I’ve noticed these dots on my Areca palm. Is this a pest or something to worry about?

I am a beginner plant mom, but over the last year I have attained several plants that are all still alive and seem to be doing well. I bought this creeping fig about a week ago. I repotted it last week so it would have plenty of room to grow, but I forgot to water it over the weekend. It was outside on my patio and when I went to check on it on Monday this is what it looked like. I’ve moved it inside to my office, but I am losing hope that there is any saving it. Is there any chance of revival?

Just got this polka dot plant off FB market place. The new growth looks healthy but the bottom leaves are wilted and curled. Should I trim them? I’m going to repot her and put her in indirect light. Any other thoughts or tips?

I put a humidifier right next to my money tree. It typically grows in humidity so this won’t hurt the leaves or anything right?

My watermelon peperomia is brown on mainly underside of leaves. A little bit on top. No pests but I am curious how I can prevent this and what may be causing it? Any ideas?

I have had problems with this plant and I’m not sure how to fix it. I don’t want it to die completely but one of the stems is turning brown.

This is my first monstera i’ve ever had and these small brown freckles just started to appear on the leaves. Does anybody know what these are? Are they normal or maybe indicating some kind of disease or pest?

I posted about my fiddle leaf a few weeks back. Things got worse. It has only one leaf now hanging on for dear life. I repotted- no luck. After over a month I pulled her from the pot to check the roots. I can’t make out if the roots are rotted or not. Any feedback is appreciated!! Should I repot once more? Give up? Thanks!

Has anyone had success with poinsettias? I chopped this one back at Christmas and it came back thriving, but in the last week it started dropping all its leaves. Everything that I’ve read online is contradictory and I don’t know if there’s a problem or if this is just what they do in the summer.

I got a Rex begonia about a month ago from costa farms. It started off standing straight up and now it looks sad and the soil is super hard and crumbly. All I have done is water it twice. Not sure if I should repot it or if I need to water more. Please someone help me!!! It’s such a beautiful plant P.s. the leaves are like shriveling up and turning brown on the edges. The stems are falling over.

I bought this pearls and Jade pothos just the other day on clearance, it had a lot of brown leaves and some yellowing. I removed a lot of the brown and yellow leaves but I’m unsure of what might have caused it. Does anyone know how I can save it?

hi looking for advice!! i think this is an earth star, and i’ve had it for maybe 5 days. i took the first picture on the day i got it, and the second this morning. i’m unsure what’s causing the colour loss in the leaves, too much or too little light. any help would be super appreciated🥹🫶🏼

Does anyone know what kind of pest would cause this kind of damage? If a pest at all? I’ve had spider mites in the past and this looks significantly different. There was no webbing, I looked with a magnifying glass and saw nothing. I have no clue what this can be. All other leaves on this plant look great. I also don’t think this leaf looks sad??? The plants that were next to this plant are also good. I have no idea what this is 😂

Is it normal for my pothos to have the brown/black stuff on the stems?

What’s going on with my hilo beauty? The leaves are curled in and out all different ways. I know the dead one is because of new growth…😭 Should I cut off the dead leaf?
