I just got this Alocasia Dragon Scale and it came with flying gnats. How can I get rid of them asap?? I haven’t had a plant pest infestation before and would like to save the plant - even though it looked half dead on arrival!

My monstera is thriving but I just noticed these weird brown straight lines on one of the newer leaves. It’s as if it’s been cut. Any ideas?

Hey, newb here. Been caring for a handful of plants for 3-4 months now. This dieffenbachia was living its absolute best life in my north facing window with no drama. I’ve arrived today and it seems to have taken a turn for the worse… regular watering, hasn’t been moved, no warning signs. Could anyone point me in the direction of the issue and to save this sad thing! Could it be a temperature drop we have had in the last couple of days? Thankyou

I got this silver dragon 8 days ago, maybe like 2-3 days ago I noticed the bigger leaf started to droop, I thought maybe the pot was too big so I repot it into a smaller pot (today) but unsure if this is the issue, does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? (First photo is the day I got it and second it today)

Hello, Somethings been eating my night blooming jasmine (along with my basil and peppers). I’ve sprayed it with neem oil but the problem persists. Any suggestions on what it may be/what to do? Thanks!

I had a nearly identical issue with this same plant this past March and Jan. Originally I feared the worst, but considered perhaps I’d accidentally dripped fertilizer onto the leaves. In each past case, the decaying progressed and I removed the leaves. Pest? Fungus? I’ve ruled out damage. These two are the most recent issues and began with a strange sheen you may be able to see in the third photo of the same leaf back in mid July. Thank you for any advice you may have if you’re familiar with or have experienced this.

Flf bottom leaves

Hi, My fiddle leaf fig is growing leaves at the bottom instead of having new growth at the top. Should I remove the bottom leaves to redirect the energy to the top? And im also wondering if the top node is dead. Thanks for any suggestions!

Any idea why my hollyhock plant has odd brown spots and yellowing on some of its leaves, and why other leaves have small orange dots on them? Is it a pest problem? Thank you!!

Any ideas why my tornado Dracaena is not growing? It’s been like this for almost a year. The two little leaves in the middle have been that way for almost a year too which is where the new leaves usually come out.

Woke up to this one falling over! It almost seems too heavy for the bottom half to hold up if I trim the top off, will it regrow?

Ficus Melany. Any thoughts as to why the leaves are turning yellow/brown? Sits in an unobstructed east window and gets quite a bit of morning light. The soil feels completely dry right now (two knuckles in) even though I just watered a few days ago. A lot of water comes out of the drainage hole. Should I bottom water in the shower tub?
