So I picked up this monstera adansonii a few days ago and have been monitoring this few leaves hoping it’s nothing serious. But I wanted to put a post up just in case this ends being something that is time sensitive that I just don’t know about. If anybody has info and what it might be and what to do about it. Please let me know!
Any advice on keeping a cat away from plants? I have non-toxic and toxic plants to pets with the toxic ones nigh impossible to reach. She has an obsession with nibbling on everything even a Chinese evergreen which is supposedly toxic (I moved this to out of her reach). Any advice on how to dissuade? I’ve tried orange peel and vinegar near the pots, aluminum foil, and cat grass. Any advice is appreciated!
Hello! I got this Alocasia Frydek a few months ago, she started out fine. Now she’s lost all but one of her leaves. They kept slowly yellowing at the tips and then turning crunchy. I would appreciate any suggestions you have as to why this is happening. I can’t see any signs of pests.
Hi everyone! My Norfolk pine has continued to struggle & get worse for close to a month. I’ve tried multiple things to help but none have worked. Frequent watering, less watering, tons of sun (both direct sun & or grow light), and then less direct sun. Disclaimer: I got it via EasyPlant (self watering planter) and I know that the fix is probably repotting.. but I spent way too much on the plant + planter so I was trying to make it work somehow. Any other advice on my Norfolk Pine?
What is this in my soil??? There’s a glare from the sun but I’m looking at the egg-looking things!
Got this bromeliad from a friend that thought she was killing it because the flowers were turning brown. I have had it for a little while and it's not doing good. I know they like lots of moisture and I mist it a lot but it's still curling the leaves. This is the original pot it came in and I think maybe I should repot it? There is no drain hole so I've been really careful about watering it but I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hello, does anyone have any insight as to why this is happening to my Hoya pubicaylix? No bugs that I can see, and planta dr said maybe a repot is needed. I have not checked the roots yet but now I’m seeing more spots on leaves. Tyia
Best purchase I ever made this is just off of my Kalanchoe which went in the bag of shame early January
Hi All, I need help with my spider plant. Until before Christmas the plant was good but after, not sure if is the cold winter, started to loose all the leaves. I checked the roots but the seems ok and the soil as well since was repotted less than a year ago. I noticed that all the leaves tend to rust, as well as new small leaves are coming. I thought because was dry during the Christmas. Not sure if needs fertiliser and nutrients. Please, let me know.
Hello everyone, I recently found sticky sappy dots all over my Florida beauty what pest causes this? I use systemic granules in my soil and regularly clean leaves and stems with neem and gleam spray. Is this due to pests or something the plant naturally produces? I looked it up on google it says it could be due to pests. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Today I found a thrip on a donkey’s tail so I treated it will insecticidal soap. Should I now just treat all 31 plants in the area to be safe? I ask because most of the plants are not due to be watered and worry they will be overwatered if I do. I thought I got rid of the awful thrip issue over the last month but wrong I am. Thank you for advice.
Dying or just the natural cycle of African Violets?
It’s kind of hard to tell but there are these really small black dots in my monstera, I did see a few really small black bugs crawling but killed the few I saw before realizing I didn’t take a photo. Anyone have any idea what it is and what I can do? I tried googling but didn’t have luck
Please help me figure out what I’m doing wrong. My Hoya Sea Stones keeps dropping leaves. Whole sections of the stem breaks off. The leaves are yellowing and curling up too. I’ve taken a picture of some of the healthier leaves, and the shriveling leaves for reference at first I thought it was lack of sunlight because I had her placed about 10 feet away from the west facing window, but I’ve had a grow light on her for 18 hours a day for several days and it’s not helping. Granted it was a cheaper grow light from Amazon so I don’t know if that might be part of the problem. I’ve been checking the soil with a moisture meter and only watering when absolutely dry. please let me know what I should try next.
Im having issues with some of my plants. The new leaves are not wanting to open. I have started misting the more frequently and I just got a humidifier for each room now. Any other tip would be greatly appreciated.
My Beaucarnea recurvata has been seeming sick or dying lately! Almost every leaf has gone brown they’re super wilted feeling and super white in the center! Any help?? I cut the brown off
Does anyone know a good homemade bug spray I can conjure up to keep ants and bugs away from my indoor plants??? I'm tired of squishing ants one by one.
I cut these onions and the white part I put it in water the day before yesterday and look at that 😮😮wow incredible
My Money Tree was doing really well, nice big full silhouette; but over the last couple of months, it’s been dropping a lot of leaves, and there’s lots of browning. However, at the same time, it’s got lots of new growth, particularly around the base of the plant. Any ideas what’s going on? Is this normal?
A couple months ago or so I posted about my goldfish plant for help in hopes to prevent it from dying. She’s lookin SO GOOD now. 🤩
