Could I get some advice please?
I recently had fruit-fly looking bugs in the soil of all my indoor plants. So I have repotted them all with my all purpose potting soil bought from amazon đ
I used this potting soil before for other indoors plants and they seemed to LOVE it!!
However, this beauty is struggling for some reason and I canât tell why đ
Iâm not even sure how much sheâs struggling as sheâs got new leaves coming up at the same time (the very long one at the top middle is very new)
So my questions are:
Why do you think the leaves are yellowing? (I already cut out 2-3 yellow leaves 2 days ago)
Is my plant dying or just in shock from the repotting? / how can I reduce stress on it?

This is my beautiful bonsai. I was on holiday that was supposed to last a week but ended up being 3 weeks and I had no one to take care of my bonsai. When I came back it had a lot of dead leaves and the leaves had changed colour! Iâve pruned off the dead leaves but I was wondering is there anything I can do to help it? Or is this normal? It wasnât this colour before!

Hi, I found this fungus/mold coming out of the bottom of my Opuntiaâs pot. Is it harmful and how can I get rid of it??

My schefflera plant Lovera is dying and I don't know what to do. I had her for 7 years and I may have over watered her when going on vacation off and on for 2 months. Majority of the leaves fell, and the leaves were droopy. But I took her to a garden house and they said she was under watered and needed a smaller pot. When I gave her a smaller pot and fertilized her... replaced her and watered her. Her seems to be getting worse. Now the branches are getting soft. The water is not drying and they are starting to turn yellow.
I don't know if I should prune and cut what I can into a nursery or try to dry the soils, repot with dry soil and leave the original soil to the bottom. I'm so worried for her cause i grew her from a toddler.

I repotted this pearls and jade about a week ago and itâs leaves and stems have these spots on them and look like they are wilting. Is it just in shock or is it something else?

Anyone have any advice for my poor string of pearls? I got her abt three weeks ago, did a bunch of research on repotting and waited until the roots were long enough to repot. Sheâs in a peat moss soil with a bottom watering pot, but I discovered mold on the soil this morning! TIA đ«¶đŒ

Hello All,
I recently bought this jennie plant from home depot. Itâs actually my first ever plant. But the leaves keep on turning brown and dying. I have kept this indoor, close to the window so that it gets some sunlight. But its not helping. Any idea what can be done to bring it back to life. Below is have posted two pictures, one when i bought it and the other one is the recent one. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Iâve had my Chinese money plant for about four months now. A couple months ago I noticed these teeny tiny little grey bugs in the soil (not on the leaves at all). They are so small you can hardly see them. Iâm wondering what they are and if they will harm my plant. My plant seems fine and is still producing new leaves so Iâm wondering if itâs anything to worry about. I do have some yellowing bottom leaves recently but I believe that is because it is outgrowing itâs pit and getting root bound. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!

Any idea what could be wrong or what I should do? This is my white bird of paradise. Should I cut off the leaves?

Does anyone have any idea why my succulent is dropping like this? I donât think itâs a watering issue but it could be i guess

Hi,
Hope you are having a great day. I just got a dwarf banana plant (2 weeks ago) and it seems to be doing very bad but I donât know what the reason could be.
I repotted it into a larger ceramic pot. Iâve been following everything on the app. Placed it near a window where it should be getting enough light. Water it every 2-3 days, mist, fertilize (again everything that the app suggests).
Does anyone know what it could be and how I could fix it?
I would really really appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

Can anyone help? I noticed the leaves on one of my Calathea have been curing up at the edges, looking at the plant i noticed these white dots on the underside of some of the leaves, any advice on what they are?

Hi, I have a serious gnat fly problem. Got yellow sticky traps in every plant (around 24) and cider vinegar traps everywhere.
They help. But they seem to be everywhere. Last resort is the Hydrogen Peroxide soak. Any advice on if this will at least get them under control?
Driving me mad!

Hi my pink angel plant was doing fine. I checked on it yesterday and noticed some of the leaves fell off and some stems became droppy. What caused this and how can I avoid it? Thanks!

Not sure what Iâm doing wrong!
Iâve had this plant for 3 years Iâve tried full and part sun, Iâve had him in humid rooms and outside during the summer but he never seems to look better!
He still grows but old leaves go yellow and fall off below! Iâve repotted him in smaller and larger pots.

I cut this off my snake plant. It is the second leaf that has oozed like this. It seems to be very slow growing as the last one was a few weeks ago. What should I do?

Hey guys. I know mushrooms are a sign of healthy soil but Iâm not sure what to think of this. I added mulch to help keep the soil moist since it was so hot but now this I found under the mulch. Itâs a banana tree and it seems fine, should I scoop this out? We do have tons and tons of mushrooms that grow all over the property where I live. To add, she did have a case of spider mites not too long ago but it wasnât too bad and she wasnât affected by it. Thanks for any help! đ€
