My prayer plant a few days ago just lost a bottom leaf just like this one. I’m just not sure whether it’s root rot or just the plant shedding the old leaves. Advice?

I noticed these super tiny little bugs crawling around the pot of my ZZ Plant. I’m hoping someone will know what these are and how to get rid of them. Any help would be much appreciated!🌸

Is this a fungus? I don’t see anything moving. It’s a leaf from my Forget Me Not. It’s fuzzy around the edges of the leaf. Or is it an insect? Newbie from Denver.

What’s wrong with my pink princess? I’m looking up close with a flashlight and see nothing moving on them or any sign of pest but it looks like something is eating it?

I saw changes to my Rattlesnake plant after my cats decided that they would use the leaves as chew toys… I noticed that she has been drying up quicker than before. What could be the issue?

Why are the stems of my mini monstera turning yellow? and is there anything I can do to fix it? I don’t think i’ve been overwatering, but that’s the only thing i can think of that would make it turn yellow. Thanks in advance for any information or ideas!!

My Triostar Stromanthe, Astraea, has had better days... but she’s pretty rough around the edges right now. Since I moved in June, I’ve been struggling to find the best set up with adequate lighting and humidity conditions for my tropical plant gang. I have all my plants in my south-facing window but the hot and super dry weather makes it impossible to provide higher humidity in my room. Im going to get them a humidifier, so in the meantime I turned a clear storage bin into a makeshift greenhouse and mist them several times a day but my temporary fix still doesn’t make Astraea any happier. I know Triostar is finicky and always been more high maintenance compared to my other tropical plants, but she’s looking extra crusty and dusty and sad now. How can I bring her back? She don’t wanna be saved 😩🥲 Any tips/advice on how to revive this dramatic diva are greatly appreciated! ❤️

Hi everyone, I was bought this Aloe Vera, and the leaves are kinda drooping/heavy. Is that normal? There is new growth in the middle so it must be doing ok but I wondered if the leaves shouldn’t be a bit more ridged and stand up more??? Any thoughts?

Does anyone know the care for this plant? I am trying to help revive it and a lot of the leaves are yellowing. It’s currently in a well draining mix but a lot of the roots have fallen off and it keeps falling out of the pot that it’s in Any help or care tips for it would be immensely appreciated! I am not sure if that is the specific variety of the plant. But it did not have flowers when I received it
