Good morning smart people! Anyone know what to do about a Phalanopsis spike curling back into the stem?

My birds nest fern had dry, crispy ends to itâs leaves. I keep the soil moist and mist regularly. Is there something that could be causing this that I should treat or it is just my cats biting the leaves?

I got this Jelly Bean about a year ago at a farmers market. It was maybe 1â tall when I got it and was in a 5â pot with 7 other plants that shouldnât have been together so I separated them. Anyways, Iâve seen pictures of the Jelly Bean having beautiful red tips but mine is so faded and has barely grown in a year. Is there anything I should be doing to help this guy?

Hi all, my rubber tree has spider mites! Can anyone advise on what has worked well to get rid of them? Iâve isolated it and plan on picking up neem oil, but Iâm open to other suggestions. Thanks!

So, my dill for my aerogarden has been not so good. I donât know what is going on, but I think it may be root rot. Do I just keep it in a separate container so it doesnât spread?
Hiya!
Thrips! Everyoneâs nemesis and so easy to miss. I found a great video on You Tube âthe life cycle of thripsâ on the Koppert channel. Iâm guessing thrips damage is so often overlooked by us all because these little buggers are almost impossible to see until theyâre full grown adults. By then theyâve laid hundreds of eggs inside the tissue of our plants. The damage caused by them is varied. đ„Ž

My desert rose has been slowing dropping its leaves and i canât figure out why. They get these weird brown spots then shrivel up and drop. And the bulb has just recently gotten slightly squishy. I donât think itâs overwatered and itâs definitely not getting too little sun. Any ideas?

Anyone know whatâs up with my money tree? The past few months she has been turning yellow and dropping all its leaves. The pot it was in was too small, so I repotted her and put out a bunch of new shoots in response, but is still dropping leaves (although at a slower rate). It seems like she wants to get rid of all old growth. She was doing so well until October when she stopped growing completely then started dropping leaves. Any help would be appreciated! I just moved so I now have her a foot below a grow light in a northern corner. She used to be a couple feet from a southern window with plenty of sun.

Help my Stripped Calathea! I got my Calathea in December as a graduation gift. It was already is bad shape when I received it and Iâve been working to revive her as I know these plants are sensitive. She is in a self watering pot with tropical plant soil. I only water it with melted room temperature snow water for now, and will be watering with rainwater as we get into spring. Through the environment change and repot she was doing okay, stable but not thriving. In the last 2 weeks she has gotten a lot crispier. The areas around the crispy edges are yellow, and it keeps progressing. She currently sits in my west facing bathroom windowsill, receiving ~3 hrs of direct light and lots of indirect light. The environment is relatively humid, with 1-2 showers a day. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to better care/ revive her! Thanks! đ

Iâve struggled with my calathea orbifolia ever since bringing them home last August. I finally had them stable and in good health. Recently though Iâve noticed one has yellow/brown spots on 2 leaves and the other one has a large dry section that continues to grow bigger on the leaf. Does anyone know the cause of this or what I can do? I use filtered and purified drinking water on my plants. Itâs currently 40% humidity in here. Typically though itâs usually between 40%-50% in the room.

I was running an errand today, and the pharmacy (of all places) was selling bonsaiâall five were wild coffee plants, and all were in a pitiful state. I bought the two that were closest to giving up, see pic, removed the dead and dying leaves, took them out of the tin pot so they can get some air through the nursery pot. And I watered themâIâm pretty sure theyâd been sitting there for a week without any water. Now theyâre in a sunny spot and Iâm planning to repot them when theyâre stronger, but Iâm not sure whether to use bonsai potting mix (which would be appropriate for the size) or regular potting soil with extra perlite. Right now theyâre sitting in some kind of soil thatâs as hard as cement, even after watering. Any advice? đđŒ

This is my ugly little houseleek haha. When I bought it a year or so ago it was cute. I didnât know much about it or how it would grow. Is this normal? Should I be doing something differently?

Anyone have experience with beneficial bugs like lacewings for example? I have a lot of plants and Iâm at the point where I really donât want to deal with pests too much. Mostly just not very good with treating them Debating about ordering lacewing larvae. So⊠Does anyone have experience with lacewing or other beneficial bugs? If so, how difficult is âapplyingâ them to the plants (I.e. placing them on the plants in a safe and effective manner)? Are they effective? Are they more preventative? Treatment option for current infestations? Or can they function as both? Are they bothersome? All of my plants are indoor plants and a good chunk of them are in my room. Managed to take care of a gnat problem fairly well but when the gnat problem was badâŠit was REALLY annoying If anyone recommends them, any recommendations for where to buy them from? Thanks everyone! Sorry for the long post
