I just discovered these teeny tiny bugs on the pot of my zz plant. If anyone could help identify them I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi everyone! I recently bought this Golden Creeping Jenny and was told that she would love the shade in my room and wouldn’t need much maintenance. Unfortunately she seems very unhappy! Noodle’s leaves (as I have named her) are very brown and crispy 🄲 Any help/suggestions are very much appreciated!

I tried to use the app to diagnose my inch plants latest problem but it didn’t help very much. Does anyone know what makes the leaves turn this almost faded color? He gets part sun/shade but mostly late afternoon sun. I’m in south Louisiana. The first photo shows this one with the off colored leaves and the other one is further outside and thriving. He also gets part sun/shade maybe not as much afternoon though.

Please help. Are the spiders and eggs harmful to my mint? Do I need to get rid of them? Suggestions? There are about 6 four to five inch webs.

Tried to proprogate my snake plant. Roots are brown. What should l do? I have been changing water weekly like it said. Should I just clip these off and start fresh again?

I finally found the reason for my plant dying and yellowing all over. Root rot šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« I’ve never had root rot before. I cut all of the stringy, mushy stuff off but wondering if I got it all? Some of the tips of the nodes were brown/black but idk if that’s soil or rot. Are the leaves that have already started yellowing, done for? Or do they have a chance? If you notice any rot In the pictures that I need to remove please let me know! I don’t really know what to look for other than the mush

My burrows tail keeps dropping its leaves from the end of its vines. They get shriveled up as you can see. Am I not wandering it enough? Any advice on what I can do.

Noticed my peperomia hope was dropping leaves, so repotted it yesterday in a more shallow pot with fresh dry potting soil. This morning, I noticed a couple more leaves had dropped. Any advice ?

Hi I bought this plant in Sainsbury’s (I know🫣)it was really nice. I’ve cut some peppers off and water regularly and it seems like it’s dying now some are drying out on the stem. Is this because I need to pick them or is it maybe a too a sunny spot? It’s in my window that gets sunlight most of the day, would love if someone can let me know. Please help 🄹🄹

Can anyone help me please!!!! My plant was so beautiful for the first 6 months after I brought him home, I was taking proper care and then all of a sudden it just started dying out of the blue. I’ve watered, waited to water, given vitamins and electrolytes and nothing has helped. I have been watering it on a fixed schedule as to not drown it. Please help this is one of my favourites 🄲

Accidentally knocked a leaf off my dipladenia; what is this milky substance and will my baby be okay?

Are the brown spots on my ruby ficus normal or fungal maybe? It seems to be spreading to other leaves but I’m not sure how to treat it because I can’t tell from googling it exactly what might be causing it. Bright indirect light and I don’t think I’ve been letting it get too dry or watering it too much. Could be wrong though!

Okay, guys I’m officially stumped! All of my pothos are sad. I’m finding new growth that’s warped and curled with brown spots, and my largest has odd brown spots of what appears to be dirt but is definitely not dirt. The watering schedule hasn’t changed and I can’t find any new pests ( there’s just a residual fungus gnat colony which I’m not concerned about) they have had spider mites in the past, but I did treat them for two months and found no issues. Do your guys have any ideas? It’s really frustrating! Thanks in advancešŸ’š

Recently reported him as he was very root bound and needed a bigger space to grow. Since then he’s developed these 2 very soft spots on one of his leaves, which is causing that leaf to die. Can someone explain to me what I need to do to fix this as I don’t want him to die over something I can solve.

Is this fungi on them? They were exposed yesterday… and if it isn’t, how long should I wait to put it with my other plants?

I was gifted these air plants and I have noticed small white dots on them. They do not look like mealy bugs? Should I be concerned?

So I recently got this ponytail palm from target. And all its leaves have rotted off for some reason. I had one before and it thrived :-( Is this plant a lost cause now ?

Looking for some insight. I’ve had this little greenhouse under a grow light and everything inside has been happy here for months. Now in the last few days everything is looking terrible- the string of pearls has mushy looking pearls, the sedum is getting weird spots and parts are falling off, the Chinese money plant leaves are curling and yellowing… I’ve changed nothing about this set up since I put it all together. I keep the door open so it isn’t too humid inside. I make sure things actually need watered before watering. Any ideas on what is going on?
