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?

Does anyone have experience with Leopard lilies/ledebouria. I purchased this online and I dont know if itâs just really stressed from shipping or what. Iâm afraid itâll lose all of these leaves. Theyâre 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! đ€ŠđŒââïž 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. đ€·ââïž 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, Iâve noticed that it looks almost deflated, like it has shrunk. Itâs stature is twisty instead of straight, and Iâve botched thereâs 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. Iâm still somewhat new to plants, so Iâm not sure what could be wrong. Please help!

Are these thrips? đ help Iâve never had pests before. I thought this succulent was just unhappy because Iâve neglected watering it for a long time.
I canât 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 theyâre goners? I usually âforgetâ 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 doesnât get rot- but Iâm still finding that itâs getting super crispy! Any suggestions as to what Iâm doing wrong or how I can fix this? đ„ș
