It’s not often that I get a plant delivered that is both too dry and with too wet soil. This round leaf Hoya Sigillatis (Borneo) came in with dry leaves and some leaves yellowing from root rot. The soil was wet on arrival. It started to grow fungus two days later or so I thought. Turns out the entire soil is filled with it. I usually wait to replace potting mix to lessen the stress on the plant. But, the ever increasing fungus gnats let me know that immediately throwing out this muddy soil is the best option. I’m enamored with my narrow leaf Hoya Sigillatis. It’s beautifully marked, full of new growth with no dry tips. It’s in a potting mix that works well. So, I got the round leaf as well. It’s just needs a little TLC once I change out the potting mix.

Hi guys does anyone know why my pothos has brown spots on the leaves? Is it a watering problem or is it getting too much sun? I have it hanging right by a window

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share a tip for fungus gnats. I used to have a bunch of sticky traps for gnats but I saw someone on instagram talking about these mosquito drops. You can get them on Amazon and you just put a few drops into your watering jug/can every time you water and it kills the larvae. I literally threw out all of my sticky traps because I don’t have gnats anymore! I would keep your sticky traps to catch any adult flies you currently have but after a few weeks of using these drops and eventually getting all of your plants watered with them, you shouldn’t have any more adults flying around. Also, the drops come in a little bottle inside the container pictured and they last me about a month. Just make sure to keep these drops stocked going fwd!

Brown spots on monstera. Any idea what would cause this? The rest of the plant looks pretty healthy. I know it needs to be dusted.

Hello! I bought this insecticidal spray and just wanted to know if anyone has used it and how you liked it? I haven’t used it yet but I gotta get these gnats under control. Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Does anyone know why a few of my dwarf gasteria’s leaves have become loose and came out? There’s no brown spots on any of them so I’m not sure what’s going on

I just bought a new snake plant. I watered it a few days after receiving it but I think it overwatered. One of the leaves died and the other one is wilting a lot (bottom of the leaf feels very soft). Should I just wait it out and hope that it’ll get back to normal or should I intervene somehow?

What is this!?! I just bought this today! Edit: I think it's a spider or fly that got encased in whatever. I got enough courage to break it open. The last photo shows the remains of the thing.

My sister planted her pothos in a plastic container, and she poked it enough holes in the bottom. But she was wondering if this is mold?

i’m in need of advice🥲 i replanted some of my plants and watered them and now there’s white mold on top of the soil. this happens almost everytime! i don’t know if the soil i’m using is the problem or if i watered too much for the specific season. any help would be lovely!

currently fighting a spider mite problem. it’s my first time with this pest, and i purchased neem oil and captain jacks insecticide super soap. i spray the soap on plants i see mites on, and after it dries i spray neem oil. the oil also goes on close-by plants as a preventative. is there anything else i should be doing? i cut off very infested foliage, also, to minimize spreading. pic of the scalped plant that caused all this mess🙄
