I found some strange bugs crawling around my African violets soil. It was so small I could hardly tell what it was or get a picture of it (they were smaller than a flea). They looked kind of brown / white but I canāt for the life of me, figure out what they were. Anyone have any ideas on what it might be?
I have some hoya obsura plants that are all showing yellow spotted leaves that eventually fall off. I thought they were being overwatered. So, I increased the time between watering to let the soil mix dry out. The yellowing still persists. It has been over 2 months. I checked the soil today. It still looks fine with no root rot or insects. Iām assuming the chunky mix needs to completely dry out for these plants to be happy. Iām open to suggestions.
Believe it or not, this is a silver nerve plant! It all the sudden grew super tall upwards and is now really awkward. I heard about pruning it to make it more aesthetic - would that just mean cutting off the weird legs that it grew? Thanks for any advice :)
Hello, I just recently got these plants and they all seem to by turning yellow- except for my Haworthia, who is turning a purple-ish red. Thanks!
Please what is wrong with my calathea - the lower leaves started drooping as it got darker so I put her under a grow light and that seemed to stop it for a while, but now itās started again. Itās only the lower droopy leaves that have brown/yellow sides. Thanks!
Hi! I have Pilea which I got from friend of mine, and the small one is not doing well. At first I realized that mold was present on surface, so i put stones at the bottom for more drainage. Still, since the weather and the room doesnt get much sun, soil donāt dry out for at least 5days. Itās been more than a month and half. It had only 3 leaves and now only one. The leaves turn to brown from center, then drop. I realized that the ātrunkā of it turned into white. The bigger one in the same pot, however, is doing okay-ish and even started to produce a baby leaf. Should I remove the small one and deal with it separately? Is there any advice for my little poor Pileašš¼
hello! does anyone know what these black spots are on my ivy plant and how to get rid of them? they are on the underside of the leaves on the end of the strands.
Any suggestions on how to make my plant more bushy? Other photos Iāve seen of this baby have more leaves and sprouts from the root, but mine is acting more like a hanging pothos and only grows from the arms. If fertilizer is the answer, any advice on type?
Help! My Chinese evergreen is a limp noodle after moving it from water! Iāve been keeping the soil moist.
More and more of these brown spots are popping up on my plantš¢ someone help!!!!
I donāt know how to get rid of these pest that keep showing up on my dieffenbachia, so Iām open to suggestions. I have been cleaning the leaves weekly with neem oil. I made sure that when I saw the problem to repot it to get rid of the old soil and wash the plant and its roots. But the pest still keeps coming back
Hello Iām fairly new to being a plant mom. Over this past week my actual mom took care of my plants, and I came back home to my Monstera having a white superficial layer on the soil. Research says that this is a type of fungus. I removed an inch of the top layer of soil, and then sprinkle cinnamon to prevent the fungus from going back. However, itās back. Please help me on how to treat this because itās really stressing me out for the sake of my plants well be. š©šš«
Why is this happening? This plant is kind of close to a vent so I was wondering if itās too close to heat ?
This is my first encounter with black aphids. I think they are aphids. Whatever they are, they are annoying since they headed straight for the tender new growth on my Hoya Bella. I have sprayed soapy dishwater on them and the 10 plants close by with subsequent spraying to follow every week. Oh wellā¦šŖ²
Hi! I gave my mini monstera new soil after a few years because there was mold growing on top of it, she used to be standing tall and thriving and now sheās droopy. No yellow leaves or anything like that. What could be wrong?
Can anyone help? This is anthurium lux I got, the leaf is starting to crumple and go yellow, itās the only leaf so a little unsure
pretty sure i overwatered this girl, sheās got 2 brown leaves and are soggy. should i repot or will she be fine? didnāt want it to spread or sit too long.
Ok so my mom has two very beautiful money trees, one is eleven years old and the other is only a year or two old. They thrive outside in the summer, get big and healthy branches and leaves and they look great. But when we bring them inside from the winter cold, they look so sad and they wilt and lose leaves and stems. My dad says that itās because of the change of climate and we just keep them inside all year long. My mom disagrees because they are so happy outside. Any tips? Idk what we should do.
Does anyone know what this yellowing could be from? I have looked at my plants multiple times up close and canāt find any bugs at all. The soil was holding water so I repotted it not very long ago. The roots were healthy and Iāve been getting news leaves and had 2 flowers. Iām just not sure if it was from overwatering or could maybe be a nutrient deficiency or something else? I appreciate any help/advice!
My moms money tree keeps dropping these yellow leaves. No pest issues found. Sheās never had a problem with over/underwatering it. Any ideas?
