so my little celosias are not doing great. when we water them in the morning they perk up a little bit then throughout the day they start to really droop. i live in nevada. and about this time of year itās cold at night but hot during the day. iām assuming they donāt like the cold. any suggestions? or do these guys just not live during the cold months?

Hi so went to look at my Venus flytrap Jeff Iāve had him a few weeks and I come to check on him this morning and annoying I didnāt get a photo of it but on one of the stalks saw a tiny transparent worm which after a google search is a nematode and now apparently there are good nematodes and bad ones and before I could think about making the pest evacuate the premises itās jumped into the soil so what do I do? How do I know if itās a dodgy one or not donāt want to kill Jeff

Good morning! We have a wonderful little pineapple plant thatās been doing really well for the last year, but all of a sudden the stalk that holds up the pineapple has begun to yellow and looks like itās going to give up soon (weāre also propping up the pineapple with a chopstick!). Any ideas on how to save it? Thank you!

Hello, Iām a fairly new plant mom & have been troubleshooting this plant for the last month. At first I thought it was infected so I started spraying it with copper fungicide. That seemed to help a little bit I could tell the problem is deeper. I was finally able to dump the pot of soil to check the roots and this is what they look like. The flower shop that sold me this plant gave it to me in a planter that had zero drainage holes, so the soil was super moist even tho weāve only watered it minimally. š« Do yiu think the brown spots and sickness was solely due to no drainage or something else too? Iām repotting today with my own mix of good draining soil, perlite, peat moss. I pray I can revive this beauty. Should I just trim the brown part from the leaves or what else can I do to help this sick plant? Any advice would be greatly appreciated š

Thereās a bunch of really tiny (like so small I canāt get a picture) green bugs on my plants and idk if theyāre bad or not. There doesnāt seem to be any damage to the plants so I think they might just live there. Any thoughts??

I was graced today by my white princess philodendronās first pink patch only to further inspect that I am having a fungus gnat and thrips problem on almost all my plants! I have way too many and can not isolate each one. Any tips?

Hello I hope you are all well. My lemongrass has been growing strong until a few days ago and I donāt know what to do or what is wrong with it. I have looked into Rust on lemongrass but Iām unsure if that is whatās going on. Iām worried for my child please help š

Hi all! What do u think is wrong with my aloe plant!? I recently trimmed those inner leaves, the outer ones have been cut for a while. It may not get enough water or sunlight- Included the distance from the glass door So should I cut those guys off? I am sure to use cinnamon to close the wounds after cuttings to prevent bacteria but maybe it didnāt help

There are little centipede-like bugs that get out of the soil when I water my plant. Are they bad?? What to do?

Hi there, I am a pretty experienced plant parent who hasnāt had pests up until this point. However I am very paranoid that my Philodendron might have thrips. Any thoughts? I have also noticed in the past that my pothos nājoy has had what appears to be dirt on the bottom of the leaves (sorry I donāt have a photo)ā¦ I would appreciate any advise you all have!

Have had this mystery plant for a little over a year and there have been no issues, but recently she developed brown spots all over her leaves. She is usually in low light a few feet from the window, and I water her daily, so I was curious if it could be root rot (and if so, what I should do). Would greatly appreciate if anyone knows what she is or could give a diagnosis. :)

Hi everyone! I recently got my Ponytail Palm around a month or so ago and this started happening. I watered it a bit a couple days ago and left it alone to hopefully heal but it still looks like this. The soil is completely, completely dry so Iām watering it a bit again. Anyone know whatās happening and how to fix it??

My little cat decided she was hungry, though she constantly eats and throws it up, so her first option was the air plant I had on the top shelf on a faraway bookshelf. Apparently she didnāt see the two food bowls she had to pass to get to it, so. Here it is. Quick note, the reason I posted this under āPests, diseases and problemsā is b/c my cat is all of those things I love her though. Somehow.

Planta is telling me my money tree is not getting enough sun. This makes no sense to me because she is as close to my window as possible, and my room gets long hours of afternoon sun. Is Planta right or should I just ignore it? (And I do have the correct info in the settings of the plant that says she is right by the window.)

Why is my golden pothos yellowing

Hello! Iām coming here very concerned for my sunflower plant ā¹ļø it seems to be gaining more brown spots on its lower leaves which I thought was a watering issue at first but that doesnāt seem to be the problem.. can anyone help diagnose? Someone said fungal and I just want a second opinion and also some remedies if so. Thanks š»š¤
