My elephant bush bonsai has these weird spots, the leaves are slowly shriveling up and falling which makes me think scales (or some other kind of bug like pest) but I don’t know what to look for to be sure. Nor how best to treat it. Any ideas? Ps she’s still producing new leaves.
I was wondering what is wrong with my money tree? Some of it’s leaves have been whitening, yellowing, and crinkling over the past month and I’ve tried my best to cut most of them off each day to get new growth (which has worked) but, does anyone know what’s wrong?
Hi everyone just wondering about my bamboo palm. It’s looking pretty crispy (just watered, and I water every week). Does it need humidity, fertilizer, etc.
Hello! In need of some advice for my new Black Stem Alocasia that I just got from the nursery today! I noticed there’s 3 stems that are missing and have dried at the tips when I purchased it, do I need to attend to these stems or will they be fine just as is?
I got this Alocasia as a clearance plant at Lowe’s (score!). The leaf in the second photo has had these spots since I bought it. I checked for spider mites before I bought it, treated it anyway to be safe, and since then it has two new leaves, 1 about to unfurl, and 2 new sprouts. Clearly it’s thriving, but what could this be??
Hey!! What’s a natural antibiotic oil/ spray that I can use on my plant? I already know neem oil :) thanks!
I have brown spot on my money tree, any tips to get rid of that?
who is she and why is she on my monstera and my zz plant (both outdoors in missouri). ):<
My alocasias have spider mites. I want to v0mit. I know how to treat and they’re soaking in the tub right now all sprayed, but you guys, I want to v0mit. They were in close proximity to at least 12 other plants.
Recently purchased this plant and planter from someone on FB marketplace. The photos suggested it was beautiful and thriving - got it home and it was quickly determined that was not the case. I’m afraid it got too hot in my car during transport as the leaves looked a little wilted when I got it to my house. I quickly tried to research and react to adjust it to its new home. It’s been down hill ever since. I had to completely remove a branch that was totally curled up and appears dead. I didn’t want that to steal from some of these other leaves that still look like there may be a chance. Then some leaves have just started dropping off and I just got home to a few others on the floor. I’m discouraged. It feels like a big waste of money and I’m hoping some of you can tell me if this is salvageable or not. I’m afraid it’s a little too far gone but I’m really not sure. I have a smaller one that I’ve had for awhile and although it’s grown slow, she’s beautiful. Please help 💚 Also please note I’ve had this for one week 🥲
Hey everyone, My polka is always having these brown bumps and I’m not sure what they are. I can easily scrape them off but they always reappear. When I do scrape them off they’re soft. Of note, there are a couple ants crawling around but I don’t notice any other pests on the leaves. I’ve used neem oil and a Castile soap mixture but they still come back. The plant seems otherwise healthy except I noticed some of the new growth leaves are all green with minimal pink dots. Any ideas?
Y’all know what’s going on with my bird of paradise? I will not mentally recover if I lose her haha
Help! My friend gave me a cutting from their Golden Pothos, and it didn't have an Aerial root, but I put it in water anyways. Then I was away for about 4 days, and my dad was taking care of my plants, and I came back and the leaf was basically all yellow! There are no roots on the plant yet, it was in direct sunlight and I just moved it to indirect sunlight earlier today. Anything else I can do to help it?
Hello! I’ve owned this fiddle leaf plant about two weeks and have watered it twice, placed in inside near a window but i started to look like this. Can anyone tell me what’s the problem and any tips to try and help her?
Hello all, I just recently got this Philodendron Birkin, all the leaves were green when I bought it, but a week after coming home the leaves started to yellow. At first I had it to close to the window and i thought the leaves were burning, but even after moving it, more leaves were still yellowing. Has anyone had this issue?
Elephant plant going yellow on one side :/ soil is moist. I’m thinking it’s not enough sun on this side so I’ve moved it so that the yellow leaves are in the sun. Does it seem like this problem can’t be fixed? Is the plant dying?
This type of stuff is all over my golden Pothos. I just sprayed it with neem oil. Do you guys know what this is?
Just took this over from my sister, lots of the leaves are dead, what should I do?

Help! Why is my snake plant turning light brown? Overwatering? Underwatering?
