I was watching a friend's Kalanchoe for her and I just pulled off these leaves. Then gave the rest a good spray with a neem oil mix. What does it look like to you all? Scale?

I’m a new plant parent and I’ve been having trouble keeping this little one healthy. He’s suffered from sunburn, potential overwatering (I struggle determining proper portions) and turned pink from stress. I know I need to change the soil (it was a last ditch effort) but any tips would be amazing 😭😭

Hey everyone I’m a somewhat new plant mom.. I got this money tree that is so beautiful. I call him mojo jojo… he was such a big tree for his pot that I repotted him about 3 weeks ago. I took the rubber band off but now it looks like his peeling badly. I really hope I didn’t mess him up. Please help thank you

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? 🫣
