My peperomia has been losing leaves for weeks. I tried everything from moving its location to changing the soil but today I finally decided to just cut what was left and propagate it, and then repot the stems into a smaller pot. Please let me know any tips to try and get this little guy healthier. I’m also not entirely sure if the original stems will still leaf, but I repotted them anyways.

This is the most DISGUSTING thing I’ve seen on my plants!! Freakin aphids eww! I hosed them down violently (*while yelling in horror of course*) followed by an hour session of neem oil to EVERY SINGLE LEAF 😮💨🤞🏼 My Apple tree was growing all weird and had a lot of yellowing leaves so I went to check it and I saw a bunch of black ants… and I remembered 💡they eat the honeydew from the aphids. So I flipped a leaf to verify my suspicions and ohhhhh lorddddd….. 🤢… sheesh!! They remind me of ticks 🤮. Anyways, Here are the repulsive images for your amusement.

Hello, so, I seem to have a infestation of fungus gnats that are laying eggs in all my plants, iv tried 2 different pesticides, anyone have any recommendations on what I can do to kill these dang root eating monsters?

My mother in law gave me her corn plant to try and revive it. There’s a lot of damage though and Planta says it’s inconsistent watering. She did just about everything wrong you can to a plant (bless her heart.) ie moved it, under ac/ heater, moved again, root bound etc
I let it sit outside in shade/ indirect light. It has fungus gnats. Just watered with peroxide and added peppermint oil for bugs. She says it has drainage wholes (she just repotted) but I soaked it and no water came out. I was hesitant to do so as my meter said the base was damp.
Any advice as I’ve never cared for a dracanea. Is it too far gone?

I just got this beautiful moth orchid from my dad for my birthday! However, upon inspecting the roots, I definitely need to do some emergency care. I have attempted to grow an orchid before, needless to say, it died because of these same conditions. What/ how do I go about cutting the rotting roots, what soil mixture should I use, and do you have any recommendations on orchid pots with a little more air circulation? I just brought it into the light for pictures, it’s going to stay away from direct bright light!

My coral bush I received from my sister had leaves on it when I got it. I planted it outside and the leaves wilted. I researched and found that where I live in Florida is too hot to be outside so I repotted it and put it inside. Now it looks very very dead. How can I revive it? I put it in vermiculite and coco perlite.

Help! Is there anything I can do to save this Peace Lily? I received her from someone who no longer wanted her, (first picture) I switched her pot and soil and put her on a watering and fertilizer schedule but her steams just kept dying. I have finally cut her back to just a small base (2nd photo) please help!! She is also under a grow light that is on for 3 hours a day

I repotted my tradescantia nanouk because its leaves were browning and it had obviously outgrown its old pot.
Yet it had continued to decline in health despite its new home. It is now down to one sprout and I really don’t want it to die.
I just moved it into my living room to get it out of direct sunlight. I would appreciate any other advice you all have to offer

Any help is very appreciated!
Recently repotted my fig tree but it started dropping and browning. I repotted with the specific soil made for fig tree.

I got these plants about a month ago and I started noticing these bugs everywhere? It seemed like they were killing some of them, especially my strawberry plants. I think they’re attracted to the wet soil but I’m not sure. What type of bug is this?

Help!! My jade plant is leaning. I got her about two months ago and she was standing straight and today i noticed she’s kind of drooping. Is this normal? Please help and any advice, i’m a new plant mom

Hello! I have an orchid that is super confusing. I rescued it as my first orchid(I know, questionable choice) but she had super gross rotting roots but I treated her, and she had been doing great until recently. Her leaves are a bit wrinkly and there is a little bit of yellow around the outside of one. But it is confusing because she is growing two new leaves and they look healthy. Please help! I can report if needed but I don’t want to if I don’t have to. Thank you!

Are these just ants? Aphids? Something else?
I just found these today. Looks like they’re only on one of my bean plants as of rn. It’s the one that’s flowering the most. I know some ants are beneficial but I know they can also farm aphids so…
If I need to get rid of them I want to avoid pesticides. I’m trying to only garden organically. Besides I have pets so I don’t want to spray anything super toxic. Please help!

Okay plant fam — I need your help. I’m a very new plant mom and I’ve run into a mystery…
2/
This little plant sprouted out of nowhere in my succulent pot — like it just appeared one day. I had no idea what it was, but it looked cute and determined, so I decided to repot it.
3/
Ever since I gave it its own home, though… it’s been looking kinda sad. 🥲
The top looks okay, but one of the bottom leaves turned yellow and now I’m worried I messed something up.
4/
Can anyone tell me:
🔹 What kind of plant this is?
🔹 What might be wrong with it after repotting?
🔹 How can I help it thrive?

Here’s a photo for reference 📸
(I promise I’m giving it love — just clearly not the right kind yet!)
🙏 Any advice welcome!
