Does anyone know what this discoloration on my monstera leaf is? This is the only leaf on the whole plant that has discoloration like this. This first two pictures are current and the third one is what it looked like a month ago when I first got it.

Help! I rescued this baby almost a year ago. LeafSnap tells me it's a fern. 🤷‍♀️ I've repotted it. I've tried it in every room in my house. Even if I put it near the humidifier it dries out. Can someone please tell me what it is and what to do for it? Honestly, I'm amazed it's still alive.

The term “bright indirect light” is confusing me. Obviously, if I moved these plants to the windowsill, they would receive direct light all morning (then the sun moves over the house). I do sometimes pop them on the windowsill for a burst of light. But are they receiving bright, indirect light on my desk right now? Or are the shutters shutting out too much light?

Any clue what’s wrong with my burgundy rubber tree? Its leaves have been curled up since soon after I bought it. It is currently in succulent soil and the roots look fine. I have a smaller stem from the same plant that is doing fine. I have tried everything, misting, watering more often, watering less often, etc. but nothing seems to get these leaves uncurled. Also, when is the right time to water these? I let the soil completely dry out, is that right?

Hi everyone!! I have this heart leaf plant that’s been growing wonderfully. I repotted it maybe three weeks ago? I keep her in the bathroom because I think she likes the moist environment but I just noticed this mushroom? Any advice? Is this bad?

My money tree has some fungus gnats that I just discovered today when trying to start the braid (it’s a very small plant). I got some peppermint and neem oil that’s delivering tomorrow. What’s the best way to go about getting rid of these? I thought about completely stripping down to the roots, repotting completely and spraying the neem oil directly onto the plant but I honestly know nothing about plant care. I am very much a beginner.

Can anyone help me with my ghost plant? This is like the third leaf to shrivel up and wither away since I’ve had it for like a month now. I repotted it to this tiny planter a week ago. It sits in this windowsill and I watered it only last week. I’ve been waiting for the soil to completely dry out. I can’t seem to figure out succulents for the life of me even though they’re supposed to be so easy 😓 I should also mention: this pot used to be potted with like 6 other small succulents so I’m thinking that maybe it’s extra thirsty?

This is a lipstick plant my partner got a couple weeks ago from a local nursery, doesn’t seem to be doing to good, any suggestions? We repotted very shortly after we got it as we thought we may have seen some type of pest..? Treated once with a neem oil spray should i continue? Thanks for any help!

Can anyone tell me what these black spot on my Chinese Money Plant are? I’ve got a small gnat infestation that I’m working on taking care of but all my other plants don’t have anything wrong with them. So far none of the newer leaves have anything like that. Is there anything I can do to save them or should I prune the infected leaves?

scale or scars? I’ve never had scale before so I’m not sure. This is my raven ZZ that is still in quarantine.

i’ve recently asked the same question and tried multiple suggestions but none have worked fully. does anyone know any remedies or recommendations to get rid of gnats in plants? since summers rolling around my plants are compromised completely😭i’ve tried neem oil, sticky traps (the outcome has been crazy) and a few others.

I have these little pest flying or jumping around a few of my plants now? What are they? Will they destroy my plants? I never had them until i bought a plant at a yard sale a few weeks back? Help please

A bit lost here. My tomato plants and sunflowers were doing fantastic for a long time, but now looking terrible. Any advice?? When I try to water, it just sits at the top and pools or goes straight through the drainage holes. I follow a regular watering schedule and use liquid fertilizer as needed.

So my money tree has been doing okay but it keeps switching between good and bad. I had to remove two trunks that died a few months ago. And now a third (middle in photo) seems to not be producing leaves and it’s shriveling. I’ve watered it when the soil is close to dry or practically dry. I check the soil. I mist it regularly. And there’s drainage in the soil. But I don’t understand what is happening with it. What should I do?

Hey guys! I was wondering if you know what the problem is with my plant. Today I noticed the yellow/ brown spots on the leaves and when I was about to water it I saw this white residue on the soil. Is it mould or spiders? Any tips on what to be done in this situation would be much appreciated! 😊
