Can you guys help me identify the pest in the pink circle? I have a leather fern I am nursing back to health. These little guys wiggle around and when I water the plant they all float up for a brief moment they settle back down in the soil. Not sure if it’s friendly or a foe??

My song of India has this white film on all of its new growth. I have washed it off a couple times with water but I keeps coming back. I think it’s some kind of bug but everything I look up just says to wash it away with water. Any other suggestions would be super appreciated.

Anyone know what this is on my Coleus Rose Wizard? Is this blight? Some are bigger, some smaller. They’re a shiny silver and nearly transparent. Like a butterfly wing or that weird skin on a bat wing. Indoor plant. Moved it outside into a shady area and it seems happier but it’s been like this since I got it. Treated it once with copper.

Recently I brought this plant and the leaves are falling off at the bottom like it’s tall with no petals at the bottom so I guess it’s leggy should I cut it down and repot or wait it’s shows it can grow on it’s own bcuz it was in a store with no sunlight

Any recommendations on getting rid of fungus gnats? There are so many different remedies out there and I don’t know what works and what doesn’t!

What can I do to help this fern? It’s been like this for about a year, dying back and then sprouting a few fronds. Planta wants me to water it every other day, but the soil is staying wet so I’m skipping waterings.

Just discovered veryyyy small round brown bugs climbing on the outside of my hoya pot. There was also some on the small new growth. Any ideas what it could be. Def not scale, mealy bugs, thrips, spider mites.

Does anyone know how to help my Chinese evergreen (Bj freeman)? This is my largest and favorite plant that I’ve had for almost a year and has usually been thriving. Typically looks a lot fuller (first picture) and in the past few weeks has been losing a lot more leaves that yellow and then slowly die. Now the back sort of has a bare spot since so many leaves have been lost, and it’s still growing some new leaves but not much. It’s about 10ft from a northeastern light window, and I’ve been following Planta’s watering/fertilizing/misting schedule. I haven’t changed anything I’ve been doing since I got it, and it’s been in the same location this whole time, any ideas?? Losing this plant would crush me, I’m trying to make sure I save it before it gets too far gone 😔

So after the information received here about my poor parlor palm, I was determined to save her despite the permanent damage that she has as a result of what is believed to have been thrips. I didn’t find any signs of them, which may be because a couple of weeks ago I cleaned all the soil on my plants and the leaves on my two palms to eradicate the fungus gnats. Sadly, I believe the damage was already done. Yesterday I cleaned the leaves and stalks with gentle soap and water. Rinsed her off real good, including the roots. I removed any dead stalks that were hard or no longer had the roots attached and a couple of severely damaged leaves. To my surprise I found that there are two new stalks sprouting. She wants to live and appears to be rewarding my efforts to save her with new growth. I am proud to say that while she may be thinned out a bit, I think she is already showing promise. Thank you for the information on what was plaguing her. I’m so glad I found this community to share my love of plants and propagating with. The first, fifth and sixth photos are the ones I posted the other day. The second, third and fourth are from today. Sorry, I couldn’t choose what order the pictures showed in.

My spider plant that had been beautifully full and healthy is drooping and turning yellow from the top down. I had to move its location and it immediately started doing worse and now it’s lost more than half its leaves and looks awful. What could be going on?
