It finally happened to me 🙁 my lemon lime maranta hasn’t been doing great and when i looked at it closely this morning i found scale. i feel sick that i let it get as bad as it did, although it doesn’t look as bad as some i’ve seen. i immediately took it to an isolated spot and just noticed the plant next to it had one or two scale(s?) as well so moved that plant into the iso zone. i didn’t see any on the third maranta i keep on that level of shelf so i moved it to a third location by itself. all i had at home was a little bit of neem oil left so i sprayed as much as i could. after work i’m planning on getting some alcohol and q-tips and cleaning off the two plants that definitely have it, and getting some more neem oil to spray ALL the plants around the area. i also have some systemic granules. i’m just not entirely sure what all to do and where to get started 😭 any advice or words of encouragement? 😂

What are these insects on my eggplant plant? The plant is healthy with numerous blooms and a few tiny eggplants. Should I be concerned?

Have had this boy since October last year was doing really well up until a month ago when my partner moved to a new house. Leaves started dying and eventually the actual pineapple fell off. It’s still sprouting new green and healthy looking leaves (tiny buds at the moment) just wondering if it is dying slowly or it’s re growing as majorly confused.

Can anyone please help me figure out what’s going on with these plants? These are new leaves on 3 different plants, 2 are cuttings propagating in water and the other is one I just potted into soil about 2 weeks ago from a propagation. I also have a new leaf on my philodendron that’s been potted for over 9 months and doing the same thing. They appear to be curling and breaking as they are unfurling. They are in bright indirect light.

HELP! My Syngonium Berry Allusion was doing fine, but now it’s wilting? I just watered it and I saw it when I opened my curtains. I have no idea what’s going on! I don’t think it is direct sunlight (might be) because I’ve had it in the window for what feels like a month and that’s what revived it in the first place, so what is it?? PLEASE HELP!

I'm having trouble with this guy. I repotted him in good well draining soil (I had to repot twice because the first pot did not have drainage) but leaves keep curling and I just keep cutting them off. One of the root ball things fell off during the repot and I figured that was why the leaves are dying. But I could use some advice here. Before and after pic. His name is Cosmo he is a rattlesnake plant. Someone please help! He's losing so many leaves!!

Would anyone know what causes these spots? It’s on several of the leaves now and I just want to know if I’m doing something wrong! I’m trying to bottom water a lot because I was having a tiny fungus gnat problem so I think that lead to a bit of under-watering for several plants. Nothing too severe though. I also wipe down my leaves often to prevent pests & I used alcohol once for some mealybugs. Could that be the culprit? It looks otherwise healthy to me.

I got a golden pothos (named him chuck norris) a few weeks ago at ikea, and it was doing great. But then a few days ago, his leaves started turning yellow. They’re multiple pothos propagations and also has some brown spots. What should I do?

This is my peppermint herb plant. I bought it and repotted it a couple months ago. It’s been declining for a while since I noticed there were some bugs in it. I think they may be harmful to the plant because the leaves are browning and shriveling, plus some stems were shriveling from the roots. I found lots of aphid-looking bugs on the majority of the plant (on the stem and bottom of leaves) and that’s where it seemed to be failing. I have also been spraying it with neem oil, and I’m not sure that’s helping. Also, in the soil are teeny tiny white bugs crawling around everywhere plus one or two bugs that look like gnats. There appears to be black sooty mold on the leaves in addition to those white spots. How do I save it? Or is it beyond saving? Thanks!

Why my basil has this little yellow dots on the leaves? I’m a beginner plant parent. I got it from my friend several weeks ago. It’s on my southwest facing patio with direct sunlight. I live in Northern California. I water once a day in the morning and remove the excessive water. Thank you for your help.

I took some hoyas out to harden off and get used to being outside. I left them in direct morning sun too long and they got sunburned! The Dragons Tail got sun burned last month. It has been outside for months. It got moved into direct sun accidentally during cleaning. 😩 The others are Hoya Globulosa and a Hoya NOID (from West Kalimantan, Indonesia). NOID means No identification. No designer label.

I just picked up my plants from my friend who was babysitting them while I was away for a year. Not sure what happened with my ZZ plant – lack of water, maybe? Is it possible to nurture her back to health? If so, how? Do I cut off all the dried up parts and remove dead foliage? Refresh the soil maybe? Any advice welcome!

Can someone assure me I didn’t kill my Rex begonia 🥲 I decided to put new soil in all my plants and mix in perlite with all of them, it’s been two days and Edgar is very droopy and the stems are very flexible and not sturdy, I know begonias can be temperamental so is he just being sassy and will he return to normal or did I totally F up? Thanks 😅

Anyone know why my pink arrowhead plant is falling over? I just repotted her as she was rootbound and she is planted in tropical soil. I rotate her once a week and she stays in this window. Not sure why she is doing this

I just fertilized her yesterday, and the soil isn’t dry. I’m not sure if it humidity . Does anyone have a guess as to why she’s curled up like this?
