Just got this golden Pothos, but I’m noticing some tiny brown spots on it, should I be worried?

I got a Lantana a little bit ago, but one leaf turned suspiciously yellow and brown.. none of the others are like it. Does anyone know what it is or what I should do?

This new croton looked good when I bought it a few weeks ago, but now it’s rapidly dropping leaves and I’m not sure what’s wrong. I’ve been using a water meter, but it seems to be very unhappy.

I was checking out my Venus fly trap when I noticed a lot of very tiny silver bugs. Are these springtails or soil mites? I know they are hard to see in the photo (circled in red for reference). They did only seem to be climbing throughout the soil and avoiding the plant.

Need to pot this Monstera but looking for insight in how to properly repot. How big of a pot should I use? How high up the plant stalks should the soil go?

Any ideas what my peace lily is trying to tell me with all these browning leaf tips? I have upped the watering and misting as the weather is turning but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference. Time for the humidifier? My thermostat is reading 63% humidity right now…Could it be over fertilized???

Well I guess it’s time to say good bye to one of my calatheas. I tried everything to save her. My last ditch was to chop off all the leaves as there were all brown and crispy hoping they would return. It’s been a couple weeks and no growth. There’s no green left anywhere. But this cute little mushroom just popped up over night lol. My other calatheas is recovering a lot better and finally is putting out a new leaf.

I really am trying

Hi! Someone gave me part of their fully grown mint plant. They pulled a piece from theirs, and it had a good amount leaves and some roots. I placed it in water until I was able to buy soil (2-3 days) and about a week ago I planted it in a ceramic pot with drainage and placed it outside. Since then, the leaves are looking and feeling dry, there are a few that are still soft and not crunchy, and the soil has yet to dry. What did I do wrong? And what do I do now? Please help me.

The last 3 new leaves my Rubber Plant has made have been small, much more warped/mis-shapen, and red. I haven't changed anything in her routine. She's always been in very good health, generally. Any ideas?

Hello! Beginner plant person here. I keep getting a sort of light fuzzy white-grey mold on the top of my potting soil for some of my indoor plants. I recognise it is likely in part caused by overwatering but I’m trying to be more cognisant of how and how much I’m watering my plants and I have been watering them much less frequently (more to the recommended schedule of this app), but I feel like I’m facing the same problem still. I may try repotting them, but should I try a certain type to avoid this problem from reoccurring? What other ways should I alter my watering practices to fix this problem? I also have really hard water—even if that isn’t contributing to this specific issue, is that something I should try to change as well?

Yellow spots on leaves. Is it overwatering ? I have an Alocasia scalprum that started showing bright yellow spots on some leaves soon after I bought it. It’s been about 2 months, and the mottling seems to be spreading. The spots are random across the blade (not from the margins) and don’t follow a neat interveinal pattern. Newer leaves look better but I’m not confident. What I changed: I repotted from the nursery soil into a chunky aroid mix because the original mix seemed to hold too much water.

My Peace Lily is always drooping and I’ve had to remove multiple leaves over the past few days since they’ve been turning yellow or brown, the actual flower hasn’t bloomed and I got it months ago, can anyone help?

Anyone have experience with thrips? 😭

Why does my blue star fern look like this? She’s in the bathroom so she gets plenty of humidity and she’s not horribly far from the window. I keep her on Planta’s watering and fertilizing schedule, but she doesn’t look happy.

I have a flaming Katie that’s doing overall well however she hasn’t had any yellow flowers in the last three months, and she has a little bit of a white waxy substance on her leaves. I’m planning on cleaning the leaves with water but let me know if there are any suggestions out there.
