My Hoya Carnosa came down with Mealy Bugs 😞 thankfully DIDNT see it on any other plants. Will start treating

Ok tell me about tiny little white bugs! I am new-ish to the houseplant world and I have 2 different plants that have these tiny little seemingly-white bugs in the soil. They’re easy to miss, and seem to move when I water them or poke at the soil. I’ve seen a couple jump. Hard to get a clear photo. Also the plants don’t show any signs of damage at all. I’ve done some googling but would love insights. Thanks!

Hey does anyone know what kind of pest this is? It’s on a lily that my friend owns.

I checked my birkin this morning and the leaf broke 😭 It hasn’t been like this for long. Does anyone know why it’s like this?

Is this early thrips? Noticed my ivy has a couple deformed leaves, one looks chewed. I’ve had this guy for a couple weeks. I did notice one pest actually moving under a leaf. My eyes aren’t the best right now but it didn’t look long and thin like thrips. Nothing else moved, no other plants are seemingly affected. Thoughts?

I’m not sure what is wrong with this guy, he’s on a regular watering schedule and is not in direct sunlight. Any ideas?

My rex begonia was doing so well and all a sudden all the leaves died…besides one🥲💔 Anyone know why this happened? Have any recommendations for me?

Good morning smart people! Anyone know what to do about a Phalanopsis spike curling back into the stem?

My birds nest fern had dry, crispy ends to it’s leaves. I keep the soil moist and mist regularly. Is there something that could be causing this that I should treat or it is just my cats biting the leaves?

I got this Jelly Bean about a year ago at a farmers market. It was maybe 1” tall when I got it and was in a 5” pot with 7 other plants that shouldn’t have been together so I separated them. Anyways, I’ve seen pictures of the Jelly Bean having beautiful red tips but mine is so faded and has barely grown in a year. Is there anything I should be doing to help this guy?

Hi all, my rubber tree has spider mites! Can anyone advise on what has worked well to get rid of them? I’ve isolated it and plan on picking up neem oil, but I’m open to other suggestions. Thanks!

So, my dill for my aerogarden has been not so good. I don’t know what is going on, but I think it may be root rot. Do I just keep it in a separate container so it doesn’t spread?

Thrips! Everyone’s nemesis and so easy to miss. I found a great video on You Tube “the life cycle of thrips” on the Koppert channel. I’m guessing thrips damage is so often overlooked by us all because these little buggers are almost impossible to see until they’re full grown adults. By then they’ve laid hundreds of eggs inside the tissue of our plants. The damage caused by them is varied. 🥴

My desert rose has been slowing dropping its leaves and i can’t figure out why. They get these weird brown spots then shrivel up and drop. And the bulb has just recently gotten slightly squishy. I don’t think it’s overwatered and it’s definitely not getting too little sun. Any ideas?

Anyone know what’s up with my money tree? The past few months she has been turning yellow and dropping all its leaves. The pot it was in was too small, so I repotted her and put out a bunch of new shoots in response, but is still dropping leaves (although at a slower rate). It seems like she wants to get rid of all old growth. She was doing so well until October when she stopped growing completely then started dropping leaves. Any help would be appreciated! I just moved so I now have her a foot below a grow light in a northern corner. She used to be a couple feet from a southern window with plenty of sun.

Help my Stripped Calathea! I got my Calathea in December as a graduation gift. It was already is bad shape when I received it and I’ve been working to revive her as I know these plants are sensitive. She is in a self watering pot with tropical plant soil. I only water it with melted room temperature snow water for now, and will be watering with rainwater as we get into spring. Through the environment change and repot she was doing okay, stable but not thriving. In the last 2 weeks she has gotten a lot crispier. The areas around the crispy edges are yellow, and it keeps progressing. She currently sits in my west facing bathroom windowsill, receiving ~3 hrs of direct light and lots of indirect light. The environment is relatively humid, with 1-2 showers a day. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to better care/ revive her! Thanks! 😁

I’ve struggled with my calathea orbifolia ever since bringing them home last August. I finally had them stable and in good health. Recently though I’ve noticed one has yellow/brown spots on 2 leaves and the other one has a large dry section that continues to grow bigger on the leaf. Does anyone know the cause of this or what I can do? I use filtered and purified drinking water on my plants. It’s currently 40% humidity in here. Typically though it’s usually between 40%-50% in the room.
