I got my venus fly trap about 3 weeks ago. It’s doing well overall, but last night I noticed little black bugs crawling around. There’s none flying, just crawling around the plant. They are do small I couldn’t get a pic but here’s a pic of my plant m. Any advice appreciated :)

My house plant has lots of little pests in the soil, does anyone know what these are? Have tried to circle one of them in the pictures below. Thanks!

Does anyone know what these bugs are and how to get rid of them if they are bad for the plant? Thanks!

I just noticed this white, like fuzz on top of the soil at the base of my fiddle leaf fig. I assume it’s some kind of mold or a fungus? The plant looks perfectly normal and healthy. But this just showed up out of the blue. Anybody know what it is and how to treat it? I’d love to hear from you. Thanks ahead of time.

hi! i got this gorgeous rhipsalis a week ago. i have it categorized as baccifera but it could be campos-portoana? anyway i noticed today that it has a lot of tan, woody spots & areas throughout. (looking back on the first photos, these tan areas have been there since day 1) the spots do not wash off or scrape off. it almost looks like the plant just hardens in these areas. i looked closely & found no pests. the plant has a lot of new growth & seems pretty happy otherwise. does anyone know if this is normal?

I’ve been using little tea bags to soak my mosquito bits into my plant water. Figured I’d share this idea in case someone else finds it useful. Certainly makes it easier to remove from the water.

So my baby here is doing good for the most part… she has new growth regularly. Every time a leaf turns yellow I prune it off. I’m seeing these weird spots on the leaves now though. Seems like egg sacks of some sorts? Any suggestions on what it is or how to safely get rid of it?

Help!! My poor little baby isn’t doing so hot! I’m not certain of the type of plant she is, it was a gift from a friend. She was doing alright for a while. Perky leaves and strong stems, little buds coming through, all of that. Suddenly she’s droopy and nothing I do seems to help. I have windows with bright indirect light and the option of putting her under a grow light if that’s better. Any advice?

My plant (unsure of the type) has recently developed these light green leaves. I don’t know what is wrong with it, and what it needs. Any advice?

I got this tiny African violet about 4 weeks ago. I’ve never had any problems with them, as i have a couple bigger ones. But it turns out to be really small and sad :( I don’t know if i can save it, if there’s anything I can do to help it out tell me. My mom got it for me as a gift while I was gone and potted it with a baby rubber plant (not the best idea). 🌱

Can anyone help me with this plant? I’ve had it for years and it was thriving at first but it’s been months and the leaves always get dry like this. Any idea what can be done to revive it??

Hi! I recently acquired a large money tree that isn’t doing so well in its new home. It’s placed about 5 feet from a south facing window that gets a ton of great light in the morning and early afternoon. Sometimes direct and sometimes in direct. The leaves have black/brown and pale/nude spots on them, some are losing their green pigment overall. I’ve watered it once since I got it when the soil was feeling super dry. Otherwise I’ve tried to leave it alone as to not stress it out any further. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you! 🌱

What is the best pesticide for spider mites ?

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my plant? Maybe if the leaves keep dying and falling off I don’t know what to do.
