I bought a pink philodendron from facebook market place, but I got her home and realised she has some kind of infestation. (Probably why the seller wanted to get rid) Can anyone help me identify what they are ? These are the worst affected leaves. I'm thinking spider mites or mealy bugs but i'm unsure what the larger bugs are on the stem. What would be the best way to deal with it? I have quarantined the plant until I know what to do with it.

Help! This plant is looking very dry and the leaves are turning brown. I’ve only had it 2 weeks. It has drainage and is kept in a north window. Any advice would be appreciated.🪴

Are these spots a sign of fungus on my Philo hope and Ficus ginseng? (FYI that spiral looking ring around the branch is my attempt at bonsai wiring, not a pest)

Help!!! Soo I have a peace Lily and a Chain plant in the same pot (long story) and the chain plant killed the peace Lily (lol). I’m not sure what I should do rn should I take the peace Lily out or should I let it keep eating the the peace Lily. My Tia said since the chain plant is happy just leave it

Hello I posted earlier about my plant! But this is her now, with what she looks like. She’s a mango seedling I planted two-ish weeks ago. Her leaves are growing but the stalk isn’t. Not noticeably at least? Any advice?

What’s happening with my peperomia? New growth, possible flower blooming, water every 10-12 days or when it’s mostly dry. Not sure what the spots are- burned maybe? Sits in a west facing window.

My rattle snake Plant kept losing leaves so I took it out of its pot and checked the roots and replanted it in a smaller pot and then the last leaf died so I'm trying to revive it by adding a top to it for humidity. Do you think it will regrow or am I just wasting my time. Thanks for your help

I am newer to taking care of plants and I bought a variegated alocacia (idk if that’s spelled right). He started with four leaves and dropped two of them, I thought maybe it was because of the move and re-potting. But now one of the bigger leaves is dying on me and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong… it starts with the leaves losing their vibrant green for a light green and then the ends start curling in and turn brown/yellow. He’s getting part sun/part shade, he’s in a window with no DIRECT light but it’s bright all day. I’m watering according to the app and he has a draining pot. Plz help

My flamingo lily has a few yellow spots I'm following the app and checking the soil with a stick to make sure it's ready to water its near a window and I have a humidifier on it any suggestions. Haven't seen any bugs either. Thanks

My chive plant is on the verge of death. I have tried diffusing the light it gets, misting it daily, circulating air around it and trimming it back but it just looks more and more dead every day. I have only watered it once in the past 10 days or so as I was previously told it may be in shock from a pot transfer I did. Please help me!

Help! Am I overwatering my thyme seedlings? A couple of my thyme seedlings are getting brown and bendy stems just after sprouting. I have a grow light just overhead, a mini fan circulating air regularly, and have been watering only from the bottom drip tray every time that the water in it disappears (I have been assuming the plant is drinking it up). Two of my seedlings appear quite well but I have noticed little brown spots on one and bendy stems on that and one other. Please help! Also, when should I first fertilize as well as transfer these plants and how do I transfer them? Thank you!

Hello! My name is Cindy, I’m a bit newer to growing plants and my first is a mango tree. It’s only a week or so old, and it’s grown to about six or seven inches now. But it won’t grow upwards, all of its energy is going into one specific leaf which is now as long as the stem. Google tells me to trim it, but I don’t want to accidentally kill the plant. The picture I provided is from two days ago, that longer leaf is now as long as the stem and a dark green.

My hurricane birds nest fern has had some of the bottom leaves turning yellow and dying. I didn’t think too much of it until the new leaf sprouts started turning brown at the tip of the leaves. Any thoughts on what could be wrong?

My cactus that grew so well and so much in the summer just started to have spots on it at the base! 👎 what is it and how do I stop it?

My Jelly bean succulent keeps on losing leaves and it’s becoming discolored. Any advice? I am lowering the frequency in which I water it and moved it to a sunnier spot, but it hasn’t helped.

Root rot I have a Christmas cactus that got root rot on one of the sections and I am worried that the other part has it, does it look like it has it? And if it does how can I get rid of it?

Did I kill it or is there any hope? It was a 3’ Madagascar palm… my grandpa moved to a nursing home and I ended up with his plants, I was doing pretty well… but then I didn’t check for a few days and noticed today he had fallen against the wall and this is why…

Having some issues with cactus not sure what’s type of cactus this is but think it might be some type of prickly pear miniature? But over the past year has been developing brown spots on leaves thought maybe it has some type of fungus thinking maybe I should treat it with copper fungicide but not sure?
