i found these 2 strange bumps on the under side of a pothos leaf. i tried to flick off the one towards the bottom and you can see what was underneath the skin. these are only on one leaf, all the others are all normal. anyone know what this might be? my plant app doctors arenât helping
btw my pothos had a mealybug infestation 2 few weeks ago it wasnât an emergency situation as i caught them early on and was able to knock them all out in a couple days. appreciate any help !

Help, all of a sudden the leaves began to droop down and smaller ones underneath are yellowing and drying out entirely.

No more worrying about aphids once you catch Mother Natureâs best exterminator patrolling your plants. Itâs crazy that a single lady bug will eat 50-100 aphids a day. Natural pest control is the best pest control!

Hey guys! I notice several of my outdoor plants have this âpepperedâ look to their leaves and Iâm not sure why. Any thoughts? I see a spiderweb on one but it doesnât look like spider mite web and I notice a few of these skinny black bugs that look like fleas but not an infestation I would say. It has also been very hot, 90âs but feels like 100âs.

Update on Gray Sliver They Are Doing good i did. clean em little bit bcuz I saw a web and the web didnât turn red nor did the bug (not the same from yesterday) itâs little black dots another is Gray is very fragile I canât touch him or he might lose a left if Iâm to hard but I will prograte him soon after I get back home from the trip and Gray needs another pot. This one is in more than up Gray is more 3 plants in one so they did give another pot for free like 6inch or 7half inch pot which is good for Gray , oh yea the bug yesterday I swiped it with a plastic bag bye bye bug

I have four plant babies and Fred is the only one giving me issues. His tips even on new growth is brown. Iâve decreased watering and Iâve reported him into a smaller pot so that there is more airflow. I do believe I over fertilized about a month ago but I havenât fertilized since then. Is it just the affects from that or could it be a larger problem?

I havenât watered my Pothos in about 4 weeks. Are the yellowing an indicator of underwatering? My other Pothos are fine with my watering schedule.

This is Veruca. She was named that because sheâs an obnoxious spoiled brat that is never happy. Lol. Seriously, Iâve had her for over a year and tried her in almost every spot in the house and she just doesnât do well. I had her in my kitchen window and she did well for a while but now I have spent all morning picking these brown leaves off her. I was thinking of cutting the ends off and rooting them, but Iâve tried that before and they always rot. Any advice please?

Any ideas as to whatâs going on with this guy? Recently, halfway up the stem and moving upwards, the leaves are dying. I was told it was a magnesium deficiency, so I added Epsom salts to its water. It doesnât seem to be doing much good though. Should I be more patient or is it something else?

Desperately need help!! I am leaving tomorrow for a 9 day vacation and I just found my very first ever mealybug on this White Knight leaf that newly unfurled. I've had it for a month or so and it never had any bugs before now! What do I do? Should I just toss this plant? How do you know where the eggs are? I don't see any mealybugs in any of my other plants nearby upon a quick inspection (will do a more thorough one later after my kids are asleep) but I simply don't have the time to deal with this right now and I'm afraid they will decimate my whole collection while I'm away! What should I do?
I did recently get a couple of new, small plants online (expensive ones! Two 3-leaf monstera Thai cons in 3" pots) that came in last week and are in the same room as this one but about 3' away on a windowsill, but they don't have any bugs, and this one is further away from the window on my desk under a grow light.

Iâm guessing this is root rot with my ZZ. Is the rhizome ok? Many pictures they look more white. I plan to leaf and stem propagate this⊠but what do I do with the rhizome?

I brought new plant and saw white little bug and two webs you know what Iâm thinking right ? So I brought neem from Amazon but not home to use it but Iâm the road with it n not home I got shea butter oil and thatâs it any help ? Also I got it from a flower garden with high humidity like it had me sweating in there

Hey everyone! I donât know why but recently my Alocasiaâs have been hating me!
I believe the brown spots are from over watering seeing how the roots looks fine. I started a strict watering cycle which seems to be working but now the ends are getting dry⊠does anyone know why?
She has sprouted a new leaf which is doing GREAT!

Does anyone know why a leaf dies on my alocasia right after a new one comes in? I was thinking it was root rot but I donât overwater and I just repotted last week and there was no rot, but this is still happening. Iâm trying to keep them up with the bamboo but every time a new leaf comes in, an old one gets soft and dies.

Hi guys! You may have seen my previous post about whatâs on my alocasia. I have been treating it with neem oil. Thereâs more today and theyâre white. I am googling this but maybe Iâm not asking the right questions. Hoping I get better results from you humans! I donât see bugs. They look like eggs. What is this??

please say a prayer for this polka dot begonia.
one leaf popped off today so I chopped the other because of some browning, and threw keiki paste on her đđ letâs hope for some fresh and health foliage soon
