I noticed these weird whitish gray bumps on my cactus, I thought it was some kind of pest or something caused by a pest, I picked a few off and they didn’t move but the photo looks quite like some kind of pest. But I have no idea what it is and how to treat it.

I want to know what bug this is and how I can get rid of it thank you. And the plant is a Chinese hibiscus.

I recently bought a little microscope to help me better identify certain pests on my plants. It’s not the best quality image, but does this look like a spider mite?

Lost cause? I reckon I missed a watering on my relatively new Calathea rosy and it’s freaked out. I’ve trimmed back some of the dying leaves to allow all energy to go to the one trying to come out of the centre stem and currently have it in a makeshift tupperware greenhouse to try and increase humidity. Swapped the soil from the nursery and checked the roots, they were darker than I thought but strong and not mushy, so I don’t think it’s been rot. Any advice is greatly appreciated. It’s been like this for ten days.

How do I save my aloe Vera? Currently watering it from bottom. Is this ok?

There’s life, just not sure how to repot. It was on clearance and I grabbed it to save but any opinions on what would work? Smaller pot, soil refresh, anything else they need?

On clearance and was infected, I’ve been isolating it and using neem oil. I’m pretty sure it’s thrips? Under the leaves. Any other suggestions, or how long to do this neem oil. Change soil? I had one before and it did not do well so I’m trying to everything the right way.

Found this coming out of the bottom of my birds nest snake plant today. The plant was gifted to us back in the fall and is still in the original container. Some type of fungus but does this mean my plant is toast? Help!

hi :) two days ago i had to excavate a lot of my adansoniis root system because a lot of it got hit with root rot :( i know theres gonna be a shock period, but i feel like theres something else not quite right. i gave her a little bit of fish fertilizer and water right after repotting with my own soil mix just to settle the soil, not enough to saturate. let me know what u guys think :(

Hi! how do I best get rid of spider mites? I watered my plants with systemic granules and clearly that isn’t helping. Any other advice?

Hey y’all! I’ve had this Yucca tree for about 6 months and in the last few weeks have had a good bit of yellowing. I haven’t changed anything. It’s been in this spot and watering when planta tells me to (as long as the soils not wet.) Is this normal aging/because we are in summer time and things are shifting? or do I need to troubleshoot?

Should I be concerned? Hello! Obsessing over my new baby aloe because I lost my last aloe of 5 years, are these brown spots a problem?!!

Hii everyone! I just needed some help on something~ i was given some tulips for my birthday a few days ago (rly wanted to try some flowers for once~) For some reason though, only the petals have kind of turned dull in color and fallen off. Both the leaves and stems look strong and healthy, but her petals are ALL gone. I’m not too worried since I have no problem starting from scratch with her bulbs next time but I’d like to know some possible causes so that this doesn’t happen when I try again. Any and all help is appreciated 🥺

Any help would be greatly appreciated…I’ve been trying for months to figure out what’s causing these brown, dry tips to form on nearly every leaf (new and established) of my African Mask ‘Mandalay’. NOTE: 1) I follow the watering guidelines on Planta (have also researched watering instructions online to ensure accuracy), 2) fertilizing via fertilizer sticks, and 3) located near a window that gets plenty of sunlight.
