I couldn’t get a super clear photo but these little tiny bugs have been crawling around in my lifesaver cactus’s soil and I’m not sure if they’re causing damage or not, but I’m worried they might be. Does anyone know what kind of bug this is? Also it’s not captured in the photo but it is a deeper reddish brown color.
My little eucalyptus has some shriveled spots and some dust looking spots. Recently I moved it outside because it’s gotten warmer and the inside area didn’t have enough sun, so it has bright indirect sun now. Does anyone know what might be happening? All suggestions, ideas, and diagnoses’s would be greatly appreciated.
What is this thing? I have been treating my ficus for scale, but after five rounds of neem, it didn’t get rid of it. Someone told me to try bonide granules and I did. After doing so, within a short period of time, these funny little millipede looking things were dropping out of the tree; actually, quite a few. They dried up immediately, but I do have one to show you, if you can see it by enlarging it. It’s kind of creepy thinking my plant has had these things all this time. So, does anybody have any ideas? Obviously, the bonide killed them; but my ficus isn’t looking 100% either. Comments? 😵💫💚🪴
Hello! Another prop question, so I saved these node/aerial root cuttings from a pothos with root rot, the inside of each cutting looked fine and not brown from rot before I put them in room temp water. Should I have dipped these in hydrogen peroxide before propping or is it okay? When should I change out the water, it’s been a few days but looks kindve sludgy.
Hello first time using this app, but does anyone know any kid friendly ways to get rid of indoor plant gnats?
M. deliciosa 3 days status post pruning and repotting presenting with discreet patches of flat white spots isolated to all stems and without involvement of leaves. During repotting, extensive L. birnbaumii spores were removed from soil and roots. No root rot was appreciated and the roots appeared firm and white; healthy growth throughout. Stems had no evidence of patches at that time. A mixture of 1 tbsp sodium bicarbonate was generously sprayed over the root system, top of the soil, stems, and leaves of the plant before repotting into a mixture of MiracleGro Indoor and MiracleGro Tropical soil. Several ounces of a diluted solution of Maxicrop Liquid Seaweed (1 capful of stock mixed 1 gallon of H2O) fertilized the soil after repotting into its new 16-inch diameter terra cotta planter. It was placed near the window to increase light exposure, promote water uptake, and transpiration and discourage fungal growth. Given this history, I am curious to know precisely what these patches are? Thanks in advance for your read and any thoughts offered!
Can someone please tell me if this is a fungus or what? When I bought the plant a couple weeks ago, it was pristine. I repotted it cuz it seemed to be in soaking wet soil. I looked at it a couple days ago and noticed some black/brown along some of the edges so I though maybe it got too much light from the lamp. I don't have it in direct sun. Then 2 days ago I saw these brownish things on the leaves. Please help!
Any idea why my monstera is getting these brown edges??? She’s near a humidifier and I water her about once a week. Help!
My once beautiful string of pearls is now infected with mealybugs… can I save her!? 🥺
So my tomato plants I have grown from seed and I started them inside. They all looked fine, some growing quicker than other but as soon as I moved them outside now that it’s warm (Northern Illinois) they started withering and getting these white patches on their leaves and I have no idea why… They were in a south facing window while they were inside and got about 7 hours of sun and now they’re outside they get about 10 hours of sunlight. I water and fertilize on a relatively consistent schedule. Anyone know what’s up with them?
The mealybug bag of shame
Pretty sure I killed my prayer plant here… it was foundering in the terrarium, so I moved it into well-draining soil. Didn’t see any black roots, but could I have missed something? Any tips for next time?
My geranium has been slowly dying for the past few weeks. I water it about every 1-2 weeks. Why is she dying 😭
Has anyone ever used Miracle Gro Leaf Shine spray? On a caladium? I have one that just doesn’t seem to be doing so hot. I’ve given it more sun, less sun, more water, less water, it just doesn’t seem to be happy. I think it’s soil that I used might’ve been a little over fertilized when I originally potted it, just trying to help it out.
Hello all! I recently purchased this palm, and some of the older growth began to turn yellow. I have kept it on a very strict watering cycle, and it gets enough moisture and sunlight (both direct and indirect). As you can see there, has been a lot of new growth, is this something I should be concerned about? Or is it natural for these e plants to shed that older growth in new environments.
Y is there black
😣😬😬. I have this plant shelf with 3 plants on it (Christmas cactus cutting, moth orchid, monstera). First: a small question- Is this orchid root heathy? I know the one behind it isn’t but that is from saving it from root rot about a year ago. Second and more importantly: I’ve been seeing these gnat things and it seems like there are more everyday lol. What are they? I haven’t noticed any damage to my plants but I did have one flying annoyingly flying around last night while I was reading in bed. I counted about 5 just now. Please help
Red sap coming from elephant ear (kept indoors) is this normal or is it pests?
My silver monstera (siltepecana) is getting brown and yellow tips! Help? Is this a bacterial or fungal issue mostly? or humidity? or watering unfiltered water?
So I just got this Pink Princess a few weeks ago, and she just recently sprouted 2 new leaves. I was looking at the one leaf that just started opening up, and it looks like it’s ripping. I haven’t touch it at all. Does anyone know why this is happening?
