Little worm looking bugs all over my monstera leaves, is this concerning? This is definitely one of the worse leaves, some of them don’t seem to have any

I just shared a problem with this plant, some blotches on a leaf. Then I decided I'd better take it out of the window and when I got a closer look it looks like white aphids again. Neem spray and quarantine?

So I have about a half dozen plants in quarantine, most had mealy bugs but one had white aphids. I just looked through my whole window and didn't see a sign of any more bugs but then I came to my chocolate velvet plant and saw this. Anyone know what's going on?

Help please!! My ponytail palm is very droopy and is in desperate need of care, is there anything extra I could do to make it better? We had to remove part of it last year as that part wast doing so well.

My Hibiscus has a white powder on all the buds. Otherwise it looks ok with some mature flowers.

Does anyone have experience with Leopard lilies/ledebouria. I purchased this online and I dont know if it’s just really stressed from shipping or what. I’m afraid it’ll lose all of these leaves. They’re soft and just not bouncing back. Roots are white and healthy. Second photo is what I expected.

Managed to save this plant from a fungal infection and spider mites. See all the new growth? But how does it pay me back?!?! It gets mealy bugs! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thankfully I have had an absolute ton of practice dealing with them lately. So far there have been five plants in that bay window with them and I'm not sure why. Haven't added any new plants. 🤷‍♀️ I'm running out of quarantine space. Oh and I also got to deal with my first case of white aphids. What the heck!!!!

Hi! I have been having an issue with my golden lace cactus as of late. The first two pictures are from when I first got it. It was super green and stood straight up. I put the cactus on my windowsill in my office, so it could get lots of natural light and warmth. Sometimes it would droop to one side, but usually when I gave it a little bit of water or turned it, it would straighten itself out. Lately, I’ve noticed that it looks almost deflated, like it has shrunk. It’s stature is twisty instead of straight, and I’ve botched there’s little bumps/knobs that seem to be growing on it. It has also lost a lot of its green color. The last two pictures is my cactus now with all those things. I’m still somewhat new to plants, so I’m not sure what could be wrong. Please help!

Are these thrips? 😭 help I’ve never had pests before. I thought this succulent was just unhappy because I’ve neglected watering it for a long time. I can’t attach the video but they are tiny and crawling around the leaves

I recently moved a few plants back inside to get ready for fall and it looks like my soil is molding. I had a similar issue last year with most of my house plants but it resolved as soon as I moved the plants outside. Any idea what I could do to prevent this or what is going on?

Hi! Can anyone tell me if these are possible to revive/propagate or if they’re goners? I usually “forget” to water so that the soil dries out completely. But a few days ago I reached under the leaves to check the soil and was surprised when I uprooted them with a gentle touch. I just thought the lower leaves were just dying off with age, but… was it a sign of the roots rotting off?

I got this air plant not too long ago, and I keep making sure to dry it out completely so it doesn’t get rot- but I’m still finding that it’s getting super crispy! Any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong or how I can fix this? 🥺
