Hey guys! My dwarf umbrella tree is getting these leaves with brown spots. Two of them fell off. They’re all on pretty new leaves. I’m not sure what’s wrong?

I was wondering if this is normal for a caladium? Some leaves are straight up and others are drooping

Anyone know what these bugs on my elephant bush could be? They are very tiny and brown, I attached a picture of a q-tip with them on it as a size reference. I don’t see any damage that they are causing as of right now.

Slowly but surely she's withering away. 😕 she was doing so well. Had her since last July. All of a sudden she just started going downhill. I took her outside to check the soil and see what was up. I don't know what to do. Really don't want to say this is it. Not sure if I should repot the separate pieces in smaller more draining pots or what. Please help.

You can't see it well in the picture, but I was going to water my American rubber plant, Justin, and I felt the soil to see if I should water it or not when I noticed a few tiny white dots that were crawling on the soil. What are these, are they harmful, and what should I do about them? Thanks.

I was checking up on my jade plant that I’ve had for like 2 years just now and I found a bunch of this little greenish white stuff in the soil. Can someone tell we what it is? Fungus, bugs… should I be worried?

I planted some cucumbers in this pot, and they were doing great. but I have noticed that they have barely grown in the last week or so. Are they too crowded in this part now? Or something else? Honestly, my sunflowers have also stopped growing. around the same time

Hello! I need some assistance with my tomato plant. Shes been growing a month now and we got one tomato :D. However, I noticed that there aren’t other tomatoes growing from this plant and every time I see a bud (or flower) it dies within a day (as shown in the image). Is there anyway I can overcome this issue so I get more tomatoes? Is this normal? For reference, I water my plant every day and it gets good sunlight throughout the day. Gracias :)

My money tree doesn’t look happy. I live in Florida we are currently experiencing heavy downpour so I am unable to sit her outside and there is currently no sunlight. Any suggestions? (No bugs, fertilized seven days ago, not overwatered).

Help! I over watered my string of hearts about a week ago. her bigger leaves are all soft and wrinkly. 🥺 I repotted her into new dry soil yesterday but there was some roots that fell off the nodes and some nodes were squishy but I pruned them off. Will it make a full recovery? 🫣

Hey all! Unfortunately my new plants (sweet mint & rosemary) were bought infected with thrips. They’re not very big and don’t have a lot of growth, but I aggressively removed infected/damaged leaves anyway. I was advised that dish soap (dawn), neem oil, and hydrogen peroxide (3%) is a good mix for getting rid of these guys, and so far so good! I actually don’t have neem oil on hand, so it’s just dawn and hydrogen peroxide, but it seems to be doing the trick. My next spray mixture will have neem oil in it, I was just desperately trying to get a head of these pests because it seemed like they did a lot of damage just over night. My partner and I can’t see many, if any, adults left on the plants as I’ve been misting them 1-2 times a day and physically wiping off areas that seemed like hotspots. I’ve also been misting the soil with the mix just in case there’s eggs/larva. Anyway, is there anything else I could be or should be doing? What about prevention for the future? I’m worried that they might die because I bought and repotted them 6 days ago, so they’ve already been through a lot of stress. The sweet mint was literally growing like a weed for the first 3 days before I noticed the damage on the leaves. But it felt like a trade off between constant damage over time from thrips, or a bit of damage/stress from treatment and leaf removal to get rid of them quickly and letting the plant heal after. I read eggs/larva can get into the soil so that protects them from the mix, so that’s why I’ve continued to mist them at least once a day to keep those from turning into more breeding adults. When would I repot these guys to give them fresh, pest free soil, or is repotting not necessary if all of the thrips are dead? Would I rinse off/soak the roots in water as well? I’d be worried about breakage since they have thin roots, but I repotted them with the soil they came with + adding well draining soil in the surrounding areas since these pots are bigger than what they were in, so I’m wondering about how deep thrip infestation can be. Thank you all!

We noticed that the leaves of our bird of paradise are starting to curl. Any idea why that might be? We water it every 10 days, it’s 5 feet away from a very large East-facing window. Any tips appeciated!

I have been dealing with aphids on my indoor flowering plants, I’ve tried showering them and using different sprays without success. Curious if anyone has successfully used live ladybugs for aphid control?
