The Plant Father
Not much of a problem, recently purchased an elephant ear plant, only my 3rd plant. Should my soil be damp. I think the plant may have came overwatered. Maybe they added more water since it was a shipped to me. Moisture at the top and wet at the base.

okay.. has anyone had a successful experience with getting rid of thrips on their plants? I brought home 5 beautiful new babies, and it looks like about all of them have a minor infestation of thrips. Seriously maybe 3-4 adults on each plant that i’ve noticed, not too terrible. I quickly repotted, added bonide systemic granules, and drenched the roots/leaves/stems with Captain Jacks Dead Bug Brew. They’re all in quarantine, and i’m really hoping I can save them 🥹 any advice/ positive energy? 💛

My pilea was doing so well (1st picture) up until | decided to repot it from a 4in to a 6in terracotta pot and separated the MANY babies that were booming just recently (2nd picture).
I did have to cut off some of the roots because they were so root-bound): it has been under the same grow light and I repotted it in the same soil. I water once a week when the soil is dry.
I can't seem to figure out why the bottom leaves are drooping, yellow and fragile.
I did read that the older bottom leaves will tend to do this, but I'm not sure. I'm afraid it will be naked. Any advice? 😭

Scared to find out the answer, but could anyone give me insight on what these white things are? They’re on my lovely jade plant :( thank you in advance

So this guy is not getting enough sunlight ( this is the only place that gets decent sunlight in my house ) Any tips or suggestions or even advice. Sadly he is slowly dying.

I found bugs in my brand-new orchid bought from a local grower. It is potted in sphagnum. Should I replace the sphagnum and repot? Also, do y'all know what kind of bug this is?

When I purchased my Zebra plant I was told to water it by giving it a little mist. I’ve had it for months and just watch it slowly deteriorate 😭 it’s been drying out and tilting sideways, what is happening and how can I fix it??

Hey, I found a small whiteish bug on my orchid today. Can y’all comment photos of all the bugs y’all have encountered over the years with a name, because I couldn’t get a photo of it. 😭😭😭
Edit: I got it from a local grower.

Hi! I’ve had this money tree plant for four months and it seems to be thriving with new growth. I’ve noticed that one of the leaves has turned a bit yellowish with spots and some of the new growth looks a bit like it’s dying off. I water about every 7-8 days and am wondering why the plants leaves are turning this color now? Any advice would be helpful as I don’t want to loose it thanks!

I received this plant from a friend in August. All the leaves s have died with this unfurled one hanging on. It’s looked like this for over a month. It won’t open and there’s dryness on both ends. I’m afraid to over water it but maybe…. I just want to give this one a fighting chance.

I just bought this last week and first one leave was yellowing so I moved it to the window for more light via plant doctor. Now a second leaf is yellowing. I’m not sure when last this was watered but I have a tendency to drown plants. Should I water asap?

I just purchased this Canary Island Date Palm tree and when repotting discovered an ant colony living throughout its roots, any suggestions on how to rid it of these ants?

🆘 I have a gnat infestation. I’ve tried everything: neems oil, mosquito bits, and sticky traps. I just dumped white vinegar in the three plants that seem to be the cause as a last resort before I throw them away. Please help! I love these plants but I cannot handle the gnats. It’s unbearable.

Helppp, my baby rubber plant is wilting like crazy and leaves are dropping every time I touch it. The stems and some leaves are turning brown. I’ve been watering regularly. It has good drainage. Its in an okay place in my room. It gets some indirect sunlight, but not a lot. I don’t know what to do! Everything I tried isn’t working. I just got it a few months ago too!

HELP! I moved her to a spot she could grow longer but she sees sad over here, is this over watering or because of sun coming through the window? There’s not a direct sun that hits her throughout the day though

Calling for help for my Alocasia 🆘
I got this Alocasia Polly a bit over a week ago (PS it’s my very first Alocasia), and honestly the Plant store didn’t have the best conditions and some of the plants didn’t look happy (super risky, I know… but she looked beautiful and I didn’t want her to die there 😢).
So I saw right away a yellow/brownish spot on one of the leafs, and a few days in I noticed some tiny netting under the leaves (spider mites I guess 🫨), so I gave her a wash and sprayed her and her soil with a neem oil/dish soap solution). It’s been a week and I haven’t noticed any reappearing, but i will definitely reapply and keep her away from my other plants.
Today I also noticed a bit of yellowing on another leaf.
What else could it be? Is there any other measurements I can take, from your experience?
Thanks in advance!!! 💚

Hello! I got this Begonia a few weeks ago but it doesn’t seem to be doing too well. I repotted it today but I was wondering if anyone had anymore advice on how to revive it. Thank you!! x
