Help! Aloe has these random brown/black spot across a few leaves… they don’t seem to be rotting just surface level spots. Anyone know what they are? Checked for pests and found nothing already.

Any suggestions on how to effectively and safely sterilize plant pots (plastic, terracotta, glass, ceramic, etc) after a pest or rot problem? For example, I lost a fairy castle cactus to scale but want to reuse the terracotta pot.

I bought this gloriosum totally rootbound at a box store. Replanted him and he looks so sad. Is he just pouting because of the change? He’s in aroid soil…east facing window and gets a bit of light from a grow light across the room

Hello everyone! A few months ago a family member gifted me this beautiful cactus from a plant shop however I’ve noticed the leaves have turned an orange and a few have died. I’m not sure where to start as I am new in plant care and I really want to keep my cactus alive since the original owner said it’s about 20 years old. Here are some photos, hopefully this is enough information for you.

Can someone Possibly Help Identify what this is on my foliage? Small Dots popped up on my ferns/moss/wood/rock & im pretty sure it was an actual spider from When i bought this But i Killed it recently not gonna lie (literally yesterday) 😬 it next to the rock where theres a whole/missing moss- kept A web Between And Theres a whole in the soil now. I kept seeing a web and Got tierd of it. Maybe Spider mites? i Read that You cant see A spider mite With bare eyes but can see the White eggs from them? I Have sprayed it down with neem oil a couple times but i ran out so i was just gonna clean the foliage off & Get neem oil Tomorrow. Noticed it because where it was at is slowly making my Plants get Crispy and Dry at the ends… might Repot it and change out the soil Because it stays wet to long- greenhouse Soil and I will eventually change it to my own soil mix. Got this maybe 2-3 weeks ago.

How to be sure I have thrips? I haven’t with 100% certainty seen adults but I’m seeing some signs of pest consistent with thrips on my plants. I just wanna be sure I likely actually have them before I start going crazy with treatment plans.

I was given this plant to revive and not sure where to start! It was my grandmas and she’s going through a lot right now and hasn’t been able to keep up with her plants. This guys been living in her garage since July! Any tips are GREATLY appreciated I’m really bad at keeping this type of plant thriving. I would love to revive this guy and gifted it back to her ☺️☺️

I was growing an avocado plant in water (Haas), then potted it in soil. It was doing great, until I looked at it this morning and saw these white spots on the bottom. What are they, and is it ok? Thank you! 🙏🏻 🥑

What is my peace lily trying to tell me with these leaves? Too much water or not enough? I feel like I’m getting mixed messages!

my flaming katy is getting spotted and turning yellow. Any tips to combat this?

I've had this plant since June 2024 and he was doing really good but now he isn't, I brought him in when it started to get cold (I live in Michigan) and I wanna know if there's anything I can do to save him

Can anyone tell me why my philodendron is retaining moisture all of a sudden? I have had this plant for more than 2 years, repotted last year in plastic nursery pot with lots of holes, has been perfectly happy until now. 😕 Recently I watered it as usual and several of the leaves turned yellow. And the tips are turning brown. I keep getting reminders to fertilize but the soil remains moist. Any thoughts? TIA

my jade plant has become limp. i’ve tried giving it less water. It is recovering from mealy bugs. any helpful tips?

Why is my apiderplant stem all browny ish and kinda weak its been in soil for ONE DAY and i pulled the stem up gently and it like that? I watered it ever so gently and ensured full drainage. Whats the cause and can it recover

Virginia bluebells showing some brown bits on the stem close to the soil. Something worth concerning about? Been battling a gnats problem for over a week.

I was given a bouquet of roses, and I wanted to propagate the ZZ (I think?) from the fillers. I noticed these little white “pocks” on the underside of the leaves; are these little critters (or their eggs!) I should be worried about? They otherwise look ok, and I don’t see any bites or anything on the leaves. Thanks!
