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.

Just picked up my mom’s abandoned Peace Lily and she is not looking too good. Does anybody know what may be wrong? I am only a beginner 😬

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
Felicia
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?

Hello! Can anyone give me any insight as to what’s going on with my bird of paradise? So I bought this plant in March 2024 from FB marketplace and it was beautiful, green, and full with many leaves. It’s June 2024 and it has since lost 8 of its leaves (all the lower older leaves that turned dry, hard, brown) and no longer points upward and appears droopy and sparse. The stems also appear to have decreased in volume. I have her near a large south facing window (so bright, indirect) and water once the soil feels more dry 2in down. So about once a week. I mist and clean the leaves.. Haven’t changed the soil or repotted yet since I got her. I also use fertilizer once per month starting in April.

I’ve had this meyer lemon tree for about a month now most of the leaves are falling and it’s not growing, I’ve watered and it’s been getting plenary of sunlight. What am I doing wrong?

whats this!?

Help 😩 First off, every alocasia I get will only grow 2 or 3 leaves and when a new one grows, the old leaf dies. I know this can be common, but I see these beautiful alocasias all over and mine are just wimpy 🥺 Secondly, this alocasia has recently put out two new leaves, but when they unfurled, they had mealies in them - about 4 or 5. I treated both times and there aren’t any mealies or signs of them on the rest of the plant, only on the new leaves that unfurl. Any suggestions?

Plumeria tree leaves turning brown- I just brought inside from my balcony, I’m wondering if it’s from the sun? It’s a really hot week with 90+ temperatures so I’m wondering if it’s sunburn and how I can help?

First ever pest problem! Help! Found these guys tucked behind a leaf on my potted begonia props, didn’t even give them a chance, leaf was cut off and binned straight away and rest of the plant doused with a neem mix. Have also been put in a different room. Any ideas what they are and what I should do going forward?

My polka dot plant was doing really well then all of a sudden the tips of the leaves started turning brown. The newer leaves seem to be ok and are still growing. What's wrong and what should I do?

What’s going on with my lavender? I have 6 of them, they were thriving for about 6 weeks, now all of a sudden they’re turning black and getting droopy. As you can see, the violas in the same planter are doing great so I don’t think it’s pest-related. The ones looking the worst seem to get the least water, but they all get watered everyday. Am I overwatering/underwatering? Are they maybe root bound? Do I need fertilizer? This is my first year growing lavender so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here.

Recently, when I water my pothos, the water comes out the drainage a bit brown. Is this something I need to be worried about?
