Ok this is my PROBLEM money tree. It was probably overwatered, but I have corrected that. Have I over corrected? Or is this just old overwatering damage? It’s so ugly lol

Hello. I have a couple lucky bamboo plants in water and on one plant a couple of the top leaves are starting to turn purple. I read online that it’s a phosphorus deficiency. Does anyone have any recommendations on remedies?

What is this spot on my red sword? She has gotten all droopy today and I’m wondering if it has anything to do with whatever this is?

Hello everyone! Thank you to those who provided me tips before! I started to water less and I also used mosquito dunks to get the gnats away. They are totally gone now. I also transferred my lemon plant into a smaller pot, changed the soil to a citrus and cactus one so it has better drainage, and cut off some of the brown tips. Unfortunately the plant still isn’t growing. After it lost most of its leaves, it hasn’t grown any more of them back and it’s been the same height for a long time. I’m not sure what to do anymore.

I think I may have spider mites or something creating webs in my plant… what should I do? :(( I went through and wiped down all the leaves with damn paper towels and cleaned my plant. I don’t wanna get rid of her, she’s thriving more than ever rn, but I don’t want bugs

UPDATE Checked my marble queen pothos a second time after brown spots on foliage and discovered minor root rot that I didn’t catch the first time I checked it. I removed all the damaged leaves, dark roots, added HP and put the remaining in water. Although I didn’t clean off the dirt 100% off the roots, here are current pics… Definitely a learning experience for me. Any tips?

I think my plant has Mealey bugs. I sprayed with Neem and the plant has been isolated for a week in a half. Is there anything else I can do? I am a new plant mom.

My roommate's Silver Splash has this cream/ yellowish fuzzy mold growing all over in the new mix it was just repotted with. The potting mix is coco coir + perlite + potting mix. Other plants were repotted with the same mix and none of them have mold. The silver splash seems otherwise healthy so far... Is this an issue? If yes, how do we treat it?

I was checking my rattlesnake and found this. Do you guys have any idea what this might be? I thought about spider mites perhaps? But I didn’t find any pestes in my plant.

Orange aphids are my current nemesis. They have invaded my Hoya Bella and Hoya Krohniana Super Silver (Eskimo). The two plants are not close to each other. The Bella was in the back of the house in winter while the Krohniana was at the front windows. They were both outside about 30 feet from each other when orange aphids appeared on the new growth. They are on my first ever peduncle to start from nothing and begin blooming in my house since I started collecting hoyas almost a year ago!😭 They are killing my joy! So, I’m returning the favor. I sprayed with isopropyl alcohol yesterday. There were aphids still jiggling their butts this morning. They would not wash off under the faucet. So, I decided to soak both plants under soapy Dawn dishwater for a couple of hours to suffocate everything in the soil and above it. Hoyas make me work work work work work work!

Anyone know what pest this is? It’s all over the stems and leaves of my Bird of Paradise. I have been washing them off with water but not sure how to get rid of them.

Hello! My mom is trying to grow raspberries and blueberries in pots. They died the first time she tried but now they’ve recovered. The problem is in and under the pots are hundreds-thousands of ants in addition to maggots. Does anyone have any advice in either getting rid of these creatures and/or replanting ?

Hoping someone can help me. I have two Royal Purple plants planted in a pot on my patio. I noticed that there were little brown spots on the leaves. Does anyone know what it could be? Is it possibly from me getting water on the leaves when watering? Or something else? Any help is appreciated😊 Thank you.

Just found all these tiny bugs I think they’re aphids? Any idea how to get rid of them? I just isolated the plant so hopefully this is the only one :(

My Zz plant has brown leaves and I was wondering what is a safe way to remove them so that they will grow back healthy.

So my lucky bamboos is turning yellow.I thought it was cuz I was over watering it so I stopped watering it for a good almost week now. It was turning back green then now it’s back to yellow and I still haven’t watered it.It just a little sunlight like it should.

Anybody know what’s going on with my Tradescantia Nanouk? She’s in a southwest facing window. I water when she’s dry. First time with this plant so not sure what’s going on!
