What are your guys’ remedies for fungus gnats? Recently they have gotten really out of control and the spray I typically use isn’t cutting it.

Hi, I have this monstera that was a pretty decent size and all the leafs started getting these brown spots in it. When I started reading about it I saw people saying to cut off the dead leafs but I might have over done it. This leaf was perfect and now is getting what ever all the other leafs had. I cleaned off all the roots and repotted it about a week ago and just wanted to see if anybody has any advice. The pot is filled with about 65% roots.

Hi I repotted this confetti plant in a 3in plastic pot. Its leaves are drying and I want to know how to help keep this alive. Those stem with missing leaves were the ones that dried up. Help and advice would be appreciated immensely. Thanks

Hi I just repotted this little beaut. I noticed the new leaf is dry and there are spots in the leaf. What should I do to help keep this alive? I repotted today in a 2in ceramic planter with drainage. Help and advice are appreciated. Thanks

This may be an odd question but here we go… do rattlesnake plants normally have lumps on their roots? Mine does, I don’t know if this is normal or parasitic but the plant is struggling a bit. Any thoughts would be really appreciated!

Can anyone help me understand why the leaves of my bird of paradise curl up? I thought it might need more water but after introducing a humidifier to my office and using a moisture meter to ensure it has enough to drink — leaves still curl. Window pictured is south facing so it gets a lot of light. There is an AC vent in ceiling above plant, too.

Ok plant aunties and uncles this baby needs advice ! 😅 I repotted her probably 2 months ago (not sure exactly to be honest) she’s been doing great ! But recently I started losing leaves (maybe last month) so I took her all out and untangled the roots because the center of her pot was wet not all of the soil. Since doing this she’s been looking sad ! I haven’t lost any leaves since but she’s more droopy than usual 🥲 also some browning on the edges of 2 of the leaves. I decided to separate them and downsize the pot (blue pot is a bit bigger because that side of the plant was bigger and had way longer bigger roots) is it because I unbound the roots ? Any advice on this plant would be useful !

My Areca palm has brown tips on the leaves. I haven’t been watering it a ton because each time I touch the soil it still feels moist. I repotted around a month or so ago and always make sure I empty out the tray beneath it after I do water. Please help!

Bonide systemic granules So I use these granules to keep away pests and it works great. Here’s the issue: I just recently found out about the carcinogens and cancer risk. I have horrible medical anxiety and am now worried that I’m a goner from using these. Please help, any advice is welcomed (as long as you’re kind)

Monstera leaves are drooping. I repotted it a week or two ago because it was so root bound (see second photo). I had to loosen up the roots which made me lose a bunch, but the rest were thick and very healthy! I’m seeing now that the leaves are drooping and the bottom leaves were turning yellow (cut them off yesterday). What do I do?

I have had three battles with aphids this spring including both green and orange aphids. They are all within an area both inside and outside my kitchen window. I got so tired that I just used insecticide which I usually try to avoid because it takes out beneficial insects as well. But, It works and is the last option before tossing out the plant. It’s a Hoya Gigantanganesis in a 4 inch pot I bought 10 months ago.
