Weird Leaf on my Monstera I noticed a few weeks ago or so now, that theres One leaf on my large monstera that is discolored, seems to have pest damage, and actually has a few dead fruitflies (might not be, but its my best guess) on it. I haven't noticed any pests this whole season, and no other plants, or even parts of this monstera seem to be effected. Thoughts and tips?

Any tips on this situation? My dieffenbachia has a leaf that is stuck inside a leaf that is stuck inside the stem. I’ve misted it, it’s got plenty of humidity and I’ve tried to help it along a little with a q-tip but I feel like if I force it any more it will break. It’s been a while that it’s been struggling here.

My husband brought me home two little Willow trees from the clearance rack at the grocery store. (We both always check and he's under strict orders to always grab the plants there. Lol). They just look a little off to me. The leaves seem to be whitish and some are drying up. Is that normal? I know I need to move them into a bigger pot or put them in the ground but I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Hi can someone please help me identify these pests? They’re ALL over my plant cabinet. This is my first non fungus gnat infestation and I’m not sure.

recently acquired this lovely big pot of mint 💚 I don’t have a garden so am going to have to keep her indoors, but looking online it says they need a lot of direct sunlight, and so I’m not sure if she’ll survive. I can’t fit her on a window because the pot is too big for all my windowsills, but I’ve put her as close as possible to this south/west facing window in my kitchen (pictured) planta is suggesting I water her almost daily, but the soil is definitely retaining a lot of water & is quite damp already. I really don’t want to kill her & ideally want to keep the mint supply up so I can use it for cooking! any tips? thanks in advance!! xx

This is Carlita 🩷. I got her from Walmart about a month ago and it said she was periwinkle. I keep her on my porch with my other plants and the last week she’s started fading around the edges and I have seen two small holes on her leaves. I’m wondering could this be from pests or am I not meeting her light needs.

*sorry about the pic quality* Hi everyone! My Avocado is being dramatic! She has been doing amazingly so far and I've been chopping her back to encourage newer and bushier growth which has been going well however all of a sudden this morning I noticed a couple of newer leaves looking like this. Almost like theyre soggy.. The leaves with dry ends I'm aware are just down to me not giving her a drink in time in the past but she always replaces them once I realise however these are the opposite. I haven't changed her watering schedule and still stick to making sure I check her soil before giving her any more. She gets a liquid feed now and then during the summer (if you can call it summer in Scotland) and she is in a well draining perlite mix to avoid root rot. She's currently in our kitchen window which provides part sun and shade with small amounts of full sun in the morning if we get good weather. Our plants seem to love the kitchen thanks to the steam from cooking. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

My Frizzle sizzle has dropped. Is there a problem? Or has it begun dormancy?

Noticed a “white powdery ring” around an Anemone plant at the base/mulched area (see photo). I watered over a few days ago only to see it reappear. I inspected the leaves and noticed “holes” but no evidence of any moving insect creature front nor backside of leaves. Seeking help as to what this “white powdery” reappearing ring around the base/mulch could be and preferred treatment.

Hi, I noticed these little white clusters (eggs?) on my creeping fig (I think). Does anyone know what pest it is? Thank you!

Lost Hyperion 🪴

I've inherited this amazing Umbrella tree from my partners late Grandparent. She was left sitting in a vacant building for about 3 years without water. We took her home last Saturday and her stems have not been doing great! Some of her leafs have started to wither and some leaf stems have turned brown. Her soil has been changed and given a drink of water but no improvement over the last couple of days and more leafs are wilting. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? Really don't want to lose her!

Hi all! New plant parent & I just got an aloe plant a week ago. It’s got a brown spot growing on its far right leaf, and I’m figuring it’s overwatering. Any thoughts otherwise? For context, it is in potting soil with extra drainage, on my west facing balcony (gets direct sun starting at 12ish until the sun goes down), and I had to move it out of the sun due to high winds for the last 2 days. Thank you!

Can someone help please!! I’ve had this plant for about 2 months and it’s still alive but this is what it looks like.. Everytime it grow a new leaf it eventually just dies off. When I first got it it was so full and pink. I don’t know what to do.. Is the pot to big? I want to save this pretty baby.
