t on downstairs through the winter. I had to cut the plastic pot off to repot it, and even being as gentle as possible, only shreds of the root system remained intact. I’m a monstera and pothos kind of plant parent and don’t know much about succulents - the first photos are the rescue operation and the final photo is today. It’s looking pretty grey and toppling out of its pot if moved too quickly. Is it alive or am I just propping up a dead plant? If there’s hope for it, how much should I water it while waiting for roots to develop?

Hi all! I recently picked up this beauty off Facebook marketplace. It says tropical foliage on the tag - I think it’s a bird of paradise. It has browning leaves but also a new leaf is still coming into fruition so there’s a lot of hope! I am still fairly new to planting and this task seems daunting so I want to make sure I do everything right. Any recs for getting her back to health? I am going to add a lot more soil to the pot & she is in a sunny sunny room but otherwise im not sure of the next steps!!!
