I ordered this little buddy lemon lime prayer plant online and he arrived sick looking. I watered him when he arrived and again this morning since he was dry. I have him in an east facing window to give him some sun, have been misting him, and have a humidifier going by him. Any suggestions or hope on saving his young life? đâșïž

I recently acquired this really old succulent from a family who were moving house and didnât want it anymore. The pot was way too small so yesterday I repotted it into terracotta which was the right size. I watered it and left it in our poly tunnel overnight, and when I came back today to bring it inside I noticed loads of little white bugs running all over it. Spider mites? I just completed doused it in soap spray in the hope that that will start killing them off, but does anyone have any ideas on better ways to get rid of these? Thank you! x

Should I be concerned about these tiny bugs in my prayer plant? What are they? What do I do? They are very small so I couldnât get a good photo.

Does anyone know what these brown spots are on my watermelon peperomia? They showed up a while ago but have continued to get worse. I keep the plant in the window and I only water it when the top 1-2 inches of the soil is dry. The spots are mostly only on the backs of the leaves which I find really strange. đ€·đȘŽ

Not sure what is happening⊠is this a sign of over or under watering? They were put out in maybe a bit too much sun a few weeks ago but then took them inside for indirect light and soil seems moist/hydrated again (after a period of not watering enough). But itâs still getting worst đ

Hello! I brought my houseplants outside for the first time and Iâm seeing massive growth! They are just on my patio so they arenât getting full direct sunlight.
Do I need to transition them back inside or when Iâm ready can I just bring them in? I donât want to shock them being back in AC. Thanks in advance!

Someone help me please!
Hello, I just started collecting plants last year in the summer and the other day I decided to get my first Caladium. Since I have got it, I notice it is very droopy.
Side note- I originally had this plant father away from the window then it is now but still got a good amount of sunlight. (It is also an east facing window.)
I was using the apps watering schedule when I first got this plant. That was until it started to get droopy. I assumed it needed some more water so I started watering it a bit more frequently but that doesnât seem to be doing anything. The soil that it stays in keeps very moist and damp so I try to be aware of that when I am watering it. I have now put the plant in the east facing window as the app was persuading and telling me to. Again, this doesnât seem to be working. The plant has been loosing color to its leaves and has continued to become more and more droopy. If anyone has any thought or ideas on what I can do help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! :D

Does anyone know why my French lavender plant is dying and how I can fix it?

This are my sunflowers which I was gifted about a month ago. They had an ant and fly infestation. Iâve tried spraying insect killer in the evening and this made the plant worse and didnât really kill the ants/flys. I used one of the yellow sticky tabs and as you can see itâs done well but the plant is still struggling and some leaves on the stems are wilting. What can I do please?

I got 6 plants the other day, realized one had thrips when I got home. I gave them all several insecticidal baths and a repot then chopped the one with thrips down about an inch from the soil. The following day, another had spider mites so I chopped it as well. How long do I keep all the plants in jail?

hi, iâve been having such a hard time growing my pothos and my monstera. i got the monstera (monstera adonsii) as a propagation last april and she thrived in water. i tried to pot her last summer and she got infested with fungus gnats. so back into water she went for the winter. i tried potting her again a couple weeks ago and her soil and the pothos got infested with soil mites, which i found out that theyâre not bad but there were soooo many that it was a problem. my pothos lost all of his leaves except for one single baby leaf. i started a insecticide treatment and i left both of them outside yesterday afternoon and when i came back to check on them after a couple hours, the monstera was halfway out of her pot and her leaves ripped off. i pulled them both out of the soil and found that the pothos had severe root rot. i cut off the roots and now theyâre both back in water. iâm literally about to give up, iâm trying to branch out and grow things that arenât succulents but these two are giving me so much trouble. please help, will they survive?
