Help! My dieffenbachia leaves wont stop yellowing I’ve only had it about a week or two and I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong. It gets lots of sun, I don’t think I’ve over watered it and it doesn’t have any pests I don’t know what I could change.
I’ve got a gnat issue! 😩 Has anyone else used Mosquito Bits and Systemic Granules in conjunction? I mean I would alternate them each week by sprinkling them on the soil then using watering with water soaked in mosquito bits.
Got a bag of succulent soil a few weeks ago, re-potted a few plants. I come back to it to repot another one and it’s INFESTED with tiny bugs and a few gnats. Im so frustrated and stressed out, not quite sure what to do or how to handle this. I already took my plant out of its old pot and broke up the soil around its roots. Any advice?
Hello recently got this rubber plant few days ago and it’s developing brown spots on several leaves. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to prevent it? Thanks in advance.
Has anyone seen this weird spiral looking growth from a mint plant before?? It looks decently healthy but I have never seen anything like it! I wonder what caused it to happen. Thoughts??
Does anyone know the best way to pot a sensitive plant? I had it in its plastic nursery pot for a while and it was doing well there but I knew it would dry out while I was on vacation. I took it out and it had root rot so I trimmed as much as I could and put it in water. It’s been in here for about two weeks and pretty much all the leaves are starting to yellow on the ends and they don’t open up as much as they used to. I like that it can’t die in a few hours if it dried out like it would in a pot, but the leaves seem worse off than after I tried to fix the root rot.
What’s this bug called?
Hello Everyone! I have a problem with the baby leaves going black on my monstera, and I have no idea what is causing this. I had to leave my plants in the care of another for over a month. So, I knew that my plants would probably go through some issues (my friend did her best, and I’m so grateful she made time to take care of my plant babies). During this time, these baby leaves started going black and curling up on the edges. The big leaves are still growing big and strong with no issues. She watered according to my schedule and everything, so I am at a loss as I have never seen this before. Does anyone have any thoughts?
I have Nectarine tree and I don’t know what these spots are. Might be a fungus of some sort. Any idea
Someone please please tell me this is mold and not what I’m thinking it could be 😭. I’ve never had a pest problem before and I’m so scared of one. the soil is still damp and i watered it five days ago. It’s sits about a foot from a south east facing window where it gets partial sun all day. None of my other plants that are next to it seem to be affected.
I’m noticing some yellowing on some of the leaves of my cast iron. I’m not even sure if it’s yellowing, or the leaves just lightening. It’s also putting out tons of new growth. Are the leaves just lightening from its proximity to the window? Are some of older leaves dying off to make way for all the new ones? I have it in a partial sunny place and I only water when the top of the soil is dry.
Does anyone know what kind of bug this is? Should I be concerned? I check for pest whenever I water. Or is this just a harmless little thing that’s decided to live on my plant?
Hi there, I’ve noticed my Calathea Pinstripe has gone a bit droopy. I bottom water it once a week. Does anyone have any recommendations or is this plant just being dramatic?
String of pearls here. Is this a sign of under or overwatering? They’re shrunken and slightly squishy
There are two different problems here on my Hoya pubicalyx. Firstly one leaf is turning lighter and has a orangish yellow mark on it. Secondly, the other leaf has brown spots on it if anyone can help identify what is causing either of these that would be deeply appreciated!
Is this normal for a orchid to do this when it’s growing new leafs/stems?
Y’all. So like everyone else, my majesty palm has been shaky since I brought her home. I’m finally seeing some growth here and there but still have brown, dried out leaves. I’ve been pruning for a while but don’t want to overdo it. Should I cut the stem where it’s no longer green, cut off the specific leaves, or leave as is and hope it comes back (at the expense of other growth)? Please help!
Is something wrong with my PPP (“Peach”) or is this natural, they are the original leaves when i got the plant… although some of the newer leaves seem to be looking sickly..? I have it in well draining soil, in a clear pot so i can monitor the roots and they look fine. Use a grow light.. i do sometimes go a week to a week and a half sometimes without watering.. 😅😂 only sometimes though… TIA
My aloe plant has some droopy arms that seem to be unattached from the main plant. Any tips on what to do?
Does anyone know how to deal with spider mites? One of my spider plants just came down with them. So annoying!😣 I moved it away from all my other plants and sprayed it with some watered down rubbing alcohol and dish soap but I just want to make sure I’m dealing with this correctly. Thanks
