Need help id-ing this bug/pest. Just found it, and I haven’t added any new plants to my collection for a couple of months. I don’t see any damage but maybe that’s scale in the stem? It doesn’t seem sticky though. The bugs are walking around on the leaves. I treated with neem.
Does anyone know what am I doing wrong with this plant? It looks floppy.
What exactly are these and why are they on my plants? TIA
My son and daughter-in-law bought two Basil plants and want to keep them to use, not to mention they smell wonderful. One plant died within a week of repotting it. I have one picture from when I put Basil in a pot and some from today for comparison. Basil is doing well. There have been some leaves with brown or a brown spot, usually young leaves, so I removed them. I also checked it for leaf stems that were long and removed them as well. As I was checking for them, I was pleasantly surprised to learn new leaves sprout at the base of the leaf stem. I know next to nothing about Basil plants. I'm used to succulents that can go a long time between drinks. Basil plants need more water with damp but not wet soil. That's where my chicken is. I don't want him to end up with root rot. How do I know if he's getting too much water? When should I take off leaves if we don't use them? I'm carefully watching for buds so I can cut them off.
does anyone know what these dark leaves on this orchid are? should they be removed or can they stay? it hasn’t bloomed since it has been purchased and i was concerned ):
Was thinking scale was eating my plant, I’ve try soaking in house plant bug killer ultra , also mealy bug killer spray, insecticide soap and cut off loads of infected leaves, also moved away from other plants but it’s getting worse, no sign of pest, I’m going to try triple action neem oil with dr bronner’s peppermint all-one magic soap diluted in water and soak the plant after another good shower of all leaves, any idea what pest this is, soil has been changed to good quality soil ninja fern mix with extra perlite and bits, the plant did have a couple of these marks when I purchased it, first thing I did was good shower and soil change
Double post!! My tradescantia nanouk has been thriving but recently slightly yellow/ browning. Regularly water her, she’s in a spot that gets lots of natural light. What can I do. Thankyou in advance!
Hi plant people! Does anyone know what these strange white spots are on my Pepperomia plant? They are on quite a few of the leaves :(
My bulbs are finally sprouting so beautiful 🥰🥰
So I looked it up and said my soil is heathy and I should leave this little mushroom. Does anyone have experience with this mushroom? Should I add it to my plant list 👀
I have a plant called Tradescantia and it is not doing well at all! It has been struggling for a long time and the leaves look alive still but the vines break off very easily with no force. I haven’t repotted since I got it but should I repot it now? I don’t know what is wrong with it at all but if anyone knows what it could be I would love to hear it!
I have had issues with both my stromanthe and heart leaf philodendron ever since I’ve had them and at this point I don’t know much more of what I can do. They get humidity from my humidifier I run every day, I water my stromanthe with only distilled water, and use appropriate soil. They also get plenty of sun light and receive fertilizer every couple of weeks. My philodendron has been dropping leaves as well. They both have drainage and I don’t over water. Does anyone have any tips on what I can do, or what may be the issue? Thank you bunches!
Got this rattlesnake plant about a month and a half ago. I was doing the same regiment for it as my other Calathea (fishbone prayer plant) — water them 1-2x per week (as needed) with regular tap water; mist them; give them bright, indirect light; and fertilize them every 3-4 weeks. My other calathea is thriving! It's literally popping out new leaves and growth left and right. This one, not so much. 😭 I recently switched to watering it with distilled water, but I'm wondering if that's enough to reverse its slow death. Should I wash off the roots with the distilled water and repot it too? Something else? Thanks in advance! 🪴 --- Edited to add: This whole time, I thought my other plant was a Calathea. I was today years old when I found out Calathea Burle Marx plants/fishbone prayer plants aren't actually Calatheas. They're Ctenanthes. Please tell me I'm not the only one who didn't know this. 😅 Either way, I still need help with my rattlesnake plant. haha
Hi, Any tips for this snake plant? It sits in my lounge room with a split system but I don’t have a lot of space to put it elsewhere… Not sure if it’s also too overcrowded. Thank you!
What’s wrong with my Marigold? I left this newly planted marigold for three weeks with my brother to water it. It was a pretty hot summer and may have gotten too much sun, but now that it’s indoors, its bottom leaves are discolored and misshapen. I thought it would get better but it’s just trying to bloom regardless. Is it a disease/illness? Or a deficiency? (Photos are from most recent to oldest)
What’s wrong with my baby?! I’m going to cut it off. It started with the brown ring as a yellow spot, but it’s spreading!! 😭😭😭
Help! ☹️ I’m not sure what’s happening with my aloe. I always wait until she’s dried out before watering. Any advice would be appreciated!
For the life of me I can’t get this guy to be happy. It’s by a window but the leaves are all reaching towards the light like it’s starving and all of them turn brown and crispy so fast.
why is my cebu blu pothos leaves dying on top
Do I need a larger humidity tray for my prayer plant? This leaf was already a little wrinkly when I got the plant in the mail a couple of weeks ago, but now there’s a bit of browning and curling under.
