Hi! How quickly does the peroxide and water treatment work to get rid of fungus gnats? I got a new snake plant and brought it to work and now my office is full of them! So aggravated.

Not sure what kind of plant this is. Just started a job where I have to take care of plants. Please, let me know what this plant is and how do I take care of it. Thanks in advance so much!!
Hey all…plant friends I’m getting down about treating these mealy bugs! I was positive in the beginning that I could take care of it with no problem but it’s getting to me. It feels like a full time job. I’m down to 3 that I found mealys on from 10. I do my best to isolate but my living space makes it very challenging. I treated again with spot treatments of alcohol, systemic granules and neem oil. Just looking for some moral support I guess.
Just noticed discoloration and mites on my parsley ! What is the best way to deal with this?
This is my beautiful 3 ft snake plant🪴. Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with it?? They are crispy and not mushy
Can anyone help! For some reason any new growth on it does not unroll on its own and one side starts turning brown. Can anyone tell me what to do or what am I doing wrong?
Morning! My pinky plant that was dying has been repotted. I have it under a grow light for about a month . I have been noticing that part of the plant is shooting up and today I noticed lil flowers. The bottom part is doing well. Should I trim the flowers off or just let it keep doing what it is doing???
Any idea what’s going with this monstera? I brought it home about a month ago and it’s started browning. It gets bright, indirect western sun. Still getting new growth…dr plants suggested overwatering maybe??? What do you all think?
I need help identifying this pest/insect on my variegated string of pearls 😭 I noticed a bigger one on the edge of the pot (picture on the white tissue), and am noticing very very minuscule ones walking on my pearls. They are oval shaped, white, but with no clumping or cotton like texture. What looks like webbing is actually just cat hairs😂 What do you guys think?
Im not too sure whats wrong with my sunflower seedlings, ive had this happen with a few seedlings in the past but it shrivels up in one area and gets very droopy as if its been pinched or damaged even though i dont mess with them. Im using a grow light so maybe thats the issue and the light isnt good enough? I was trying to use old mechanical pencils to help support them. If someone can help i would appreciate it, thank you!
Does anybody else have a bird of paradise whose leaves grow out all crinkled? This has happened to every new leaf since I got this plant 3 years ago, where the second half of the leaf that takes the longest to unfurl comes out crinkled. I have it right in front of an east facing window with a grow light, and am running a humidifier 70% of the time.
I’ve recently started growing some herbs in my kitchen. however i have gnats right now 😔 i’ve put diatomaceous earth in my other plants but i don’t know what to do about my herbs. they have some sprouts but i have to keep the soil most to finish the germination process for the other seeds. what should i do about the gnats in my herbs?
I’m new to variegated plants and i got this teneke about a month ago and i thought she was doing good but one of her leaves are starting to brown. She is placed by bright indirect light and she gets watered about every 9-14 days. Idk if I’m over or under watering her for it to start browning or if she’s getting too much light 🥺
Can anyone help me with my aloe vera? Its feels thin and might have sunburn? Am i doing something wrong? Please help😞
What’s wrong with my begonia? Not overwatering and next to a humidifier. Gets plenty of light
I just recently (within the last month or so) got this golden pothos from one of my favorite plant stores. I’ve noticed she looks wilted even after regular watering, and today i noticed these two leaves. i haven’t changed anything about her watering schedule or how much sun she gets. any ideas?
I knocked my orchid and took off all the new buds. Any chance this will come back or should I just cut off this shoot?
Hi all I think I made a weird mistake and could use some advice….I just took this plant off my shelf that I can only reach using a chair, when I got it down I was very surprised to find about and inch of standing water on top of the soil (I already dumped the water out in the photo). But now I’m confused because this lady was putting on new leaves so I didn’t think anything was wrong and I’m 5’3 so when I stand on my chair to water it I cannot see the very top of this tall pot so I have no idea how long it’s been like this. I guess I just would like to know if I should get it new soil or what since it appears to be ok?? I’m new at this. Any advice is welcome thanks for the help 🥲🙏
Am I overwatering? It's still wintery and cold outside, and I water on like a 7-9 day interval. Yellowing started recently, any ideas?
Emergency! My Peace Lily is wilting after watering and sun exposure 🌿🆘 Hi everyone, I really need some help with my Peace Lily. I’m a bit panicked! Here is the situation: • Recent History: I repotted it about 3-4 weeks ago. • The Issue: Today, I gave it a heavy watering and placed it in direct sunlight for a while. • Current State: Within a short time, it completely wilted (as you can see in the photo). • Current Action: I have already moved it back indoors to a shaded spot, but it hasn't perked up yet. The soil is still quite wet from the watering. Do you think it’s just heat shock, or did I overwater it? Any tips on how to revive it and how long I should wait before worrying more? Thank you so much in advance! 🙏
