Crazy alocasia lady
I’d love opinions on what could be going on with my black velvet alocasia leaves.
About three months ago, all my new leaves started to get yellow/white dots. Even my corm propagations. I thought ugh spider mites so I treated all my plants for 3 consecutive weeks with alcohol, soap and water sprays. It keeps happening even after this.
I decided to repot and look at the roots, no root rot.
I use a low concentration fertilizer with every watering which is about every 2 weeks due to the humidity here in Florida. These are inside babies but get an open window for natural humidity. Chunky plant soil.

My airplant is kind of drying up and turning brown. How do I save it. Should I mist it? If so how often?

I’m having some issues with leaf drying and curling. I am seeing lots of new growth, repotted about a week ago but had the same issue prior to repot. It is about 8” from the led lamp, measured about 9 to 1k lumens at top of leaves. Variegation is consistent. I think I may need to mist more frequently (currently 1x per wk) but would entertain any other suggestions. No pests are present.

Does this kalanchoe need to be cut back? If so, how much do
I cut off? It’s very healthy

Hey all! I have some cucumbers that have started to turn yellow a bit around the edges of the leaves! Any ideas on why and what I could do to fix it would be great!
I’m going to repot once they’re a bit bigger and it’s hotter outside. New to growing veggies without my grandpa so it’s a learning curve

Are these signs of flat mite infestation?
I got this Hoya a week ago from Home Depot and noticed these brown spots on the underside of some of the leaves. Is there anything else I can do to identify them and what are some recommended treatment? Thank you!

What in the fig am I doing wrong with this variegated Peace Lily?
This is my second peace lily because the first one turned into a war lily and won the war by dying spitefully. I tried everything from regular watering to less frequent, low humidity, high humidity, more light, less light, no light, fertilizer, no fertilizer, filtered water, rain water, toilet water, no water, pruning, repotting, and even leaving soothing music on and giving it positive compliments.. but NOTHING stopped that first piece of sage from hating everything and laughing at me while it died.
Now this second one— let’s call it a Hostile Lily… wait… Hostilily?— this giant pain in my asparagus refuses to thrive, and keeps trying to beat the drums of war. It’s in a well draining pot, has healthy roots, good soil pH and composition but the ends of each leaf slowly keep turning brown.
There’s gotta be something obvious I’m missing right? If anyone has any clues, please let me know before I bust out the white flag and chuck this weeping ash birch in the dumpster.
Thanks

Help! Something is terribly wrong with my succulent. I’ve had it for years and it’s produced mini versions of itself. Nothing particularly has changed recently, but it’s started turning yellow/brown for seemingly no reason. I pulled off most of the dead parts this morning (the first picture shows this, the second picture shows before I pulled them). Any idea on what’s going on here and what to do? Thank you!!

Just barely got these. The leaves have started to turn purple and dry on these begonias. Why are they dying?

I need help! I’m not sure what’s going on with my Monstera Thai Con. This is now my second leaf that gets like that. The first time I just cut it off because it wasn’t aesthetically pleasing lol but this time I’m not sure why it’s happening again and it’s a lot more soggy/soft in the black/dark parts feel the only pests I’m currently dealing with are fungus gnats & roots still look very healthy.

HELP!!! she was good a few days ago. I saw spider mites so I gave her neem oil (not the first time) they have been without light for 3 days. I recently had a surgery so my care might not be up there.

This is my first go at gardening, so I’m not very knowledgeable in this. I planted these a couple weeks ago along with other vegetables. I noticed this damage on these two and was curious if anyone had any idea what this is from and if you have a solution for the problem. Thank you for your help

Relatively new plant dad. I have a Pothos that has never had any issues for the past year.
Now I have a couple blemishes. Is this just part of plant life or is it the beginning of something bigger?

Hi! Mint plant was thriving and then I repotted two or three days ago… and now it droopy… is it over watered??
Plant princess
Does anyone know why the leaves are falling off this echeveria roundleaf? They are turning yellow, black, and wilting before they fall off.
